4th of Hematite, 208, early summer.
Today Baron Uzol Ducimnicat called me to the throne room. It seems that none have of the merchant wagons that had been sent to Bannerweaken have returned for the past four years have returned. The last communication from Bannerweaken was from a concerned citizen saying that their current leader had locked himself in a room, and commanded the miners to dig the entire adamantium spire out. Usually the nobles would be to drunk to care, but due to the recent booze shortage, Uzol sobered enough to realize that something must have happened to Bannerweaken. he has sent me and 5 other warriors to Bannerweaken to find out what happened there.
Also he is sending several farmers and brewers to help end the booze crisis.
15th of Hematite, 208, early summer.
I and the other members of the Felowship Of The Beer have arrived at Bannerweaken. much like i remember, rotten goo is falling all over the sky. It is somewhat strange to be back here after all these years.
I remember back when i left the pla- AAAAAHHHHH WHATS THAT WINGED EARTHWORMY THING!!!
17th of Hematite, 208 , early summer
Two days ago Our Fellowship was attacked by earthworm demons. then a bunch of stuff happened...
And I became the new mayor of Bannerweaken! It seems demons escaped from the underworld here after these dwarves dug too deep. I have taken over management on Bannerweaken to rally survivors, and to destroy the demons before they attack the rest of the world.
19th of Hematite, 208, early summer
Imic has told me to have my miners dig to the adamantium vein. after all, most demons have already left it.
I have sent Diggy on this quest.
He also told me about a secret plan, the details of which I will not divulge here. I have rearanged the squads. I of course am the Militia Commander.
20th of Hematote, 208, early summer
I have noticed a ghost named Sodel Uvaruzel haunting Gwolfski. Sodel is just restless and Gwolfski doesn't seem to mind, so I've decided to let it.
Also I have tried to get MoonyTheHuman to do some work but he keeps refusing and talking to himself, something about something terrible happening in two years... anyway I got temporary ESP and noticed that a earthworm demon had killed a human poet named Dastot Muthkatkodor. And Dastot had several human bone crowns, so it seems he may have been a vampire. Another human poet named Snodub Stasostbonrosp is being attacked by a few Pterosaur Demons. in fact a stream of poets seem to be heading here. Why? is it because if they survive they can write a song about it? And why are most of them naked? maybe I should stop thinking about it. And there's a incorporeal Echidna that if it weren't surrounded by demons I would retreive it for training purposes.
21th of Hematote, 208, early summer
Stasost HatedSword is a goblin bard that has survived for a whole day. Stasost is tired though. Fatephantom the Dead Ghost kicked him in the right lower arm and collapsed it into a lump of gore.
Then his right foot was torn apart. he is too tired though. it is only a matter of time, till he dies.
I know not how but DDDragoni got to the surface and was interupted by a earthworm demon.
DDDragoni only has 24 tower-cap bolts left. Let's give DDDragoni a moment of silence
...ok moment over.
22nd of Hematite, 208, early summer
I put on a well-crafted item. I am so content about this. also, I'm being attacked by a earthworm demon in the middle of the fort who must have got in because of a structural fault that imic made. YOU EARTHWORMY THINGY! U RIPPED MY KNEE!!! AHHHH I AM IN A RAGE ABOUT THIS!--- okay My avatar has died, so I'm
going to stop speaking in the first-person..also it's kind of embarrasing that i've played just six in-game days and already lost my avatar. Anyway the demon is in the stairway just right of the tavern. Lunatic is busy getting
provisions and isn't near the demon. Cerol is not a dwarfed formumer and he isn't in the military, but he took that moment to grab some stuff from the room under the demon.
Nikarus is close to the demon, but he too is getting provisions. Diggy is wayoff, so i'm locking him up in case he can save himself that way. Gwolfski is slighly off near the coffin room. Tuxfanturnip is way off also digging so he might be spared. Imic is next to Lunatic in the food stockpile. MoonyTheHuman and TheCheeseMaker are both close to diggy so they might be spared. Now a non-naked human dancer is visiting. Many people now are getting caught in the earthworm's web. more demons are coming. Right now diggy and Tuxfanturnip are my last hope.
just so you know, there are two forgotten beasts. one FB is a towering noseless beaver with about 200 scars,
and the other FB is an enormous three-eyed crocodile who has poisonous gas, and whose brain is rotten. there is definately NOT a third FB in a secret location for next-turners to find, that idea is absurd.
Dammit, Tuxfanturnip decided now is a good time for semi-fresh underwear. Well, i'm going to forbid it, how do you like that? what's with this? i don't remember it deleting all the alerts before 2 days are up. is the alert deletion have to with real time that can't be paused? what!? purring maggot leather cap? ugh.
23rd of Hematite, 208, early summer
Diggy is the near-last surviving dwarf in the fort. WAIT, Tuxfanturnip has entered a martial trance! not sure what a martial trance does, but it probably slightly increases his chances of surviving. hope it also allows him to evade webbing. uh-oh, Tuxfanturnip was hit with deadly spittle. that can't be a good thing. Let's give Tuxfanturnip a moment of silence...
ok moment over.
24th of Hematite, 208, early summer
Why is demon webbing only worth 6 urists? anyway Diggy is indeed my only hope. it's essentially a impromptu hermit mode.
25th of Hematite, 208, early summer
Nomal Kolshoduk, baron consort of Roofecho is visiting. my soon-future condolences to the baroness of Roofecho. Wait, Nomal is a goblin! is Roofecho's barroness a goblin? Diggy's going to make some slabs, do some mining, then brave a cavern that doesn't have a FB already in order to try farming.
27th of Hematite, 208, early summer
Nomal Kolshoduk, is still alive and is neither tired, nor injured. I don't know how he's doing it, but I kinda wish my dwarves had had that ability. Nomal has a instrument. Maybe his music is soothing the savage Demon?
I have decided to send Diggy to the third cavern layer. The first and second have FBs I can see and Diggy will need food eventually. Hi-ho Hi-ho it's off to the third cavern layer I go. The game is more laggy now, then when I started. It may have to do with the buildings being destroyed all over the place by demons.
28th of Hematite, 208, early summer
Diggy hasn't see any corpses, so he's weirdly un-stressed considering theres been a demon invasion, and that he's the only survivor.
1st of Malachite, 208, Mid-summer
Not sure how many days are in a dwarf-month but the new demon invasion started at least eight days ago, So Diggy should celebrate his survival. Or I suppose he could just keep trying to survive, but what is fun about
that?
3st of Malachite, 208, Mid-summer
I've opened my little fortress to the third cavern layer. I hope there won't be a FB here before Diggy can complete the wall. thanks to his steel pick Diggy should be able to handle any non-FB, non-GCS cavern creature.
Also amid all the Death and Destruction a Porcupine has gotten stuck in a tree. Nomal Kolshoduk is not stiill shown on the "other" unit list, so he either died(likely) or went out of the area(possible). Diggy has a pick which brought him here, but he has no Axes, so no beds or other wooden items for him.
5st of Malachite, 208, Mid-summer
The Dead/missing list is currently at 1351. neither of the non-trapped FBs are listed on the "other" list. I wonder if they are dead or just left the area. Just so you know the tame Naked Mole dogs died about an in-game week ago.
I'm letting Sodel the restless ghost "live" so that he might take a blow intended for Diggy.
9th of Malachite, 208, Mid-summer
Uh-oh, Diggy is thirsty. There are no incidents with drinking the water.
Happy Birthday! It's a boy! A Demon is born!
Datan Eturkot, Fisherdwarf has Arrived. and he brought a kitten!
Datan must have thought that earthworm demon was the perfect bait. Oh, well. I was kind of hoping Diggy could have some help, but guess not. Many demons in the fort are sitting around taking turns hitting Azzinsezuk, Zink Chest Of Legend.
19th of Malachite, 208, Mid-summer
I was busy getting Diggy to build his new base when i received an alert that scared me a little.
The Forgotten Beast Esru Osmatosta has come! Fortunately, It was not on my level.
21st of Malachite, 208, Mid-summer
Diggy has survived a month after the Second Demon Invasion! To celebrate he's going to make a buncha slabs!
Goodbye, Sodel Uvaruzel.
4th of Galena, 208, Late summer
Diggy is thirsty, but instead of going to the river, I'm going to try brewing some plump helmets.
He tries to pray to his god, but considering the god won't gift him booze, i canceled his praying.
His survival is slightly more important than his sanity right now.
9th of Galena, 208, Late summer
Unib Paintpolished, Goblin Bard is visiting, and heading straight for the underground demons.
Several Demons have found the slab & coffin room, so I'm going to have to increase my slab production.
23rd of Galena, 208, Late summer
Diggy is badly distracted after being unable to pray to his god, so I'm going to make a temple he can pray in.
The Human Scholar Alath Kudstukos has come! Beware his deadly knowledge!
Thanks to the efforts of the many doomed visitors, they replaced the "missing" label with the "deceased" label on some dwarves.
27th of Galena, 208, Late summer
Alath Kudstukos is still alive. he is in the room just below my avatar's corpse.
1st of Limonite, 208, Early Autumn
Diggy has planted two plump helmet seeds and he has a plump helmet in reserve, but I think I'll send Diggy out into the outside cavern to get some pig tails. The Human Scholar Alath Kudstukos has died.
10th of Limonite, 208, Early Autumn
Diggy has decided that right after removing part of the wall so he could drink water, he should go right to sleep.
13th of Limonite, 208, Early Autumn
A caravan from Taremdomas has arrived. Their wagons have bypassed our hell-ish site. They need a trade depot
to unload their goods, but just need a demon to die.
15th of Limonite, 208, Early Autumn
While Diggy was out of the bunker getting water, a deadly-blood FB, named Sitsu, got into my base and broke my farm and my mason's workshop. He is still there, lurking.
the afore-mentioned merchants are currently battling with demons.
Some quotes from the merchants:I was attacked. How Shocking!.:I have improved my crossbow. How very satisfying!.
21st of Limonite, 208, Early Autumn
After the FB got into Diggy's base and made it his own, Diggy got a second base that's not that far from the origional, but just enough to be safe from the FB for the moment. The Outpost Liasion from the doomed caravan is still alive, blistered and tired, but alive.
1st of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
some migrants are arriving. I hope they can survive to help Diggy.
2nd of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
The migrants have all survived so far! I hope this remains so. Two Forgotten Beasts are battling for the title of...
Best Forgotten Beast In Recent History! Three of the migrants are still alive. I'm making them block the entrances to the First Fort.
9th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
The Outpost Liason left alive! This might be a turning point in the fort! I'm still gonna leave Diggy there, because why not? Well, I guess at some point Diggy needs to resume his quest to get the candy.
10th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
Now that I have some new dwarves let's tell you about the resident dwarves.
Diggy, a Miner who single-handedly saved the fort from destruction.
Cor, Primarch Of The Foehammers, a recruit who I will make into a Hammerdwarf to be feared.
MoonyTheHuman originally died in the Second Demon Invasion, but i noticed this guy goofing off, so i redwarfed MoonyTheHuman.
Libash Tradeenjoys, is a skilled Animal Caretaker, Talented Wound Dresser and Diasgnogtician, and novice Gelder. I couldn't think of anybody wanting to be (re-)dwarfed who told this guy's description. If she's still alive at the end of my turn you can ask to have her specifically as your dwarfed guy. okay, that's it with the descriptions.
After I fill in the entrances, I'm going to have to make a lot of coffins and slabs, then i'm going to train Cor while the others do important things(farming, brewing, cooking, hauling, goofing off).
Moony has chosen to clean some of the fort. We're going to have slightly less blood around.
11th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
Diggy has semi-completed his current base. MoonyTheHuman must like cleaning, because he purposefully chooses to do so when he could be doing important things. I wonder if this is the first time in history someone has been lazy by cleaning?
14th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
The fort has been sealed off from the outside world. no bards have come in some time. I wonder if they too realize
that this place is dangerous. I think I shouldn't memorilize the ghosts that are currently floating around Diggy, because they have been floating around so long without scaring him that it seems wrong to destroy them.
24th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
I just had a thought. what if the demons aren't in the tavern because they want to hit the artifact chest?
what if demons like taverns just as much as dwarves? maybe dwarves and demons should make a peace treaty to the effect that they'll work together to destroy the elvish forests?
26th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
Ugh. the entire extended Imic had a family reunion. or at least their ghosts did. they made many architectural mistakes that surely will lead to the end of the fortress. However the ghosts made it in such a way, that it will take 2 years for it to fall. Today Moony thought the following. "Wouldn't it be grand to just take my life off and do nothing for the rest of my days?" There's a lone duckling outside.
27th of Sandstone, 208, Mid-Autumn
Twins! Demonic Earthworm twins! sure, their mother was actually a earthworm demon, but that doesn't make demonic twins any less creepy. Coming into theaters near you!: Twin Earthworms From Hell!
Also coming into theaters near you!: Mysteries Of The Bride Of Butterflies (actually an in-game book I just
discovered).
6th of Timber, 208, Late Autumn
Kogan Uzolbasen, has arrived, And he thinks the demons are out of this world!
13th of Timber, 208, Late Autumn
I have sent Diggy to the adamant spiral, the same quest that I sent him on back on the 19th of Hematite.
1st of Moonstone, 208, Early Winter
Winter is apon us. Cor is busy training and Moony and Libash are collecting the demon thread, both for caution(can't be caught in webs that aren't there) and novelty(so what if you have Dragonscale Mail, I have a Demon Silk Tuxedo!)
12th of Moonstone, 208, Early Winter
The Unholy Shrieks the performance group is visiting. I see seven group members so far, and all of them are naked. The Unholy Shreiks have existed since the midwinter of 145.
13th of Opal, 208, Mid-Winter
Don't worry, that lever in the main room DOES NOT activate the support right next it. Don't be ridiculous.
Wait, you can have FB's in the underworld?
25th of Opal, 208, Mid-Winter
Antham Fanujir, Human Maceman is visiting. I was thinking about opening the doors so he might live, but then i noticed the dwarf bone crown. if you consider killing killing dwarves a crowning achievment, then you're going have to stay out in the cold, along with the stupid demons.
3th of Obsidian, 208, Late Winter
Antham Fanujir is still alive, but that won't hold true for long.
11th of Obsidian, 208, Late Winter
Cor is already progressing. If i could just teleport that incorporeal echidna into a nice room for Cor... Well guess I'll just level his defensive skills throught the danger room.
1st of Granite, 209, Early Spring
I believe I'm supposed to play only till this day, so my turn is up.
Diggy, MoonyTheHuman2, Libash Nishankas, and Cor, Primarch Of The Foehammers are all alive.
Moony, Libash, and Cor are in the main fort along with The Unholy Shrieks are currently in the Fort.
Diggy is in the third cavern layer
end
dwarfed list
Nikarus,TheCheeseMaker,Tuxfanturnip,Gwolfski,Flame and Lunatic were all there at the start and they all died.
I re-dwarfed MoonyTheHuman on my turn, and after he died i made yet another one.
I redwarfed Proffessor Beardsly and he died.
I redwarfed Imic and he died.
I dwarfed Cor, Primarch of the Foehammers as a hammerdwarf
Digger is still alive.
Libash Nishnakas is a Gelding dwarf that someone might want specifically to be dwarfed as.
