Taren Nishmorul, Miner, 3rd dead of the 7 founders. Dehydration, presumed overseer error.

The worst is when you take a break, but leave the game running with miners doing their thing.  I once had a rescued miner die of thirst right as she made it to the booze stockpile :(.

When the FB approached the troops, it did let off a bust of vapor, but apparently one of the soldiers blocked the entire thing, saving everybody from a potentially horrible death.

Nice! I once toyed with the idea of dual weapon-wielding dwarves, but shields are just too useful.

Relicshield, pop. 143, Late Autumn of 353 (Year 102)

A floor cover was ordered for the steps leading to one of the southeast dumpsites, but construction was delayed after noticing some clothes on the stairwell that was about to be blocked.  Urdim, patriarch of the Channeltrees, wasn't paying attention and ventured too close to the danger zone.  Luckily, he only suffered a broken arm.

Wasn't paying attention when I was leveling up an armorsmith.

I now have 882 copper shields.

Sheeeeiiiiiit.  -meltmeltmeltmelt-

Yeah, I only saw one dwarf who blocked the vapor, so I think he/she was on top of the FB and managed to block the entire thing.

Also, the problem with the waterskins apparently fixed itself.

Strip all of your soldiers of weapons and give them two shields instead.

No, just assign them each three copper shields and a weapon.

They'll be a tad slower but have 3x the block chance.

I don't know if you can make dwarves carry more than one shield in fort mode. Might be able to in the next release since we'll have proper dual-weidling there.

Relicshield, pop. 142, Mid-Winter of 353 (Year 102)

The dumpsite that led to Urdim Channeltree's broken arm was finally brought up to current safety codes, but not before one final accident.  Uvash Crescenttours, one of Relicshield's best frontline marksdwarves, was killed :(.

After five minutes of selecting every non-masterwork copper shield to be melted, the Shield Crisis is over.  So many copper shields ugh.  We have plentiful steel here in Temptaxe, no need for pitiful copper!

In other, much more exciting and fun news...

Grats!  May the dragon warm the hearts of your dwarves and burn all your enemies to cinders.

Hey man, not my fault that it came on the beginning of my 3rd year when I'm still relying on cage traps and decided to bumble into one before breathing a lick of fire at anything.   :P

Dragon-taming hoooooo!

Also finally got my military dwarves sorted out and steel arsenals made, with another 2000 iron getting ready to be reborn as dwarven steel.  Good times for Temptaxe!

Edit: A vile force of darkness arrives!  Say hello to my traps.

Heh, when I had my dwarves fighting a flying bristleworm FB, they killed it, but somehow one of the iron bolts that was stuck in it went through one of my lasherdwarves steel helm, killing him in the proccess. Since it was from above, I'm not sure how the heck that would have happened, plus steel helm. Though I guess it's easily imaginable as one of the bolts sticking out driving into the poor dwarfs skull with the weight of the falling FB behind it.

Ouch!  Ugh... I hate FBs.  Or maybe it's more accurate to say that I love to hate them, since I think they're damn cool and still manage to surprise me every now and then.

Relicshield, pop. 140, Early Spring of 354 (Year 103)

The population of the Mountainhome has been in a slow, but steady decline over the past few years.  To combat the trend, Mayor Regent Mosus II Lanterngaze-Anguishedpages has offered several benefits to courting and recently married dwarves, including paid leave from work and exemption from military service. 

The most eligible bachelor of the fortress is Edem IV Claspletter, the 22-year-old grandson of Relicshield's first dragon battlemaster, Edem II. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are four bachelorettes currently vying for his affections.



A holiday suite all to their own and plenty of time to socialize, bets are being taken all around the fort on who will win Edem IV's heart. With all four bachelorettes considered beauties, it's their traits that set them apart.

Endok, a 22-year-old traditionalist from an influential family, is a favorite among older bettors.  Still, Endok is far from stodgy and still enjoys trying new things.

Zon is another frontrunner with a fine pedigree.  Friendly and modest, the 23-year-old is nearly as popular as Endok.

Zan II is a calm and collected 24-year-old, who is rarely moved to anger and able to handle stress.  All admirable traits, though she comes across as a bit dull and aloof for most bettors.

Finally, there's Lolor III who often feels discouraged, has a lack of self-discipline, and doesn't go out of her way to help others.  Still, she's almost as assertive as Zan II.  This 26-year-old might prove to be the dark horse of this courting competition.

Verdant, you have crossed yet another line - brought DF yet one more shade closer to reality: it is now also a game show.

I demand nightly reports. Drama. Who said what! Which bachelorettes framed the others! Gossip! Bedroom rep--wait, I mean, spore reports! BABIES.
