Eh. I imagine it's not the last thing that will go missing ere we're through.

Like, for example, the children Iden Solonigath and Ingish Bimzes. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with them... in fact they are quite overwhelmingly ecstatic... except they don't appear to have a physical presence in the fortress.

edit: That and they are both 20 years old.

So the fort's pulled a Battlefailed, lost it's most treasured item, the civilization is well and truly extinct, and it's likely to remain 'alive' after the last dwarf dies simply because two of them are lost in limbo? 

Couldn't ask for anything better to happen to this little hellhole

And the plot thickens.

However, I think I'll leave it to future overseers to untangle this particular knot, aside from perhaps a dream or two.

I've finished a survey of the fort's remaining (living, dwarven) occupants, and hope to have Spring ready by Wednesday or Thursday.

Oh see there's the problem.

Quick, check him for rum! The bastard's probably spirited some off to his lair office, to act as pleasant refreshment as his evil scheme unfolds!

Demi-gods? Seriously? Strangely enough, that is one of the more normal things to happen to Deathgate

Oh well, I don't blame you for dropping my turn. I'm sorry I couldn't post more regularly. I'll just watch as the plot thickensburns to ash. Maybe I'll actually have my shit together in time for DGII. But yeah, it was a mistake for me to sign up for this at this time. :I

Perhaps Terry now wields the Doomsword.

Only one could wield that cursed blade and he is the literal manifestation of madness.

Well. Time to pick seven dwarves and send them outta here.

You don't even leave Deathgate dead, you just rot outside the Hellbunker.

If the fortress survives to my turn, I intend to get some power going with the remaining dwarves and flood the upper levels in Magma.  NONE SHALL TOUCH OUR GLORIOUS CORPSES!

Actually I guess the two kids did. And took the Demonblade with them, the lil' rascals.

I don't care. I have discovered that if you spawn elves this way, cats will chase them down and eat them.

Most of the machinery to do this is already in place, only needs a few connections here, and then a way to prevent the magma from destroying said machinery while flooding the chambers.


Oh and prevent it from getting into lower Deathgate. Also important.

This fort really does sit on the event horizon of madness and catastrophe
No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Heh.

So... my preparations (which are probably a wee bit excessive) are nearly complete. I whipped up a short background for the character whose viewpoint I will be using for the next four seasons, and as it is at least semi-readable, albeit lengthy, here it be:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


She now stood before a small group of her elders, as Mayor Kosoth Rigothvir officially claimed her as her apprentice and adopted sister. For the time being, she would manage the fort's records, and mingle with the populace. Give the mayor someone to discuss decisions with. It was the greatest moment of her life. Being young and full of self-importance, she never thought to ask why.

At the end of the ceremony, the mayor bestowed on her a new name, that of an old leader of Deathgate.

Henceforth, Kogan would be known as Irony II.
