[Encased in burning magma]

I recently discovered some underwater adamantine, collapsed the upper caverns on it, and dug it up.
Had a few dead thanks to the inhabitants, but then again my axedwarves took the amusing habit of cutting everything in half at the first strike, without pausing.


One of my dwarves immediatly entered a secretive mood. Was it the armorsmith? Was it the weaponsmith? Was I in for some awesome artifacts? Nope...
The engraver, Zon Crevicecraft, claimed a workshop, and then...
Guess what happened to this awesome-axedwarves-surrounded adamantine?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That's it.

Also, it is worth a little over 600 000, more than 3 times the worth of my fort. And no way to set it in the living room or anything...

There is a very simple display case mod somewhere in the modding forum.  It just makes a building out of any object, so you can stick those worthless crafts somewhere to raise value and maybe give thoughts from admiring it. 

Hmm, or drop it outside somewhere, wait for it to get stolen and see if every kobold in the world to descend upon the fort looking for more shineys

Interesting.

IIRC, they just come after 3 stolen items, no?

[Snook]

Omeredim "Greennessray," a maple earring. Worth 4800 DB.

"This is a maple earring. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of maple and diorite. It menaces with spikes of alder."

And it was a possession, so I didn't even get a legendary dwarf. :/ Useless haulers!

[Daetrin]

I just had a weaponcrafter mood, pick up some adamantine...

...and out comes an adamantine pick.

Well I can always put it in a weapon trap.

[Ricky]

my guys made 

Code: [Select]

bloodstone hatch cover.. :| "lecadushil 'the clean ice' (what the hell?)"

"this is a bloodstone hatch cover all craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. on the item is an image of "the clean ice (sigh..)" the bloodstone hatch cover in bloodstone

fail :L not even a legendary worth 4800

then my noobs made a querns (2400) and a millstone 30kish (was lost to crash

but the new item my noobs made was a magnetite statue it rules though
 this is a magnetite statue of zasit furpulleys. all ... quality zasit furpulleys is surrounded by dwarves
the artwork relates to the ascension of the dwarf zasit furpulleys to the position of king of the legendary helms in year 1

it is studded with iron and encircled with bands of magnetite. on the item is an image of a toads in birch (what in the hell?!)

on another region folder a guy made a leather flute (creepy) worthless though

Both lame and awesome at the same time:

Ast Shorastkir, Potash Maker has created K¡ddirbukŠt, a giant cave spider silk loincloth!
"The Ardent Quickness" -- spider silk loincloth encrusted with obsidian, decorated with turtle shell and obsidian, and an image of three toy axes made in spider silk.

Worst.  Underwear.  Ever.

The next fey mood item?
Fikod Monangkol, Lye Maker has created ¡kthagnikuz, a obsidian ring!
"The Squeezing pride" -- an obsidian ring that features not one, but two images of the "The Ardent Quickness", one in obsidian, one in steel.

[Puglin]

Okay. How's this. My last fort, one dwarf made a dog-leather shoe (I forget what it was named. Let's call it Fred) which menaced with spikes of... dog leather. Adorned with rings of... dog leather. On it was an image of a dog.

In dog leather.

Then another guy made a Fine Pewter shoe-- just the one, mind-- which had turtle shell and some agates on it. Holy crap, I thought. Two artifact shoes! Can you imagine the zaniness of a dwarf with mismatching artifact shoes?!

*A Bonobo has stolen Fred!*

Then the miner wearing the pewter shoe (WHY WOULD YOU WEAR A PEWTER SHOE?) lost it into a chasm when he fell to his death.
I swear he did it on purpose, just to shit me.

 

[Labhras]

My dog that died recently was named Fred

[Burnt Pies]

Was he stolen by a Bonobo?

[Labhras]

Nah, she had a stroke.

[Puglin]

...

Awkwarrrd...

[Lupusater]

Fresh one: a 2400 worth Alunite bracelet with an image of itself as the only decoration. Only good thing I got from this is a legendary stonecrafter, who was previously a lye maker.

[Quadricwan]

Since having my first strange mood result in "The National Sour Pears," a microcline weapon rack (and worth very little as far as artifacts go), my subsequent 5 artifacts (all MUCH more valuable) have all been depictions of the first crappy artifact and its (dead) creator. 

Somehow, this poorly named, reasonably lame artifact has gone on to become a symbol for my people.

[ChiliFriez]

My bookkeeper/mechanic just finished an artifact mechanism........ It's literally worth nothing..... On the plus side, it is very "gneiss"
