"Engraver has engraved a masterpiece!"



"Engraved on the wall is a masterfully designed image of elves."

I like this guy..... I need my engravers to start doing stuff like this, instead of the engravings of goblins running away...

On the Wall is a Masterfully engraved carving of Urist McHardcastle and Goblins. Urist McHardcastle is surrounded by the Goblins. The Golbins are stamping on Urist McHardcastle. Urist McHardcaste is laughing at the Goblins. The carving related to the prolonged and bloody death of Urist McHardcastle in the Fall of 1659, the Winter of 1659, and the Spring of 1660. On the engraving is an image of Cheese.

stack of 10 prepared dragonfly brains - I'm trying to imagine what's more funny: a dwarf popping a tiny dragonfly brain into his mouth for a snack, the butcher who actually prepared this feast, or the brave hunter who ventured out into the wilderness and returned with this bounty.

If that makes you sick, then this will make you vomit your +dwarven syrup roast+...
I had a weaponsmith, one Likat Wireflashed, who excitedly went into a fey mood gathering up 3 bars of aluminum and a short while later made a masterful spiked aluminum ball priced at 1,340,000 dwarfbucks.
After joyfully hopping about for a minute I looked at what he engraved...

"Engraved on the aluminum spiked ball is an image of a dwarf and an elf.
"The dwarf and elf are embracing."

...For such impudence I ordered him crushed by his own profane weapon and burned his corpse in magma.

Eeew~! Bestiality!

I bet he would've eventually engraved HFS doing unspeakable things to dwarves later had he lived.

And this is bad HOW? It would be like the second coming of Boatmurdered. Now, all that would need to be done to complete it would be the engravings of elephants...ah, the awesomeness that could have been!

From Mr. Welch's 1350 things he is not allowed to do in a RPG:
148. There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

My engravers tend to do "The image relates to the chopping off of the elf [name]'s 3rd toe in the battle of [name]" a lot. There's a lot of elf-killing engravings in my current fort. None as awesome as the burning one though. :(

It does help that I have 4 legendary engravers/masons running around smoothing and engraving _everything_. It's a goddamn pleasure to work in my construction halls, I tell you. If you don't mind the spiders.

The smaller ones - I wouldn't have my workers slave away near a GCS! (for very long, at least) So they just sting every now and then. Oh, and cover the entire floor in webs.
