You should've gone to a map with no trees  . That way you would have to farm trees, as an extra challenge.

PS. Have you tried making it out of feather trees?

[Killas[SiN]]

...

My god,

That, good sir, is awesome!

[Itnetlolor]

Why thank you. Hopefully, this weekend I should be able to work on it again. Finally.






I hate my job. I'm currently asking whoever's playing to reassign me to a better one.

[roger123275]

Hang on... I just realised that everything killed by this thing wil have been...

Boatmurdered 

[Sensei]

*gasp*

He's right!

[Itnetlolor]

I didn't even notice that easter egg. On my own work if anything. Good job Roger!

I really gotta get back to work on this.

I'll see what I can do, expect something to come up tonight.

EDIT:
BTW, I think a true boatmurder would be if you get crushed and rubbed into the ground by the bottomside, while getting dragged by a grapple-ballista for miles. And be used as bait while everyone's fishing inside/above a magma pipe.

[Itnetlolor]

Speaking of Boatmurdered....

Spoiler: Y3S4: High Ate Us (click to show/hide)

I've decided we're going to suspend our construction of the ship for the meantime, and solely focus on our fortress at hand. We're losing surrounding resources (at a safe distance to obtain them), and we have much ore to process anyhow. Furthermore, we currently have issues with the locals in the area. We'll be expanding our military to be something rather useful. We'll try to process the ores into something we can fight and protect ourselves with. As well, we're going to manufacture ourselves some traps to make use of, despite the limited resources. We'll let them come to us, instead of us coming to them.

Something tells me this will work for our better. BTW, it's high time we work on our accomodations, seeing as we're stuck here for longer than I thought.

-------------

It seems Rigoth Onuldegel (MirroredGalley) has decided to work on something; as if he's possessed by a mysterious force... With occurances going on as they are, I'm not shocked. I've been hit with it too. Maybe it was an old friend.

Hmmm...

Well, That's... a thing. A... puzzlebox? Really? it's made of diorite, encrusted with diorite, and encircled with bands of chestnut, and there are three prickle berries upon it in diorite. Now if I'm not mistaken, my appraisal skill values this as junk only worth 4800☼. Worthless piece of-- :pats Rigoth on the head:.

Anyway, progress report. We have suspended construction o the Bloodfist in order to let the land grow out a bit, and in the meantime, I hired our engravers to make our living quarters a little more pleasant. So far, it looks nice. We also took the opportunity to install more tables and chairs, seeing as we have many complaints about such a lack. The dining room shall now be more suitable for numerous dwarves now. Speaking of suitable, and defense; as an order for protection, our hatchway to the surface is being covered right noe with a bunker. It should encourage some rangers to be trained, as well as force invaders to go through a gauntlet before reaching our food sources. If our guys won't balls up and defend for themseves, then at least build some gorram traps.

After the loss of our resident bear, I've decided a kennel should be in order as well to train more war pups to guard the hatch, or at least warn us in the future of any wrongdoings. Our sheriff can do so much.

Oh, do you remember that strange heat source I talked about ages ago? Well, I had the urge to explore it further, but from a different angle. I recall a silver wall was a bit warmer and maliable than the rest previously mined. I took the risk and broke it open. Lo and behold, there's a pool of magma inside. From the looks of it, it's not as dangerous as the pipe spotted way above. It's shallow, so I don't think we can get too much use out of it, but nonetheless, it looks safe enough to setup some sort of guardhouse. However, there is a minor issue, it seems to already have company. I decided to take liberty for the time being and seal it shut. We know of it now, but we are not ready whatsoever to take those beasties on. If I caught a good enough glimpse, there were about 5 imps and a man of fire, and a fire snake.

On my way out of that cave, I noticed a glint in the wall. More copper!!! And it seems more convenient to reach too. But right now, I have more important things to worry about.

DAMN!!! Another ambush! This time we learned of it through Imush Ducimigam (Workedgorged) screaming from across the land. I'm calling all dwarves to get inside, see what can be done to stand guard. It turns out I forgot to call off a zone for clearing. We're now down another woodsdwarf. As well, we lost Rigoth. Now he'll try possessing someone else to make puzzles.


It... it.. it, it is.... ... Useless... Milord, we have failed you. With the very last ounce of strength within me, I implore you to send in a rescue party, or a recovery party that can make this project live on. I was fortunate to have sealed off everything within the figurehead post of the ship. I doubt any land-bound blood-lusting invader would dare take on the challenge of climbing to such a height so precarious as that.

Please, send word to my old friend, Fikod "Scrooge" Kolemath (Wheeledbanded), that I am no more, and that I enjoyed her company. Knowing this could possibly happen, let her know that I wish her a happy life. As well, next time she gains the bravery to visit my grave, she'll gain the knowledge I did. My spirit will guide her. She'll have to do something about this.

We were Lucidinn the Sky of Diamonds, but we have lost our lusture. The notes I could gather within the time frame our within this capsule.

Let it be known that we have fallen during the Mid-Winter on the 29th of Moonstone, and with the last of my breath, the remainder of my existance, I fought off 3-6 more units. I don't recall them, for my eyes have covered with blood.

I'm in serious pain. My kidney is punctured. My hip is broken, as is my spirit. My head is in incredible pain. I have failed you milord, I don't believe we can last whatsoever. Zas, I failed you as your protecter, then again, you seemed safe still... happy, despite the fact that our halls will please Armok, due to the mass volume. I guess it's not a total loss.

Everyone has been broken except for Zas; that kid is indwarven. He'll make an excellent adventurer someday. He'll do us, and his father proud. His hunting blood, my inventiveness, what remains of our supplies. The ship will make for a fine hideout until you decide to continue our endeavor.

Milord, please take care of my cave falcon (our messenger); he's a dear friend. I'm sure she'll miss me. Let her know I put a nest atop the copper spire when I was observing. I'm sure she'd like it.

I'm... tired. I----


--Foreman, "Cid" Kalrethdakost

Bloody Hell


That screaming!!! I'm losing my will to live. My will to go on with this dump! I _+-=-=+_=-=.

_-+_=__=-=   =- -+_=_=--==-




ifond this not mistr Atheltathtat, which ithink is afunny nam becuz i remembur mister Cid teling mee it meens Ringplunged. Oh, he droped this.



Mister Cid is sleepy and covered in blud. Ill go find yu funy birdy. ----------Zas



....What's this? The letter wasn't sent? I thought I was going to die. Where's my bird? Where-- Okay, Zas has it, but he was asleep with it watching him. And... these notes! How much time passed? ... Okay, 14th OPAL?!! How long was I out? The halls are starting to fill with miasma, and it seems there's no point in waiting until the end of the season to send this tube.

I'll see what I can make use of with what remains... Lots, and lots of remains. I'll--

I'm running out of space on this sheet. I'm sending it as it is. Excuse the blood and vomit covering it. It should still be readable nonetheless. Oh, and this may not be easy on the eyes either, what I have made note of.

What in the name of-- How? *whimper* And how did he live?!?!!

Spoiler: ...Wow (click to show/hide)

Ironclad Cid (More like Ironskin. He destroyed a few gobbos and a human archer when it was finally his turn, and scared them off with only a broken hip and punctured kidney, which healed in a day.)

Those who remain in the fortress. (Look at the map for the remains of the fortress, and the other dwarves.)

And the possible ending stats. Possible, because we still have functioning people, and our lead-foreman is still alive.

I might render ol' Cid soon enough.

[Vieto]

wow. actually, that would be an interesting starting 7, what with the child and all.

[Itnetlolor]

wow. actually, that would be an interesting starting 7, what with the child and all.

Good point. I have just about everything to "Start anew".

And wouldn't you know, the leader since the beginning is still alive, and the ship is still afloat.

The original of originals is still around. Big problem though. We still have some KO's tantrumming in their sleep, just as well, the caverns are filled with miasma, and we lack a farmer/cook/brewer.

We can only hope reinforcements arrive soon. (Or a reclaim to suit such)

Should I reclaim if my 7 survive it?

If your Surviving 7 survive, you should continue. Albiet, you likely will have problems with migrants for a year or 2, but you can use that time to clean up.

Also, you should set up some traps for the goblins.

edit: also, reclaimers are all friends, which might become a problem later on.

Right. Don't want to replicate Boatmurdered unless I feel like draining the magma pipe next time.

[Rozenbuddy]

I've been reading this for a while and i have some questions (sorry if they've been answered!)
1. Will it fly?
2. If so, will it land?
3. If not, how will it get food/water?
4. What happens if you crash?
5. What will you do with it?

[Sensei]

No, no structure can fly or land or move, only pancake- and caveins are turned off to prevent that, so it's totally static. There's drawbridges connecting it to the nearby land, to simulate landing. When he's done, he will pretend it can fly (and post awesome pics). It's basically a big model though.

Also, why haven't you simply set up a total quarantine? In a year you could have done enough landscaping and wall building to never have to worry about goblins again. And yeah, I still think this warrants doing- abandon and reclaim to get more guys if you have to.

[Servant Corps]

But then anybody can go and pretend that they're doing cool stuff, even when they actually aren't doing so at all. That could lead to a lot of...rather strange stuff to occur...gameplay/story segregation FTL.

[eerr]

duuude....
make a large statue of bowser on the top deck.

also, make some obsidian-cast cannons.
