I see Morul the Paratrooper in the near future.

Orbital Insertion Trooper, more like.

[Da King]

Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die,
    He ain't gonna jump no more!

[Mephisto]

I thought about doing this ages ago, but I didn't think I would have quite enough free time. This is awesome. I doubt if my thread would have been anywhere near as entertaining.

(Been negligent with the log lately)

11th Hematite, 234, Early Summer

Morul has now spent enough time locked in the tank to become a legendary swimmer. There's another skill that will never get used. His military training is very slow going - the wild animals simply die too quickly. I think we'll need to try out the orcs.

26th Moonstone, 235, Early Winter

After devastating his second orc siege, Morul turned to the archery range and became a legendary marksdwarf. Hail Morul Cattenmat Nentukmerseth Deg - a legendary champion!

15th Limestone, 235, Early Autumn

After a good stretch of sparring with his fellow champions, Morul has reached legendary wrestler and done so without major injury to anyone else. We'll see if the pointy weapons fare as well. Morul is spending a bit more time chatting with his fortressmates, but is only at proficient in social skills. Maybe we should have worked at that one a bit more along the way?

[Derakon]

For the social skills, generally I find that making a 1x1 meeting area as the only "on break" area (no dining hall, no statue room, no zoo, and, if need be, no bedrooms) does well for getting dwarves to rank up their social skills. Just make certain there's always a handful of dwarves idling and it should be continuously populated.

[Martin]

I might need to take his bedrooms away (he has two - he and his wife each had one before they got married) - that's usually where he goes when he's on break. Remember, he dislikes intellectual conversations.

I just made him the village broker again. That'll help.

[Raz]

I think Morul shall go into history as the prime example of a Dwarven Champion.

All hail!

[Ubiq]

Couldn't you just put a statue in each bedroom and designate it as a sculpture garden?

[Boomer]

Haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone done "Morul of the Story" jokes yet? Cause we definitely could use some jokes about him being the Morul of the story.

Also, this equals every kind of awesome.

[TheDJ17]

And the Morul of the Story is "Overacheving is Hard."

[Leafsnail]

I'd say the moral of the story is that no matter how hard the journey, how difficult the quest, how impossible the mission, it's worth it if you get to throw an orc 155 tiles and splatter him against the wall at the end.

[Alrenous]

But if there isn't a wall at the end of Morul's journey, the orc will fly even further.

The trick is getting Morul to idle where other dwarves are idling. If you made the only meeting zone in the fortress be in Morul's bedroom, that would probably do the trick. Creative, and I wish I'd thought of it.

And that's what I just did. I'm going to be really suspicious if his wife gets pregnant after having 40-odd dwarves and pets there to observe.

They can get pregnant while leaving on full plate armor. They would do it in a quick, rough, bear hug way and it would probably be polite not to speculate whether it was sex or just a hug. Seriously... the armor, never, comes off. And they don't mind being in public 24/7... so no one would see anything new.
