got most of the work done on turning the hillside leading up to the east entrance into a long ramp. now I just have to place something that can notice ambushes at the start of it and I'll have plenty of time before they reach me. on the west side I have almost finished the first set of walls for my courtyard, partly to keep enemies out/early warning and partly because I have some pumps running in the nearby river with no way of turning off and the water was starting to close on the entrance.
downstairs I have had a sudden forgotten beast population boom. First was a flyer in the second cavern that got up to the first trough the giant hole between them. Since it was made of mist, I wasn't sure I could kill it and made my first controlled cave-in, which was a sucsess. only lost a miner who insisted on channeling from the wrong tile. Probably should not have named the group Twinkle the Suicidal Pick.
When the second one arrived I forgot that fb's are not stopped by doors, so it got into my fort and had fun scarring just about every dwarf in there. For once the military decided to be smart and promptly beat it into a blody pulp in my furniture stockyard.
The third one I tried to wall out, but it charged straight for the entrance before the dwarfs had a chance to build walls. my captain had an easy fight until the fb got a sock. the second hammer dwarf finally decided to join and drew the fb into the deep waters, giving some hauler enough time to save my captain. the lazy/brave hammerer finally drowned 1 tile away from the shore after taking a freaking long underwater walk. Not sure if I should make a tomb for him for being awsome at (almost) not drowning or let him rot for being lazy. My captain have now lain in the hospital for a long time with Heavy Bleeding and Cannot Breath status while the chief medic ignores him
starting to wonder how long a dwarf can survive in that condition. Now trapped in the cavern, the fb have decided to drown at least 2 children and an adult accidentaly trapped with it. WTF? it could claw them apart or beat them to death, but nooo, mister sadistic beast would rather drown babies. Think I have lost between 10 and 15 dwarfs to drowning and I havent even flodded the fortress yet.
Even though I have a mighty 4*4 dining room with 6 table/chair sets and 8 beds in the corridor between the dining room/farm area and the animal stockpile/butcher area, my dwarfs are complaining of lack of chairs and tables beds, even though its only year 4 and 80 dwarfs. Dwarfs these days are so spoiled, complaining of everything.
