say, could you post a screenshot of my grave ?

at first i wanted to rejoin, but then I thought "nah, after all I died a heros death, my grave is enough"

is it ?

[Captain Mayday]

It's not very interesting. If I posted a pic in 3d, it would appear empty.
A pic from ingame just shows a fully engraved 3x2 room with a coffin containing your body.

[Akroma]

what is the most remarkable engraving in it ?

[Captain Mayday]

Well, it's actually just been engraved.
So we have a bunch of goblins fighting with dwarves, a titan being laughed at by a dwarf, a dwarf slaying a bronze colossus, etc.

[BurnedToast]

haha, I love the conversation between my dwarf and the captain. Also, hooray for getting a backstory!

how buffed up was the colossus? normally they are pushovers for champs, what did you do double it's size? heh. Steel blade traps would have still probably shredded it though, which is kind of boring - much more fun to send in the troops! (as long as I'm not a troop)

[Skanky]

Sometimes it is fun even if you are a trooper. Mine shattered its left leg!

It was a legendary wrestler with all stats maxed. I didn't boost its damblock, though I probably should have.

I dunno, 8 is a pretty intense DAMBLOCK rating.  I once got webbed, paralyzed, and mobbed by three giant cave spiders at once, and left with a single bruise.  A giant once got so frustrated trying to at least ding me with his strength that he eventually just grabbed my head and gouged my eyes out (apparently, that's an event and not an attack.  No amount of DAMBLOCK can save you).  Not that that did anything useful, of course.  It just made me return the favor.

Can you equip items with dwarf companion?  If you can, that would have been a better solution.  Just give the colossus a bronze twohander (wielded in one hand, of course) and he'll carve his weight in flesh.  For added power, give him a bronze shield.

I can't believe I've reached the end of it. You helped reduce yesterday's long day of work. Should you find a dwarf (any) with what sounds like an interesting future, you could name it after me.

Maybe we could publish the first most "Geekish" book in the world. It would tell the history of Nist Akath and be illustrated in Ascii paintings only.

[Armok]

"The captains log; The History of Nist Akath, by Captain Ironblood"
I would buy it, probably.

Discourses on the 20th of Hematite
"You know, BurnedToast, my office is looking rather bare." mused Captain Ironblood.
"Yes, sir. You do have a chair, though." replied BurnedToast.
"I do, yes."
"And a desk, I would point out."
"This is true, too. But it isn't enough, BurnedToast!" exclaimed the Captain.
"I make do with just a chair..." said BurnedToast.
"Yes, but my office is what, three times the size of yours at least?"
"Er... yes. Yes it is."
"So it feels empty. Like it needs something... some... thing!"
"Such as, sir?"
"I have no idea. I'm leaving this in your capable hands! Find me what my heart desires, BurnedToast! I'm counting on you!"

The Captain moved to leave, and BurnedToast shook off his confusion.
"What? Why me, sir? And where will you be?"
"I won't lie, BurnedToast. I'll probably be drunk."
"Drunk?"
"Yes! Enjoy your evening, BurnedToast, I can't wait to see what you think I want!"

[Morty]

May I suggest chains to attract your future wife?
Perhaps a statue for your fallen colleagues...

[Akroma]

I suggest some statues, platin if avaiable

[Captain Mayday]

Captain's Log, 13th of Malachite.
The boy Scorpios expressed a desire today to follow in the military tradition of our fair fortress.
Having just reached adulthood, he is certainly entitled to this choice.

I have granted him armor and a shield, but I will allow him no weapon until he knows how to conduct himself in battle.

I already tried Black Bronze, which is his favourite.
