Heres the save for whoever is up next!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TaHN3E-yPkdWkpw8gt6SqSIcMFe6yO23/view?usp=sharingI'll write up what happened over the next two days, if that works for people.
In the meantime, you can enjoy this 'not entirely unwholesome' attempt to recreate the first scene from the Winnie the Pooh film.
Watch, listen, and be amazed as I climb a tree for honey. An awful contemptible, lying, and honey thieving tree.
And yes, it took me six actual IRL minutes to climb a tree, it was ridiculous. And the music didn't help, lol.
(Note: I did have to make use of dfhack to spawn the bee colony up in the tree.)https://youtu.be/8Q_9kUIJQvsMore of the screen got cutoff than I wanted. If I ever attempt to make another video, I'll just do full screen capture and then trim it afterwards.

Oh. And about my fort, I'm not going to do a write up about it. But the end was pure chaos.
I had a feeling it was the end when a vampire historian diplomat from a human civ showed up and made a straight b-line to the tavern, and just drained this dude in front of everyone, before casually strolling over the mayor's office to have a meeting about trade. Drained someone else, and left before any crime was reported!
Next month, we got attacked by a werecreature intelligent undead; and then evidently missed catching the last person who got bit, and so the next month that dorf turns into a big crazy thing, but it was a two-pronger, and we got attacked by a lady necromancer were-creature at that same exact moment...
and then the loyalty cascade happened. So after the first were creature, to recoup some of our losses, I put all of our necromancer scholars into a military unit, in the hopes they would resurrect some of our citizens during combat... instead, they kind of just made more were creatures. It was a mess. I think someone warned me once about
"what is dead may eternal lie, but with strange something, yeah I can't remember the rest." So like, Lou Bega, the singer / the necromancer performer mayor's severed limbs started attacking the citizenry, after I think Reggy the former CEO of Nintendo slayed him, uh... the first time?; the were-creature zombies started fighting each other, and that was cool; and the collateral damage tallied up to like a 80 dorfs or something, and I was like alright, "my work here is done."
I built a shrine trapping one of the creatures that fell into a pond during a struggle with the necroamncer were gerbil lady, and dwarves pray to a god of death on top of it now.

Also, all of my adventurers are now dead lol. Mr. Wabbit died in a tomb, after he got trapped via unretiring and being stuck prone and unable to climb out. And Gristeffer died also. Mr. Wabbit recovered his "Eye of Blades" from his eye socket, but has obviously now lost it.
I have a bunch of screenshots that I took and have to go through and curate, and then hopefully come up with some almost witty character dialogue to accompany them.
