I thought the Red Monster sword was a myth.

Jesus it's real.

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!

I have no idea what the lab boys do, nor do I care as long as I get results!

Deathgate: Turning eldritch abominations into swords into searing hot dwarficide!

Derm Uristson, Mayor, we're done here.

Now that the thread has some +200? posts around, it might be a bit difficult for newcomers to understand at a glance the overall history of Deathgate. (I've been away from the forums for a few weeks and now I find myself slightly lost with all the new updates)
I'm feeling a bit lazy right now, but I'm thinking of making a simple timeline of all of the events that have happened from the first years of Deathgate to where it is now.
I'm going to have to re-read everything though, so if someone could make a quick list of things that have happened within the past few turns, I'd be happy.

Year 4
Blade Master Model 42
~ Dug up first pieces of Adamantium
- Heavy duty booby trapped entranceways
- Set up vast majority of bedrooms

Year 5
Nevyn
~ Mass reorganization and prioritization of pretty much everything
- Accidentally broke the BATTEREY

Year 6
Narqulie
~ Built the prequel room to the icicle of doom
(aka the first room where the demons are to be held off)
- Outfitted our armories with a sizable amount of adamantine weapons
- Decorated and made everything look nicer
- Built "the Yellow Brick Road"
- Saw use of the heavily booby trapped entrance way made by Blade Master Model 42

Year 7
Tryrar
~ Built the Magma Hallways
- Completed the archery towers
- Cleaned up fort very nicely

Year 8
Dariush

edit: I should draw some pictures for these and turn the entire timeline into an image, once I have time.
This might go nicely into the front page as a spoiler for easier access for everyone.

Well I became Mayor and turned into Dwarven Cave Johnson. Then I killed Sethcreyd with a flaming demon sword of eternal agony.

Forts kinda blur into each other after a while.

Flaede has until 5 PM Eastern Standard Time today before his/her turn will be skipped.  Then it will be Micelus' turn.

Also, awesome timeline.

I still need to sit down and read DeathGate in it's entirety, I'm sorry to admit.  Might start on it later today to watch the madness unfold.

Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet Noodle; As a fellow hell-breacher I thought you'd like to know that I broke Hell with a Stupid Dwarf Trick and masonry.  Lots of masonry.

Oh and for Cavern McUristson (aka Dwarven Cave Johnson)

'alright, I've been thinking;

When life gives you demons, don't make demon food. 

MAKE HELL TAKE THE DEMONS BACK!

GET MAD!

OUR FORT DOESN'T WANT YOUR DAMN DEMONS!

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THEM?!

DEMAND TO SEE HELL'S MANAGER!

MAKE HELL RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GIVE DEATHGATE DEMONS!

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

I'M THE OVERSEER THAT'S GONNA BURN YOUR HELL DOWN!

WITH THE DEMONS!

I'M GONNA GET MY CRAFTDWARVES TO INVENT A FLAMING DEMON SWORD THAT BURNS YOUR HELL DOWN!

It had to be my turn when I'm incredibly busy...I'll try to do my turn. Although, I'm kinda doing it blind, since I haven't read this since September.

EDIT: I'm really sorry, but I can't do the turn. I took a look at the save, and I have no idea what to do. That, and I'm busy. Sorry.

I'll be doing bi-daily or tri-daily updates. Incidentally due to turns skipped and poor planning for such incidents I have Deathgate and Skyscrapes on my plate. And I'll be honest, I've read all of the updates but a lot of it was a fair while ago so I will probably forget a few things about it. Makes for a fun learning experience!

PS. I'm not continuing from Ovg's turn. Seth's is the one I'm using.
