Will replace this post with a partial update later tonight, then flesh it out more as I go.
I had an update ready, but I wound up... well, I accidentally our entire military, so I wound up having to restart that update. (Mostly was testing/examining something; results showed that dwarves are idiots.)
1 FELSITE
I noted in my watching that these filthy dwarves have foolishly tainted their bodies with their presence in Hell.
The corruption extends even to the higher-ups; in fact, it appears that the taint is
grounds for promotion.Even their nominal "doctor" is not immune to the taint, though in this case, it appears he picked it up while experimenting on a cat with it.
Speaking of the cat, it appears that it was also previously used as a test subject for the duck menace. This is one of the specimens which was locked in the Duck/Cat Breeding Project Room (an attempt, clearly, to develop autonomous, hypnotic roving demonslayers); note the bill-shaped injuries.
Migrants arrived. Dark gods only know why, but two stupid ones wandered onto the scene. One wonders if they were lured by the scent of roasting meat; the entire fortress still smells like it, from the battles with Haunts of Fire and the ever-present goblin magma drops.
It's now the 7th of Felsite. The dwarves dare to venture out of their homes, to clear out the outer parts of the fortress and to regroup. There are more goblins in cages out there, I swear, than there are dwarves in here.
