That Aussie Dwarf has bled to death

NOOOOOO! Wait... that's what you all think.... Can i get a redorfing?  That Aussie Dwarf again with the title "scheming mastermind"

I'm now going to ask that you lock my dorf in the house. I'm gonna have the longest lived dwarf in this fortress and not even a loyalty cascade's gonna stop me. _{I believe I just jinxed it, too}

I hope you've learned to never tempt Murphy's Law.  Especially in Dwarf Fortress.

[Eric Blank]

I'm still impressed.
Of course, I'm still wondering if my ghosts have risen yet... If not, I would love a redorfing, as Eric, or Erica the third if it's female again. This time as the insane hermit... Clearly by this point either of my ghosts would be so peeved as to attempt to merge themselves with a living dwarf's mind to avoid the persistent misery of being dead.

Remember; in Aztec culture, the underworld is a place of boredom rather than despair, and at this point our ghosts are all just bored and wish someone would find the universal remote and change the channel already.

[Mormota]

Atleast I died a hero's death. Oh well. I request redorfing and conscript me.

[CatalystParadox]

Done!  The migrants are claimed:

And it looks like Erica III has a husband.

I've directed them to set up a small camp in the ruins of one of the monuments until I can get the gate open for them.  I might just have them de-construct a gate if it looks like its not happening.

In other news, I decided to look into it - and DuckThatQuacks is now the only living dwarf with outstanding crimes.  Both are against dwarves who are now dead - and curiously, neither of them are any of the many people he chased down and beat savagely.  Dwarven Justice is a funny thing.

[ThatAussieGuy]

That Other Aussie Dwarf.  Brilliant 

[Dariush]

Redorf me as Dariush IV The Merciless Avenger. Preferably as some profession that can avenge my predecessor (i.e., not soapmaker).

[Sinpwn]

I would also like to be redorfed as Sinpwn II, with the job description "Wolpertingererer".

[Mekboy]

Could I be redorfed too? Name of Mekboy the third, title of 'Professional spanner'.

[Karakzon]

My miner should be a dual weilding millatery miner, if he has spent any time trainning.

dependable on his skill level, i should say hes probably best only used as an emergancy fighter. If the goblins have any trolls, they should be top priority to kill, so that the trolls cant break down the doors and attack the dwarves.

[ThatAussieGuy]

Order? military stratagem?  This is Failcannon.  We're lucky some survived the succession war, let alone the goblins.  All we're missing now for the full hat-trick of Fun is a Forgotten Beast or Hill Titan.

[arcangelsd]

I died. At last. Surviving a ripped away leg, a giant demonic spider made of bone falling in top of me, AND surviving the loyalty cascade wasn't enough for my dwarf, it seems. He had to dive in front of a incoming goblin army. I'm sure he was a thrill seeker xD

I'll wait for my turn for dorfing, if it even comes (my level of optimism regarding* this fortress is surprisingly high)

And, Catalyst, could you post a "Survivors list"?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Can I be redorfed as a soldier wielding the two heaviest shields you can find? (copper shield is best shield)

[ThatAussieGuy]

Wait, you made me Eric's husband?!  bwhahahaha.

- Entry 1, Book 2 -
I swapped clothes with one of the poor saps that fell to the goblins and it seemed to work - they all think I'm dead.  I altered my hair and slipped out of the fortress only to run into three dwarves coming towards the fort (something about "fleeing the ruins of Led's empire").  Knowing they'd probably mention me, i made a deal with one of them - let me pose as one of them and the other can get the hell out of this crazy hellhole (I swear, Catalyst is psychic about who and where we are, or something...).  The husband agreed and legged it faster than i've ever seen a sane dwarf move.  On the plus side; I've gained an attractive wife (though her voice seems oddly deep and i swear i saw stubble. Odd...) and no-one's the wiser as to who i am.  Catalyst keeps calling me "Other" though, for some reason i cant fathom....

[Gizogin]

I can't figure out how many dwarves should still be alive. I mean, there weren't that many even before all this death and stuff.

[CatalystParadox]

And, Catalyst, could you post a "Survivors list"?

Sure - there aren't many, now, but at least its manageable:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Catalyst - Traitor.
Katsuun - Loyal and in good health.
Ledi - Traitor, unconscious and sitting at the edge of the Diving Board waiting for the lever to be pulled.
DuckThatQuacks - Traitor.  Fighting 2 trolls barehanded.  Winning.
That Other Aussie Dwarf - Migrant, stuck outside.
Mormota II - Migrant, stuck outside.
Erica III - Migrant, stuck outside.

In short, I think we can reasonably expect to have 4 safe and healthy dwarves soon.  It's a pretty dramatic change from the 39 I had when my turn started, but under the circumstances, I'm bloody proud.

Catalyst keeps calling me "Other" though, for some reason i cant fathom....

The Others are coming. (Okay, so I've been reading too much A Song of Ice and Fire lately.)

I'll try to carry out as many of the dorfing requests as I am able, but for right now the migrants are but a slow trickle.
