the problem was they were hanging around my wagon and I still hadn't gotten everything off it. Oh well

Like many others, I'm currently performing haphazard and semi-reckless vampire science.

While scrolling through levels I happened to pass one of the bedroom floors and a little flash caught my eye. I noticed one of my new miners was flashing yellow and a recently immigrated mechanic was standing over him. Curious, as this was my first vampire, I watches as the flashing slowly increased in speed and went from yellow to red, as it would if he was bleeding out... which he was. Finally I created a burrow in the room and assigned a random dorf to it to see if they'd catch the vamp. Sadly they arrived about 2 seconds after the miner died. The miner was immediately carried to the corpse pile. Next season when I got around to building coffins, people suddenly announced he was found drained of blood. After a full season of people walking by the stockpile.

The guilty vampire, having managed not to be seen, is now happily residing in my jail, burrowed, behind a locked door along with the miner that just arrived claiming to be 43 and a former resident of 15 forts. I feel bad about the mechanic though. He arrived on the map as a woodcrafter and had a mood before he even reached the fort.. made a nice little table. He didn't gain the experience from the mood though.

Now I'm curious to see if the vamps will A: stay in their burrow, B: break down the locked door or maybe even C: try to feed on each other if they get hungry enough. Personally I'm hoping they will try to feed on each other. If not.. then they can have migrants. 70% of my migrant waves seem to be kids and over half of the adults are fishers. I have managed to safely tap my volcano easily without all the building doors or floodgates I've seen people talking about.  This fort shall be fun.

A woodcutter who likes to eat quarry bush leaves ate a roast composing of mussels and quarry bush leaves in a legendary dining room. This is no doubt the happiest moment of his life.

Except for the allergic reaction to the mussels causing him to explode in diarrhoea?

....I just watched my militia commander be grabbed by the toe by a Giant grasshopper corpse...and bodily FLUNG at a wall 6 tiles away, which he hit and blew apart. Whats even more ridiculous is that the grasshopper grabbed him with its wing!

Just had an announcement of a Maceman entering a martial trance 30 Z-Levels below ground. I don't have anybody down there

I had something like that happen to me once. Nobody could tell me what it was about. My guess is that there's an adventurer lost in the caverns.

Processed the migration wave. 



Best dwarf in the group, a Great Weapon/Armor/Metalsmith.  She's going to be spending the rest of her life down in the foundry.  Some minor combat levels, but she's not getting wasted on the army.  She arrived with her husband, who is getting drafted, since he also has some minor combat skills, and is otherwise just a Glazer, and their four youngest children.  The other children are adults and the oldest ones have some families of their own.  Some of them are warriors.  Three of them are dead, and the two oldest kids that arrived got in a scuffle with a cave dragon a few years back and survived.  It might be interesting to see if this family becomes one of the major pillars of my fort's community.

Few other notables, mostly farmers, rangers, and fishers.  There was a young niece of one of my immigrants who is a doctor, and there was a pretty good trader, who will replace the expedition leader as broker.  The dwarves who had some basic combat skills but no useful civilian skills will form the nucleus of our military force.  Three fishers were pressed into service as miners, and the rest were assigned jobs as needed through the fort.

I found out the king of my dwarven civ is a demon, and the humans sent a forgotten beast god diplomat. It was a huge crawling eye, and I should beware it's spittle.

The migrant wave became more ash-zombified, one dwarf and 75% of the pets.
Either that turkey poult is coated with ash, or they ran terrified into the corner with ash pile.
Or both

I may not let them in. My bunnyz nirvana will not be interrupted.

Fifth fb/titan arrived. This one set fire to one of my starting seven before getting a headshot while it was in melee with a marksdwarf who had depleted his quiver.

I decided to have some guys engrave the sheriff's room. Among the engravings are a giant killing a human and a roc killing an elf. This is great.

EDIT: Farmer got possessed and grabbed shale, reindeer calf antlers and some logs and made a toy boat.
