In Adventure Mode:

Dwarf Speardwarf: I yield! I yield!
Dwarf Speardwarf has bled to death.

Same guy, both messages on screen at the same time.

He made his peace with his God(s)

Also, the log updates every time you move, not as it happens.

Except I was the reason he was bleeding out, and they were the only messages on the screen.

[pisskop]

You move approximately once every ten ticks, in the average unburdened character.  He said that stuff and died within about 10 clicks.

LOL @ Samuel Jackson and Damien's despised mother.

Interestingly, the log in stonesense updates as it happens, rather than when the in game one does. I'm not sure if that counts as a bug or a feature.

I'm watching my mechanic slowly carry a rock across the fort instead of building the mechanisms I desperately need, when my view is suddenly yanked back up to the bedroom level, where my weaponsmith has been possessed.

Well, at least I can get a decent weapon out of it. I go to the stocks and forbid all of my bars except for steel. He takes over the forge and I wait for him to go grab a steel bar to make a great artifact.

He just sits there.

Huh?

Oh no, don't tell me...

I check his preferences... He likes aluminum. *facepalm*

I'm going to get an artifact aluminum weapon. And being a possession, that's all I'll get.

Edit: Sosadnakas, "Ivoryenjoys", a[sic] aluminum spear. This is a aluminum spear. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality, It is studded with aluminum. This object menaces with spikes of rhyolite.

Not only is it a worthless waste of a mood, but it's also boring.

Lamest.

Artifact.

Evah.

No, the lamest artifact ever is a migrant soapmaker who arrived, possessed as soon as he could, and made me a leather amulet with cloth decorations, then remembered nothing.

Or the child who made a fabric bracelet. Great. I got a friendship-band-making kid. How is that artifact-worthy?

Plus someone I knew got not one, not two, but three goddamn crowns in the same fort. One of them was pretty spectacular though, menacing with spikes and bearing a picture of the latest enemy on it. But still... who needs artifact crowns?

...gods above, I wish dwarfs could wear some of the jewelry, honestly... It would be great to satisfy nobles in that way.

Ash* bracelet with carbachons of ash.  No engravings or depictions.  Worth 1200 urist.

You know what is pretty tough for me in adventure mode, this new version?  Night Horrors (Ñ).  Have consistently killed me or forced me into retreat (usually with grievous wounds while it murders the last of my companions).

This one wrecked my companions after we stumbled upon its lair.  I fled before he even finished with them.  Maybe Ill save it the trouble of tracking me down and kill myself now.

[khearn]

But when a soaper or a child gets taken by a mood, you don't expect anything useful from it. You know it will be crap, so getting a cloth bracelet or leather amulet is no letdown. Sure it's lame, but you knew it was going to be lame.

When a weaponsmith gets a mood, even a possession, you expect to get something useful, especially if you have some steel bars lying around. When I saw that it was my weaponsmith who got a mood, I hoped to get an artifact steel battle axe and a legendary weaponsmith. Instead I ended up with a tin-foil spear and a weaponsmith who is still just "skilled". :-P

I do imagine that the Soapmaker in question was a really annoying dwarf to migrate with. "Hey, I have this really amazing idea for an amulet... I keep dreaming of  of leather..."

...actually I guess not so much annoying as creepy. "You're not in what you might call a macabre state of mind, are you Urist? No? Gooood... Just checking. Chin up, mate, we'll get to the fort soon..."

[Max™]

I think that's supposed to be a butchers shop, and the fun of having yak parts come to life and attack you.

You, sir, are a winner. *clap, clap, clap*

Hah, forgot I posted that.

Sadly I recognized it from having done this... once...

...and then again shortly after...

and then again after building cage traps but forgetting to build cages...

and then again in a new fort.

*sigh*

Can't you at least force some dwarves to wear the crowns, though, by assigning it as equipment in military?

Yeah, yeah, I know 'steel helmets rule dawg', but I rather like the idea of my dwarves heroically storming out of the ground following their bone-crown-sporting Fearless Leader. 

[§k]

Jewelry is not included in military equippment. However, if a dwarf comes with a crown, and he has a chest in bedroom, he may store it there.

Besides, the baroness in my current fort wears a green tourmaline flask, which can be considered as a kind of decorative jewelry.

[Max™]

You can try forceequip i b m HD while you have the crown highlighted I think?

So I was doing fine, had begun to set up my main workshops, and created a bridge access to my fort so that I could prevent sieges (got burned by a siege on the last fort really quickly, since I had not yet focused on a military).  Well, I was getting continual commands that my expedition leader was cancelling orders, so finally I take a look.  I realize that I have created his room's access on the other side of the bridge.  So...I dig out a part of the wall so I can get him access...but yeah, the goblins figure that out really fast.  Bye bye fort.
