Oh my.

Oh damn.

Was breeding the fort back up ever a possibility?

[NCommander]

The world still gets migrants, I actually got a batch not long after this update, but right now I'm *trying* to too deep the fortress and failing. I think the binary I have is patched to disable the too deep check. I'm reverting to a stock binary in an attempt to end throwback fortress and starting the 40d one.

EDIT: SUCCESS, I too deeped it. Final update coming

[NCommander]

Final Update

This is a scorched masterwork journal owned by Kol 'NCommander III' Uristlaven. It contains the final records of Boarpaints. It menaces with spikes of raw adamantine.

Tick, tock, tick, tock. I can hear the clock. Tick, tock, tick, tock.

As I walk these halls, I can smell the fumes of industry although I can hear the demons below.

I don't know how much time has passed, I don't know why I wander these halls in silence.

I don't know why I expose the vein I went so far to protect.

Tick tick tick goes the pick.



Tock tock tock goes the clock.

I can hear the whispers, of the witch, I can smell the smell of rot. Tick tick tick goes the clock, tick tick tick goes the pick.

I know that time is but an illusion. We all exist in moments that are forever changing, mutating, and growing. In one world I died, in another I burned, and now? Now I seek it all. To know the truth.

Tick tick tick

The clock strikes 12, the world still stands, more of the strains must go ...



Tick, tick, tick

Tick, tick, tick

I wonder why those below do not join me in the world above. Perhaps they need an invitation to join thus on the surface above. Cobble, cobble, cobble, goes the bridgemaker.



Tick, tick, tick goes the clock.

The clock strikes 3.

Tock, tock, tock, go my thoughts.



Adamantine is all that I see.

Tick, tick, tick, the truth is here.



Tock, tock, tock, goes the clock at 3.

I'll take a turn.  Maybe I can do more than only a couple of days this time.

I'll be in for the 40d version. Wouldn't mind an ice biome though we should make sure we have the HFS for hiliary sake. Maybe help write some lore.

[Fleeting Frames]

Well, that felt like gravity.

Tick Tick Tick Go The Souls Of Bay12.

A soul is now mine

Glad I did justice to this fort

[Gwolfski]

Nice to see you embracing insanity. Keep at it!

[NCommander]

Incidentally, here's the final save of the fort: http://dffd.bay12games.com/submit.php?action=message&fid=12626

If someone wants to go roll up an adventurer and try to slay the demon, it might be a suitable epilogue.

[DolosusDoleus]

You know, I think imma take this save and kill the demon. I'm gonna see if I can come up with some lore for the next fort better than "lol space-time portal to the past".

Keep the portal, but imply something was behind it.  Could use dialogue with the demon as one method of bringing it across.  And you could have the adventurer come across post-overseership journals of some of the dwarves.  I recall my dwarf was from the 2d world and was planning on investigating into why there were dwarves who thought in terms of z-levels, so his journal might be useful..

I sort of like the idea that the demon I released into the world is pulling the strings across time and space. Essentially, events we do in the future lead to Boarpaints burning and insanity, while events in the past turn things forward. Though if you actually manage to slay the demon (which is hard; might want to build a fort to churn out candy equipment), then we can get into a Final Fantasy-like Time Loop.

[DolosusDoleus]

...as it turns out, not only is killing the demon absurdly difficult, but so is getting to him in the first place. Damn spirits of fire keep eating my adventurers.
