With the completed sealing of cavern layer two, cavern layer three has been opened. Sitting amidst the corpses of his fellows, and two dead forgotten beasts, is the Olm Man Spearmaster, Blockedportals. He joins the fortress.

Shortly after that, adamantine is spotted in one of the lakes in the cavern, which is also billowing steam... there must be magma nearby too.

Good thing we struck it, the baroness was going to mandate it sooner or later.

I had a slade mandate from the Barron.  Shortly after, construction began on a new room for the Barron, over the obsidian production facility.

Giant Capybara wounded our hunter's leg.
After the hunter got a crutch, he went and ate giant capybara meat, which he likes to eat.

Daaaammnnnn. Poor Craftsdorfs.

In other news everything that is not my forterss is on fire because those goddamn serpentmen come back every goddamn season and go chasing a goddamn donkey or something all over the map and set every single thing that is not the impenetrable fortress they're trying to lay siege to on fire. Stop setting everything on fire, it isn't working. The same thing happens every time, the salamander (who breathes and is immune to fire) decides that instead of just stabbing the donkey he's going to set it on fire. Then the donkey not wanting to be on fire runs all over the map and the salamander just sprays fire everywhere burning his teammates (who are not fireproof) to death breaking they're own siege and murdering my FPS. FUCK YOU SALAMANDER STOP SETTING EVERYTHING ON FIRE!

hahaha thats brilliant - wish i could figure out how to set things on fire

[MonkeyHead]

I have succesfully produced baby giant eagles. Giant war eagles for all!

Oh, and I also have a pair of giant capybara producing babes in the manner that only rodents know how. Giant capybara bomb FTW!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

That fort had a large capybara barbecue.

just creating a new pocket sized map. three quarters of the map is filled with 'the hills of dread', and they are a neat red colour, while the only decent looking area is named 'the hills of boring'

I dubbed my legendary metalsmith/furnace operator/weaponsmith Cog Brass-God for his service to Strong Towers. He's smelted over 1000 bars of brass which have made 99% of the fortresses furniture and is personally responsible for the armament of the militia. I've granted him a room made of solid brass, a brass bed, and brass furniture. The king arrived and declared Strongtowers the Mountainhome just in time to watch us convert a scavenger siege, a snakeman siege, and a handful of war raptors into a homogenous salsa with a heavily trapped walkway defended by archers. The ones that tried to get off the bridge fell 44 z's into the open mouth of a volcano. In other news my countess made concurrent demands for items made of sun gold (which the fortress doesn't have) and rings (which the fortress can't control). On an unrelated note a caged prisoner somehow uncaged itself, dug a hole in the floor of the original 7 manager's office and horribly murdered her. Directly before her fluids were sprayed over every surface of her bedroom a clerical error stripped her of her tomb so her body will instead be thrown in the garbage where it will decompose until trash day when it's thrown into the volcano with the rest of the waste material. Funny how things happen.

Edit: I forgot that I had several coffins open, she was given a proper burial... sort of. See apparently the Beastman knocked out one of her teeth and the Dorfs decided in their Dorfy logic that just burying the tooth would be fine. One of her teeth sits in a masterwork brass sarcophagus and her body sits in the garbage dump.

A friendly human lasher is hanging around just outside my fort, and I am pretty sure she didn't come with the traders.
Currently waiting until a siege appears so I can see if she attacks them or not.

[Vehudur]

I had a vile force of Goblin Christmas arrive.

[rephikul]

I really like my fort's name.

My grandiose plans to include an automated magma-spewing security system were dropped like a hot potato when I realised that, with some improvisation and creative engineering, my entire entrance corridor could be easily transformed into a massive, inescapable drowning trap.

Completely unrelatedly, every nonessential area in my fortress is a waterlogged mess and I've had to clear obsidian out of my magma forges twice.
