[Flying Dice]

Just managed to get a perfectly flat, warm, heavily forested embark with a volcano as an open pit in the surface and a stream source. Currently embarking on a strip-mining operation.

Also, apparently embarking with 2k+ granite boulders gave me two wagons instead of one.

So, the guy who killed the forgotten beast finally died.

The poison apparently worked in three stages: first a fever, then numbness, then getting randomly killed by a Draltha.

[jappipi]

Hey, let's put temperature on to kill apply magma on that stupid noble.
......
*A Lion has bled to death*
What. How?
*goes back to the surface*





LOL

found adamantine!

last time it was all solid from top to bottom...
This time it's completely hollow. As soon as a miner looked it, hell opened and fortress died in 2 minutes.

!!FUN!!

The broker bites The Badger Boar in the left rear paw from the side, tearing the muscle!
The broker latches on firmly!
The broker shakes The Badger Boar around by the left rear paw and the severed part sails off in an arc!
The left rear paw is ripped away and remains in The broker's grip!
The Badger Boar is no longer stunned!
The expedition leader charges at The Badger Boar!
The expedition leader bashes The Badger Boar in the right rear paw with his bronze crossbow, bruising the skin!
The expedition leader collides with The Badger Boar!
The Badger Boar is knocked over and tumbles backward!
The expedition leader punches The Badger Boar in the lower body with his right hand, bruising the guts!
The expedition leader kicks The Badger Boar in the head with his left foot, bruising the mussel, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing apart the brain!
The Badger Boar has been knocked unconscious!

Goddamn badgers, now my broker is a dabbling biter and my expedition leader is a dabbling kicker.

EDIT: I just spotted some phantom spider webs, and the werewolf has returned.
EDIT2: The expedition leader started off biting the werewolf's tail to hold it in place while the manager lined up a shot with his crossbow to the werewolf's head. I thought werewolves were scary.

Holy gosh, I welcomed the queen inside my fortress. It's my very first time without royalty dying upon arrival. And as expected, she has no preference, either. I love her so much already.

Project acquifer has brought me quite a lot of satisfactions...and problems. Having channeled and removed ramps everywhere in my Dry moat where the water is channeled when needed, a siege decided to land on a line of ground...from where they cannot move. i'm keeping the distances until they leave, but if all the sieges are like that, phew. and sigh, also, i want to use my amok-damn trained war crocodiles to bring chaos. and my tamed chipmunks and rats! on the plus side, finally the two caravan worth of merchants finally died and drowned. only dwarfs pass through safely, the rest, i drown and raze.

the humans seem to have infinite elephants - 1745 elephant meat and counting
building an atomsmasher to destroy 30000 stone... gonna be a while...

The Entire population is working to sort goods from the depot. Meanwhile, a baker's dozen dead crundles and a giant olm need butchered before they rot. The militia killed them as a training exercise. I should disable the butchers' hauling labors so they can finish the task at hand.

I need to construct a pump stack to bring magma to our smiths with greater efficiency...

[darthbob88]

Ye cats. Just had my third forgotten beast ever, a silverfish made of rhodolite. Marshalled defenses to hold it off at my main cavern gate, where it looked like it was going. Got a lot of "Urist McScaredypants cancels drink: Forgotten Beast". Finally went to check them out. While I'd been waiting for it in the caverns, it flew up to my damn keep and was futzing about up there. *Facepalm* Ordered my squads up there and it got shot. I did not know that such things could fly.

A black crab FB with horns came along.
In a cave full of water.
He might aswell swim in there for years to come.

And now, an one eyed pterodactyl. With noxious secretions or something.
It broke a swordsdwarf's right elbow before being horribly murdered.

I'm building a invader obsidianizer.

[InsanityPrelude]

After losing my previous fort to basically everything attacking at once and the resulting tantrum spiral, I decided to gen a new world and start over- this time I'm going to find the magma *before* I start digging out the pump tower, for one thing.

Problem is, while normally in a new fort my FPS stays close to the cap of 200, here it immediately drops to 40 or so. I tried looking around with reveal to see if the magma sea was draining somewhere, but everything looks normal.

Tested it on some elf traders. It was... beautiful. They dropped right off the retractable bridge into the water, then watched in horror as the magma poured in on top of them. Now I get to wait for the magma to evaporate, then I can harvest the obsidian and do it all again, except with gobbos, titans, and everything in between. And more elves.

Bear in mind that retractable bridges won't retract for large enough creatures. Titans definitely qualify. You'll need a dodge-em trap for the big fellows.
