First accident while mining out ridiculosly large deathtrap for breaking sieges. Utterly contrived path, like snake in convulsions, in large, hollowed out area where entire walls have fortifications. Entire way will be paved with weapon traps with wooden spears or something equally harmless. Gobbos will learn to fly. More lucky will die quick and painful death in magma many z-levels down. Unlucky will hit way some point lower with multiple broken bones. All entire time being pincushioned by bone and wodden arrows with chance of something actually deadly. Should work great for training up marksdwarves. In theory.

Three docs are with no non-medical labors and they have for long time No Job. There is miner in pool of blood, Doc McUseless! I hate hospital bugs.

I've been pretty pleased with my population of around 90. What's that, migrants? Oh well, there can't be tha- twenty-four holy shit!

In a desperate need to protect FPS and alcohol, I arranged a welcoming party at the most stunning of locations

From now on I will check the weight limit, I swear!

a voracious cave crawler did in about 15 civilians before my military caught up with him, now assigning a new military group to patrol the tunnels.

New "fortress" Lancescratches, where the dwarves are patiently waiting for the river to freeze again so that we can continue creating our river entrance through the aquifer. Last spring was a mad dash to get walls erected before the water thawed and drowned any dwarves caught within; luck was on our side and the walls were completed within days of the thaw. The river-bed ones will be torn down in favor of raised bridges.

HA.. We've decided together as a community that we are tired of taking shit from Elves. We've erected a wall around our trading post with floodgates attached to a lever which are 3 wide for an entrance. Once those slick bastards are inside... WHAMMO! We lock them in. Oh it's so hilarious to watch them come to near dehydration and starvation, only to go beserk and have their own guards kill them. We may or may not have done this to the mountain home caravans as well. Then when everyone is dead (or at least their pack animals) we all move in and take all evidence of any traders ever coming here.

Not particularly relevant, but elves don't have guards.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

The first artifact of Ebalmonom, "Reverepapers", has been created!

Nonub Monom, "The Punch of Paper", a mule bone grate.  This is a mule bone grate.  All craftdwarfship of the finest quality.  Worth... $1200.

If only it wasn't a possession so I could have gotten a legendary bone carver out of it... /sigh  At least the name rocks.

Quick edit:  Elves brought me a Tigerman!  I... have no idea what happened to him.  Right after I purchased him and put him with the other cages full of critters I bought from the elves... he just randomly died.  He was TAME but I put his cage down, went about my business, and then went to go check him out and not only was he not in his cage... his corpse is currently rotting in my refuse pile.  I have NO idea how this happened. :\

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

A metalcrafter from my latest wave of migrants drowned after being assaulted by a skeletal mountain goat. Had I not taken a shit at the time I could have intervened and then he, a father and husband'd still be alive.  :(

Goddamn skeletons!


EDIT, woah wait. It seems he and the goateleton fought while submerged, the goat is in the same pool lying dead(er.) The puppy Mosus Ralar has been killed by a goat as well now.
