Grey langurs show up, everyone goes crazy attacking them. Someone falls in the lake and drowns.

...I, what? That's like the reverse of how the nobles screens listed my Queen as a King, huh.

^That is why I put walls with only a couple of fortifications around my open-air lava pool/reservoir at the top end of my FTW stacks:

Sure, it doesn't NEED to be there--or extend three levels down into the fort--as it just acts like a floor for the lava to cross, but dammit it's cool as hell) because I knew if I left an easy way to do so, dorfs would happily fall in.

Well, trapped an elephant, a guy went to go collect the elephant, not too sure how he could, when a hunter popped by, shot another elephant. All five other elephants go after the hunter. Siege pops up right beside hunter. Now five elephants are rampaging through forty goblins. And war training will make them stronger, make it so they can harness that hate even more upon my enemies...

Lucky bastard, I'm on a part wilderness/part serene/part terrifying embark and all I keep getting are mountain goat corpses and eagle corpses running around. Elephant corpses would be hilarious.

Legendary miner from the Starting 7 just claimed the position of king. Well, if anyone's deserving of the title, it's the dwarf who carved the fortress out by his own hands and pick. And hey, he's pretty reasonable, as far as nobles go. Always mandates coffins.

They're not actually mandates, he's just making helpful suggestions and calling them mandates to keep up appearances.

Well, just got a legendary weapon smith. Bastard made a steel spear out of my one steel bar. Ohwell. Now he's pumping out iron exceptional and masterwork short swords, spears, and axes.

Why would you complain about an artifact steel spear? You could send out one dwarf wielding it and he would solo every megabeast that came along.

Well, it was my only one. Flux stone-less embark, was hoping the guy who likes steel and long swords would get a mood and go with it. Spears are cool too I guess.

Ugh... Third legendary gem setter. Came up with a new plan: once I hit adamantine, I'll take 10-12, atom smash them, then dfhack in 10-12 adamantine gems.

The dead walk. Hide while you still can!

Woo! Free necromancers huza!.  Just wait for one to try to sneak in, trap it and presto: instant infinite training.  Now to send out the marksdwarves to clean things up outside.  Wait, the zmobie horde has equipment?  ok, we can deal with this, I just wish I had set up the hospital, but that can be easily remidi- wait what are you idiots doing?!  Why in the name of all that is sock related would you jump down from your nice vantage point to attack the undead?  You have yet to fire a shot you can't be out of ammo.  ah...well a few deaths shouldn't send everyone into a tantrum spiral just yet.  And the rest of you are doing goo- Ah, so enemies can climb walls now.  This is a thing apparently.  Should probably go back and read those release notes before jumping into a new version.  And now every military dwarf is dead, having taken out at most 5-6 zmobies out of the 30 odd that are on the map so far.  Joy.

Well, temporal flux engines engage!  Lets try to not kill everyone this time ya?

Mobquakes sees its first siege. The undead have come.
Good thing my military is prepared exactly for this, with silver maces.

Got my very first forgotten beast today, a werepanda.  He was super fast, but immediately my dwarves went after him and unloaded iron bolts into him.  He lasted just a few seconds.  I haven't even had time to train anyone yet!

A black bear came by. He saw the dwarves, panicked, and ran. Right into the animal pasture. He panicked at that, ran from that, but a dog in the pasture chased him and started scratching him up until the bear was chased back into the animal pen. Where dwarves were still busy re-pasturing all the animals.

Those dwarves started punching the bear as he just sat there, too exhausted to fight back. I had to order the axe squad to execute the bear.
