[Hatch Cover]

I have a vampire for the first time. Three dwarves dead. I have tried several different methods to find him. Whoever he is, does not have any jewerly. I can't keep profession naming dwarves, I have too many. I am trying to remember if vampires get hungry or thirsty. I know they can not drown. If I can't find it on the forum, I'll look through the raws. I locked everyone in a room and figured it would sort things out. Maybe not a good idea. We shall see.

So, I have a corpse problem. The first corpse I have keeps coming back to life. How do I deal with it?

[Vehudur]

Nuke it from orbit with magma?

18 pages of this... that kitteh was lucky? Naeh, he seems to have bled to death.

I embarked a short distance away from a dark tower. Apparently, doing that causes many sieges in very rapid succession. I tore apart one siege with 9 soldiers armed with wooden crossbows and wooden bolts just to have another one, three times as large, show up a month later.

I embarked in an haunted area, trying to see how much actually bad it was.
The dwarf expedition was met with dwarf blood raining regularly.

Immediate work was done to secure a place from the surrounding locations, as there were some rather ugly owl corpses flying around, hinting at nothing good at all going to come soon.

Mined stone to start walling, while killing 2 or 3 time each owl corpses that raised again, until they were so destroyed they stayed dead.

Unfortunately, they came way before the construction was achieved.
3 elephant corpses moving together with the obvious destination being the zone the dwarves were working on.

The 7 dwarves equipped the axes they had in stock (i took several in previson of bad things in that haunted zone) and faced the rushing corpses elephant.

Battle occured when the 3 undead monsters reached the camp, +/- 10 seconds later 7 dwarves dead.

Looks like the undead version is as dangerous as the living one is, and getting those that early wasn't really something lucky.

Everyone went to move all the food and ale I traded for when a gloom mist turned three hammer lords (from the traders), that were fighting a gloom thrall camel.  They then went straight to caravan and all my dwarfs, except the children inside the fort, scattered off and ran into the mist.

A titan made out of vomit punched a landmine which led to him losing his wings, all of his himbs, his antennae and separated his lower and upper body.

It started raining human blood. Apparently my dwarves enjoyed the bath.

The bath is because dwarves obsessively wash themselves when they're exposed to freakish rain.

I noticed that myself.

All my soldiers are giving birth right now. In other news, I've stopped producing shields for the military.

[Splint]

Had two pikedwarves, thier 4 dogs, and the dogs' puppies all chasing a giant slug around. How the fuck it out ran them for two weeks I'll never know.

Wht red-blooded dorf doesn't enjoy a good bloodbath?

But yeah, they seem determined to wash the blood/muck/ooze/<insert abnormal rain type here> off immediately.
Unfortunately, this tends to lead to a lot of dorfs complaining about "being forced to drink slime", if your only water source is murky pools... (The dorfs wash the contaminants off into the same pool they drink from.)

I've retired my old 31.25 fort, Fortressdeath.  I put it up on the map archive, and I'm going to save the files for posterity/whatever.

Meanwhile, my 34.02 fort has just entered it's second year.
