[Taupe]

I wonder if I'm even alive in the first place...

[TheDarkStar]

1 Hematite

[Literally the first tick that I start playing the save again, this happens.]

Taupe is the first one to notice. "Undead! Sound the alarm and close the gates!"

I become worried about the dwarves who are in the outside farms. "They'll die out there!"

"It's sad, but it's for the best. Their death is inevitable. We simply can't fight off these invaders, especially with the external body stockpile."

4 Hematite

I think he was on the bridge when it closed.
Mebzuth, Dwarven Planeter, has been found dead, drowned.

Also, any suggestions for dealing with the siege?

[Tiruin]

Wall up.
Pull all the levers.
This is what I wanted to face!

[TheDarkStar]

13 Hematite

Urdim has slipped into depression. Let's just hope that he doesn't go insane.

Meanwhile, the zombies slaughter everyone still outside.

Ingish, Dwarven Planter (Town) has died!
Uzol, Dwarven Planter (Town) has died!
Stakud, Dwarven Planter (Town) has died!
Zasit, Dwarven Planter (Town) has died!
Lolor, Dawrven Baby (Survivor) has died!

From a fall:

Rakust, Dwarven Mason (Town) has been found dead!

14 Hematite

Icefire just had a fey mood.

15 Hematite

A salt beast with deadly dust just showed up. Can this get any better?

16 Hematite

Worst forgotten beast ever.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It fell down the stairs and died.

18 Hematite

Mistem, Dawrven Baby (Survivor) has died!

Also, the marksdwarves decided to climb the wall rather than shooting from behind the fortifications, so there were more deaths.

Sazir, Marksdwarf (Town) has died!
Rovod, Marksdwarf (Town) has died!
Kulet, Marksdwarf (Town) has died!
Ast, Marksdwarf (Town) has died!

20 Hematite

This one died in the hospital of wounds/infection. It might not even have been my fault.

Sarvesh, Dwarven Baby (survivor) has died!

25 Hematite

I think he died a while ago.

Kikrost, Dwarven Recruit (Town) has been found dead!

This brings the deathcount to 32 so far.

5 Malachite

Ushrir, Dwarven Miner has been stricken by melancholy!

Seriously, there were barely any bad things in her thought list.

7 Malachite

A dwarf just channeled straight down. He didn't die, but he had his hands and legs crushed.

12 Malachite

Adamantine! Praise the miners!

25 Malachite

I have no idea how this happened.

Kadol, Dawrven Baby (Survivor) has died!

5 Galena

Icefire, Dwarven Carpenter has gone stark raving mad!

He mooded but I could never figure out what exactly he needed.

-To be continued-

[Dorsidwarf]

Am I alive? I lost track of the corpses. Either way,

Dorsidwarf sighs as the marksdwarves vault the walls and run screaming into the zombies. "That's dreadful marksdwarfship! Hit 'em with the pointy bits lads!



Lads?


Bah.

[mastahcheese]

How am I still alive?
Do I never leave my room?

[notquitethere]

How am I still alive?
Do I never leave my room?

The cheese won't make itself. (Also, this smacks of WIFOM; I have a theory why you've not been killed by scum yet...)

[Jim Groovester]

This is quite the turn indeed.

[TheDarkStar]

Am I alive? I lost track of the corpses. Either way,

Dorsidwarf sighs as the marksdwarves vault the walls and run screaming into the zombies. "That's dreadful marksdwarfship! Hit 'em with the pointy bits lads!



Lads?


Bah.

You are alive. Well, until something else Fun happens. Incidentally, I'm the only legendary miner left alive.

I'll be finishing my turn even later, it seems. Christmas events got in the way of things.

[Deus Asmoth]

I'm not sure that there's any way that dwarves even can kill undead at the moment. I've had zombies get past six or seven layers of weapon traps filled with masterwork silver balls and get out unscathed, then murder my entire military because they're too busy standing around watching.

An important note: don't close the gates unless your walls are at least two levels high. Otherwise the zombies will just climb the walls and you'll have to deal with them from all directions at once instead of just at the gate with a possible chance of maybe killing one or two of them before you get overrun.

[TheDarkStar]

26 Galena

"These undead don't look like they are leaving. At least the execution chamber is finished, though. We never did find the person who has been killing so many dwarves, but when we do, we can deal with them."

2 Limestone

There's an argument breaking out between the dwarves.

"You're the one who has been killing us all and telling all of our enemies about our weaknesses!" "Why would you say that unless you were mafia? It's you!"

Just before it becomes a fistfight, TheDarkStar calms everyone down. "Who do you think is mafia? Let's take a vote."

"Mephanstras!" "Taupe!" "Ezum the miner!"

"Wait, wait, let's count up votes".

Votecount:

Mephanstras: 34
Taupe: 28
Ezum: 119

"Well, I think it's clear who we think is scum here. Who other than a miner could have ordered dwarves to dig in all the wrong places to cause cave-ins and attract beasts? Arrest her immediately!"

Ezum is taken to the execution chamber, and Taupe, Mephanstras, and TheDarkStar go to watch.

6 Limestone

 

Ushrir, Dwarven Miner (Town) has been found dead, dehydrated!

"He went insane, and then he just stopped eating, drinking, or moving. He just gave up."

11-13 Limestone

"I'm innocent! Really! If you kill me, terrible things will happen and I'll haunt you as a ghost!"

TheDarkStar is not convinced by Ezum's cries and orders than402 to pull the lever.

The lever is pulled and Ezum falls. He hits the side on the way down, destroying his left hand and liver and breaking bones. He screams are cut short when he reaches the bottom of the 24-z-level shaft and his body is crushed almost beyond recognition. His arms (minus hands) and upper body are still mostly intact, but everything else is an unrecognizable mess of gore. Unfortunately, he is not mafia.

Ezum, Dwarven Miner (Town) has fallen to his death!


Does lava hurt zombies? I seem to recall them simply becoming !!!zombies!!! and carrying on as usual.

[TheDarkStar]

17 Limestone

Tun, Dwarven Mason has been possessed!

26 Limestone

Tun, Dwarven Mason has creasted a schist door (value 3600)!

Bah, a possession and a near-useless artifact.

1 Sandstone

icefire2314, Dwarven Carpenter (Cult) has been found dead, dehydrated!

He was the one that went insane because he didn't get materials for an artifact.

4 Sandstone

I just got an idea. A crazy, dwarven idea.

Crush all the undead with a giant constructed ceiling.

Will it work?

Edit: Due to a lack of time in my turn, the next person will have to remove zombies for me.

[TheDarkStar]

Time to finish this turn.

19 Sandstone

A forgotten beast in the form of a scorpion showed up. It will probably stay in the caverns indefinitely until some future overseer releases it accidentally.


I'll get the last month done tomorrow (hopefully morning).

[Taupe]

''A message from your overseer, TheDarkStar

Due to having reached trice the quota for accidental deaths during my mandate, I have decided to pass on the release of a deadly scorpion, the construction of an unsafe sky-building, and a zombie invasion, to the next overseer.

Keep calm, and stay happy

TheDarkStar''

[notquitethere]

I note that no scum died during TheDarkStar's overseership, but many town did. A simple analysis of the data indicates that TDS is scum. Probably working with MastahCheese, who has been active lurking in the fort. Unfortunately, I'm dead so cannot in fact vote.
