Another one of Jewelettarette's chldren has gone fey!



I hope Oddom doesnt like shell!

Oh crap he does!

Spoiler: That does it!!! (click to show/hide)

So I used dwarf companion, because I cant ask for shell from traders, and I dont really trade anymore anyways, and turtles wont regenerate on my map for some reason (probably because their habitat has been burned down several dozen times)...so screw shell.

And while Im in Dwarf Companion I see that I can change the mood type.  I tried to change it to an Armorers mood, and make Oddom want a bunch of Adamantine.  It didnt seem to work.  Oddom made this instead...



It wasnt artifact armor, but Oddom still became a legendary Armorer for it.  So thats cool.  The Empress renamed him 'Who Two' in honor of Oddom's recently dead sibling.

Hmmm a ruby idol huh?  We have an artifact turtle shell idol of Armok in the lower temple altar, but we dont have anything up in the temple itself.  Rubies are the color of most creatures' blood, and would be very pleasing to the blood god.

So I decided to construct a platform in the temple from which to display this opulent idol.




Rubies are red
Elf blood is blue
Armok loves me
But Armok hates you

UNSPEAKABLE TRAGEDY!!!

Spoiler: Ill speak about it now... (click to show/hide)

While out looking for silk, the eldest son and heir of the Dungeon Master and the Court Musician was taken from us!!!



Holy shit!!!  The eldest son of Petbeard and Kurk Quarcaine may one day ride through here on a beak dog, attacking us all, brainwashed by savage goblins!!!

Either that....or he'll wind up getting tracked down and killed by an adventurer.  Or maybe the adventurer will ask Johann Schmidt to join him in his quest?

Who knows what future is in store for young Johann?  Either way, it probably will include early death.  A short but interesting life he will have.

Urist is appalled by the losses of such good Armok worshipers recently, and orders the bridges raised and Blockedlance sealed off from the outside world.

Who's Diary, Entry 2

Dear Diary,

It seems I am dead. Oh dear. On the bright side, my sibling shall surely carry out my plans for me, right? Now then, I shall find my way through this labrynth of an afterlife. There sure is a lot of blood here...

Who Two's Diary, Entry 1

Dear Diary,

Fuck that guy. My stupid brother wanted me to enact some sort of ritual to make him ascend to godhood or something like that. Well, now he's gone and died, so I guess that plan's out of the question. I guess I'll have to find something else to do with my immense power...

Moose's Diary, Entry 317

[An unintelligible page of scribbling, blood, and quarcain.]

Story is brilliant as ever, Gimp.
Once Blockedlance is finished do you think you'll start up another community fort?
Also, how many kids does Jeweletarette (did I spell that right? I really should've made it shorter. Still, it's a name worthy of a snotty, overcomplicated noble.) have now?

[Terrapin Jim]

If at all possible, could I have a dwarf? Nothing important, but hopefully something useful around the fortress? Like a random member of the seething masses, slave to the indomitable Lunatic-Empress. His/Her name would be Corcha. Thanks!   

No problem. 

Thanks!

Also:

Either way, it probably will include early death.  A short but interesting life he will have.

That seems to be a trend with Dwarfs from Blockedlance. 

[r3d5kull]

Not Johann, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[MrGimp]

Spring 261.



A great mystery has gripped the fortress...

Who IS this rotten corpse?



This mystery has caused many drunken fistfights as frustrated dwarves try to explain to each other who the dwarf is/was.


In other news, Urist has been keeping the Stonecutters busy deep under the earth.  They are digging deeper and deeper, in a maze-like morass of mining tunnels that spans several z-levels already.



The dwarves could not understand what she was digging for, as she didnt seem focused on any gems or metal veins.  If something valuable came along, she mined it out of course, but it was not her goal.  She constantly shifted the digging direction.  The Stonecutters never knew which way they would be mining until they got their daily digging orders from Baron von Montague.  It was as if the Empress was laying some kind of trap....some labyrinthine abyss from which even the bravest dwarven adventurers would never return.

[MrGimp]

Merchants came this year.  I dont know why.  We have no intention of opening our gates to anyone, else some goblin, or demon, or elf will barge through and take our precious children!

And of course, we are right.  Immediately following the caravan is a filthy green horde!



These merchants fight bravely, but they dont stand a chance.

At least all the goblins burn alive too.



Wondrous devastation....

[Cheddarius]

Burn! Burn!

[Ze Spy]

AOE flames much?

are you getting too sissy to Give Gobs Fireballs so they can burn themselves to death without any Casulaties?

[RavingManiac]

The FIREBREATH token gives both flame breath and fireballs. There is no way to have one without the other.

Making the goblins fire immune would help, though.

[CJ1145]

Too easy, Maniac. If they get fire, they have to learn to live with it.

[MrGimp]

The FIREBREATH token gives both flame breath and fireballs.

Well there are two firebreath tokens.  At least in 40d...havent modded the new DF yet.  But in the old one, you have firebreath which is actually fire balls, and then you have dragon firebreath which is what the goblins have right now.

EDIT - Elves in my game have regular firebreath, and I have seem them spew dragon fire every now and again. Its rare, but you might be right that the firebreath token gives both.

Too easy, Maniac. If they get fire, they have to learn to live with it.

Exactly.

I like that they burn themselves.  It fits the goblins stupid character.  Their gods have given them firebreath, but they're too brutish and oafish to know what to do with it.  And they're so aggressive that they'll even spit fire from the back of the squad out towards the enemy.  They'll spit fire even if half the squad is already engaged in close combat with the enemy.

Plus its funny when fire gets everywhere.

[Sonrah]

Like a few other people here apparently, i've joined the board to say this:

THIS IS A FUCKING AWESOME STORY

Seriously, i started playing DF because of boatmurdered. And I started building (somewhat useless) temples and sacrifice altars because of you.

Thanks
