Elven Evil-Good Goblinoid Unicorn-Trolls?

Elven Evil-Good Goblinoid Unicorn-Trolls?

Are you sure it wasn't just Goblin in two-man Unicorn costumes?

[kyle902]

I just lost 30 dwarfs because a damn rat corpse was blocking the door from closing and my trap system was incomplete.

18 unarmed goblins versus one Ettin in my new arena.  The Ettin won.  It took some damage throughout the battle, but healed it immediately.  Now I'm trying to drown it, though I don't know if it will work...  Nope, that's not working.  Time to drain the arena and send in the military.  I expect heavy losses.  Should be dwarfy!

EDIT: How unfortunate.  One dwarf was mildly injured and otherwise my 30-dwarf military dominated the Ettin...  I guess I'll get some adamantine armour and go conquer hell or something...

An engraver just created a masterful engraving in the count's burial chamber, of the count, surrounded by worms, looking terrified.  I know engravings are pretty much random, but that's hilarious and appropriate.

Now a puppy is chasing a troll around.

carve fortification and rain bolts onto the ettin? IM ettins got no damaging ranged attacks. If you can check if it shoots shockwaves through fortification I'd appreciate too.

Lots of hauling, not much production.
Also, I forgot that barons don't get replaced when they die.  So, my plan to drown my bedridden Baron and get a new one to talk to the human diplomat was not a great one.  Now I've got no baron, an unhappy diplomat, and a big empty throne room.
Also, I'm teetering over the edge of a tantrum spiral.  I really hope this fortress doesn't fall, because reclaiming big forts with lots of items reeeeeally sucks.

Mid-Autumn of the third year of Pickhollows. Holy god the miasma!

It's everywhere! Something's wrong with the militiamen and their food/water usage, so there are hundreds upon hundreds of items of rotting food lying around the fortress. What makes it all worse is that the food is owned by the person who was supposed to pick it up, so it can't be dumped/placed in a refuse pile. the troops were already unhappy from the recent conflicts, so this has stacked up to make for one very pissy psychiatrist whose been dealing with them like some sort of joy and happiness god. I realized suddenly that I could train my dwarves thanks to the library workshop, book items, and writing/reading reactions I wrote up a while back, so i dug out a space for four of them and set the psychiatrist to write books on consoling/pacifying. I learned however that I had not accounted for the way cloth items are handled so after completing just one job the library is cluttered with 2000 seperate items, each weighing 2 urists. I'm going to go back and fix this now. If I don't flood the room with magma this could take over a year to clean up! Mosus, you better pray one of your gods knows how to part the magma sea!

I also don't know how to safely empty the room of magma afterwards... this is turning into quite a chore.

Shoot, I woulda, but the arena is dug outta sand...  I'll keep an eye out for that, though.

Any particular reason your arena isn't set up for recapture?

Part 37 of my LP is up.

In which I explore to joy of mandates. Mandates which are easily met due to my mayor's basic likes.

Construction on my megaproject has begun, although the tantrum spiral I seem to be descending into (all of my cats dying of exploding feet finally caught up with me) makes me wonder whether it's likely to be finished without a reclaim.

You seem to love having all varieties of kraken in your game....
