Well we entered the caverns and I think the wagon escape route should work. Still waiting for a wagon caravan to survive entry into my fort so too soon to tell if I did it right.
Of course, the entry was not uncontested. Most of the forgotten beasts luckily died easily. Then a giant bat swooped down on an explorer and ripped her head off. That was rather disturbing
. Descending deeper into the caves we found the coastline where a cave crocodile lived. Up to three times he ripped an explorer to pieces, vanishing into the water when my militia arrived, striking the moment I recalled them. He died when my soldiers caught him destroying the practice range.
Things seemed safe when suddenly a flaming forgotten beast arrived (from the sea of all places) and laid waste. Fortunately a lot of war dogs were near and they took the brunt of the attack. All of them died but they did take out a leg and allowed one of my militia to close. In an epic struggle that lasted very long he finally killed it by whacking off its head with his warhammer. Burning, bleeding and suffocating from all the smoke he dragged himself back to the barracks (leaving a trail of blood all the way) and resumed training with the other soldiers keeping a respectful distance. He actually healed on his own and is still alive
. The caverns are now filled with smoke as there are burning war dog corpses everywhere.
It cost me a lot of giant copper tipped arrows but I managed to hit a troll with my Ballista
He was extremely heavily wounded but eventually healed (I'd run out of arrows) and wandered off, the bastard.
The one vampire that was not completely miserable has been released and has gone on a massive killing spree killing six including the mayor (which I hated for his fondness of bracelets). Attempting to lock him up I unleashed another vampire (
). Now they are both wandering around tantrumming and killing people (including my bookkeeper) as they haven't had clothes on for years. In other news, I've run out of clothes. Not quite sure what to do, don't want to lock them up or kill them yet untill I am sure the depressed one is now harmless
.
My hunter learned the hard way that taking a nap outside with an enraged Wolverine nearby is a very bad idea. She lives but she won't be running for miss Dwarf anytime soon
.
In horrible ways to die we have a winner today with another limping guy getting a gate shut in his face due to slowness and then getting shot at least 50 times by 8 goblin bowmen while at the same time getting beaten up by a Tick man. Talk about the death by a thousand pinpricks. Ironically he was working on building an escape tunnel to prevent exactly this happening
.
We've also lost a godawful amount of kids to kidnappers lately. All this has caused various minor tantrum spirals and suicdes. With the lack of clothes everyone is living on the edge now.
I also discovered we have much fewer weapons and armor as I thought. We're slowly turning out some steel toyz for the boyz to remedy this.
I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I'm a mountainhome now but no king etc as my baron has commited suicide (by dwarf) before we became a mountainhome. Now with every migrant wave I get traders. They just stand at the edge of the map and get killed. No idea what to do about this
