A kobold thief snuck into my fortress. And he made it into a quite restricted area, and attempted to steal a Serpent Man Egg. Then he was caught by the immortal serpent woman who was guarding her future children. I watched in horror as the cutebold attacked her, cutting her arm with a lucky shot... before she shot a spray of fire and BOILED HIM IN A CLOUD OF HER OWN BLOOD-STEAM. I mean really, what the hell?

Anyway, I sent a brave soul (a useless hauler) to clean up the mess and return the egg to it's rightful place. Somehow, it was perfectly fine.

As the hauler left, he got 'hungry' and started walking back towards the eggroom. I facepalmed and marked the door as forbidden.

Yet another random day in Serpentshrine.

I knew bringing my adventurer to 'live' here, with her eggs, would be troublesome, with the AI controlling her.

A web-spitting parrot Titan appeared on my map. I stationed my army near the gatehouse but the parrot just flew over the walls. /facepalm

I lost 2 macedwarves. Those were recruits though.

Hey, first time I've seen this message.

Then again, the lucky couple usually ends up as the first two military dwarves... and never marry.

I have built "The Flusher" which is a water based defensive system that pushes goblins into weapon traps repeatedly, to ensure they move (and die) even after their leaders are killed.

So yeah, basically a big "bug" workaround, but man it's fun to watch! Three pumps pushing 7/7 water down a hallway, with automated gear engagement from a row of pressure plates, and a an automated "it's full" indicator in the drain to turn it all off once there's been a wave pushed through.

The weapon traps are filled with 10 warhammers each, so there's no body part explosion when they die, unlike the serrated discs, swords or axes.  A lot of bruising this and shattering that, which has it's own level of satisfaction.   

Takes care of a Siege of 40-80 goblins in about 15-30 seconds real-time.

If you don't mine up all the candy deposit within three years (may be less, I don't recall) of discovering it, it will transform into a legion of nearly unkillable monsters. Good luck.

Or instead he could just look it up on the wiki.

A massive goblin siege army attacked my aboveground fort with cave crocodiles and cave crawler mounts. I lost 17 of my 20 macedwarves and there are still some greenskins in my fort. Oh well.. time to clean up. Too bad I lost my best dwarf

Playing .31.25

The Rags of Luck have traveled far from their home in the lands of The Warm Quakes to settle their new colony, Romancedroofs. A motley, estrogen-driven crew of 5 ladies and 2 fellas who consider themselves the luckiest dorfs alive. Most of the Rags have a little training in multiple areas, and nearly all of them have given each other crude nicknames for their professions.

Zon Tangledtrumpets is the first member of the crew. She has been dubbed the "big woody" for her dual interest in woodcutting and carpentry.
Risen Nailships is the second, and one of the two males. He has been dubbed the "rock nut" for his interest in mining and masonry.
Mafol Spearpoints hates her last name. She loves life in all forms, practicing as a doctor, an herbalist, and a farmer, leading her to be called the "hippy".
ezum Callpulley is nearly always covered in her nicknamesake "guts" as the local meatmonger and tanner.
Zefon Flagtouched was dubbed the "battle barmaid" for her combat prowess and surprisingly decent homemade booze.
Mistem Shockrim the "techie" loves her name as much as she likes tricking out the latest set of mechanisms and gears, though she insists on mining her own material for her projects.
And ingiz Drummedboot, unsurprisingly, ended up as the "face" of this bunch of antisocial loonies, his entire life dedicated now to keeping them from breaking out in fights.

First assignments: Risen and Mistem are going to dig stairwells down to the stone layers so we can determine how many soil layers are present and start moving belongings downstairs. Zon will cut trees, Mafol will scrounge for wild vegetation, and as soon as possible, ezum will finish off the draft beasts and Zefon will start converting vegetables into precious booze and seeds.

Trying to not die from the combined assault of Wolves, Kobold Thieves, Random Giant Animals and/or Animal Men, and a werebeast that (thankfully) triggered one of my cage traps.

In the meantime, I have found exactly zero rock-based sources of fuel, and it's too dangerous to go outside and risk chopping wood since, yeah. Wildlife. At least I have a butt ton of metal and rock and gems and platinum.
