Nah, it's great. 

[NCommander]

So, I managed to raid the archives, collect loads of good weaponry, and explore DG.

When I tried to fast travel, this happened ...



Of all the ways to die in A mode, that *has* to be a first.

I'm guessing my method of turning my dwarf into an adventure bugged up my copy of the save. I think I'll have to make a legit adventuer, raid DG, collect the weapons of lore, and kill that llama demon. I'll think about doing just that when I get back to PDX in ~6 hours.

Anima, how goes progress on Operation Red Shield?  Unless it's been completely abandoned in favour of your own insane plan, that is.

Truthfully, I'm not entirely certain how to get the thing working or what it'll do.  But I'd like to use it to flood the area's around Lower Deathgate with magma.

After reading 165 pages of dwarven overseer history I'd like to say, that this is one of most epic community run fortresses I have read about.
 
I consider myself dwarf fortress novice (for now all my experiments in dwarven advanced science and engineering have ended with magma, steam baths, drowning and fun), so I tip my hat to all of you, who have imagined, designated and built some overly complex and mind boggling contraptions, that work for at least some time. Until someone comes and improves the design. Or digs another stairwell. Or aqueduct...
 
May Deathgate find it's end through fire and flames!
 

* zapte leaves to continue dwarven pet dragon training project...

[NCommander]

So I gave up trying to use my dwarf wholesale, and did a "still alive" abandon on the fort which will let me get crap and prevent dwarfs and items from scattering. I also went and found the llama demon, and he's going to be a fucking pain to deal with. The blasted demon has a breath attack that throws frozen extract around, but my test adventurer didn't live long enough to see what it actually does.

After a bit of Z-z-z-z's, I'll get some updates up on Id's plan to subvert Operation Hellspawn and the surely epic battle to follow with that llama demon. (I suppose then canonically, there are two Id's. One in Deathgate, and one maiming stuff. I think I know how to deal with in the narrative. Bahaha).

It's a pumpstack that will flood upper Deathgate in magma.  Start from F7, then look north-east and up a few z-levels.  You'll be able to follow it.  There's notes around the BATTERY for how to start it.

[AnimaRytak]

God damn, the Hell Bunker sure got big!

I've used the dwarven [SPEED:0] tag to speed this process along.  Hopefully it should  shave some time off of my task here.

Also I found a one-armed mason starving to death in the new BATTEReY.  I've let him out.

[NCommander]

On a completely unrelated side note, I found a way that the red monster sword *can* be used, so I hope to have everything up for the adventure updates I've done sometime today-ish.

NCommander, if you manage to kill the llama demon king with the red monster sword, you will officially be the greatest hero ever.

You would just have to reload a pre-Eldes save so that the red monster sword still exists.

[wlerin]

Well, before the two Eternals took it with them out of that dying world.

If NCommander becomes the greatest hero, does this mean the two of us will be destined to fight to the death?

I'll create an army of angels, you harvest the forces of evil, and we'll meet in a fort someday and have a battle that will be engraved in legends across the multiverse.

Incidently, I hit a huge snag :-/. I got an adventure into Deathgate (which wasn't easy due to a FB being teleported to the surface), just to find the red monster sword is MIA in the 778 save. Its present BEFORE though I change the mode to adventurer ...

*grumble*

I don't want to do a proper abandon because I'll have to eat a few hours of time searching for that blasted thing (though in A mode, it *does* set everything around it, like trees on fire just by bearing nearby). I'll work on this more tomorrow, but that llama demon WILL be on the recieving end of that red monster sword before I'm done.

[Mr Space Cat]

So I had been reading this fort shortly after getting into DF and finding the forums, but before I finally joined.

After finding it's still going I had to catch up on it and voice my approval.  This fort is incredibly metal, as well as a side of crazy and featuring impossible Lovecraftian geometry and a murderous unknown ghost like something out of Poe's stuff.

Epic stories guys, both of the fort and the potential adventure popping up. Got some fantastic finales going on here! NCommander, if you manage to get that red monster sword and kill the llama demon with it I might just have to get off my lazy bum and make some engravings commemorating its awesomeness.

Minecarts will serve to make Deathgate II even worse better.

Speaking of, anyone remember that post about the minecart railgun? That would be AMAZING if it happened in DGII.
