Due to a rampaging cavern beast, Chaoscastles will have to wait till I find a solution while I work on a new fort. This one also has chalk, magnetite, etc. I feel lucky for the first time in ages. Our group is the Stability of Stabbing, the Fortress' fine name is Murderwards. Wonderful.

Setting up the dormitories for my dwarves. I like to pre-plan, so when it's finished, it'll hold a maximum of 80 dwarfs, so i don't have to expand too much in the future.

I think i may have found a problem. A captain of the guard with a bronze battle axe may not be ideal

[Theifofdreams]

I'm not sure what you're talking about. That's just plain old perfect.

An ambush has meant that the humans won't be trading this season. Pansies.

Nearly everyone in the fort has come down with varying levels of the beast sickness, which sadly seems to be manifesting in extremely slow creeping paralysis. Some dwarves seem to just be paralysed in their feet alone, but other dwarves seem to have it slowly spread up their body. No one has died yet.

The ambush meant we didn't get to trade, but oh well, I'll save the extra crafts for when the dwarven caravan arrives. We're smelting platinum bars to make a road with: we need the 2000dorfbux of roads to become the capital and we're sitting at 952.

A recruit was seriously injured during the battle with the lashers, multiple fractures and a torn kidney. He's going to be alright though.
Most everyone has been diagnosed, cleaned and are up and working again...

Just another day in Zalisiden.

Bronze is excellent for bladed weapons, third only to steel and *spoilers*.

Goblin thief was spotted by a hammerdwarf, who decided against using their hammer and give the goblin a good biting instead. The goblins attack on the hammerdwarfs right back tooth was deflected by its leather cape, i guess that suggests they stuff it in their mouths

I like to think the cape/cloak whips around due to wind/quick movement and gets in the way.

The forgotten beast Unzo Basza Utesh has come! A huge feathered leech. It has a knobby shell and it squirms and fidgets. Its puce feathers are long and sparse. Beware its deadly blood.

Oh, and it is indeed deadly. Zaneg fought it alone, while a recruit stood and watched. Zaneg's alright, but some of the blood splashed on her hand. She's not got necrosis in her remaining foot, advanced rot of the stomach, and rotting left hand. poor Zaneg. First she loses a leg, then gets paralysed by Beast Sickness, then rots from within from another Beast Sickness.

"I threw me cape over me head for protection, and then I gave that green-skin a good bitin'"

I finally started using magma from the volcanos.
A big step forward for the future of my dwarven fortresses.

Apparently this one is quite a huge one. 50 floors, almost reaching the Dwarven Valhalla.
Its a bit too high, so I decided to open it at the level, that Im using it and let the whole magma go away... Somewhere.
Everything seems fine for now.
Im just hoping that by doing this, Im not going to destroy much of the region where the magma is flowing :O

Oh, and when the magma will finally end, I'll crumble the whole thing to the ground most probably sacrificing in the process a miner.
I wonder how it will all turn out

Yes, but not for the guy punishing people who break mandates

"Look that lovely frozen waterfall!'
''Oh! Armok has blessed us!"
''Let's stop our wagon there, right under it!"
''Great idea Urist!''

I'm building an ice-melter to obtain a water supply for my projects, such as the obsidian-maker.   I've just started the magma flow, and I'm waiting for the magma to reach the ice deposit.   I haven't yet finished the pump stack and power system to bring it to the fortress - we're on a very, um, vertical site.   But it will take forever for the canal to fill anyway, so I'll let it start filling while I finish the stack.

(I actually already have an ice-melter, but I didn't think it's placement through and it's 20 z-levels below the one I'm building now.   The power requirements to schlep water up to the fortress will be bad enough with the new setup.   But the old one at least let me muddy ground for a farm.)

Zaneg has crept up to 23 notable kills. She's probably the only dwarf I've ever had that rivaled Iteb Taperedpages the Soaked Bowl of Paint. Thob got a title: Thob Delightcrystals the Mournful Tragedy of Tours.

Zaneg's suffering massive injuries and yet is still a force to be reckoned with. Her injuries:

No right hand
No left leg
Advanced rot in stomach
Advanced rot in pancreas
Minor rot in left hand
Advanced rot in left foot (rotten tissue excised)
Cut open head
Various paralysed fingers, toes, etc...
Paralysed left foot.

And yet she still is a force to be reckoned with. Iteb took no injuries besides bruising by the time he fled, but Zaneg is fighting on despite serious injury.
