so....some slight issues with capturing the FB.
It has fought off trogs, a GCS (*cries*), Giant Toads, and more. It has also killed off our Stonecrafter/Detailer/Mason. Because he was going for something for some stupid reason. He is NOT going for the puppies, for some reason.
PLLUS it insists on hanging out in a 10x10 area of the map, that is heavily walled, and not moving further from the edge of the map than that.
A network of sacrificial puppies (that has been pre-raided by a Giant Toad >.< ) on ropes has not succeeded in luring the Forgotten Beast away to its new, !!funner!! home.
Next up: A trail of levers, tables, and doors to lure him into the cage (a passageway with two raising bridges), to be stored there until a proper cage can be built out of Masterwork windows on the one side--shit, no, can't do that. Unless it can't reach them because of a gap?
anyway, a cage for the FB zoo I'm setting up. Also titan/(semi-)Megabeast zoo.
a disposable dwarf (#21/2 or so out of the 21/2 adult dwarves (4 kids, and 1 human monster hunter)) has been using a disposable pick to slowly clear walls so the FB can see the snacks puppies hor derves hor dervishes we have prepared for him.
.....has anyone else gotten AMAZING frame rates this time around? I'm consistently at ~49-50 FPS, 2x2 embark, small (or whatever is one step above pocket) world, 10 civilizations, year 2. lots of pets roaming around, lots of corpses.....
huh.
NOT complaining.
EDIT: it chased some Dralthas, and now it's hanging out in front of the doorway after slaughtering a puppy......EIGHT BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE.
with 2-3 puppies in view, and 1-3 levers (1 puppy outside, the rest inside the cage)
Time to sacrifice a dwarf. I am assigning a new puppy to be put onto the rope it's hanging out next to.
it better not be one of the parents.
.....am I also the only one who has been having more kids this time around?
BAHAHAHAHAHA.
FORGOTTEN BEAST ACQUIRED!
The Forgotten Beast Otira Apa Lini (The Paddle of Cats) has been captured. A gigantic fantail with external ribs. It has three narrow tails and it has a bloated body. Its dark blue feathers are patchy. Beware its webs! Also buy our merchandise! We've got Paddle of Cats plushies, Paddle of Cats ice cream.....
we're working on a web-powered Paddle of Cats flamethrower (for the kids), but we need a fire breathing forgotten beast for that.
Medical Report:
It left upper leg is cut open. Its left upper leg is bruised. Its left lower leg is cut open. Its neck is cut open. Its head is cut open. Its head is dented. Its right wing is dented. Its lower body is dented.
Medical Report, Supplemental: If it dies because of an infection I am going to be PISSED. webbing FB that is also the first of our Mega-Zoo DYING on us?
Work is beginning to build exploratory sacrifical shafts to all areas of the caverns so hopefully the next one won't be quite as damaged.
Elves have brought a breeding pair of Giant Wild Boars.
woo. Hopefully they're not ace or gay.
