Back . Hey, I'm still alive? Awesome.

You need to perma-cripple your avatars more often.   They seem to live longer.

Be warned, nothing stops them from dying of thirst. It was a 50% chance of him or Baldr dying on my turn. He happened to fight his way to the bucket faster.

Has the next person taken up the torch of Sparkgear yet?

[Demonic Spoon]

I messaged samus but he has yet to repsond, though his turn is nearly over someone else can take it if they like.

[Solarn]

I would, but I have to go to sleep. I'll take up my turn tomorrow then.

[Solarn]

Okay, so where's the save?

[Danarca]

Demonic you'll have to prepare for Sparkgear 6 btw

[darkflagrance]

If you haven't got the save yet, I think the latest is mine, in a post about a page back.

[Solarn]

Thanks. Beginning my turn now.

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

Why for Armok's blood-soaked beard is there magma in the overfortress? Why is there no way down to the underfortress? Why is the riverbed dry? Why are there a bunch of werewolves in cages around the entire fortress? Where are all the dwarves? Why are two different caravans stuck inside the fortress? Where has that damnable King sent me again?!

And why has a flock of geese settled right next to the magma line in the overfortress?

[Solarn]

This place is insane! I don't even know how I managed to get inside, but the entire place is under lockdown! Half the bridges and floodgates are not even properly labeled and there are random labels stuck in the middle of nowhere where there assumably once was something! This is a nightmare! I'm ordering our SOLE MINER to dig a new path to the outside, since I can't find the lever for the second drawbridge.

[Solarn]

So apparently there is a path outside, it's just unnecessarily long and convoluted. I'm still ordering that passage dug. Also, as the fortress is littered with the remnants of earlier stages of construction, I'm going to be tearing down everything in the overfortress that isn't currently in use and rearranging the entire setup to MAKE SOME DAMN SENSE.

[Demonic Spoon]

Most of the damn stuff was connected to levers in a lever room that is in the flooded part of the fortress.

[Solarn]

And I give up. I just got reminded that I need to go somewhere I really don't want to right now. The fortress is a mess, I tried to do something, anything with it, but thanks to the water, magma and stupid layout where the fortress under the tower can only be accessed via the other side of the map, I just spent two hours DIGGING OUT A TUNNEL AND SOME FARM PLOTS. TWO HOURS. And it's already 18:00 PM GMT. This fortress is insane.

[Demonic Spoon]

The dread fortress is victorious once more I see  .

[darkflagrance]

Somehow I suspect that ridiculous complexity and inefficiency are not a flaws, but rather features of succession fortresses.

[Demonic Spoon]

Yeah most fortresses get like that after a while, but if you want to see TRUE insanity check out boatmurdered:
