Strange moods ignore material usability.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

No deaths? Where's the fun in that?

Why am I so (un?)lucky to have no one die?

[webadict]

It's always interesting to have someone die or do something just for the purpose of doing it.

1st of Granite, 202.  Early Spring.
I'm somewhat confused about the state of affairs.  Thankfully the records are up to date. . . wait a minute! I have 2 obsidian stones!  I delegate 2 short swords to be made from the material.


9th of Granite.
That's odd, I can't seem to find the sto- oh there it is.

This leaves me with two choices, I can brave the magmaman and the 4 undead fireimps to get access to excellent sword making material and a means to punch through the aquifer without mechanisms.  Or I can play it safe sitting on cooked food and booze with wooden bolts to protect me.

. . . dwarfs never do things the easy way.


10th of Granite.
Nevermind.  I'll just dig to the side of the magma without breaching it and dig down beside it: Avoiding the aquifer and reaching the precious stone beneath.


24th of Granite.
Before I fill my moat with magma, I'll need to finish my wall to prevent the fireimps from swimming across to cause harm.


11th of Slate.
Our alcohol stockpiles were nearly depleted today.  I've told Kumil the chef to stop his foolin around and brew some booze.  Mistem and Urist have stopped training with the bow and now train with obsidian short swords.  I think I'll get some wooden ones from the elfs before any accidents happen. . .


15th of Slate.
Construction has started on an obsidian bridge on the west side.


17th of Slate.
Migrants have arrived.  Our population now rests, at 20.  Just enough for a sheriff.  The last immigrant can be the sheriff, the slow bugger.  I don't beleave they've brought a child along. . . but they did.


2nd of Felsite.
No elfs?  Odd.  Our defense squad now comprises of 3 obsidian swordsmen with bone armor and 3 unarmed marksdwarfs, (the kids mother among them) they currently don't have any ammo as most of the wood is going towards the wall or more beds for all these migrants.


15th of Felsite.
No thiefs no undead fish attacking no undead fire imps and no goblins.  All is well and progress on the wall continues, mechanisms are being built for the draw-bridge and a magma channel is being dug out for an eventual metal industry.


2nd of Hematite, 202, Early Summer.
Construction of large scale food production is nearly complete.  This will be necessary for the hoards of immigrants we seem to be getting to such a barren wasteland.  I've asked for a location check on all the undead.  They seem to be keeping their distance still.


3rd of Hematite.
The other two swordsmen in training seem to be shunning the other guy and not letting him get any action in.  I've begun a rotation.  1 swordsdwarf and 1 marksdwarf on duty at all times.  The rest can train. 


7th of Hematite.

The miner who was digging the channel for the magma pipe for the furnace has told me the stone is damp.  Of course it's going to be damp!  It's under the aquifer.  I told him to keep digging.  He comes back and starts telling me it's flooding.  Balls.  I had to seal off the stairs with obsidian and dig down another floor and start from there.


12th of Hematite.
Ok we're another floor down from where the last flood started.  My miner has again found wet stone.  I've told him to dig it again!  No flooding this time.  I refuse to abandon the riches to be had with a metal industry over some trivial flooding.


15th of Hematite.
The new sheriff isn't satisfied with his "meager quarters"  I've told the mason to give him a rough obsidian floor.  Maybe that will appease the sheriff.


24th of Hematite.
A road out of the ashlands is halfway done.  The amount of work 16 people can do when you don't haft to worry about paying them is astounding!  On a more serious note.  The sheriff is requesting an office.  I think I can whip something up.


28th of Hematite.
Theres a serious lack of doors.  The carpenter is to make doors until I say stop.


5th Malachite.
The only piece of material I need to construct a well is a rope or chain.  I've no iron and no pigtails. 


7th of Malachite
No Migrants this season.  Good.


5th of Galena.
Preparation for the magma channel is nearly complete.  All thats left is to send the sucker down to release the magma.  It worries be that we don't have magma safe material to block off the entry point from undead fire imps.  But weapon traps at the access point will haft to suffice.


8th of Galena.
We've walled off the access points to the magma channel as smoke billows from the ports in the floor from where we'll station our industry.  If I'm to escape this place I'll need to produce more than stone trade goods.


20th of Galena.
I've turned the dry moat into a magma moat.


13th of Limestone, 202, Early Autumn.
The hamlet liaison and trade caravan has arrived today.  I'm going to enjoy telling the scum that I won't be buying his ridiculously overpriced gabro.  I'll be stocking up on food and booze and especially seeds as all we have are plump helmets and dimple cups.  I'd like to get my hands on an anvil and a chain for a well if possible. . . ack.  Wait a minute!  I've got nothing TO trade!  To hell with them.  He mocked me and questioned where I was fit to run a fortress.  "If you manage to accomplish anything next year, we'll pay highly for tanned hides armor and goblets."


1st of Sandstone.
Mistem Shegetbim has had a sparring accident, his arm was broken.  Sparring has been put on hold until he recovers, maybe that'll put some caution into their practice.


20th of Sandstone.
In the end, our trade was quite meager.  We've secured ourselves some meat and booze and some thread to spin into rope but thats all.  Oh I nearly forgot.  We've gotten another dog to try and repopulate the canine population here.


23rd of Sandstone.
Instead of training his archery skills the Sheriff Athel decided to spar with the swordsmen.  He's in his room now with a grotesk chest wound - his lung punctured.  I wonder when he'll be back to whatever duties he thought he handled.


26th of Timber.
I've come to a sobering discovery.  The trees in this wasteland won't be growing back.  As I cut deeper and deeper into this non-renewable resource I begin to look more and more towards stone as an alternative.


1st of Moonstone, 202, Early Winter.
The moat is filled with magma, the wooden wall nearly encircles the entire fortress, the drawbridge rigged to be raised and now I've delegated an outer ring of cage traps to be built.


3rd of Moonstone.
Geez, we forgot about the caged dog, I told kib to let him out.  He walks into the cage room, gets right next to the cage, leans over to let the dog out and says "you know what?  I'm hungry"  and goes for a bite to eat first.


11th of Moonstone.
Our numbers keep the undead at bay, but dobar the fisher decided to brave the river.  The skeleton sturgeons surrounded him and we heard him crying for help from the fort.  2 swordsdwarfs and 2 marksdwarfs went to his aid.  4 skeletal fish were destroyed and Catten the swordsdwarf suffered a cracked skull.  On their return jounrey they caught a thief and ventilated him.


20th of Moonstone.
Dobars calling for help again as he fishes.  I'm wondering if he's worth keeping around. . . I send out the militia anyway.


21st of Moonstone.
The dog has finally been let out of its cage.  To my delight its a female.  We'll have dog pups in no time.


9th of Opal
The wall is complete.


16th of Opal
Rejoice, the marksdwarf Atis has given birth to a baby girl.  If I was born here I would of grown up to become a hammerer.


14th of Obsidian.
An execution tower is nearly completed the gangplank is undergoing delays as the workers are afraid of the magma, (and the fireimps) below.


1st of Granite.
Another year over, not a single casualty.  However, I've failed to secure the fortress with an anvil and the start of a metal industry.  I have however increased fortress defenses with the training of a small militia and the completing of the wall.  Not to mention a ring of cage traps.

Population:21
Created Wealth: 21 614

[webadict]

Now, I feel stupid, because it feels like I accomplished too much during this year. My total created wealth is 140,000...

I'll post my happenings in a bit.

As soon as I figure out how to post images. Which I might have too many of. Oh well.

[illiterate]

what's wrong with doing too much?

as long as you tell the story well, you've got a good shot at being picked.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Granite 1: Entrance...

Bravechannel? Kind of ironic, seeing as how we're hiding behind one. I, Tireon Kolonul, plan to make this pit of death into something inhabitable... Or, failing that, I plan to make us live for as long as possible in this uninhabitable wasteland. Of the original 7 settlers, I've managed to find one still alive, calling himself Sazir, and apparently taking half of the fort as his bedroom.

And all of the fort as his dining room

How dare he think my bedroom is his dining room!

We have little to no supplies, food, and drinks. Our remaining meat shields laborers are as follows:

So far we have 1 crazed survivor, 2 useful dwarves (me and the chef), 2 wrestlers that will only get themselves killed, a fish cleaner (AKA slacker), 2 woodcutters (amazingly, there are still trees despite the millions of tons of ash outside), and 1 miner...

My overall assessment is that we are all horribly, horribly screwed.

I have organized my plans into several, smaller, more hopeless plans:
First, I'm making Plan 'Stop the Crazy Farmer.' This will be implemented right away. I will still allow him the freedom to do a lot as he pleases, as he is somewhat of a figure/lunatic.
I have begun construction on Plan 'No More Aquifer.' Hopefully, this will make mining for stone possible.
Also, note that Plan 'Make Everything Better' has also been started and Plans 'Trading Goods,' 'Expanded Farming,' and 'Advanced Protection' are to come.

Granite 4
The fish cleaner has taken to fishing in the aquifer. He has probably lost his mind. The cat continuously complains about missing limbs and phantom pains.

Granite 22
The layout of the fortress has caused unknown amounts of stress upon these dwarves' psyches. The Chef is refusing to brew up more drinks... This is bad. We have fifteen million turtles strewn about the fortress as food. We have gotten to Phase Two of 'No More Aquifer. Phase Three will begin shortly.

Slate 9
Phase Three of 'No More Aquifer' is complete without Phase Two being complete. Just discovered that the crazed lone survivor had more rooms than necessary. He will be dealt with swiftly.

Slate 17
Immigration Services has sent some of their outcasts to assist our destitution. Why, oh why... We've received a Gem Setter, Peasant, Miller, Bone Carver, Metalcrafter, another Peasant, Gem Cutter, Leatherworker, yet another Peasant, Stoneworker, a... another Peasant, a Child, and...another Child.

So, overall, we received one Mason, 10 almost useless dwarves, and 2 extra mouths to feed.

Slate 22
One of the new Peasants has been taken by a mood... He will likely go insane. Or maybe not. He wants rocks and logs. That's fairly easy to obtain.

Slate 26

Trouble's a-brewing... This is not good... Why do they have to be ZOMBIES?!? That's right. Three zombie imps and a zombie sturgeon (he's hiding in the corner) are out to kill every last one of us.

Felsite 4
We are saved! A Woodcutter managed to kill off two of the zombie imps, and the other Woodcutter killed the last one, while the dog savior Melbilbothon managed to kill the zombie sturgeon on its own. Miraculously, no one was killed, though the dog was slightly injured.

Also

Since when can flies survive magma

Felsite 13
After having all the stone locked behind doors, the Peasant has begun construction.

Felsite 17
Numgemsit... the Obsidian Amulet is complete... It's worth more than the whole fortress, sadly enough.

Felsite 23
I have bad news. We lost one of our Miners in a magma accident. He was a valiant Miner...

On the other hand, Plan 'No More Aquifer' is almost complete!

Hematite 3
...Oh dear god. Why did I try! The aquifer has been nulled... But things went horribly wrong.

I seemed to have forgotten how magma engineering works! Closing a door on magma melts the door. This will be noted for future decisions. As well as water usage.

A new plan has been added: Plan 'Fix The Screw-up!' which is now half the previous plan's progress due to the now burning pick... and, less importantly, Miner.

Malachite 14
Success! The Aquifer has been punctured! Excavation will begin soon!


Malachite 19
Congratulations, boys... We've got rock.

It took 4 months, 1 dwarf, a pickaxe, and pointless screw-ups, but it's done! Exploratory mining, go!

Not only have we finally gotten to stone, but we now have magma buildings up and running. Or we will eventually.

Malachite 23
Despite all the new renovations, no new migrants appeared. Well, we're just fine and dandy without them!  ...jerks.

Galena 10
Well, all is now slightly well in the fortress. Despite the unnerving fact that the CHILDREN (Who, by the way, are brothers, I just found out) have greater social skills than any of the adults, AND are more powerful, they have not been completely useless. They now gather plants and converse with passerbyers, occasionally pulling levers and deconstructing. Many new bedrooms have been built on the lower floors. As per the Survivor's orders, no one has touched this 'Torso Dog''s memorial, despite all conventional knowledge. Plans are being made to give the dead a proper tomb... I find staring at the coffins in the food stockpile a little creepy... Especially since all the zombies are around and what-not.

So far, almost all Plans have been finished (Plan Advanced Protection is still in the works...)

Galena 25
The Leatherworker has been possessed. I've got five Dwarfins on that she loses her mind, as she wants some leather and some cut gems... To make what, I have no clue, but I hope she dies a horrible death. I dunno where she's gonna get leather.

Limestone 15
Despite my wanting to keep the Leatherworker, I have already set-up precautions to her insanity. Unfortunately, she was married to the Carpenter.

But, as you can see, the death of his wife won't phase him. So, let's get killing!

Limestone 17
A caravan has arrived!

Limestone 20
I think I have gotten the materials needed for the Leatherworker's demands. It's rather unfortunate I couldn't use my drowning room... Because it was totally worth the BLACK DIAMONDS AND LEATHER!!! We've also gained quite a few animals. The Survivor said they had animals when they first stopped here. Him and his crazy stories. Just like that fireman he claims to have killed single-handedly.

Whatever.

We've also received some more seeds for Pig Tails and Cave Wheat. This should help with the lack of bags and more diverse selection of alcohol. We finally have an anvil. We've gotten some leather for some armor. We've got some cloth for some new clothes in the near future. And a couple of gems. 
Overall, this has been very fortunate. Hilariously, the Mason (now Trader) gained a bunch of trade experience from his experience trading.

Limestone 25
Another artifact has been created, Rodimbavast Zikeltotmon (cow leather shield), and I seem to have found a pattern in them. It seems that every artifact is always worth at least twice of what the FORTRESS itself is worth. Good news is that this artifact is useful... when we get an elite fighter. Bad news is that the Leatherworker gained absolutely zero experience. I would rather have wanted to test my room... Oh well. Back to work everyone!

Asked for a bunch of stuff I figured we'd need next year. Go me!

Sandstone 13
Our leader (I mean the Survivor, as he thinks he is more suitable for dealing with other people, which, though I hate to admit, is slightly true) has taken it upon himself to do everything BUT conduct a simple meeting with the trade liaison. And when I tell him that 'No, you can't plant seeds, you need to meet with the liaison. I don't care if that log isn't in the stockpile. No, we already have Carpenters making beds! Now, you're tired??? After all that work I told you NOT to do?' If it weren't for him being so useful otherwise, he'd be choking on water.

...No migrants... again. Do they hate us?

I've noticed that our trees don't grow back when cut down. So, I've asked for tower-cap logs. They're at 170% of the price, but it's better than nothing. I plan to make prepared food for the traders next time they come, as they'll pay almost twice the price.

Timber 16
Because of the needed space for more food, I have added another layer to the food stockpile. All the graves have been moved to a more suitable position. I have ordered more mining for stone, as our wood will become less and less with time. I have made more room (and far better than the barbaric dwellings we had before) and am having them furnished. The dining room is much improved, with statues of me in each corner. The farms have been expanded. As for Plan 'Advanced Protection,' well...

It's not much, but it'll protect us from a small siege or ambush. I suspect the Elves may be against us, as I didn't see their traders this year, and the goblins have never been on our side. I have considered filling the moat with magma or water, but there seems little point, as nothing can escape the moat anyhow, and anything that can fly will just get over it.

Timber 20

...Kid's dead. Luckily, I convinced him that the Chestnut Table wasn't even in a room, at which he immediately stopped partying. Yes... children are so easily misled.

Moonstone 9
Woodcutter has been taken by an odd mood. And he's taken over... the leather works? Hm... odd. Well, let's hope he's a better leather worker than the possessed one. He wants some leather, rock blocks, logs, and shells. We've got everything but the blocks, so I THINK we'll be fine.

Moonstone 15
The Woodcutter finally got his materials.

Also, the other Woodcutter started a party... I just don't get why they think they have time.

Moonstone 18
Oh... oh god. Why me? Not only did the Woodcutter claim various material we could have used productively, but he also made...

He didn't even bother to make a left one!!! And he's now a legendary TANNER!!! WHY?!?! He used THREE pieces of leather, ROCK BLOCKS, WOOD, AND SOME SHELL! That's enough for like three sets of gloves!

Opal 1
I have taken it upon myself to raise morale of my fellow dwarves, and have so begun construction on an additional layer of what the Survivor calls Torso Dog Memorial. The stories he recounts about this dog are outrageous and fluctuate wildly. But, the other dwarves find them amusing and we will add another layer to it, in this dog's memory.

Opal 9
Zombie Imp attacks. Impslayer rockets him into lava, where his dead corpse now lies.

Opal 18
Well, what do you know? The Leatherworker had a baby boy! Back to work, slave!

Opal 28
The additions to Torso Dog Memorial are finished! There is now one extra level with alunite floors and obsidian walls. I also added a missing wall on the floor below. This shall surely raise our hopes!

Obsidian 6
Tanner is knocked unconscious for no reason... Odd. Oh my god! His left eye is gone! What happened?!?

I think he used his eye to make that mitten.

Obsidian 10
Party at the cage. You coming? I'll let it go because these dwarves worked hard this year and need a break.

Haha. Cute. A dwarf sleeping in his parents' bed even though his room is across the hall...


Also, I've discovered a bug in the magma glass smelter. Instead of repeating a task until it can't, it repeats by looping the tasks over and over again. Odd. Maybe this is new.

On another note, the Gem Setter just had a baby girl! Well, dangnabbit, why isn't everyone partying?!?

Oh right. We are!


Obsidian 16
The Tanner just threw a party in the dining room... Even though there's one at the cage. I think it's now a contest to see how many people come to theirs.

Obsidian 18
The table party already has 4 and the cage party has 2.

Obsidian 22
The table party attracted the only other guest at the cage party, as well as another guest. 1 to 6.

I've decided to give Sazir a tomb in Torso Dog Memorial. It'd be his greatest wish to be buried with his most beloved story. All the other dwarves are jealous, but this shall now be saved for our most accomplished and famous dwarves. I might give Impslayer his tomb here, in time.
This is the second level of Torso Dog Memorial.


Granite 1
Spring has finally arrived. There's still some parties going on, and I'll have to stop those soon. Hopefully, I might step down and go about farming the fields, making some obsidian doors, and spinning some thread... and sewing. Don't think me one of those pansy Elves that never show their faces here. No way. I just think clothing might raise morale in this fortress. It might be a while before I can start making some clothes, but I wanna do it some day.

I've got one of the Woodcutter's making glass toys, and the Chef is now a full-time cook. I've told my successor what to make for next year's trade caravan. Well, I'm going to build a Loom and a Clothier's Shop. It was fun.

Summary: Woodcutter becomes Legendary Tanner by stabbing his eye out and making an artifact mitten. Now with burning miner and magma flies! Go me!

23 dwarves (19 adults, 2 children, 2 babies)
140,000 174,220 Created Wealth. Wow. (To be fair, about 60% of that is artifact)

EDIT: Here's a map: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-3681-bravechannel

[Qloos]

As it seems to be the trend:  Everyone should upload their map to maparchieve so we can really get a feel for the variety from the different players styles.

[webadict]

I forgot to upload the bottom tunnel, and I accidentally uploaded to far up. Oh well. I've posted some good POI's

[Grath]

Also, I've discovered a bug in the magma glass smelter. Instead of repeating a task until it can't, it repeats by looping the tasks over and over again. Odd. Maybe this is new.

Not a bug. It's been like that since I've been playing DF, so ~3-4 releases (not counting letter-change releases)

[webadict]

Is it only in the Magma Glass Smelter, or is it everything? Because that didn't happen in the regular glass furnace in 40c

[Grath]

What did you use the regular glass furnace for? It's been in every workshop I've used. Mason, Carpentry, Crafts, Forges, Smelters... Never used regular glass furnaces. My forts are not (always) made of trees so I don't waste wood like that.

Log of Thorin Miner:

Granite 1st: I shouldn’t be leading, but the promised leader the mountain homes mentioned has yet to arrive. I shouldn’t even be in this hellhole. I’m a miner and I’ve yet to touch a single stone due to a blasted aquifer. But I have plans about that. If I dig close enough to the magma vent I can bypass the aquifer and reach the blessed stone. Yes I’d better get to work.

Granite 5th: The other dwarves are complaining about a zombie pike. Can’t they see I’m busy mining.

Granite 8th Apparently some sort of dog killed the fish. Good now no one will bother me.

Granite13th I’ve reached the precious stone I’ve been waiting for. The woodcutters kept pestering me about not having any work, so I told them to take some initiative and cut down a few of the hundreds of trees outside, and let me keep mining.

Slate 10th Not only do the other dwarves pester me their idiots as well. A bunch of dwarves got trapped because they couldn’t figure out how to walk up a ramp. I took some time to carve stairs into the soil, time in which I could be carving out stone,

Log of Linthar, metalcrafter

Slate 17th Early morning:  I have arrived at Bravechannels, only two months late, ready to assume leadership and continue bringing the fortress down the path to greatness. In fact I see a dwarf coming out to greet my now.

Slate 17th Evening: I have just finished my tour of the fortress, and I can not think of a more miserable area. The  fortress is built in the soil not the rock like any proper dwarf would live. Speaking of rock, the only path down to it, is a torturous path, narrow and scorching hot, on the edge of a magma pipe. The fortress proper is tiny, far to small to occupy the now 20 dwarves living here.
   Of course this is not the only problem. I’m a metalcrafter. Bravechannels has no anvils, no smelters, no metal, not even a single piece of ore. Oh and the best part is that it’s all located in a scorched wasteland populated by zombies. Did I mention that what passes for a military here are wrestlers, the single least useful technique for fighting zombies. 
   At least I can solve a few of these problems. The wrestlers have been given obsidian swords. And since I have nothing better to do, I’m going to be overseeing the construction of a proper path through the aquifer, no 5 foot wide corridors, but a giant hole sealed in stone. But for that I’ll need pumps, and for pumps I’ll need power, so its time to build some windmills.


Felsite 9th: I now known how it was decided which dwarves would enter the military. The two dumbest ones were picked. How else can you explain a fatal sparring accident a mere two weeks after being given proper weapons. Idiots.

Felsite 20th: Progress is going to slow on the windmills. I’m assigning every spare dwarf to the project.

Malachite 14th: The windmill tower is nearly complete. However the promised human caravan never arrived, and with them missing are any anvils they may have brought with them.

Limestone 10th:The windmill tower is complete, and as if to celebrate the dwarven caravan has finally arrive. There prices were absurd but I have gotten an all important anvil. If only the miners had found a single piece of ore I’d be happy.

 
Sandstone 10th: I have confirmed that the windmills can power working pumps. I have also confirmed that no one in this fortress knows how to read a blueprint. Otherwise the first pump wouldn’t have been installed properly, instead of almost flooding the entire room it was put in.


Sandstone 22nd: I have received reports that 8 migrants have arrived, but I’m to busy to pay any attention. Since everyone else is an imbecile, I have constructed the first pump personally, it will take several more before the aquifer is sufficiently drained to start construction, but it’s an start. I’ve also drawn up plans for a magma works to use the anvil we finally received.

Timber 10th. The glassmaker has been possessed by some sort of demon, and is now running around demanding raw green glass. I’ve had to take time out of working on the aquifer, to get dwarves to make a bag, fill the bag with sand, burn a log into charcoal since the magma works are still being constructed, turn the sand into glass, and repeat the entire process since the demon wanted two pieces.

Moonstone 19th: The glass worker has finally started constructing his mysterious artifact, which leaves me free to go back to yelling at the dwarves who keep refusing to construct walls the second the water reaches above their feet.

Moonstone 22nd The first segment of the wall is finally constructed, after a mere month of yelling.

Moonstone 23rd:The glassworker has finished his work. It’s a glass grate. I repeat it’s a grate. This is what I get after spending a month trying to get the materials together. .


Opal 11th: I have just received the first piece of good news I've gotten in months, the final channel in the magma works has been dug and we need only wait for sufficient magma to accumulate before the forges are operational.


Obsidian 15th: Now an craftsdwarf has entered some sort of strange mood. At least this one is capable of getting everything he needs himself.

Obsidian 22nd The strange mood is finished, Bravechannels now possesses an entirely useless obsidian ring.


Granite 1st: The year has come to a close. Work on the aquifer is still in progress because of a continued fear of 6 inch deep water. I’m considering turning this fort over to another leader, and awaiting some metal to work with. Either way I’m going to take a brief break from writing this.

Population: 27
Wealth: 52179
Map link

OOC: This was my first time playing on a map with an aquifer, and I got a little obsessed with trying to pierce it with pumps, even though that method was unneccessay. As a result I didn't do a lot with the rest of the fort.

[webadict]

You really hated that aquifer, didn't you?

[Snuffs]

Real life got in the way, and so I had to go with a pretty lame turn with no narrative write-up. 

Population: 17
Wealth: 81213
Summary: Tower of doom.  Culling of pet-owners for lame leather artifact.  Culling of half fortress population just because.
Map: Will upload as soon as I get my DFMA account up and running.

...Yeah, I went a little crazy at the end.  I doubt anyone will want to play this fortress, since the only useful dwarves left are in the process of getting massacred by the tantruming dwarves who lost friends and spouses.
