Spring, Granite 5Thankfully, the elf murdering was kept on the hush hush thanks to the roaring popularity of my library. I was even recommended to be a Pokemon Professor alongside FirePhoenix11; a great honor!
Of course, that's gonna have to wait until after I'm done telling MCreeper to calm down.
Also, the hospital doesn't have boxes, so the dwarves have to carry everything for 15 miles which can cause death. I rectify this.
Spring, Granite 7Feeling as if that necromancer has overstayed its welcome, I prepare the troops, which I've given cooler Pokemon-related names. You're
welcome, Paddywagon Man.
Also, it seems as if Professor FirePhoenix11 has given up on the whole being disturbed by killing Pokemon thing.
Spring, Granite 10PULL THE LEVER, KRONK!...Wrong lever?
Upon further inspection, Paddywagon Man must have put extra walls around the bridges so that the necromancer didn't destroy us. I have the fortifications torn down and the bridges demolished whenever possible.
But I do keep the fortifications inside so the marksdwarves can pick him off easily.
Spring, Granite 13Our resident Gengar got sick of waiting for the walls to be torn down, so he just popped in and confused the necromancer.
Gotta say, it's pretty fun watching a fearsome ruler of the night run around wetting himself.
Also,
cowards!Looks like I'm going with Plan C; ambush the fucker from below. Plan B of ambushing him from above didn't go well, unfortunatly; water was in the way. We could have drowned him, but if he still has his necromancy book, I want it in my library.
Spring, Granite 16Looking forward to this one.
Also, welcome to the Master-Ball!
Area's not done yet, wanna show it off when it's done. Don't wanna see the bride before the wedding, right?
Oh, and elf caravan is here. Thankfully, I don't think they heard the news yet.
Spring, Granite 19They had a Dugtrio and pretty much nothing else. A bunch of wooden garbage, mostly. God, I'm tempted to tell them I slaughtered their diplomat.
Also, not bad. Should be a fine work of art for the library.
Spring, Granite 20C'mere, you...
Spring, Granite 21THE NECROMANCER IS FREED! Go, dwarves! Get me that book!
No mercy, dickmunch!He attempts to escape, only to realize that his cell is a dead end. With no corpses to help him, he's pretty much doomed.
Our newly dorfed Taupe stands boldly against the necromancer, shooting him in the face repeatedly with no mercy, not even waiting for comrades. What a trooper.
Pincer attack, motherfucker! The entire military is coming together to take down this one necromancer!
Spring, Granite 21Ding, dong, the witch is dead!
Asshole didn't have his book on him, but ah well. Satisfying to know we killed the menace once and for all!
Full battle log:
Okay, Paddywagon, you get respect from me back. I mean, for Armok's sake, look!
She (he? Paddywagon Man would suggest a male but Paddywagon is referred to as 'baroness'. Hm.) kicked him in the balls
so hard that his
entire crotch exploded. That's like death by snu snu without the snu snu. Hot damn, Paddywagon.
Spring, Granite 21Back to business. Since we're getting more visitors and probably even more with our grandiose library-to-be, I carve out some more rooms for visitors.
Spring, Granite 24Oh no
Oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no
OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO
Oh yes!
OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NOTHOSE ARE NOT POKEMON THOSE ARE ABOMINATIONS
WHAT DO WE DOThankfully, after extensive checking, it appears that HFS just loaded, we didn't actually pierce it. So, to all future rulers;
DO NOT PIERCE THE HFS. WE ARE NOT ARCHCRYSTALS. WE CAN NOT BE ARCHCRYSTALS. REMEMBER WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU.It's kind of funny watching them. "EARL, WHY CAN WE NOT MAKE IT INTO THE DWARVEN DOMAIN?" "BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T ACTUALLY REACHED US, SIR." "DOES ANYONE HAVE A COPPER PICK???"
Spring, Granite 24...So, you guys know how I said we didn't pierce it?
...
Uh... haha...
...Just kidding?
Boardupeverythingboardupeverything
boardupeverythingdammit-I have little to no knowledge of how the hell this underground system works, so I'm trying to find all possible exits, but god
damn there are too many-
Thankfully, they-
no don't Jynx it until they're blocked in...I'm currently blocking off any and all possible exits. I even try to patch up where the magma sea is opened. Those demons are not getting in this damn fort!
Also, everyone's freaking out about an Eelektrik, but that is honest to Armok the least of our problems.
WILL SOMEONE FINISH THE DAMN WALL, PLEASE?!
Spring, Slate 5At a cost, we sealed off one of the two known entrances for the demons. And just in the nick of time too; it looked like they were breaking the door down...
Rigoth Ellestoltar, a potash maker. He may have just saved the world with his own sacrifice. Noble dwarf, may you rest in peace.
NO, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! YOU'RE BRINGING THEM OVER HERE!Spring, Slate 6The demon lost interest in the moronic architect and the wall was finished.
Thank fucking Armok... We're past that ordeal. I'm gonna continue sniffing out possible entrances, but those are the main two, and a bunch of demons were nearing them... that was quite honestly the scariest moment I've ever had.
I forgot if I said I was because I'm in such a damn panic, but I'm destroying the magma forges and smelters because whoever built them forgot to put a floor under them so we don't get fucked in the ass by demons. They're swimming around the magma sea... they haven't discovered that entrance yet, but it's only a matter of time if we don't board it up...
Also, whenever I get an 'Interrupted by a' message, my heart freezes up only to find out it's that eelektrik. I'm just getting the military to kill the damn thing.
Spring, Slate 7NO! PROFESSOR!
They can fucking go through walls?! This is really fucking bad; I just hope the specters are the only ones who can pass through walls, but even so, that's
bullshit and I'm also goddamn terrified now.
...
No. They don't go through walls.
Whoever built the damn staircase forgot to make the last one an up staircase! They're coming for us; get the hell moving!
Damn it, Professor... This is all my fault...
One funny screenshot for the road?
Spring, Slate 9Crisis averted... for now.
That was the entire underground being blocked off. Everyone who was down there is now stuck down there. All of the Pokemon, all of the dwarves, even Professor FirePhoenix11's corpse. I just hope he's an actual Phoenix who will come back... if not, I'll have a masterwork statue carved in his honor.
For now, I can't bear this pain. It's too much, knowing how Phoenix was trapped down there thinking we were safe... it's all my fault. All my fault.
I can't go on like this. I'm sorry. Armok forgive me.
I never meant for any of this to happen.
*RECORD SCRATCH*Spring, Slate 10Yep, that's me, you're probably wondering how I got in this situation. Well, let me tell you.
Other guy was an imposter. The Professor was also an imposter; he's just fine and kicking.
Ha, and demons? What demons? Everything's fine! We just don't go too far underground because we just got kind of sick of the Geodudes living down there. Crazy, huh? Anyways, moving on!
...
No, okay, you saw what happened. Okay, so I fucked up and pierced the HFS. Thankfully, crisis should be averted for now, but we're going to need a new tunnel to get back to underground operations. We lost a
lot; to name the main things, we lost Paddywagon's Gulpin tomb, we lost our adamantine plant as well as adamantine already down there, and we lost our magma forges. We also lost access to the caves. Haven't gone back to play yet due to the large update here, so I'm asking; what the hell do we do now? I don't know how strong demons are, so I have no idea if our military is capable of taking them down. My idea right now is to try and reclaim some sections that are far away from the magma sea, like Paddywagon's tomb, keeping the demons at bay with the door, and try to build a wall (if the dwarves would all actually go and work on the damn thing ASAP) to prevent them from getting in. Or we could attempt the Archcrystals route and truly fight back then colonize HFS in a blaze of glory. Either way, I refuse to be the last overseer. I will not let my fortress die by my hands.
