Just got my first artifact... a fox bone chain, named Nerridenshal Thestaramkolnunur, "Groundbudded the Crimson Counsellor-Crevices".

I think I need to hide it from the children.

Year 3 of my fort, in the year 105, after the fort in a similar area that died to demons hasn't been too eventful so far.
Four baby snatchers tried to get in and were promptly axed to death, leaving blood and corpses all over the entrance. No want or need to clean it up. Human caravan and a fallen angelical caravan both came by. Waiting for them to get to the depot so I can give them spiked iron balls for all their metal and wood.

Why would you hide it? Use it in the prison to make sure those lawbreakers are extra happy!

I was bored in my recent fort, and so decided to dig for adamantine. Soon my fortress got destroyed by the circus and also the surrounding area-except for two dwarves in prison, one a vampire and one insane, both convicted for murder. The door to the prison was destroyed, but for some reason they are both fine, and in fact they're becoming good friends (well, the vampire is fine and the other guy is about to die)! Why is it that the whole place is getting ransacked but they're left alone?

I swear those war dogs will be the death of me. In the continuing saga of my fortress coming unhinged thanks to pets and goblin psychological warfare another chapter has been written.

Picking up where I left off, I find my formerly awesome broker and member of the original 7, going absolutely berserk thanks to the loss of a couple of his beloved war dogs at the hands of cunning goblins. Now completely stark raving mad, his one surviving pet war dog turns on him and starts tearing the poor bastard apart. The mauling goes on for pages until finally one of my military dwarves shows up and puts a merciful end to it all.

Well, played goblins and dogs. Well played.

Apparently, the goblins managed to dispatch a great many suicidal war dogs during their last incursion. As my dwarves clean up the heaps of dead goblins they keep uncovering dead canines as well and each time they do so another of my elite dwarves moves closer to going over the edge. I rue the day I had the "bright" idea of assigning multiple war dogs to each of my VIP dwarves as body guards.

Started a fort an hour ago. Going to see how three sleepless days and nights and no coffee affects just how sane I am whilst playing dwarf fortress. Already, I've embarked upon an evil glacier with low supplies. A normal embark, of course. Lost both my woodcutters when I opened the caverns for some early wood, the  three miners are fighting off the troll who killed the useless woodcutters,the "surgeon" is outside freezing to death because there's zombies chasing him around the map, and the one actual military trained dwarf is sleeping. Oop, miners finally killed the troll. First thing on the agenda, acquire enough microcline to build a giant coffee mug.Because SCREW YOU, PLAYING LIKE A NORMAL (well, relatively normal for Bay12) PERSON, I DO WHAT I WANT.

Currently successfully pulling off the Planepacked glitch, but with adamantine wafers, bones, leather, and rock.

Aaaaaaaand puzzlebox.

Well, my vampire problem was solved. A horde of goblins appeared with a fleet of jabberers and killed all 170 dwarves. I watched aghast as the dwarves completely ignored my order to pull the one lever needed to seal off the fortress and send the invaders through the halls of doom. Apparently the dwarf who was "actively" working on pulling the lever was the entire length of the map away, because everyone else just strolled on by it.

Loaded up another fortress, also on the edge of some haunted woods. This time I am designing the front entrance with a bit more militaristic planning right from the start, and a much longer run from the gate mouth to the inner halls, as well as multiple gates in case of late lever pulls.

Already lost the main fighting dwarf from embark to a giant panda corpse. Ahh, well, he shall serve the fort in death in the zombie pit, so its not a total loss.

Village: Urdornar, the Black Oblivion
50 dwarves

I don't know who the fuck this "Nish Feedworks" thinks he is, but I tell him, I'M the mayor around these parts!
Mayor EightTimesNine... Nah, I'll stick with Overseer as my title. But I still assume the position of mayor!

One of my dwarves, Unib Satinblots, went berserk from unhappiness. He had to be put down. I wasn't ready to go into battle myself, and Sodol would only stay by my side, so ten randoms went in and beat the shit out of him. I've ordered the construction of a dining hall to quiet the masses honour his memory quiet the masses.

Another artifact was created. Nothing much, just a cedar puzzlebox.

Work has begun on the second floor of the above-ground portion of the fortress, which will become the main dining hall when I'm done with it. Probably.
Sodol certainly seems to enjoy flitting about the construction sites. Maybe I could teach her to shatter stone instead of bone with her screeches...

Last fort's dead, new one. This time, savage forest, so I have more of a chance to build the monument to the great god Coffee. Name's Sweetbelle, of the Stupid Fabric. Nothing happened in spring. Spring is always rubbish in the boring lands. Summer, however, brought structural integrity failure and rapid unplanned disassembly; namely, I fucked up and forgot that stone can't float in the air. RIP, Urist, Ur-ist, U-rist, Uri-st, and Bob. Ye' shall nae' be missed. KEEP BUILDING, SLAVES!

The name sounds very quite lot of obscene 

On it is the image of two swamp titans... it doesn't say doing what, but, well, the name.  You know.

due to an incompetent melt command, one of my lower tiered armorsmiths became incredibly upset over the loss of his copper shield.

a forgotten beast managed to infiltrate my defenses through the bottom and is chewing on an artifact diorite table. luckily I designed that area as a chokepoint for demon invasions, with fortifcations to the right. it will be dead once my marksdwarves get into position.

After some work, a pipe between the cistern at the dorm floor and the hospital/public district has been dug, and the floodgate from the cistern opened. Soon, the fortress will have a safe, new source of fresh water...

... That is, of course, if I managed to handle the pressure properly. Its been a while since I last played DF, but hopefully I still remember the way to decrease pressure in water. If not, I'll soon find out. If something does happen, I'll hold Meng Testtreaty the Doctor Dwarf responsible, since he pulled the lever.

Also, dwarves keep turning up dead, drained of blood, so obviously there's a vampire on the loose. But at the same time, it does take care of the population problem. Oh, and it doesn't seem to be affecting the population adversely. Yet.

EDIT: Surprise! Pressure caused water to shoot up into the hospital. Meng, wisely understanding it was his own fault, decided to sit down in his office, flooded with water, and stare blankly at the wall as he waited for the water to drain.

one of my spearmasters just lost a foot. Idk what happened and I don't see a combat report about it.

EDIT: nvm. it was a mace lord who lost his foot a year ago. turns out his heart's not working.

EDIT 2: The not fatal heart condition has spread to one of my spiders. turns out it was a FB beast extract, which is weird since I found it on the surface.
