I’ve been struck by a sudden paranoia of the skourses getting inside and killing
me everyone so I set up some traps outside my room so that
I everyone can run and hide there if they get in.
Soon afterwards, a dwaven caravan arrived. I closed the bridge after it arrived, then realised: Andreus and Urist were outside!
(That’s Andreus getting chased there)
I ordered the horde of mooks after it, but it was too late.
I was forced to take over as broker (and sell Andreus’s clothes). At least Urist the Red escaped.
I think I gave him too much. I still got a ton of beer, food and metal bars.
Seeing as Failcannon was obviously inadequately defended, I laid out plans for a huge defensive wall.
I also ordered some of the cliff removed.
Damnit, Urist! This caused the rather disturbing sight of Nightmarebros throwing a tantrum. In his sleep.
I fear they may be a tantrum spiral. Cppstv even threw a tantrum during a meeting with me!
Derm got battered in a second cave-in.
He was fine and got back to work.
A skeletal horse got in, and was ripped apart by the militia, but not without casualties.
And then Olin got possessed...
And made this:
On a completely different note, why is the staircase covered in swamp whiskey roasts?
Some kobold thieves got in. LucusCaisius tried to stop them. Hilarity ensued.
As my last legacy to Failcannon before I give up rulership, I made a lever. Read the notes before deciding whether to pull it.
So, a summary of the year:
Mist generator: worked, no-one died.
Workshop levels: worked, no-one died.
Dining room: didn’t work, no-one died.
Kill skeletal horses: sorta worked, quite a few died.
Build defensive wall: worked, 1 dead, 1 injured.
Artifacts: 2 worked, 1 didn’t, 1 dead.
Dead forum dorfs: Urist the Red, Spanner, Andreus V, Glacial, Mipe, Vee.
I now leave this in the capable(ish) hands of Twobeard.
