I just updated the wiki page on this epic tale to include a (Tim Denee approved) PDF suitable for printing and binding into your own coffee table booklet. (There's also one good for on screen viewing.) Enjoy!

This really needs to be made in to a DF t-shirt:




Absolutely outstanding.

man I really want to do something like this (a short, easy to read and funny DF story) but nothing that interesting ever happens to me in DF  :-\

the last forgotten beast I got just floundered around in the water and then left without killing anyone  :'(

When fun doesn't find you, you must make it on your own. I suggest attempting to engineer a magma firing orbital laser through the use of untold pumps and a grid of pipes suspended high above the ground.

And then call the engineer Dwarf Vader?

Bronzemurder is awesome. We could call Hollywood and make a major motion picture out of it.

It's like you're all trying to outdo each other in sheer useless pedantry.

Okay, now we're going a little too far.

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Nah, for Hollywood you'd want to go with something like Nist Akath or Migurust.

This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

This was more entertaining than Boatmurdered. I think this little battle report would be put on all future Internet flyers promoting DF :P
