Powdered Sweet Pod

Crushed Mermaid Scale

Elven Bone Marrow

Flaked Adamantine

Ground Unicorn Horn

Was this the fortress where I was dwarfed as a furnace operator or the fortress where I oversaw ridiculous lag for about a month and then quit?

EDIT: Or both?

Yeah, looking at the Player List, I'm listed as having already been on it. That sounds about right. The one where I came off like a total noob even though I've been playing this game for over a year. (To be fair, I haven't done much of the succession game stuff).

I think I'd like to be dwarfed, and maybe give the overseeing thing another shot.

[mate888]

While cleaning up the fort, I noticed it was the 28th of Opal alredy. The last day of the year.
A hell of a way to greet 1065, isn't it?
Also, since I started playing this after 1064 started, because of the parts of the year played by PyroTechno before he retired it, so will I play the next year like Taupe did, or should I just put up the save? (who knows, maybe Iamblichos is a masochist and wants to deal with the reconstruction of the fort's morale by himself).
EDIT: Whoops, my bad, Obsidian is the last month, not Opal.
Still, I don't know if the year 1065 corresponds to me or to Iamblichos.

THE THINGS THAT HAUNTED THE FIRST DOOMFORESTERS OF THE DAYS OF OLD HAVE RETURNED TO HAUNT THE FORT AGAIN!

WHYYYYY!?

[Taupe]

Just punch it. We are past caring about semi-megabeasts.

...Unless the army is all dead in which case run. Speaking of which. Remember like ten seconds before the army died, when someone said ''Wow Doomforests' army is in pretty good shape, impressive!''. Yeah don't say that. Ever.

Well, we do still have at least one melee dwarf (a speardwarf) alive, and most of the Marksdwarves.
The thing is, I don't know how effective would bolts be aganist crazed minotaurs, and the speardwarf happens to be Senshuken V... And people called like this don't have the best of luck...
Also, the minotaur is on the very top of the mountain and the army is on the very bottom, and the bridges are all open...
I guess forbidding a couple of doors would be enough, but we'd loose our entrance...
Oh God I forgot about the entrance to the trade depot.

Do it. Senshuken V will either prove himself better the Senshuken the fourth, or die trying.

If you are just playing out the remnants of someone else's year, your year comes after that.

If you got a full year of your own, then pass it on

Journal of Mate the 888th, Overseer of Doomforests.
Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
Nifih/Lizard Satan seems to hate us a lot.
The doors to the trade depot are forbidden, if the bullman wants to enter, he'll have to do so throught the trade depot entrance. I'll send the army there to stop him. Even if they die, we'll have enough time to seal the ladder...
Atleast I hope so...
He's coming...
He is getting closer...
Brace yourselves, prepare for impact!
FOR ARMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!
...
Oh. Yeah... Cage traps... I forgot about those.
Now, what should we do to the minotaur? Sacrificing him to Armok sounds tempting, but we may find some more... Interesting uses to it...
Yeah, let's do the interesting thing.
Why sacrifice a bullman to Armok when you can put him in a maze?

It's obvious, but you should make a shaft to safely throw annoying noblescaptives down the labirynth, and watch minotaur make sacrifices for Armok.

In fact if you manage to drop the invaders into the maze from high enough to cripple them but not kill em, we can powerlevel the minotaur into a super wrestler of doom.
...Of Doom-Forests...

[mate888]

I forgot to unpause the game while I was out...
Thankfully the laptop was closed, so the game should have autopaused... Right?
Also, a foolish builder defaced something.
And yes, I was planning in putting a shaft to throw captives into the maze, but I don't know how to dump them without dumping the cage aswell...

Either build the cage above a hole and activate it, or build the cage in a room made mostly of a retracting bridge. Seal it, let the captive wander after you release them, then activate the bridge when they step over it.

YES A LABARYNTH!!!! Dude, that's genius!

Not really, I'm just plagiarizing the island of Crete.

[PsychoAngel]

Actually, you'd be plagiarizing King Minos of Greek mythology, who is what the Minotaur is named after. 

Loving the progress so far, Mate. DF has been and will always be a huge source of good stories such as our own.
