Vampire Mayor: Alone among the dead (ongoing log.)
« on: April 16, 2015, 05:42:56 pm »


Today has been a bad day. On this day the 9th of sandstone 293 two major events happened, first off one of the two lone survivors of the zombie apocalypse cracked under the pressure. Melbil the animal caretaker distraught at being forced to slaughter the reanimated remains of those he once loved even when he himself was at no risk of being attacked as he was a vampire went into a berserk rage and was torn to shreds by the zombie hord.

Mayor Ingish is alone among the dead now. It is just him, the ghosts, and the undead. New migrants do show up periodically but they die in moments adding ever more to the ranks of the dead.

From the looks of it, you have an anvil, some bolts, and some workshops. The way to live (if you don't have a pick on you), is to dismantle the workshops, melt the bolts, make a pick, and dig your way to success. After you get a pick, mine stone and make slabs, or suffer a ghostly death.

The purple overseer hat weights heavily on one's head. Some would argue that the leadership of Doomforest is uneasy to bear for too long. Others would simply suggest that we don't craft the next overseer hat out of rutile.

I've heard Minecart Airlines Express offers nice trips to nobility. Alternative trips include a voyage over the volcano. Call 1-800-I-THE-GUINEAPIG-VOLUNTEER and book now!

If he makes an artifact he should be immune to insanity entirely, then only ghosts can affect him.

...what has df done to us that we understand sentences like that with ease?

Except you need a population of 20 for strange moods.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

For the strange moods to *start*, but is it possible for them to continue if the population dips below 20 later?

Awesome setup by the way. If you do get a pick is it possible to make a safe haven for the migrants? Which you can later turn into blood cattle for your vampire lord?

That was my original thought but he refuses to do work of any kind when not being ordered to slaughter anyone. He just goes back to the No Job status even with tons of labors he's assigned waiting to be done.

So Mayor Ingish has been doing his usual thing slaughtering the dead, taking there stuff, and generally kicking ass. There remains only one issue. Apparently with all the death and destruction he just doesn't really seem to have the will to do any sort of work in between slaughterfests. That and he remains unwilling to tangle with goblin bow or crossbow men for which I do not blame him. While he may recover absurdly quick from most injuries getting shot in the legs and face then beaten to a pulp before the undead claw your enemies apart isn't fun.

Zombie troll got in a lucky hit while the Mayor was destroying it's face with his flails.
