There are some leftover mythical creatures left... I think. There's one roc left alive, and oh my, Calovi got killed. That's interesting.

Yes, Moldath killed Calovi at her shrine, and her skull is now on exhibition at the Museum.

Interested to hear that Moldath the Blind Sadist is now a Baron...

Congrats on your ascension into the upper echelon of The Walled Dye

27th of Galena, 825
I'm back on the mainland. Actually used the bridge this time.
Let's hope I can make it to Duskhome.

4th of Limestone, 825
I've crossed the mountains. Duskhome is within reach.

5th of Limestone, 825
I'm here. There is no town, just emptiness, but there are still people here, somehow. I'm not sure if they were the ones here before it got erased, or if they're from elsewhere.

I won't read the slab yet. I have to see what happened in Gor, too. Then it'll be time.

8th of Limestone, 825
Gor is even more empty than Duskhome. There is no one left.

I was attacked by SOMETHING. A massive, quadrupedal thing composed of ash. It seemed not entirely solid, as if it wasn't meant to be here. It's a good thing I can't get tired anymore.

I'm going to read the slab in the morning. I hope this is really what I was looking for.

Can we get a print screen of which bridge you're refering to? You don't have to go back with the adventurer or anything, use the map in Legends Mode or a throw-away pre-created new fortress or Legends Viewer.

I told you so.

Wonder what you'll find. I have some fun (!!fun!!) ideas.

If I remember correctly, some of them had demons in them before they were deleted, but the demons remained in the character sheets/positioning/whatever, so they remained on TOP of the map. There are possibly dwarves looking aimlessly on top of the barren land, or they left to other forts since there's no longer a "site" there.

Also, since we're on the subject, probably super-spoilery, so click on your own risk, but my own compedium of Orid Xem demons taken from various sources. Enjoy the horror! (In hindsight, I should have posted this on Halloween, but it's a good time as any).

translated name Thiefpuzzles the Wicked for who wants to look him up in Legends Viewer. Enjoy.

Based on the description and circumstances it must be Razorbridge?

I told you so.

Yeah, I noticed I bolded mostly the o-s, but I couldn't be bothered to do it more random.

Looked at the map and yeah it was Razorbridge.

This is quite interesting. I think it explains why the Blind Sadist, Moldath, is rotting.

I encountered a masterwork adamantine battle axe in a stairwell in IronWards which was coated in dwarf blood and light blue devil gore, which I drank.

It seems from your list of demons that light blue devils have deadly blood… oops.

That certainly does, with my medical dwarfs running around trying to discover this mysterious illness has befallen you.

I'm not too sure that the blood-drinking is the cause of that - LBD blood only seems to cause blisters and unconsciousness, rather than outright necrosis (unless the blisters being left untreated for a while causes it to progress to necrosis?).

The Worm? Well, that's not at all ominous...

Hmm I don't know how the game mechanics work exactly but syndromes appear to be somewhat dose or body size dependant? Ingestion may be a worst case exposure, and licking may be even worse?

A well known example of that is that cats were dying of alcohol poisoning a few versions back, because they were licking it of their paws when cleaning themselves.
Moldath has basically done the same thing here.
Licking poorly identified substances from the floor or other objects is a dangerous habit from a health perspective. Even when it tastes good.

[kesperan]

I guess I’ll never know for sure.

Some of the intelligent undead types have a “rot” magic ability which could also explain it - I ran into a few of them hunting necromancers.

Moldath is basically covered in scar tissue now - the medical dwarfs at Ancientknowledge chopped off all of his flesh they could find, but his internal organs and bones are still rotten.

[Lurker Z]

Well, I'm glad the page could answer some questions (or give rise to 10 more, that's good too).

Could it be an evil biome effect? Some have blood that falls like rain and does things to the affected.

I recommend a resource:

Code: [Select]

gui/gm-editorYou need only type the text into DF Hack while positioned over the character you wish to inspect. (It works both in Fortress Mode and Adventure Mode.) If you can figure out your way in the labyrinth that is this very stuffy page, maybe you can find details on the syndrome you're looking for.
