[The Master]

Really? Never heard of Deathgate. If so, out with my idea!

[The Master]

The Master looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!

[gamewizardinnc]

Thanks for the link. Seems interesting.

EDIT: Still even if we do try to colonize hell, It would be ridiculously easy (probably) with Aussie's checkerboard idea.   

[The Master]

The Master has created shmekheh khuzd, killer dwarf, an adamantine statue!

On the item is an image of The Master, 39 Elves, and 6 Dwarves. The Master is insane. The dwarves are screaming. The Elves are fighting. This image relates to the posting of this comment in the late autumn of 2011.
(shmekheh khuzd really does mean killer dwarf in dwarven!)

[ThatAussieGuy]

I propose HellCannon. Of course, to live up to the name, Aussie will have to take a turn.

Only if I get to open the way to hell, AND with a Checkerboard

[gamewizardinnc]

Like I said, it would be too easy with the Checkerboard. We need to have more !!Fun!! with it.

I propose drafting every dorf into the military decking them in steel then have them rush headfirst into it.

[Teneb]

I propose we name it FailHell, to keep with the Fail theme.



so, 16 against 2... time to pull the lever. I'll try to finish my turn if my computer survives the cave-in.



EDIT: DF currently frozen as Andreus pulls the lever. I'll wait to see if it unfreezes.


EDIT 2: Ok, no way my computer can handle it. Here's the save about 1 second before Andreus reaches the lever. I'm already writing the ending, so to speak. As soon as someone manages to pull the bloody thing, tell me so I can post it.

[Johuotar]

I did not know of this self-destruct lever, I must have missed its creation. Why are we pulling it now? Because of the ghosts making it impossible to play or what?

EDIT: I'll try the save.

Thanks. It worked better than expected.


I am no SethCreyid, but here it goes:

The time had come. All the strife, all the blood spilled, all deaths suffered, all lead to this moment. FailCannon was about to die. A sacrifice for the greater good of all universes, for the rift created by the evil queen Led had to be sealed.

Andreus stood before the red lever and prepared himself, for it could mean the end of him. Forever. “Faillever” was engraved upon the wall nearby, which would trigger the “Failday”, a massive cave-in that would release a legion of ghosts filled with righteous fury, ready to fight Led in the final battle.

He pulled it. A thunderous crash happened moments after, as layer after layer of catacombs crashed down upon each other, releasing the spirits trapped within.

All the world felt it. The undead queen Led on her throne, the goblin raiders marching towards FailCannon with the intent to sack it, the elves in their forest homes, the kobolds in their caves, the proud humans in their castles, even monsters forgotten by time felt the cataclysm that was to come and, for the first time since the world was born, they felt fear.

And so FailCannon died, and with it died all who were bound to it: Andreus, Queen Led, Lur Thiefwitch and Ura. The Multiverse was irrevocably changed, and while many monsters had escaped their prisons and now terrorized once-pacific worlds, no longer was it under threat of collapsing upon itself.

None would remember the brave dwarves that gave their lives so it was possible, but they died with a sense of fulfillment in their hearts, and knew such a sacrifice was necessary so others everywhere could continue to live.

[Urist Imiknorris]

even monsters forgotten by time felt the cataclysm that was to come and, for the first time since the world was born, they felt fear.

No shit, two thirds of them were in the Failcannon Funhouse at the time.

[Teneb]

Johuotar, how many survived the Failday?

[Eric Blank]

Well, the ghosts wouldn't arise immediately, so it can best be described as "everyone not stupid enough to linger around the catacombs."

In other news, I seem to have unleashed a squeal of ecstasy and excitement when I read this page.

[Johuotar]

Johuotar, how many survived the Failday?

Everyone except Rrigdway.

[Mego]

So, soon, we shall have an army of murderous ghosts in the fortress, determined to destroy every living thing.

I approve.

[Johuotar]

Andreus goes for it...

... and delivers.

The only victim of the lever was Rrigdway who's corpse I found in this staircase.
