Soz about the doublepost. Will I claim the save or no? The turn list hasn't been updated in a while so I'm not 100% sure of what the situation there is.

agreed. while the OP isn't updated I assume QuQuasar will eventually return.

Imic, if you choose to take the save, I have some requests:

1. host an arena fight!
2. add some marksdwarfs to the ranks

The first one is totally optional, second one is highly recommended after my experience with the last siege's flying riders. There were three sparrow-mounted goblins who stuck around FAR too long and no work could be done.

Righty then. Before I start, one last question: how should I go about accessing the magma? Should I go down and build the magma forges at the vent, or is there magma in the surface now? I’ve never seen or used a device like this before, I truly, genuinely have no idea what I’m looking at right now.

Youre looking at a big hole that has magma at the bottom.
Period.
Basically, its useless.
I guess it can be used as a goblin pit or a trash dump, but work is required to access he magma itself

So, you can either :
- build pump stacks to bring magma up (takes forever)
- build stairs and forges down below (which is against these rules I'd say)
- make a few nickel minecarts and fill them with magma, then bring them up, empty the magma below your forges.

Okay, I think I've delayed playing this too much, I don't think I'm as ready to start playing Dwarf Fortress after my Museum turn as I thought I was. Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up, I'm going to have to cancel.

I might have time for a third turn ;]

Spriggans, I was examining the save - this pit is amazing. It's also highly dangerous, being a straight tunnel for any flying megabeasts. Thirdly, it will seriously help with mining for certain stone colors, since you've revealed a little piece of info about every layer until the caverns. BRILLIANT

With furrowed brow, Salmeuk scribbles away at his journals. Whatever comes to mind, he records!

I have returned to the helm of Fishheads, and, as always, I have a mess to clean up:



Spriggans was a kind overseer, not too controlling, and I honestly believe him to be a superior engineer to myself after witnessing the sinking of that gigantic open shaft through the seafloor, however his tenure brought many troubling things to light regarding one of our more prominent gods of worship. Ono is associated with . . . sacrifice, and that's it. Seems awfully problematic to have no other guiding philosophies besides, uh, thoughtless murder in the name of your religion, but hey I'm not here to judge.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


The details are unclear, but it seems we narrowly dodged the wholesale takeover of our legal structure by the cultish intentions of the foul worshippers of Ono. Right beneath our noses they practiced ritual sacrifice (if only we had installed windows!) and build a large, mold-like green structure replete with golden statues of otherworldly beings with far too many tentacles. It seems as though Spriggans elected to self-sacrifice, and at the height of the subversive rituals he disappeared from view into the saltwater below, and has never been seen since. Some of his worshippers claim to still communicate with him, if they get on their hands and knees and press their ears to the floor, they hear him whispering through the lapping of the waves. Fucking hell, you know someone for years and it turns out they're just as nutty as the rest of the lot, eh?

Seeing as the cult has commit sepuku I will leave the remnants of the spreading green to decay in the elements. The remaining, non-insane worshippers of Ono seem to like the temple, and particularly the depictions of their eldritch deity, so that's nice.

The "Dark Siege" was in fact a single goblin crossbowman, who appeared lost in the humid coastal jungles and had no intention of attacking us. He scampered off after noticing about 10 of his comrades locked in cages at our gate.

This dwarf is aptly named:

This is a really badass image:

Look, our dwarves train in splendid colours! Happy 4th of July, if you're into that kind of thing.

I did a double take upon reaching the top of my tower to the fish gods:


That is CERTAINLY not a fish, and I really don't think it has any business being in that terrarium. Like, where the fuck is OSHA cause that elephant tank is going to explode one of these days. And that elephant is NOT tame.

Meanwhile, the most horrifying unit list I have every laid eyes on, for your own viewing pleasure:



Spriggans, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? what fate have you cursed your virtual avatar to?

Tis an experiment to see if an Elephant put in an aquarium becomes an Elephant Seal !

In that case though, the experiment is flawed, as I forgot to put water in the aquarium... Then, as expected by reasonable logic, it just ended up with a regular Elephant in a terrarium.

Try it and fill it with water if you dare !

Looks like an accident waiting to happen, let us leave it alone for now.

It appears people have disappearing off the face of the planet recently. kind of fitting fishheads sunk into the sea given how quickly eldritch abominations arrived

spriggans, smallhands is in need of an overseer if you are interested and urgently
