Yeah, looks good in red doesn't it?

Katana is Dabbling Swordsdwarf/Shield User/Wrestler, Competent Armor User/Biter/Dodger, Skilled Fighter. He arrived with decent unarmed skills, I haven't specifically been training him in Biting

Still waiting for a good Justicedwarf candidate. Dwarfing requests of Andal and Geb/Tannen have been noted.

"I know! But look, we have a total of twelve weapons grade metal bars in this whole fort, and half of those are silver! What do you want me to do?"

Hammer time!
By the way, isn't bone armor better than leather one?

Milking a worm... Make me unimagine that!

[Neyvn]

I DEMAND THAT SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONS THE DANGER ROOM!!! I AM FULLY AGAINST THEM IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES!!!

[zephyr_hound]

fixed for you, Nevyn

I'm sure milking a rock worm is no worse than milking purring maggots... And all our bones go to making bone bolts at the moment. Endok cranks out masterworks like nobody's business.

[Neyvn]

Sorry, I just hate Danger Rooms, they are not truly used for. Weapon Traps are Traps not training tools...
I would love to find whoever created the first room and punch them, that way I can train my Wrestling Skill...

[zephyr_hound]

I don't use them either, in fact I don't think I've ever built one.

Hey, guess which fort just got a high master siege engineer migrant. Go on, guess. I think fate wants Taup Caudata to have his catapult.

[Yoink]

Awww, shame about Ushrir!
See, I told you this fort was great. I get attatched to all the dwarves. I like the goblin training dummies, lovely shade of red on the walls! You should mod soap so you can make mechanisms out of it, somehow. Dunno why.

[Lafiel]

I vote we make automated sterilization traps. You never know what those goblins and migrants may be carrying.

[Yoink]

...You mean, menacing steel spike traps in the doorway, set at about groin-height?
Or did I interpret 'sterilization' wrong?

[Lafiel]

Meant it more in a "disinfecting" way. Though that would be handy too if baby stocks get out of hand 

[TapeNoot]

I picture much abuse of said catapult/s in the future.

Of course, the questions remains. Is !!Soap!! the next big thing in projectile warfare?

[zephyr_hound]

Migrants showed up on the 2nd of Sandstone. We were all on edge, expecting trouble. I sent the marksdwarves up on the ramparts to watch, while the Crystalline Oceans guarded the gate.

Nothing attacked. The goblins were biding their time.


12th Sandstone

BANG

I fell out of bed.

"What the hell was that?"

BANG

It was coming from upstairs!

BANG



"Morning, Mr Madushkubuk! Do you like her? I call her Bessie."

"You--you've built it right above my bedroom!"



"Have I?" he said. "Ooh. I suppose it is a bit noisy. Well, I'm sure you'll get used to it."

Right, I thought. I'm moving down to the phyllite layer. Now.

[peregarrett]

So, he built it just to shoot at nearby wall? I think placing it against the gate would be more useful. And protective.

[zephyr_hound]

Gonna train him up a bit first, then we'll set up a pillbox with underground access.

[peregarrett]

best way to train is a real practice, I think. The most fun way, at least.
Last time when I used catapults directed to entrance, my dwarves spotted the thief, killed him and wend back, and in a few seconds thief's corpse was hit by flying stone, injuring one of pet dogs.
