So I was afk-ing my cavern wall-off-collapse project when I met another banal megabeast message.
And then I read the message.

Holy Armok!!! WHAT IS THIS?!???

It's a burd. Imagine a giant kea on steroids. And more concerned with eating your dwarves than stealing from them.

[Lightfoot]

Just made another statue. I hear that dwarfs like statues that represent an animal that they particularly like. So hopefully they will love this one. I think that it's rather swish, if I may say so myself.

7/10 IGN, not enough animals.

In all sincerity though...what does that look like? I imagine a horrid amalgamation of creatures packed together into one, eternally screaming mass of stone.

I just had four loyalty cascades before I finally got things fixed. Stupid Bastiongate and your bugs.

Now all I need to do is decorate my statue with every variety of gemstone and cut stone available in order to make the wall of text even bigger. Oh yes.

40 citizens, 20 of which are children and most of them are playing make believe in the tavern...

[Random_Dragon]

Anyone know why my outpost liaison is just hanging around the tavern with "no activity"? When I v-g it says "This visitor has come for diplomacy and to relax". Last few dwarven caravans haven't initiated the usual meetings. My mayor is in a squad but has downtime to conduct meetings, and there's never a "conduct meeting" job in the liaison or mayor's v-g screens.

It seems that now, liaisons will hang around for a while just chilling out after submitting their initial report to the expedition leaader, mayor, etc. They'll leave eventually.

Never knew they could dance in circle.

[Whodunnit]

Since both giant keas and outpost liasions have been mentioned recently, I shall tell you a tale.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rith Kubukkeskal and Heavensunder the giant kea, as told by Kubuk Cilobtan, Expedition leader (with commentary by Urdim Zursulmonom, Militia commander).

"Gather round ye young beardlings and listen to the tale of Brave Rith Kubukkeskal and how Heavensunder the giant kea earned his name.

It happened so in the winter of the year 251, the second winter since the founding of Shockmine, that the fortress was beset by giant keas. This was the second time that the gargantuan pests had assailed the fortress and so all dwarfs (Well, there were only seven of them.) of Shockmine sallied forth with crossbow and bolt, anxious to protect their meager riches from the thieving birds.

Many birds fell that day (Like, two.) before the one that was to be called Heavensunder crested the walls (Fell on them from being shot down, more like.). Unbeknownst to the dwarfs of Shockmine, Rith Kubukkeskal, the outpost liasion from our great capital, who had been staying with us since the autumn caravan (Freeloading little git!) had went forth to lend his aid. Seeing the great beast preparing to charge into our midst, Rith bravely leapt into the snarling monsterīs path (It was knocked out from the fall!). With nothing but his two fist, he fought the beast (Didnīt bring a weapon, the stupid git.). Although he fought valiantly and held the beast of for a time, eventually the baleful bird gathered itīs might (Woke up more like.). It grasped Rithīs head in itīs enormous beak and shook him from side to side. Seeing Rith being savaged by the great bird, Lolor Tekkudrinal went to his aid and together they slew the beast (She bashed itīs head in with one blow!), but not before Brave Rith had died from his injuries (He was completely useless.).

And so the dwarfs of Shockmine gave the name Heavensunder to the monster so that this lesson might not be forgotten (Stay away from Giant Keas. Those bitches are mean!). And so Brave Rithīs sacrifice would be remembered, they laid him to rest in the soil of the fortress he had helped defend (We didn't use that corner anyway.) and made statues befitting of his valor.

So ends the tale of Rith Kubukkeskal and the giant kea Heavensunder. (What a load of bollocks!)"

Oh, dear lord...when I read that, I may have winced a bit.

A lot.

I don't have eyes anymore.

Enjoy.

Also, funny thing is - that was just a regular brawl over arguments. Still resulted in testicular manslaughter.

[sirdanilot]

My fort just got invaded by somewhere around 50 goblins plus a plethora of trolls and even more beak dogs. 

My complete millitary consisting of 20 master (and some even legendary) axedwarfs got slaughtered, except for one, who managed to kill the last invaders all by himself, earning an epithet for having 5 notable kills. About 20 civilians were also slaughtered.

But  the fort still stands, despite being decimated.

I'd bring up the "castration via rock salt sword" incident to make you wince harder, but that was in adventure mode. XP
