Picking up aquatic only pets I just notice merfolk will rush to the nearest pool of water on their own which is a detail that saves me having to drag them into the water.

that does mean spending most of my adventurers near the river side and hoping I could give them a syndrome that makes them not need to breathe.

it's the year 2020 Dwarf fortress currently got Dwarf Farms made by merfolks to harvest their priceless blood.

I just set out as an adventurer.

A polar Bear (wo)man, who opted to stock up on polar bear sized armor instead of a weapon, and 8 trolls.

Why can I afford 8 troll pets to accompany me?  Well the civ I started with apparently allows them, and idk why but trolls cost 1 point?  Its possible my own modding, which Ive carried over from older versions, just didnt account for the possibilities for companions, but alas.

Does anyone else get absurdly cheap companions?

yes, but that's mostly due to modding entity animal token creatures show up in the pet list which means having a multi-culture civ means you could spend points on getting 70 dwarves, or elves or goblins... or shell out 1001 for a bogeyman, or realize as an outsider you can just buy as many gremlins you are willing to spend in vanilla.

So I stumbled across an infant ghoul.


She was not a zombie, and also was not hostile.  She was accompanied by a slightly older child.

They took quite a whallop and were clearly not natural.  After murdering them I looked it up, a human night creature did it.  how tragic.

Looking at the raws, Trolls don't have the PETVALUE token which controls pet cost using the formula PETVALUE/2+1. I suppose PETVALUE defaults to zero, giving you a 1 point cost.

Had a Night Troll spawn in one of my outsider adventurer's runs inside a hillock where they started, amusingly it led to all the dwarves dogpiling onto it immediately right after i moved once.

Spoiler: The aftermath of using gui/advfort to dig under a house to collapse it (click to show/hide)

Everyone inside was crushed by the collapsing roof. It's pretty IC for the character I'm playing though.

Edit: It rebuilt itself minus the doors after I left and returned.

[pisskop]

Interesting.  Is the cavern underneath still there?

Nope. But the doors and human corpses inside are gone.

so poke around the adv build menu stuff and learn about making a camp on any site though the bigger discovery is being able to move the camp made on a site which copies the section of the original site the camp is on.

which means I don't have to slam a camp boat on smaller sites to copy them and can copy anything now.

now I can copy and paste sections of the worldmap and move them around to make a patchwork landscape and also transfer the folks from those locales.


I guess RP wise I can take the site full of inhabitants and take them to a bandit camp, or a lair and show them the beast to fight or watch what the inhabitants would do when I get into an ambush, or could save a site layout from a town and move it.

I'd... I'd never seen this quest addendum before

[Eschar]

The twisted sister bit or "save us from this horror"?

[TheFlame52]

Yeah, that happens when a relative is transformed. It's pretty rare, but I've seen it before.

[Superdorf]

The twisted sister bit or "save us from this horror"?

The twisted sister bit. Very sad.
Night varmint died right fast, at least. I've since resumed my cheery abuse of the local wildlife.
