I'm currently Rip-And-Tearing my way through a goblin dark fortress in search of an artifact iron greataxe and breastplate I saw in Legends mode. Evidently they are both stored in a structure called The Vile Tombs somewhere in the fortress, but I'm not sure where to even look for that.
Does anybody know whereabouts you might find a Tomb within a goblin dark fortress? It wasn't in the main tower or the prison. All I've found on the surface so far are Taverns/Inns (aside from the ubiquitous watchtowers and trenches, of course). Would it be underground near the troll/beak dog pits? I know some of the work pits have coffins and slabs in them, but I don't think those qualify as "Tombs". I believe there's also a Catacombs structure somewhere, which I also can't find. Would tombs be connected to that? If that's the case, maybe I should look for the local temple...
Anyway, I've been playing as a Fist of Poetleaf, a dwarf-sized necromancer experiment with mandibles and a stinger. The mandibles are kind of disappointing in combat since their bites can't latch on, but the stinger is amazing! It lands deadly or debilitating hits more consistently than most weapons and shreds armor like nobody's business, yet its attacks are flagged as 'kicks', meaning they don't escalate fights beyond "brawl". No idea if the venom does anything, not that anyone survives long enough for that to matter.
This dark fortress, Menacesteals, had a population of about 14,000 when I started (according to Legends Browser). My kill count is around 2,100 so far. So that's like, what, 15% of the population I've killed? I've reached legendary skill as a miner, but the only mineral I've mined is the bones of my enemies.
