ARMOK BE PRAISED! THE GREAT BEAST IS DEAD!



That flashing purple A is Os Badsilt, a web-spitting alligator. He's been terrorizing my first cavern for 15+ years. He has two FBs, several goblin prisoners, and hundreds of cavern creature kills under his belt. He was brought down by a combination of live bait (giant sparrows), a hailstorm of silver bolts, and my entire marksdwarf force. Even the Hellguard. Captian Sigun was the one to get credit for the kill, but really it was the thousands of bolts that caused him to bleed out. He later named the crossbow that killed it.

FBs belong in Hell imo, they seem right at home with the other gibbering monstrosities

I'm fine with FPS of 2-4, get ready for the long haul

My FPS is a bit better now at ~7.

On another note, one of my big goals in this fort was to marry the queen to one of my dwarves. The problem is, there are no eligible unmarried males to marry her to. How should I solve this?

[Loud Whispers]

Lock her in a room with all the bachelors of your Fort

What happens next stays in the Dining Hall

[TheFlame52]

It doesn't work like that - A dwarf will only marry another dwarf of their preferred gender if they are within 10 years of them. All the males 42-62 are married.

Arranged marriage? (with DFhack) With who? Baron Bastiongate's heir is a woman and I want kids, so it has to be someone else.

[Pirate Santa]

Could you give some of their wives a !!Divorce!!

[TheFlame52]

1. I happen to like their wives. On top of that, I like all my dwarves.
2. They wouldn't remarry even if I did. In DF, marriage is for life.

Damn.

[TheFlame52]

Nothing interesting is happening. Now that Os Badsilt is gone, though, I need a new way to get rid of flying animals that get caught.

[TheFlame52]

There was a bit of a mishap with accidentally pitting some flying creatures. A few dwarves almost fell down the magma pit. Luckily, they caught themselves on the walls and climbed back up. Several dwarves were scratched but none were seriously injured. Most notable was when one of my marksdwarves Sparta-kicked a buzzard down the magma pit.

Then the dwarven caravan came. There was some sort of loyalty cascade and two wagons, a merchant, and two caravan guards were killed. None of my guys were killed, but several markdwarves were wounded, and only avoided death by the quick intervention of their comrades and the melee military. And so once again I go another year without selling my goods. I am dumping the ill-gotten goods, especially because they're just food and I have trouble with too much food already.

Between the two incidents my doctors are getting some good training in.

The impish caravan has arrived, hopefully I can sell everything to them.

EDIT: Shit! The axeimp that came with the caravan just hacked a cat to pieces. At least it wasn't a dwarf and I got some warning. This time I sent the melee military out first, preventing any injuries. Three cats died, though, one of them a pet. It will not be missed.

[TheFlame52]

I've had part of temple over a glowing abyss for a while, but never had the artistic or architectural knowledge to complete it. So I'm collapsing it into the abyss.

CAPTIVE DEMONS



AND WITH THAT, FOLKS, I LEAVE YOU. SEE YOU IN AUGUST!

[Loud Whispers]

BUENO

[TheFlame52]

I caught two more demons, but the remaining demons are just sitting around doing nothing now. Also, a fire-breathing dimetron appeared in the third cavern. It is killing hungry heads.

Some kid is making something out of saguaro rib wood. It looks interesting.

[Loud Whispers]

What on earth is a Dimetron?

[Immortal-D]

What on earth is a Dimetron?

One of the early-generation Autobots from the comics, he transformed into coins and other small metals.

[TheFlame52]

What on earth is a Dimetron?

Some kind of dino. Use your google-fu.

Said FB managed to escape my trap, which was baited with all the giant sparrows I wanted to get rid of. It was standing on the bridge when it should have gone up. I'm now preparing a second set of bait, this time with a bunch of extra helmet snakes. Those things breed fast.

I've also caught a total of 7 one-eyed brutes (green birds with deadly sting) as well as 3 snow spirits (snow theropods). I've noticed my trap is somewhat flawed, so after this, I will be rebuilding it somewhat.

I've started taking down the north and east scaffolding for the Hell Bastion. It is a slow and tedious process. But nobody gets hurt. I'll unveil my secret project when all the scaffolding is down.

Also while all this happened a goblin siege came and was caught and an eight-legged beaver with webs showed up in the first cavern.
