[Aqizzar]

I can throw hadoukens at will huh?  Alright.

I hadouken my wound, thus obliterating it and returning my arm to normal status.  Yay computer logic.

[Nirur Torir]

I equip my artifact set.

By the way, am I a legendary leatherworker, a legendary bonecarver, or both?

Oh, and for aesthetics's sake:
On the armor is a picture of a kobold, a dwarf, and dwarves playing poker in dwarf leather.  The kobold is surrounded by the dwarves.  The dwarf is making a plaintive gesture.  The kobold is laughing.

Both. I believe I've found something worth making into a signature, thanks Frelock. 

From here on out, I'll stop trying to make the fortress semi-believable. I added too many empty or semi-useless rooms that take at least one turn to pass through, which isn't fun. Is there anything else that I can do to make it more fun/enjoyable?

[inaluct]

Some traps with vague hints might be good. Maybe a weapon trap with small protrusions jutting out from the floor, subtly giving the trap away?

For my action, I try to convince the wounded goblin to convert to the church of Euphorbiaceae. If it prays honestly, it will not only have a place in paradise, but it will also secure a special place in the afterlife as the First Convert of Inaluct, and therefore a place as a minor saint. It's holy cracked bones will be relics. Amen.

[andrea]

i meld the tiara with my head, just to be able to say that i am a scorpion king (a crown would have been better though)

[Nirur Torir]

Page two, and still only 5/7 turns posted. Bump, and I'll get started on writing the turn.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'll just go ahead and examine the long corridors.

[Nirur Torir]

Turn 15. I came, I saw, I wrote down what the die told me to write.

I want booze.

| Armok searches the dwarf’s corpse, hoping to find something to drink. He finds a half-empty flask, and swiftly quaffs the contents. He then throws the flask to the ground.

The artifacts must be equipped.

| Frelock wears his armor, puts the sword into a scabbard built into the shield, picks up the shield, and makes sure the crossbow is armed and easily accessable.

I’ll heal my wound with a hadouken

| Aqizzar, in a daze of pain, throws a hadouken at the source of his pain. The wound is cauterized, and the bleeding stops.

It's holy cracked bones will be relics. Amen.

| Inaulct preaches to the goblin. It weakly mutters a curse at Inaulct, “die painfully,” before falling unconscious. Clearly, it has seen the light!

I use the crown to become the scorpion king

| Andrea places the crown on his head, and feels strangely warm. He tries to remove the crown, but it is stuck. He feels that he can now command scorpions to do his bidding.

I’ll search the corridors.

| Sean looks around. He ran north at the T-junction after fleeing from the boulder, so he continues going north. He enters a fairly large room. There appears to be no other way into it, but it is quite tall ... Actually, there is no roof! Sean finds himself under starlight. There appear to be only a few stories of cave wall before it reaches the surface. Upon closer inspection, there are plants growing on the ground. He sees Sun Flowers, Long Land Grass, Delexian Wheat, and many other plants. Surely, this farm could feed an entire fortress indefinitely!

RTTAI(1): I practice my newfound skill on the dwarf who tried to kill us all!

| DF Newb angrily glares at the Captain who now appears to be sleeping. DF Newb feels a bit warm, but nothing happens.

[inaluct]

Hallelujah! The goblin has seeeeeen the light!

Anyway, I'm going to stand above the captain of the guard, waiting for him to wake up.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Ah, an uninteresting farm room. With some light. Purrfect. I search the walls for strange-looking or marked holes that seem to go deep into the rock.

[andrea]

itrain with the hammer, bashing random things

[Frelock]

I'll start sneaking around again, exploring this interesting place.

[Aqizzar]

I don't know how the fortress is laid out.  I'll go down the staircase, because surely in a Dwarf Fortress, down will have more Fortress.

[Armok]

We go looking for more booze in some other place.

[Nirur Torir]

Sorry for the recent sporadic updates, I'll try to get back to one turn a day.

[Nirur Torir]

Turn 16. If DF Newb doesn't respond by the next turn, I'll assume he doesn't want to play anymore, and his character will be up for grabs from a random passing forum reader. (Last Active:     Today at 06:44:27 PM)

Anyway, I'm going to stand above the captain of the guard, waiting for him to wake up.

| Inaulct walks over to the sleeping captain. He nearly slips on a puddle of roast syrup, but fails to trip over something that cannot possible exist.

| The only cracks in the wall are shallow.

itrain with the hammer, bashing random things

| Andrea begins swinging the hammer around randomly. In a half-crazed dance, he | smashes through a wall. He is now a novice hammerscorpionman, getting a +1 to hit bonus. | On the other side of the wall, Andrea finds a small dark tunnel.

I'll start sneaking around again, exploring this interesting place.

| Frelock sneakily opens the door to the north slightly, and slips through soundlessly. On the other side is a dwarf at a desk, writing things on paper. The dwarf is muttering complaints. Frelock sees a shiny object on the ground, and picks it up. It is | only a tiny bit of glass, and Frelock drops it again.

I'll go down the staircase, because surely in a Dwarf Fortress, down will have more Fortress.

| The only stairs in sight are up, leading towards the trade depot. Forgive me for naming the rooms confusingly. I should never play another text adventure game. Aqizzar carefully studies the stairs. The floor seems to have been recently made. Aqizzar hits it with a hadouken, and it shatters. The stairs continue downards, into a tomb. There is one casket here, and various shiny items are carefully arrayed on shelves.

We go looking for more booze in some other place.

| Armok searches the walls for booze. He finds a strange button that says “push me for a reward!” Armok pushes it. A sudden whizzing noise can be heard, and | Armok ducks. An arrow hits the wall where his head was, and sticks.

RTTAI(4-1=3): I begin running about, panicking.

| DF Newb begins screeching about how the undead are after his brains. The horse rears up, | but then calms down again.
