Demonic Spoon is not a good choice for Sheriff. He's carrying a pick, and administers beatings.

Sorry, Day Eleven B is the one to use. Day Eleven A is the timeline where Thrathnu got into the fort.

What? That's the DWARVEN way of going about these sorts of things. Demonic Spoon for sheriff!

Axes are way more dwarven than that.

[Demonic Spoon]

Yeah but it gets more into the area of captial punishment, we want the dwarves alive but severely wounded, not in thousands of pieces all over the place making tonnes of hauling jobs.

[LordSlowpoke]

Who cares? It just gives you more time to practice axe usage when you're killing those haulers for not following your orders.

Oh, I'd forgotten. Chaining the tigermen up next to the magma pool was interesting, but the first time through they all died of thirst. In timeline B I untied them in time for all but one to survive. They all made a beeline for the brook to slake their thirst.

With the giant magma pump stack designed, and just needing to be built at this point, i thought i could lay back for a while. but now it appears, the entire fortress is looking at me for leadership. i may know a lot about pumps and gears, but nothing about leading a fortress. we are going to try and get this pump stack done, so that the sky and the magma can be reunited once again,

Somehow I foresee the grand pump tower becoming the end of the fortress.......

I can't walk 10 feet down here without stubbing my toe on a boulder*. whoever ran this place before thought it fit to just leave rocks laying around. we do have dwarfs launching some of the rocks into our neighborers land, but its not fast enough, and i have ordered a bunch of the stones cast into the magma sea.
(my fps is hovering between 16 and 20, lets hope this helps)

in other news, it seems we have a collection of tigerman chained up on a ledge**, and it seems they are dying of thirst. there is probably a very good reason why they are there, so i see fit to leave them.

**(apparently you didn't unchain them in timeline B, too bad for them)

today a dwarf came up to me, and reported that one of the goblins we had in a cage had become quite attached to his iron pike. i didn't believe him, so i went and checked, sure enough, the goblin had become quite attached to his pike.

15 dwarf migrants came to our fortress today. among them was a legendary miner, and a legendary wood burner. personally, wood burning doesn't seem to be a very demanding or skilled task, but he says otherwise. we also got a master milker and a grand master milker. most of the new immigrants have been tasked to complete the pump stack. we are in the process of designing a power plant to run everything.

That sounds like it could require surgery.

so, apparently, the underground cave with the magnitite forgotten beast wasn't as sealed as well as i thought it was, and, cage traps didn't stop it. half the fort tried to bash it to death in the main staircase, but they couldn't. going to have to revert the save. at least im not going to bed anytime soon. walls are being built

we have filled all of the holes to the underground cavern, i don't trust our cage traps to capture some of the stuff down there. we have gotten the pump stack up to floor 34, and its growing steadily. a project to divert part of the river for waterwheels has been started.
