Roll back to before Taupe's disastrous turn

Keep going and see what happens

Let it die

[TheFlame52]

Oh wait, I thought the banshee was getting in and the mutant was a corpse. Stupid red background. Also, if that's the guy left over from my turn, he's unarmored.

[Monitor Lisard]

Oh boy, that's quite a stand-off! I wonder- Did he just chicken?

Come on, stand up and fight, you fish-reeking goon!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yeah, come on, charge 'em! Tear those witches a new one!

*crunch*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Whoah, that looks... brutal. I kinda feel sorry for them. They knew what they were going for, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

OH ARMOK NO!

FUCK!

MY EARS!

Their screams are horrible!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While the fisherguy's running around freaking out, more banshees join the fight! Also, screw you, Muthkat. Nobody cares about your bracelets, not even the king. He's more into scepters, you know.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Keep punching! Man, what a sight to see.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Two on the ground, writhing in pain, more to go!... Probably.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh shit, they're smarter than that. Now they're collectively bitching at him from the safe distance.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of them dudes stumbled upon the merchants. Guards bash them swiftly. The invaders are starting to flee... They might not be going too far, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We've officially hit a mark of 60 beards!... Once again.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Uh, Limerick, could you... Wear something... please? I kinda feel uncomfortable when somebody comes to my office dressed like that.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yay! More dwarves!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[TheFlame52]

Well, at least someone's reversing the trend of everyone getting killed.

[Crashmaster]

We've come full-circle back to relying on fortuitous mist-mutant defense.

Well, at least someone's reversing the trend of everyone getting killed.

Turn List;

Taupe

How quickly the tide turns

[Monitor Lisard]

Finally, our soldiers are doing something else than gathering around some profecient dude to stare at him or loitering all day. I hope we'll soon be able to equip them with proper uniform or something.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look at them go! What grace, what unparalled might!... Eh, looks blundering as heck. I bet they're feeling awkward now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Found a report on some "master thief" visiting our grounds recently. Really, was anything stolen? No? Then somebody might have made up all this "banshee ninjas" bullshit.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Some guy went all secretive and started hauling shit to one of the mechanics workshop. Alright, I hope he makes something usable, at very least.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He's got a like a ton o'materials over there. I wonder what he's making with two obsidian boulders.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Whoah, that's something neat. We could probably make a nice lever out of it and place it in king's bedroom.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Again, even more minotaur-conducted atrocities. Do they really find it aesthetically beautiful? They probably do. Looks totally badass anyway.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

More spawn are said to roam the depth... Who knows. Anyone's willing to find out if it's true or not? Stop spreading panic rumours, really.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's time to prospect for more metals... Our militia's fully equipped with weapons, but we're short on proper steel armor. Gotta did for more iron ore.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There it is. Hematite, we do need more of it. Keep searching!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh, uh... I dunno how this happened. Let's butcher it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Huh, you want to keep it? Sure, whatever. At least, he's not bent on "polishing his Woody" like some military dudes in training are.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Populace's rising steadily. Good to hear that.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What? Someone's fighting the fisherdude again? Let me check this out... Oh no.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh no. OH NO!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Wait, more are coming?

FUCK. ME.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gah, they're filling up the corridor! Fisherguy's got smashed real fast, they're feasting on his corpse. WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I know! We're training... The militia... A lot. Fuck!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well, that doesn't bother me anyway. It's the second of Granite, 2016, and you know what it means. Yeat, it means that my tour of duty has ended, so I don't have to take care of all that shit any more. Now I'm finding my successor, telling them the good news and getting myself a mug of plump helmet mulled wine. Yeah, sounds good enough.


[OOC: Uploading the save real soon.

Update: Here it is.

[Crashmaster]

Wait, what? So was the now-expired-mutant-ex-fisherdwarf's hallway open to the fort and the surface this whole time? Or are we worried about constant screams from banshees entrenched out of reach of our never-in-control-anyways spawn army?

[Mr Frog]

The banshee's screams should be a non-issue now that we have 60 dwarves. They'll definitely cripple us, but good management should prevent the fortress from stalling completely.

I think Mon said that they ( it occurs to me that I'm not actually sure of Monitor Lisard's gender) closed the gates and the fisherdwarf was just lingering in an outer tunnel or something. The Spawn might have just been heading into the tunnel to pick him off, Armok willing.

I'm fairly certain lizards can switch sex to fill in whichever gender demographic is lacking on the forums. I learned this from jurassic park.

Spoiler: The secret of ML's real gender and identity. Do not open this in case you're secretly in love with me. Or, well, do whatever you will. (click to show/hide)

*emits masculine sounds*

It occurs that no matter how stubbornly I'm asking to be dwarfed as a male, they kept giving me gurls to play with. So, I decided not to bother too much and try to roleplay within my journal entries/writeups without crossdressing issues (which are found plenty in some classic succession forts).

(So, Taupe's theory is somewhat close to the truth)

Concerning the tunnel, it was sealed by Flame with a solid stone wall, but the invaders keep lurking inside, far from the reach zone of the Greater Spawn (who do not care even).

[Lolfail0009]

Wunderbar, two mysteries solved

[Mr Frog]

Sorry I vanished for a bit, dudes -- was really tired for the past couple days. Gonna send Taupe a PM shortly.

[Taupe]

Im here. I just don't really have access to my own stuff right now. The only thing worse than fire is bureaucracy.

Not only did my clothes burn, but the team that took our belongings to clean them three weeks ago hasn't started cleaning them. Because they lack the required autorisatiin... to clean blankets...?

One team was to tear down the walls but they bailed because they lacked the proper access from another branch of insurance. When they finally took these walls down, they complained shortly after that the cleanup team did a messy job because they didnt clear they inside of the walls. The cleanup occured weeks ago, and you took the wall down half an hour ago, dimwit, maybe thats why.

This is such a clusterfuck...

Oh, shit, sorry, I had actually forgotten about everything that happened. No idea how. Sorry   Should I go ahead and PM Dolosus then?

[DolosusDoleus]

I can pick up the save in a couple of days. I'm on vacation right now, so I'd rather spend some time with my family.
