Maybe DorfQuest got its presentation arc a little earlier than DF.

Standing up from your impromptu prayer, and drying off your beard a bit. Eugh, it has not been this clean in years. It's gone all fluffy.
You feel compelled to study the engraving in closer detail.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is a masterful engraving of two shields. It is called the Redundancy of Writings. It is the Symbol of the dorfen goverment The Towers of Defending. It was engraved by legendary engraver Vucar Bitostlolor some twenty years ago. You've always admired the dorf's skills, but you kind of prefer hat racks rather than shields.

As an aside, you lean down and peer into the drain... The drain peers back. The Philosopher would have something deep and convoluted to say on this, you are sure. You will have to remember to ask him when you see him.

The glowing points disappear when you peer closer.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A few strings of coherent thought crash together like large blocks of stone, causing something not too dissimilar to cerebral activity under that plated balding dome you so vainly conceal with that bloody hat of yours.

Dorfs are attracted to booze.

Where there are dorfs, there is booze.

You like booze.

Find other dorfs, have big kegger party in dining room.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your brain practically glowing from the heat of intense thinking, you conclude that the call of the booze can not be denied. You set off your stumpy feet towards where your instincts point you and trundle aimlessly down the hallway.

examine vault

A cursory glance reveals that the Engraving of a Engraving of a dorf Engraving the Engraving of a Engraving of a dorf Engraving the Engraving does not in fact hide any hidden mechanisms that could unlock a vault in way shape or form.

Seeing the last few engraving the engravings of dorfs engraving requires the use of high quality lenses however.

The statue is even less interesting with its stylized depiction of a stout dorf. A mass produced cheap rock item to fill the corridors with gaudy line breaking so you can tell one area apart from the other.

It's also specially designed to point out the fact you used to live in a hole in the wall.

Well the obsidian in there must have quintupled your rent by now. You really hope you don't run into the tax collector.

Your keen dorfen senses lead you down several winding corridors to a odd little alcove of the fortress. You wonder where all the other dorfs are. But you are not surprised over the lack of friendly faces. You pretty much lived in a unused service area. Up until very recently.

Your nose detects the faint scent of various alcohols, just behind these strange notches in the wall.

You spot two bins by the other wall.

Down the gallery you see two levers. And a wooden door with a rock wall grate blocking it off.

You're starting to get fed up with this psuedo-puzzle bullshit. You're late to your hauling and lever pulling jobs.

[Dragooble]

pull microcline lever.

[Enzo]

Deconstruct fortification, continue following you dwarven-booze-radar.

[Techhead]

Wring out your soggy clothes.

[Cajoes]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It would appear these fortifications are not constructed. But rather carved straight from the rock. You idly wonder where the fort store their pickaxes. Also, they don't overlook a dark room or a night sky. There's something solid blocking them off. Why would someone wall up the other side of a fortification? This crapfort makes less and less sense as your sobrerity gauge rises. You fear it will revert into truly Cthulian dimensions should your booze meter reach nil.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In true dorfen spirit. You fling your might leverwards. The bars hindering your path retreats in disgust. Thou are victorious.

It appears the bases of these levers are engraved.

[Aqizzar]

Whats in da bins?


That's the most plausible depiction of a statue I've seen yet.

[LegoLord]

Pull the green lever.

[Techhead]

Open... the door.

[woose1]

No! Dig through the wall!
EDIT: Shit, I mean after you look in the bins. If there's a pickaxe. Yeah.

[zchris13]

Look at the engravings of fortifications on the walls. For you can see through fortifications, and determine the layer of rock on the other side, if it were a true fortification.

Pondering your next move you wring out your damp clothing articles into the bottle. As a afterthought you wring out the biscuit as well. You now have a Full bottle of Water.

Might be good to clean something with. You sure as hell don't plan to drink it. You know where it's been.

You pull a lever dorfwards. Blissfully ignoring the engraving at the bottom. ... Hm, doesn't seem to be doing anything.

*bridge lowered.*
GYAH MEIN EYES!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You blink blurrily at the brightly lit landscape out yonder. You can vaguely make out a group of dwarves around a cart. Your instincts tells you that it is laden with alcohol.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You take a peek into the bins before the brightness of the day star gives you a headache.

A few rounds of +copper crossbow bolts+ and a copper pickaxe. Sweet. Some git must have misplaced it with the crossbows. You call dibs, to no-one in particular.

[Dragooble]

equip pickaxe and throw your might fortificationwards
