After having all of their skin and fat rot away and casts and splints applied to every part of their body, my militia dwarves are back on their feet and ready to fight again!

Looks like I spoke too soon...





This happened a little while after they got released from the hospital. They're both lying in their bedrooms, unable to move, with their shields and weapons at their feet.

My team of zero-skill peasants is now horribly maiming the Roc with their bare hands, in a surprising turn of events. The expedition leader managed to get an axe.


EDIT: pictures...

For the first time in my dorfing career, after over a year of dorfing...

Completely Numb - At least they aren't in any pain.


On a different topic, in my fort, the only unhappy dwarf is a baby, because it "has gone without a drink for far, far too long".

Holy crap. GET THIS KID A BEER!

Are you sure it's a baby and not a child? Because I'm pretty sure babies don't drink alcohol from a keg*.

I'm gonna go back and see if my baron-to-be has any preferences in vermin. This should fancy up his chambers nicely.
I am interested in description of this glass cage.

Making piles and piles of light-blue armour, axes, and spears and watching my created wealth skyrocket. Well over 8mil now, and still have more than 60 bars to turn into new products still.
Finally got updated to a barony.
A forgotten beast decided to swim in from the underground sea, but doesn't seem to be able to get out. nothing to worry about though, no toxic blood or anything jsut a big guy with eye stalks (something like  giant swimming slugman)
Finished digging out 250 bedrooms (I like to have extras, my popcap is at 200 but I've had fortresses go over by as much as an extra hundred before, so I try to over-shoot the bedroom space) each bedroom is 3x3 with a bed, chest or bag, and a cabinet, all walls are in the process ob being engraves (already smoothed). Got my cages set up for a quick purging of captured critters - I have about 20 cages with badgers, pandas, and a couple cavern creatures that I want to empty out, so im gonna have my military dwarves deal with them in a large brawl.
One of my strand extractors withdrew from society and claimed a leatherworks shop, so we'll see what she comes up with.

Dammit, my awkwardness after not playing for several months has cost my miner's life. While liberating some bitumous coal from the fell grip of the evil mountain, a 'tree' fell on his head killing him instantly.
It was some sort of eye-thing I think.

My first migrant wave was half children, don't they know this is mightmare country?
Had forgotten to forbid the carpenters from hauling stuff.  :-X duh.

Mama's "kegs" don't give a baby any booze, either. Usually by the time they grow into children, they "need alcohol to get through the working day, and can't even remember the last time they had some".

Started a new fortress, abundance of bitumonious coal and iron/copper/gold.
Food situation bad, I hope the crops grow in time. Otherwise, the dining room project is going well.  :D

Also, if you've got wooden furniture in the dining hall, you have some big issues anyways.
This is Dwarf Fortress, not the Fluffy Wambler Express.

Craftsbodice just broke 10mil created wealth, I sent so much out with the dwarves last autumn that they still haven't left, it's been half a season since their "leaving" message and they're all still in my Depot packing up the ~800k worth of trinkets I sent them with (most of it just offered, some traded for metal bars)

Got attacked by the swimming forgotten beast. Not really worth the effort, he was made of ash and died from a couple hits with an axe. Shortly after got a 3rd beastie, this one had a poisonous bite, otherwise nothing exceptional, died before it even scratched one of my dwarves though. A cyclops followed the dwarf caravan into town, this one actually disarmes one of my axedwarves, then ripped his left arm off (yes, OFF) and broke his right leg pretty badly, the doctors are still working on fixing him up, but I doubt he'll be fighting again, since his axe hand is missing.

Almost out of the spoilerite I mined out a while ago, it lasted for about 30 full sets of armour with spears and axes to go with them, some of it is low quality, but I got a few masterpieces scattered about in there (including a gorgeous masterpiece axe that I may claim on an adventurer when this fort finally dies out)

We're a county now, and our countess (use tp be baroness, before that mayor) has turned into a bit of a brat, she keeps asking for rose-gold items.. which we can't make because we no longer have rose gold.

The deforestation is going well, every single above ground tree that was around last year was cut down, currently doing a second pass to clear out the newer trees.

Building a nice entrance with a road, tall walls, etc. just to keep the masons busy. Should have the roads half-way done soon.

Edit: huh so that injured axedwarf is already up and training again, he even ditched the shield so he can use his axe with his other hand. I am pretty impressed, one arm, a leg in a cast with fresh stiches, and he's already willing to jump into the next fight.

Well, Whisperbolt is just turning into a fortress of firsts, here, isn't it? My first time reaching the magma sea, my first time uncovering the shiny stuff, and my first time recieving a *spoiler* diplomat!
