A huge swath of the workforce is ill, their limbs rotting off. A lot of them have made it to the hospital, and about a dozen are sleeping in the same tile (the top-left tile of the hospital zone. must be the default when they run out of beds)

I count about 30 that appear to have symptoms, including a dozen of the children. It's getting a bit grim.

[db48x]

Several dogs and cats have also succumbed to the infection.

First tantrum, a mason who lost his child to thirst. Several dwarves have died of thirst or hunger so far, and I think (but can't verify) that so far it's only been the ones who were sleeping in the corner of the hospital. Perhaps they can't be attended to unless they're in a bed?

[db48x]

Even a Tigerman cub that has been wandering around (peacefully) outside the entrance has caught the plague.

[Lord Shonus]

I shall take the 19th.

[db48x]

Well, this was an interesting turn. The plague has brought our numbers down to 68, with more than a dozen still suffering.

We have more food and drink than we'll use in a year, of course.

I got the surface fortification built sufficiently to protect the buildings up there (the masons are still working on the third floor.) It could use some arrow slits.

The mayor went on a bender and destroyed a few buildings, including the old depot. Apparently there's some kind of bug there, because the elven caravan left a bunch of stuff behind when they left. As a result, the depot has not yet been rebuilt in its original location. Various dwarves tried to rebuild it, spending weeks moving crap out of the way, but to no avail. I finally just rebuilt it outside, next to the brook. The dwarven caravan has just arrived, and I've ordered a bunch of toys and other stuff left by the elves moved to the temporary depot so that we can get rid of them.

Oh, did I mention that our broker went beserk after deciding that only shells would serve as decoration for his artifact? I don't think we'll ever have a broker again. Btw, he almost killed Gamegreen, but the militia got there in time and lopped off his head.

Mercifully, there were no sieges, but we did have to fight off a hideous giant crab that was covered in boiling ichor of some kind. You may notice various frozen smears of this ichor on the walls and floors where the dwarves have tracked it around. The hospital is especially bad.

I also got a dozen or so levels of the pump tower built, but it wasn't really a priority. Also, we should have enough bronze armor now to have our militia tank up.

I'll upload to DFMA shortly. Enjoy!

[Demonic Spoon]

Was Demonic Spoon still the broker? Does Demonic Spoon still live?

[db48x]

Oh, I forgot to mention. Samoorai and Barbarossa fell to the plague. The broker wasn't Demon Spoon... in fact, I don't see a dwarf named Demon Spoon. The broker's name was Bėmbek or something similar. I can't find him in the unit list though...

Uploaded to DFMA

A side view is quite instructive. I've uploaded every layer from the top of our little hill to the lowest bit of magma that we know of, so you can really see the extent of the staircase and pump tower. There are still about 20 unexplored layers below the fort.

I love the plague! 
Thing is blood is a little bugged this version: It keeps spreading forever, unless a dwarf cleans it up. And they won't clean outside.
If you have any of the forgotten beasts blood on the floor, you have to seal off the area, or the dwarves will spread it.

[db48x]

Oh, a final note. This save comes from .31.02, so you'll want to grab it before you start. (not that I can imagine anyone not having done so already)

[Heron TSG]

Good job! I'll get a score up for you later. I suggest quarantine on the rotting dwarves.

I suppose we could just wall them in, but don't really think it would do any good. Several of the tigermen outside caught it, and they never came inside the fort, let alone near any of the dwarves in the hospital.

[skaltum]

can i have the 19th

[Graebeard]

Woah, epic plague is epic.  I'd have thought it was a pool of poisonous monster blood somewhere for sure, but that doesn't explain the Tigermen.  I haven't seen anything about good ole' epidemics in the new version, but that would be a super cool feature.  I mean, you're basically cramming a bunch of blood and vomit covered fleshbags into poor quarters with little hygiene.  Rampant infections would actually be pretty realistic.
