The body dumping continues.
It does not go well, Savotral was good at destroying coffins but he liked to leave the bodies for display on the floor.
Everyone is miserable, except for Èzum, who is suspiciously chill about the whole thing...
A visiting performer freaked out and put the doc on the hospital, through the wrong door.
The Animal Trainer killed a man, bringing us down to five working dwarves.
The performer then started some other fights and threw some stuff around.
3 went to the hospital, few cuts and bruises, one broken bone...
They sutured the wounds with adamantine clothing, of course.
Forbid all adamantine strands.
Some ghosts rise up and we memorialize them whenever they show up.
A bit hard since they have the habit of spooking the dwarf engraving their epithet.
I didn't know there were so many holes on this fortress. Covered three holes to the surface.
Seems to have worked, goblins are enjoying themselves hunting wildlife and stepping on the single working weapon trap up there.

[Fleeting Frames]

Might as well keep suturing with the strands they used, I think they might be useless for regular smithing now.

Only three? I expected lot more than that.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

That doesn't make any sense. You don't suture wounds with clothing. You don't even suture them with cloth. You suture with thread.

That doesn't make any sense. You don't suture wounds with clothing. You don't even suture them with cloth. You suture with thread.

I didn't pay much attention and used clothing for thread, might be because English is not my mother language. Yes, I do know that thread is a thin rope and cloth is a lot of weaved threads.

We use cloth to dress wounds, right? Or clothing, but I think that would be another kind of dressing then.

Might as well keep suturing with the strands they used, I think they might be useless for regular smithing now.

Only three? I expected lot more than that.

If I remember correctly, they just disappear once the patient heals. A shame, really.

Well, there were doors that could ve forbidden, and the west bridge is still working, so those were easier. One was a open wall on the above ground jail, one was a literal hole on the ceiling of the above ground jail,really funny, the gobbos didn't jump in, I discovered when a visitor went "pick up equipment" and got a arrow the the foot.  And one on the pumpstack for the mist generator.

I hope everyone stays sane until the goblins lose interest and scamper. If they overstay their welcome I'll send everyone to the towers and pelt them with bolts until they get convinced they need to bring trolls to break the doors.

Hope there is enough ammo... Maybe I should make a minecart body shotgun, it's the only thing we have in appreciable amounts besides booze.

[Fleeting Frames]

Sounds like a treehole for the jail. Got to be miserable, in jail and puking your guts out and goblins shoot you in the knee as well.

What kind of happiness is there remaining? Dining and sleeping, I assume?

PS: I referred to the rest of threadspool. Y'know, they don't use the whole thread item, only a small bit of it, so it goes from 10000/10000 to something like 9???/10000. They can keep suturing with the latter, but can't turn it into wafers.

[Magistrum]

The dwarves elected a new Mayor!

The animal trainer Stodir finally snapped and tried to kill everyone.
He didn't hurt anyone, but the guys got pretty bummed from having to kill their murderous friend. He had already killed the tanner tough, so I can't say it was much of a plot twist.
To make up for it however, Kikrost, has finally decided to get in on the madness!

Spoiler: Tough it does seen like an elaborate form of suicide. (click to show/hide)

I mean, didn't he just see they murder someone freaking out about bodies?

Yep treehole. Also, there was one over the pen, but I didn't have means(or will) to close it, so they spent some time shooting arrows at the bulls. Surprisingly effective. Still have too many bulls tough.

Right in the money, whenever someone starts getting depressed I burrow him on the booze stockpile level. There are no bodies there, a communal bedroom, I put some tables there and designated the whole area as dining room. It is a Grand Dining room, wich I find acceptable for a room that spans the entire layer.

Maybe adamantine is an exception, I couldn't find anything like that.

Spoiler: Found this however: (click to show/hide)

The thread is still in his neck.

The goblins have finally grown tired of shooting at the animals and went home. Too bad, it felt like fps was improving for a second there.
Just in time for a caravan and more migrants!
Seven migrants have come, ready to die. Which is very nice, because their friends had to spend a extended stay at the booze stockpile, so there was no one actually hauling the corpses.
With Kikrost, that makes it 12 brave dwarves. Really nice, the body hauling should pick up pace fast, a bit more and we can start dumping the above-ground bodies too. After that we will move on to the scattered body parts.

Spoiler: It's not hard to discern our priorities. (click to show/hide)

They are very diligent.

I saw our sudden population increase and took the time took refill our cistern.

Spoiler: It was down to a single z-level (click to show/hide)

Nevermind the water to the side, I was just about to flood the fortress the same way I almost did back then. Yes, I am not proud. I blame whoever mined that wall without telling me.

It is a shame tough, there seems to be an aquifer in the bauxite layer, so this cistern will be redundant after we set that up. It did it's job well.

Oh, I also fixed the dismantled roof on the Northwest Tower. How did that happen?

[Magistrum]

In another installment of Simple News!

The Goblins are at it again! The above ground bodies were being recovered, but everyone got inside safely before the g's rallied.

Spoiler: I think they are mocking me, still no building destroyers... (click to show/hide)

I forgot this could happen...

Because of that we have been working on the inside only for these months.

Spoiler: Also, this loser came along. (click to show/hide)

Steam... He will trip on a cave spider web, hit his head and die. Wait, does he have a head?

All indoor bodies have been dumped, and most teeth and heads have been dumped, meaning we can finally enable cleaning for everyone! We can finally discover what is the color of the floor! Here's a tip: Not red! Not anymore, anyway.

Spoiler: Also, ghost are a regular occurrence. (click to show/hide)

Oh, come on, Atîs is the most miserable girl in the fort!

We are trying to memorialize everyone now.
Everyone is either 'haggard and drawn" or "under a great deal of stress", except for Atîs, the butcher, whose life is a veritable nightmare, and I designated to engrave the slabs, since that involves a whole lot less of dragging bodies. She'll get better, I'm sure.
There is also Deduk and Èzum, who are fine. I find it suspicious.

The situation is so bad that even the goblins think our fortress sucks.

Spoiler: Oh,come on, quit being such a baby. (click to show/hide)

She seems to be the captain, the others were following her. That or the others were trying to give her emotional support.

Maybe it would be better if they would do us the favor of finding something else to do while we try to collect the bodies instead of camping on our lawn.


Why are there so many caged war dogs?


I'll enable general hauling soon, and then we can rebuild properly. I will send some dwarves to the towers to "incentivize" them to go away if they don't leave till Obsidian.

Since only the surface bodies remain, I want to know who is next, spring is coming, and the dwarves are finally calming down from the month without body hauling.


Edit: The first squad to be reinstated is the Marksdwarves squad! No one can aim straight, but that shouldn't be a problem from behind the fortifications.

Spoiler: Also, whoever is responsible for this wall is a traitor to the Mountain Home! (click to show/hide)

Really, why?

It's Spring! I think it is Onciblu's turn now, I'll PM him as soon as I finish uploading the save.

Editier: The save is here.

[onciblu]

Hey magistrum, melhoras

I wont be able to play till day 15 or so. Soo, i don't know how is the queue right now

[Magistrum]

Kametec has sadly went to a better place, may his memory always be with us.
In retrospect, not, I'm sure he is having fun playing Roblox right now.


I guess that's scourge728 then! I PM'd him.

If you are scourge, then here is the file. It is the file if you are not scourge too.

[scourge728]

I've got the save, and will play asap
EDIT: Our militia commander is kind of broken appointing someone just resets it back to nothing after I leave the screen , so no new squads for us I guess, I also managed to get a dwarf listed twice in the same squad
EDIT: I guess I just can't appoint someone who's already in a squad?
EDIT3: I was gonna remove everyone due to the fact that If I'm right the dwarf HAS to lead a squad or it unappoints them, but the dwarf listed twice can't be removed on either spot, and the dwarf leading the marks dwarf squad can't be removed because of them.... so Idek

[FakerFangirl]

They sutured the wounds with adamantine clothing, of course.
Forbid all adamantine strands.

lol

the mausoleum site to collapse the waveform there. 

This merits further research.

[scourge728]

Turn is done, will do the writing part tomorrow

Sorry for taking so long to check the thread, it is just some weirdness with the militia commander and squads. There needs to be a militia commander to appoint any dwarves to military service, and the militia commander is the first dwarf of the first squad. I appointed Èzum for militia commander(because he is very chill about dead bodies) and then I went down to the marksdwarves squad and made him put himself on the marksdwarves squad along with his friends, as if he were only a militia commander, but then, because he is not the first dwarf of the first squad anymore, the is no militia commander to appoint other militia captains. (All of this is meaningless speculation, I'll reproduce this and show Toady on mantis once I get some free time.)

You need to remove everyone from under him or replace militia commander in the nobles screen.

[scourge728]

First IRL happened, so write up will be tomorrow
Second, I kinda figured that out, but for some reason it let me appoint other dwarves from migrant waves even without a militia commander and appointed one of them as militia commander

[scourge728]

This turn got deleted by fat fingering, so second attempt LET'S A GO

Spring

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After making a dwarf, the first thing I noticed is we have a nicknamed visitor caged, Who also made a nameless artifact of some sort.

While trying to appoint this guy as millitia commander, I managed to do this

WHO KILLED MY CAVE CROCODILES!? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A BREEDING PAIR OF THEM!? VERY!!! WE COULD HAVE HAD A MUCH MORE RENEWABLE SOURCE OF GOBLIN FODDER THAN DWARVES BUT NOOOO, YOU ALL WANTED CAVE CROCODILE BISCUITS THAT NO ONE WILL EVEN MAKE!!!!!!!!!!

It was at that moment, or some time later, that inspiration struck, a genius plan, so when you pierce the adamantine, the demons all fly upwards as far as they can, but since we didn't pierce it from the top, only a few demons got into the fort, who are all dead as far as I can tell, so I could just dooooo this and lock them all back in.... And this is our greatest dwarven hero, the noblest of dwarves who sealed the demons back into hell and brought us back to relative safety, as long as no future overseer mines into that tube ever again..... I gave this mighty warrior the profession of Sealer, so that his/her deeds may never be forgotten, but I was an idiot and didn't screenshot it.

Oh no, not again.... *shudder*

WOOO REPOPULATION!!!

and it is now summer

Summer

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Something tells me that at this rate, we'll never kill those demons...

This is gonna be useless.. very much gonna be useless... uuuuuseleeeeessssssss And LOOK at that... USELESS

WOOO MORE BODIES TO GET BRUTALLY MURDERED BY GOBLINS OR DEMONS KNOWING THIS FORT, OR DIE OF DEHYDRATION BY BEING LOCKED BETWEEN TWO BRIDGES KNOWING ME IN THIS FORT!!!

And then some guy killed like 3 dingo men by themselves so I gave them the profession of

oh no

How did it get here with NO ONE NOTICING, WOULD YOU IDIOTS RAISE THE BRIDGES ALREADY!!!!
Well.... no one died I think, and we have a caged elf/rhinoceros now, so that's good...

WOOO

Autumn and Winter because I'm an idiot and forgot to screenshot the winter message

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 

.... someone raise the bridges, we'll probably lose about 3 dwarves to dehydration, and a few to goblins, and then I'll not screenshot it because that's just normal when I'm around....

Hello darkness my old friend....

I'm sorry, this was non-optional...

TAKE YOUR BETS FOLKS, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, AN EARRING, A REGULAR RING, A TOY BOAT, OR MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE, WHO KNOWS!?? I'VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN BY THE TIME I'M TYPING THIS WOOO!!!

USELESS TRINKETS AHOY!!!

At this point, I couldn't get him/her access to the supplies xe needed, which iirc were bones, logs, and cloth

May your noble deeds never be forgotten

YES YES IT BEGINS!!! YES WOOOOO WOOOO oh wait, I DID screenshot someone dehydrating to death.... eh, less important than the intentional death of all our livestock because frames...

Yeah, we really aren't dealing with this any time soon....

STOP GIVING BIRTH WHEN YOU'RE ALL STARVING TO DEATH!!!!!!

On the one hand WOOOO MORE DEAD LIVESTOCK, on the other...... those raging spirits of those cursed to die by the hands of the dammed sure are getting annoying....

At some point, the goblins left so I opened the gates when suddenly .... by this point I had written it off as insane, and had forgotten about the mood, so I was surprised to see this

Those who put your money on earring, you won!!! YOUR PRIZE IS NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guys only relationship is the deity, no parents or anything.... and she was worshiping the same god twice, with two different levels for it..

It was at this point I had my second stroke of genius after I accidentally opened the civilizations screen, and I checked and lo and behold we had ECONOMIC HOLDINGS WE COULD STEAL PEOPLE FROM!!!! So I assigned myself (Because I knew I wasn't someone doing something no one else was...) and a migrant, and later a child that grew up... to be messengers and sent them on their ways

OOOOOOH this could actually be USEFUL I am excite!!!!

here we go... here we gooooo

Oh you are KIDDING ME!? A donkey and a two humped camel Both of which are glitched and carrying a bunch of random stuff, which at some point they dropped somewhere that I couldn't find in the mess of arrows.. although I didn't actually look very hard, for all I know they vanished.

... not my first choice in weapons, I would have preferred a sword, axe or spear, but still useful   

And with that, it is spring

Notes for the next overseer

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was setting up a wall thing with some more bridges, basically play connect the dots with the already existing walls, and build some kind of thing to stop climbing and you should be fine, I've been connecting the bridges to the "All those bridges" lever... and the trade depot is getting some walls and two bridges, one is useless atm because a wall is behind it, just connect the two bridges and then delete that wall and it should work... DO NOT MINE INTO THE ADAMANTINE TUBE.... Keep sending messengers out if you can... we need more military... if the goblins come back, just flip the All those bridges lever, it doesn't matter if a few dwarves are trapped outside... just let the livestock die, it's not worth it... and the difference between the cave crocodiles and the livestock is migrants bring livestock, so as long as you have those, you won't be in short supply...

BEHOLD, THE MIGHTY SAVE http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14102
