Seems I have a necromancer visiting my fort. And appearently he took up gardening as a side hobby, cause he's a " Human Necromancer Farmer"

Pikesquad is now at full alert, as 'bold are now starting to crop up and annoy me, and three of my dogs have been killed as a result of his shenanigans. Man I wish the caravan had brought an anvil so I could outfit my mace and hammer squads.

Hmm, Iden Workblot the trader appeared together with some migrants. Only, he's not moving. He's listed as 'other', has no skills, and his personal info show the same as one'd except from a caravan-trader. But he has no caravan. And it's Summer.

Outside evil areas yeah. Because this fucking gardener-mancer human keeps revivng the same 5 dead animals.

edit: He is still being a pain in my ass and keeps delyaing the construction of defenses.

Turns out with the new ramps on rivers, waterfalls become a deadly trap for any dwarf. They try to walk over the river on the high end, slip. and die.  :o

A group of undead peregrine falcon people are doing their best to try to kill a giant sponge that's hanging out in the river. They are not succeeding.

This time, I embarked on the border between a savage forest and a haunted savanna, so hopefully it'll be more survivable but still interesting.

E: "Giant sponge is no longer enraged." All 8 of the peregrine falcon zombies are pecking at it, now.

Oh my gosh this is hilariously fun.

So after a goblin siege shows up, murders half my fort by just walking straight past my militia (seriously, guys?), and the vampire is still at large despite my best efforts, I decide to purge the fortress with magma as a last desperate attempt to stop the reign of terror.

Unfortunately, checking in Legends mode, I fear I've instead unleashed a greater nightmare into the world...

Apparently the real vampire fooled everyone into believing that he was just a regular guy, but he met his match - in a killer turkey.

Channeledtails the Crystalline Cage of Stockades, born (hatched?) in 124 to unknown (presumably turkey) parents, accompanied the first dwarven caravan under the guise of a harmless turkey. However, this feathered terror was responsible for single-wingedly killing 15 dwarves, according to Legends mode, amongst them the vampire who had been terrorizing my fort.

I wonder if by pecking at the vampire, Channeledtails would become a vampire turkey?


On a more serious note... is this perhaps a bug attributing kills to the last object to interact with them, since most of my dwarves bled to death due to being melted by vampire-cleansing magma? Or is there genuinely a legendary killer turkey on the loose?

Someone ought to warn the local population that they shouldn't trust any feathered creatures, as they may be deadly arch-fiends.

Huh. from what I heard it's a matter of time before something reanimates in any evil area.

Not so, in an evil area that generates zombies all of your creatures will be zombies and when anything dies it rises very rapidly. Many evil areas were zombie-free in .25 as well.

If they are limited to digging in soil it might be OK.
