Due to an unfortunate encounter with a forgotten snow blob, I now have a blind jeweler.
And a blind surgeon.
Both are still doing their job.
Things are getting interesting.

Bahaha.
New embark, the militia commander or whatever is happily running about killing small animals. Then, the unthinkable happens-two ogres and an ogress decide to snack on the dwarves. Well, Unib McScrewed isn't going to stand up for this. He whips out his inflatable ego, grabs his copper axe, and promptly gets mauled. The rest of the embark crew is recruited and then mauled. I lol.

What is it, the fifth year of Bloatedmountains? Way too peaceful of an embark, I have 150+ dwarves all running around with 3000+ stockpiles of drink and prepared meals and enough farm plots that I really don't pay attention to any of it anymore. The embark was on a 5x4 space of mountain around a volcano, which led to a miner falling into the volcano and hitting the bottom, discovering the magma sea and the adamantium vein some 10 z-levels below the lowest natural z-level. Only incidents were a cyclops and an ettin, both killed by Atis the militia commander and his big-ass hammer. Who has cave adaptation and thus vomits on his enemies as he beats them to death.
Right now I'm carving out the mountain to the lowest z-level, leaving naught but a large rectangle that is made up of my fort and the volcano in the center. I shall flood magma into this pit around my mountain-tower, which will be plated with platinum at the bottom where the magma moat resides, and then from there on up it shall be plated with gold (we have way too much frikken gold, everyone and their mother has a gold something-or-other). A bridge and supports made of gold (and platinum) will stretch from the tower to the edge of the map, of course connected to a system of levers to drop anyone who displeases me into the moat. With 50+ miners on the job, we have finished the east bank, and are beginning work on the north.

Of glorious and bloody war
Of ale to be feared,
And long braided beards
On the women we all do adore.

Decided to move my tombs to a more spacious location and "accidentally" disinterred the only dwarf to have died in my fortress so far. He died in a cave-in but was ecstatic, so I hope that if he comes back as a ghost, he'll be the partying kind.

16th Timber, Late Autumn, 260

I have absolutely no idea what's going on at Speargorged. I was ecstatic to discover the Mine of Cathedrals had sent a caravan to trade. Unfortunately, they were annihilated by a force of goblins, who were swiftly obliterated by another group. In the meantime, a force of Trolls decided to charge through my front gates and into the Hall of Ouch, which quickly halted their advance. I wont be able to repair the front gates until the siege is lifted, and the clean up will be horrendous. At least I know my traps are working now.

Part 18 of my DF LP is up.

You know Mosus being attacked by another troglodyte would probably be amusing if it didn't kill her. So that's the 3rd death in Reveredtour, once again due to beasts of the deep. Wasn't even zombies, so maybe the undead are the least of my concerns. After all, you can apparently reduce them to dust with a single punch.

I ordered cage traps to be installed last year, but apparently nobody got around to making them. Wonderful. Still, I'm to happy about finding haven to really complain to much. It's one of the best farming locations I've ever seen. Biggest downside is it being on the second cavern layer. Also while the passage to the Abyss actually does reach the bottom, it leads straight into the water. So it shouldn't be an issue, unless a deep kraken shows up. I have a special project in mind involving this particular area.

I'm going to dig an exploratory shaft and chuck Dashy the gazelle down it at some point. I want to find some magma, and am hoping that 3rd cavern layer has a magma pipe. Doubtful, but one can hope.

After facing ever-increasing goblin ambushes - the last consisting of four or more squads and more than 25 goblins - Craftsbands has received its first siege!

...Of 16 goblins.

Look down, now up. You're in a trap-filled hallway.

It was either a really long drop, or a really bloody stingray.

Clowns? In Dwarf Fortress? That's ridiculous. Are they modded? Do they have those trick flowers that squirt water, and big bulb noses, and floppy shoes?
