Ingish Asenzanos has created Kasithtomus, an aluminium breastplate!

Not sure how good that actually *is*...

As protection, it's terrible. But if you give it yo a dwarf who likes dressing up, he'll enjoy it immensely.

[Koremu]

I figured that was probably the cose.

Ofc, it was a possession *sigh*

A Giant Cave Spider showed up and found some fisherdwarf who was collecting webs

The Fisherdwarf died; but the first I knew of this was when I saw an 'S' on the map. A dead 'S'.

A Fisherdwarf battled a Giant Cave Spider to death with it's bare hands; punching through to it's brain with it's last breath. Admittedly it looks like there were a couple of pals helping; but it was clearly the fisherdwarf who killed it; since this is the spider's log.

Remember when I was trying to trap elves into an arena pit, and they would just avoid the great trap by climbing along the sidewall?

Well, after a few improvements to the trap, my dreams have finally been realised:

Hahahaha! The elves stood no chance!

The animals were more lucky however, and fled with great haste when the drawbridges were opened. But with the military waiting in ambush, it was to no use:

Or as the saying goes: It was inevitable. Tehehehehehee!!!!

That is terrifyingly Dwarven my friend, how efficient is it? Also any chance that some elves could survive, increasing the number of werebeasts available?

The werebeast strikes fast and ruthlessly, elves perish in mere seconds! Without the aid of scientific preparations, the werebeast is too strong for the elves to make werebeasts out of them. Only the animals are able to endure quite a number of attacks from the beast, but they can't transform into werebeasts themselves, can they?

An engraver is, "exasperated when caught in the rain", "annoyed when choking on dust underground", and, "confused after being knocked out in a cave-in."

Was the confusion from the concussion or his weakening grasp of reality?

[Koremu]

The Baron just got killed by a werebear. He bravely took one for the team when it showed up while he was outside.

Not even an "Unfortunate Acident". A real genuine accident. He was ok - he just used to mandate production of Gauntlets.

[Loud Whispers]

Conventional wisdom would suggest no. Really, it isn't any more ridiculous for a guinea pig to transform into an elephant than for a dwarf to transform into an elephant.


And in my Fort, there are days where everything goes well, then there are days when a hairy crocodile that breaths fire emerges from the depths to burn dwarves. RIP C. Dishmab, you put up one hell of a fight, when you really should've aimed for a quick flight. Still, Dishmab did manage to wound its lungs with a bolt before perishing to the magma. A good Dwarf was lost, and it took her horrifically long to succumb to her burn wounds. To add salt to the wounds, a masterwork flask made by the long dead Urdim was also lost to the magma sea. And I can't even bury Dishmab, or even slab Dishmab, no one else knows she even died.

This is the end of Helmarmors, a mining town.

I decided to ignore walls and doors and the dorfs paid the price.

Riddledfences recently endured its first siege: ten goblins with various weapons. Our four strongest military dwarves tore through them like butter with only one minor wound.

Unfortunately, it seems like most of my dwarves are complete and total pansies when it comes to seeing dead sentient creatures. They keep breaking down while trying to retrieve the dead goblins' gear. Even the four dwarves who did the deed are totally horrified.

To cap it off, one of my recent recruits, who still has a child with her, is depressed because I made her stand out in the rain to guard the depot from Giant Keas. (Armok damn them to the abyss.) How long do dwarves continue to remain depressed as of 0.40? What can I do to help? I already took her squad off of training... she keeps going to the mayor (my legendary speardwarf) to complain.

My first fort in a while, Steamplains, turns out to be built in a world with extinct goblins, and at peace with everything else but some kobolds.  I'm still early on, and not large enough to attract megabeasts yet, so I figured I had all the time in the world to set up defenses against anything but a few random animals. 

My defense entirely consists of a few marksdwarves in leather and some war dogs.  I had a quicky archery tower set up near my main entrance, and my main entrance has a few stonefalls and cage traps set up. 

My "serious defenses" consist of walls with passages with cage traps in them, more aimed at capturing some of the savage wildlife than fighting off sieges that aren't likely coming, but since I figure I have time, I have only covered half my map with these.  After all, my main threat will be titans, and I've really got to focus on getting my magma forges and metal industry running, plus capturing some GCS before I really worry about things like those.  I'm only at 40 dwarves. 

In fact, I partially tore down my marksdwarf tower to rebuild it all in stone, rather than its initial wood. 

Spoiler: and then... (click to show/hide)

Suddenly, weresheep!

... I forgot about the weresheep. 

Knowing my valuable marksdwarves would be sitting ducks without a sealed tower (I'd actually just deconstructed its base, exposing the stairwell up...), I couldn't well send them out.  I sounded the alarm to pull my dwarves in. 

With nothing between my dwarves and harm but my valiant actually quite stupid wardogs, my dwarves ran into the indoor burrows. 

The dogs faced down the weresheep charge stared blankly at the charging weresheep and were promptly eaten alive.  They didn't even move at all.  The weresheep just sat there tearing them limb from limb, and occasionally eating an eyeball straight from their socket. 



The last in was the mother of my first fortress birth and her baby.  The third dog had been slain just before this image.  The weresheep is sitting on its corpse, probably sucking out the other eyeball.  I was lucky that it charged a dog down the hill, where it wouldn't immediately see my other dwarves.

She ran in and slammed the door behind her, locking it just before the weresheep could start pounding upon it. 

My solid valiant doors were capable of delaying the beast long enough to force it to revert back to an obese human peasant.

Thinking all was safe, I prepared to let everything return to normal...

Spoiler: and then... and THEN! (click to show/hide)

I saved the game... and it crashed during saving, probably because of DFHack...

A stoneworker who had a pet bunny adopted a black bear recently.

Well, with Earthdwellings, got a bunch of migrants (two more peasants being made into miners!), and am starting to plan out how I'm going to get the wonderfully lightweight, yet deadly metal near the magma sea.  (Let's just say my figurative "testing stick" is an engraver and leave it at that.)

Also, the elves arrived, and supplied me with some giant animals, namely a giant dingo, a breeding pair of giant flying squirrels, and a female giant sparrow.  (If only I could name stray animals...)
