[Dsarker]

I'll punch through and finish my turn tonight. You can decide then.


Key phrase of next update: The executions will continue until morale improves.

[Dsarker]

And before I can do that, I've lost another named dorf. Frigidwolf, this time. He died to depression.

[Dsarker]

Kulpamens' is about to go into depression too. Nevyn will be next. I think the only safe one will be HugoLuman, because he's undergoing bed rest and is getting regular happy thoughts from feedings/waterings.

[Dsarker]

I was wrong! Kulpamens will not go into melancholy second!


That honour goes to Nevyn.

[Dsarker]

Okay.


HugoLuman, don't worry about your dwarf going crazy. He can't anymore... For some reason, the dwarves weren't giving water. So we lost the two injured dwarves, including yours.


I'm thinking revert might be the way to go.

[Dsarker]

I think it's going to be academic, in any case. A forgotten beast below us, a minotaur above us, and who knows how many goblin ambushes right outside our door. I'm not sure I'll have enough time to wall off the forgotten beast, so we're sacrificing the militia.


If you think they could survive it, it appears to have metal hair covering him and a poisonous gas attack.

[Dsarker]

Okay. It's about to get into the fortress. Militia are dead. Revert will probably be necessary.

[Dsarker]

Okay. It's in the fortress. It attacked my character first. Then Kulpamens jumped in the fight....on the forgotten beast's side, decapitating me in one fell stroke.

Then the forgotten beast said "HAI GUIS I KILLA YOU" and broke Kulpamens' spine. He dropped his steel wargear, and now the forgotten beast is wailing on him. EVERYONE is being drafted to try and kill it. It may be our only chance.

[Dsarker]

It is dead at last. Total losses at the moment?

About fifteen dead to the forgotten beast. No word on injuries. Two named dwarves are alive, Nanomage and Resnov. All the rest are dead. Glorious administrator? Dead. Named communists? DEAD. People everyone cares about? DEAD.


Well, I'll post up my current save and the record of our fall. Anyone who wants to take on our fallen fortress, feel free. Or you could, y'know, just revert.

[Dsarker]

2nd Hematite


I don't...I don't understand.



We just had an attack by goblins, who after killing seventeen of us, seemed to consider their job done, and left.


Dammit. In the name of our Glorious Leader Dakost and the Motherland,  no-one leaves or enters the fortress. The dead who are outside must be forgotten.





3rd Hematite.

Two dwarves named Kulpamens and Nevyn are throwing tantrums. I suppose they were used to the surface. We shall fix them...somehow.






16th Hematite

Now Frigidwolf is throwing a tantrum.

Time for the best way to increase morale...


Mass executions.


And I know just the dwarf for the task. Newly appointed 'elite' marksdwarf Kol Nabastobul.




17th Hematite


Okay, we've at least solved the cause of Frigidwolf's unhappiness. He apparently lost an arm and decided that he would continue with his militia training, instead of, I don't know, RESTING!!!!



We're trying to confine him to bedrest now. At least he is no longer about to die of bloodloss!



20th Hematite


I just got the message from the doctor.


I tried to ask him if there was something, ANYTHING, he could do.


He shook his head at me.


Another dwarf...gone...


Frigidwolf, struck by the horror of his life....has gone into a severe depression. We can't do anything to rouse him. He is a dead dwarf walking.



27th Hematite

I'm trying to keep the workers happy, but their spirit is broken. The ones here from the start are dying off, one by one, and it's very lucky the new ones aren't friends with anyone.


Our ore levels are down to almost zero. Until further notice, no more smelting jobs will be issued. Time for those slackers to get back to their roots and do some mining.


In other news, we're getting ghosts.

Wild animals from the deeps are creeping up, and I've sent the militia to get some battle experience.


Just when I think that is all I will have to write about today, I hear the terrifying roars.


A minotaur is here.


That means that if the fortress isn't perfectly sealed, as I hope it is, it will get in. In Dakost's name....let us survive this...





1st Malachite

i can hear the sounds of the animals caught outside its rending them the roars the sounds oh dakost the sounds they drive us all crazy and they are terrifying the childrens and the turkeys are running loose oh dakost save us please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please

Save is at dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4707

[Angle]

Got save. beginning...

I'm going to try and go off of dsarkers save, although I'll revert if i must.

BEGINNING LOG

Dsarker made me overseer today, right before running off to fight goblins. and dying.

So, I guess I have no choice, eh?

damn.

Well, alright, let's see what we've got.
...
...
...
SON OF A GOATMAN.

this place is wrecked. there are dead people everywhere, we have an open access to the caverns, and theres a minotaur on out doorstep!

Sigh.

Time to get to work.

all hands, kill that minotaur!

minotaur is dead. that was easy enough. Now to work on shoring upmour defenses. first, I want a the caverns to be secure. to that purpose, I am installing a drawbridge and a bunch of walls. our entrance requires another drawbridge.

[Angle]

Quick question, when do I hand the fort over? I got it in the middle of summer.

[Dsarker]

Well, either you can hand it over after a year, so next middle of summer. Or you could hand it over next spring. Or you could hand it over the spring after that.

[Angle]

Mmmk. I'll try and hand it over by the end of the day.

BEGIN LOG

Welp, I've looked through the fortress some- seems that we have a lot of dead dwarfs in the halls. So I had some more crypts built.

More goblins! oh my. Well, at least I have that drawbridge built, if I can get it hooked up before they arrive...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO ONES BUILT IT? INCOMPETENT FOOLS!

oh dear.

well, alright then, SEND OUT THE MILITIA!

Hmm.

This time, we only lost two or three brave dwarves to the goblin hordes. How fortunate.

[WillowLuman]

Mkay back! What's happenni...

...

...

...What.

The.

FUCK?

I think we should revert back to a save before the goblins arrived, and have the retconned turns be prophetic nightmares.
