For Spish, Unless you want to cheat, which I know many of us wouldn't approve of, the best thing you could do is wall him in so he doesn't go berserk. As for the tower, 15 Z levels is tall enough to kill most creatures, and if it doesn't kill them they will be so wounded that the military could take them out easily. Also, perhaps you could only make it a few Z levels tall, and have it drop straight into an arena, where the dropper creature could then fight our bravest warrior.

I approve of this suggestion on one condition. Svarte is the chosen executioner... er, brave warrior.

This is what happens to dwarf-sized creatures on a 15 z-level fall. The giblets also fly several z-levels up, but you don't see that there. 3-4 z-level will maim an enemy enough to make them easy prey, though some will escape their grissly fate by headbutting the ground.

Spish's log:
"I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE TRASHY MAN"

I knew one of these days I was going to end up going on an insane rampage in a succession fort, this was a lot sooner than I expected though. Still, might get lucky and just end up depressed.

On a side note, having a skilled miner go berserk is probably the worst possible scenario. Last time I had that happen in a fortress with no trained military, he caused a tantrum spiral and effortlessly murdered everyone there. Along with two skilled adventurers afterwards. I imagine it would be even worse with kobolds, since their spines are basically made of taffy.

Courses for horses. Some strange moods will end in death. Also, you wrote "toady" instead of "today".
...Er...Good job at catching that...I meant to do that...as a challenge for someone to find! Yeah, that's ir!

Unfortunately, the worst possible tragedy has struck! I have lost the flash drive with all of my DF stuff on it! I will let you know if I find it, but the next person should take his/her turn in the meantime unless Fate blesses me and I find it quickly, in which case I will make a 10-15 z-level tower and wall in Spish and stuff.

I'll give you a day to find it I guess then we revert to Yoinks turn.

Don't worry, Yoink! It'll surely be alright!

By the way, do we have a current picture of the camp as it stands?

I was really enjoying GWG's stories (alternative realities ftw). Hopefully you'll complete a turn when you're able.

Tomorrow at 12 noon eastern time it is Yoinks turn from the last save. Unless you can find your save WyrmGold.

(Okay, I'm getting started now, anything in particular I should be doing, or just what seems, to me, to be most important to the place's survival? Oh, and pretty much as soon as I unpaused, we got a village chief elected... So now I can't elect my 'Bold. Oh well. )

Yaaah! Yarsniff boss now! Yes really! McGuinty is comes in, says, you problem now! Yaaaah! What I do?!
Huh. Um. Well. Yarsniff is make sure have lotsa traps, lotsa spears, yes, no dwarf get in here! We kill all. Best of all, Yarsniff gets big room! Ha! Make real fancy, Yarsniff boss now.
Now... Yarsniff goes, make sure all working. Want lots traps! Much lots traps! Yaaai! Otherwise dwarf gets in!

(Yarsniff is 'always tense and jittery', 'quick to anger', 'very active' and 'likes to try new things', so I can blame all my inevitable stupidity on him! :D )

Memoirs of Yarsniff, kobold of Gakruldus, 7th Granite, 202. Translated from Kobold by Catten Parchmentfingers.
Yai! Stupid Flibeekis, not doing like I say! Sit in workshop, acting all sneaky! I says, "Yaaah! Wha you doing?!" And she no says nothing, so I says, "Stop that! You suppose be working!" But she just goes on doing whatever... Is strange.



Guess I is just goes back to bossing everyone else, then.

Based on the personality of your 'bold, I'd say that this turn is going to be interesting.

Hm...My presence, and that of the kilns I was making, seemed to create a masonry mood while others' create other moods...

So far, so good, I want to know what kind of mood Fibeekis is having, don't forget to mod in tameable capybara people, etc etc.

I have a new flash drive and am ready to take a new turn. Yay! Put me after Yoink or at the end as you see fit.
