Some sand trolls came by to trade. For whatever reason they had around 10 copies of the same book.
I like the "cover" with the amethyst man on it, though I don't think it relates to the subject of the book itself.
Similarly, the two-humans trading with me seem to only have copies of the same 3 books.
I'm guessing these are the in-universe equivalents of Seinfeld. They're the books about nothing.
EDIT: Damn, a forgotten beast showed up.
So Ice Man over here died fairly easily...the problem wasn't his own combat ability, since, well, he was made of ice, but rather the vapor he exhaled, which managed to kill off 4 of my n'raqi.
From what I could tell before they died, the vapor's syndrome had some pretty horrific effects - blistering, blindness (though it could have been caused by the eyes getting blistered as well) and heavy bleeding - one of those afflicted even started rotting and generating miasma right away. It really only took a few seconds for all of them to bleed out. Big shame, but aside from my legendary bone carver (the one who made those turkey bone greaves) noone of any real value was lost.
What I don't get though, is how my n'raqi got to the part of the cavern with Sub-Zero, considering I don't have direct access to it except by a lake and I'm fairly sure I didn't give them innate swimming skills. Gotta dig out the one soldier who is still alive and seemingly unaffected by the vapor - he's killing some ghouls right now - shouldn't be a problem since they're much smaller in terms of size and also unarmed. Gives me an excuse to fortify the cavern layer, though.
Also some dwarf merchants came, finally.
Bought even more books from them
One caught my eye, though.
Looks like they're trying to subvert my glorious n'raqi culture and make everyone lazy and dependant on social benefits. Not gonna work since the faceless ones are pretty much a hivemind and follow the simple rule of "you don't work, then you don't eat".
As a response and a warning, I sold them this statue.
I wonder what the reactions at the Mountainhomes would be to the merchants bringing this statue in.
"Hey Urist, is that a statue of uhh, a dwarf being impaled on a meat hook by some squid-men? Why the hell would you buy that?!"
"Well...umm...at the time it looked really pretty. B-but Lokum, would you look at how shiny the gold it's made out of is? Must be some really precious, rare variant..."
"...We're gonna talk again later, Urist."
As a side note, the previous adherent climbed up on a tree and dehydrated - couldn't cut the tree down in time (it was a cluster of 4 or so trees as well - he literally moved to the branches of another tree right as the other one was about to be cut down).
