Thus which is why I emerged alive from the encounter with the FB, with an axe in each hand, blood over my face and a wicked smile.

'I will kill all elves. Armok must be appeased.'

Spring arrives.
Under siege for about a year now. don't have the number of soldiers to properly deal with it. I have a total of 9 military, three of them guarding the caverns, while six protect the fort from above ground.

The various different things attacking me aren't killing each other - I wonder if this was a change in Genesis, or just something wrong with my old version of it (I haven't updated it in a while..) - it generally makes things less fun and chaotic. When this fort falls I will switch it up and see what's rocking.

Anyway, in the meantime a couple of Borioth died of thirst, despite a plethora of drink, and a huge reservoir with two wells available.
And one of my military has grown attached to her Black Steel Warhammer. Funny, because she has absolutely no experience. Oh well, things roll on.

Aye - Ye are a Slave, and a Killer.
Ye arent any Dwarf, and You ought not Live amongst Dorfs, but ye can kill Elfs.

Dirgefurnace has come to its end.

The 5 remaining survivors of a frost giant siege, 3 kobolds, one dwarf and a human put up a valiant fight in the town square against an escaped pair of FBs. They were wittled down to one kobold, who, with his dying breath, killed one FB by shooting a perfectly aimed arrow straight into the eye and piercing the brain, and severely wounding the other by cutting his throat open.
When I reclaim, those 5 brave souls will be:
A. Returned to life via Runesmith/Dfusion so they can serve me as undead FB eliminators
B. A tomb built over their final battle and the memorial built for all lands to see.

I wouldnt Reclaim it at all. Id let it end at that. But, a bunch of Zombie Killing Machines does sound amusing :)

Highly experienced unkillable soldiers who have taken down two FBs. Combined with candy gear, I think we have a winner.

I am not a dweeb. I am a unique breed.

Would You be able to put up a zoomed out shot? Because Im just curious to see how this currently weird looking Channel Wall fits into the Scheme of things :D It all looks a bit unusual from here.

The Lever is even more confounding.
And the Storage seems to be for Corpses :)
I intend to eventually mine out the whole area and replace the grass with constructed floors. I do not want to rebuild the wall to replace the grass under, so I channel it out first to save time later. The level is to control the atom smasher right north of it. And yes the stockpile is for the fallen dwarven warriors. I'm looking forward to have more bodies then living people in 2 year or so. Currently it's the second winter.

As far as the large scheme of thing involved, the wall you were looking at is the green one in this schema:

Q: How many dwarven lives was sacrified to build this magma tank? The first person who answer correctly will have a dwarf named after.
