Went back to Hammerflickered in .34.11 since .40 is still unstable and unoptimized. Decided to load the seasonal backup save from spring before the fortress opened the pits to hell. There's still stuff I want to do, loot I want to make, soldiers to train, candy to smelt into armor, death traps to build, etc.
Made use of some of the adamantine to suit my militia commander, Sibrek Channelboats the Tin Confinement of Deeps, in full candy. Everything she's wearing is exceptional or better, so that's cool.
There were reports of reptilemen harassing haulers gathering adamantine, so the hammerdwarves were sent down to deal with it. Sibrek's currently down in the third cavern layer slaughtering reptile men by herself since all her squadmates are "resting".
She's gotten 45 kills so far, 28 notable. She's legendary in fighting, hammers, armor using, biting, striking, kicking, shields, and misc object user. She's green in a bunch of attributes, being basically unbreakable, absolutely inexhaustible, unbelievably strong and exceptionally agile, and has a stunning feel for spatial relationships, unbreakable focus, an astounding feel for the position of her own body, unbreakable willpower, great analytical abilities, great intuition, and an ability to read emotions fairly well. Her only negative is she has a little trouble with words. She's served in the military since the very founding of the fortress nine game years ago. She's the sole survivor of the great webbing in year 12, when the entire military was slain by a coral forgotten beast. She just happened to survive by sheer fluke of being webbed in a corner away from most action.
I'm so proud of her. ;-;7
