There is a new monarch, but she's not here.

 - A cardinal with webs showed up in the third cavern. Everyone thank Armok it can't get in.
 - I've put a booze stockpile, mug chests, and a tavern keeper in the main hall. I wanted to see some dwarves die, but I think this fort is so old all our booze is non-alcoholic.
 - I'm slabbing some more ghosts.

 - We have a new FB in the caverns, a spider with poison bite. Don't let that fool you, it has webs too. It's where Ruyava was and it can't fly, so it's trapped there like Ruyava before.
 - This happened before, but the demon trap needs to have all the grates removed, the floor under them mined out, and the grates replaced. I'm working on linking up a lever that will open all the grates at once, so we don't need to take the checkerboard apart after every use. Even with superdwarf on the dwarves making it, I don't think it'll get done in my turn.
 - Because of a premonition, I'm flooring over the well in Astville. It's not like we need it.
 - I've undwarfed Psycho III and redwarfed him as the oldest kid of Psycho II. The dwarf formerly known as Psycho III is the most stressed dwarf in the fort.

Hold on a second, what the hell?



The reports are too old to see, but this can't be a coincidence.



Here, in the second cavern, is where the announcements came from.



Quothest is the cardinal with webs. Where's Quothest?



OH SHIT NIGGA IT'S IN THE RESIVOUR HOW THE FUCK DID IT GET IN THERE



The floodgate diagonal from it is almost destroyed. I don't know where it will go after that, and there are too many places it could go for me to seal it up. We'll just have to see.



With one final crash, the floodgate pops free. The water, held back for so long, surges forward.



What is this fucking sorcery!? It just phased right through the floor! I order everyone into the slightly modified 'Attack from below' burrow. While everyone evacuates the cavern, Quothest flies back into the reservoir.

After swimming around a bit, he flies up the well and into the fort.





FUCKING KILL IT



While the militia prepares to kill the beast, the reservoir begins to overflow. The fort won't flood, but we may get a bit damp.



The militia arrives one by one. They sight the beast around the corner and it sights them. They die.



More arrive. The beast cannot kill them all at once. Blades rise and fall. Blood spurts from jagged cuts.





Swordsmaster Stinthad deals the beast a crippling blow, but it is not over yet.



Surrounded, outnumbered, wounded, the beast finally succumbs.

Total casualties:
 - Rakust Shaligerith, hunter
 - Doren Okilkeskal, legendary weaver
 - Olon Cattenrulush, elite marksdwarf
 - Likot Udibidor, spearmaster
 - Uvash Othbemdodok, axelord
 - 1 cat
 - 4 giant grey langurs




That's Kubuk there, the most stressed dwarf in the fort. He just walked out there. He just had a genuine unfortunate accident.

And I'm done. That's all folks, try not to fuck things up too hard. Slab Kubuk when he goes missing, finish linking up the lever with the grates, dig out the rest of the Grand Temple.

Wait, someone actually completed a turn?  And wrote a log?  What the hell?

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!?
Logged
I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

Well, that went better than might have been expected. Well done, Flame, you now enter a very select group of people who've recently finished a year in under a week! (I think it's just you...)
That forgotten beast went quite well, I think, considering the suddenness of its entrance.
Ryukan will probably check quite soon, so I think we can just wait and see.

The turn list seems outdated, what's it meant to be?

I've earned that Chaosbane title ~10 times now.

1. There's no way that FB could have gotten in without that glitch. Also, how the fuck did it get into the second cavern?
2. It could have been better if I had been paying attention to the game.

OOC:  I know what will bring people back!  Some RP I've been meaning to do for weeks now but have been to lazy to actually write! /OOC

D3 stepped through the portal and back into DoomForests.  His 'reign' had long passed, and things were business as usual.  Except for the large barrel he saw in the office.  There was a note on it reading "Don't open.  Leg inside."  Naturally, curiosity overcame D3 and he opened it.  There was indeed a leg inside, elven judging by how pale and frail it looked.  The elf leg was floating in what seemed to be Dwarven ale.  D3 then closed the lid and called for Kronk.

"Kronk, care to explain why this is here?" 
"Yeah, Hans dropped that off a day ago.  Something about 'That damn Bugman and his idiotic desires'.  You have any idea what that means?"
"It means this belongs in the caverns, not my office.  Let's get rid of it before someone sees it."

About an hour later they had managed to sneak the barrel down to the caverns and had returned to the office.  D3 looked exhausted. 
"What's wrong boss?  Not finding Dark One's plan?"
"Pretty much.  I've got the feeling that this whole portal business was something he cooked up as a distraction.  If so, it's worked marvelously.  At any rate, only two worlds left to check.  If nothing else, I should be able to find a world we can hide in if things go south here."  With that D3 finished off his flask of rum and fell asleep.  The next 'morning' he woke up and made his preparations.  He stepped through the portal and emerged outside of a strange looking settlement.  He saw a sign in front of him that read "Welcome to Nsburg!"
