A whole lot of lava.

Anyway, I got a little bit of playtime in yesterday and thought I'd just tell you guys that the cave ogres are tough. One of them got into the upper part of the fort, his name is (I think) Sitalfash. I've got two dwarves working on beating him to death, originally there were three until he bashed in Slowpoke's head and sent him to the hospital zone. Earlier on they had most of Sital's bones broken, then spontaneously had to sleep all together. While they slept, most of Sit's bones healed, so sadly we're back at square...7? Ogre's might have some sort of regenerative wolverine-bonus. After they woke up and started beating on him again, he was walking around causing a ruckus and whatnot, but not being violent (Surprisingly). Despite both of his legs are completely broken still, he moves almost as fast as the dwarves.

As for the other ogre, two dogs have had him pinned and are slowly scratching away at him. Very. Slowly.

The diggers finally started digging out the barracks, and are doing so rather efficiently. The entrance is a familiar blue, but that's about all they had.

We had a humongous wave of...wait for it...two migrants. Two. Luckily the goblins are busy playing in a cave inside the microcline-fenced area and haven't noticed them at all. They don't seem to care about the new migrants, but I've got my eye on a Giant Eagle outside. I won't be letting in the two newbs till the gobbos leave.

Heh... yeah you're lucky you posted... I was considering swooping in and usurping your turn. I even downloaded the save to begin getting my bearings on this ... um... uh... I think pit of despair might be appropriate since the blind cave ogre IS probably an albino. If you get a chance try sealing off the lead from the brook that is flooding the underground cavern. Trust me, it'll be worth it FPS wise.

Curse the numbskull who tunneled into the river there...

I'm honored.
Also, did you want cave cows killing Cavebrands, or a decent doom inbounds?

Anyway, along with the barracks I might make a second entrance. If we get the gobbos stuck inside the microcline-yard then we can have a semi-safe entrance to the overworld like this. The extra two migrants would be really useful, but I can't do anything with them until the goblins get bored :/

Oh yeah, no play time tonight (Baseball game and going to a friends after) and probably tomorrow (Boy scouts thing), but Sunday's still up.

I really should check on this thread more often.
Also, has anyone else noticed that all the other overseers achieved something relatively great right before they died, or at least served an important purpose?
I was an artist and got slaughtered by goblins.
Yay.

Yay.

Your forum text seems largely appropriate.

Guys, I think I got my turn at an extremely inefficient time. I'm really bogged down with things, and I think I'll turn in my coat. I only got to mid-spring, and if I can figure out how to work the dffd then I'll upload the file, unless Jordrake wants to start off at the new year save.

As a last update, most of the dwarves became unactive. I gave most of them the dig command, and about one or two listened, but the others stayed inactive. The only other use would be trying to hinder Sital, who is basically invulnerable until the dwarves learn to use weapons. We've got plenty of adamantine swords/armor, but they won't equip. The entrance to the barracks got dug out by my personal dwarf (Named Eztuzt) and it's filled with (If I remember right) cobalt and microcline, so It's very blue. A pack of naked mole dogs just moved on the map, so that's probably something to watch. The goblins seem to have noticed the migrants and are -slowly- heading there. They might just be wandering, I have no idea. Anyway, that's about it.

Now I have a baseball game to play in in about 30 minutes and a concert right after that... -_-

I really think we should consider adding [ELECTED] to the Expedition Leader position, at least until the other noble positions come back.  I had no idea at the time, but losing your mayor/leader borks the noble screen and makes all empty positions disappear.  That means they won't do things that require a noble's touch, like changing equipment.  Once a new leader/mayor is chosen, it should go back to normal.

Glad to have you with us, Eztuzt, hopefully you had fun while it lasted.  Have a good game/concert.

[Jordrake]

I'll wait and see if you can't upload what little you've done. If not, I'll just start from the new year.

Eztuzt awoke from his nightmare violently, throwing himself to his feet and brandishing the adamantine blade he kept secretly under his bed.  A few seconds passed before he realized where he was, that his arm was still attached, but still the vision haunted him.

Shakily, he found the letter addressed to the next overseer.  Seth had written it some time before his disappearance.  Now that he had been missing for over a week, it was the second-in-command's responsibility to assume the mantle of leadership.

He looked as his sword, then at the letter again.  After a moment, he crumpled the paper and dropped it to the floor.

[Cheddarius]

Sweet.

[Acanthus117]

Awesome.

[Eztuzt]

Alright, I hope I did it right. I changed the Cavebrands folder into a .rar and then uploaded it.

Godspeed, fellow dwarf

[Kagus]

Good man Eztuzt, good man.  Glad to have had you aboard.  You're welcome to come back for another go at some other point, should you choose to do so.

Alrighty then...  Jordrake!  Yer up, ya blaggard!  Have a good run of it.

[Jordrake]

Downloading the file now, I'll start playing as soon as I get home this afternoon.
