Oh and Conan's child decided to try and kill Cheveux. Luckily his military training mad him immune to such a cheap death.

Moonstone, 5
We seem to lack a broker. And manager. And bookkeeper. And chief medic. Urist McHuman is completely unaffected by his surroundings and is perfectly happy.


He will be all of them. Apart from chief medic. NRDL has been told to avoid mining, because an unstable dwarf with a pick is not a good thing. One of the military is now being made chief medic. In the words of some guy I forgot, "Our economy isn't failing! On the contrary, our coffin business is booming!"  Sadly, Cheveux now refuses to eat, drink, or even make atyl longswords.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.


Meanwhile, back at the fortress, chaos continues and the coffins are being made at a terribly slow pace. Oh and trigg punched firelordsky's brain out. Cheveux remains moping at the pastures. I'm really beginning to feel unhappy.

Opal, 5
The halls of history remain uncarved. One of the hammerdwarves was wounded by Mistem. She now lies unconscious by the stairs, unable to drag herself to the hospital. NRDL then was hurt by our other miner. To cheer everyone up, a party was organized.

It did not work. Urist McHuman  was then possessed. G then started throwing his belongings everywhere and screamed while running in circles. McHuman then started on something. THen,

Trigg later went berserk, and was struck down by Sarvesh. The fire is destroying the second cavern level (and as Jaxy would have said "the fps"). For some reason, Kadol the brewer refuses to move from the catapult. Is he trying to fire himself out of it or something?
Califier chose this time to give birth to a girl. Maybe life can continue... Looks like Kadol has been trying to destroy Jaxy's catapult for an entire month, and finally succeeded.

Obsidian, 5
Mistem seems to be recovering. Logem, Cheveux's eldest son, went berserk. He was quickly killed by Sarvesh, which probably made Cheveux (standing nearby) feel even worse. Perfect time for a siege! Luckily, only plump helmet men. Sadly, Sibrek, child, was stricken by melancholy. Another one of Cheveux's children. A few ambushes also spotted, quickly destroyed. More and more ambushes, just like last season. Meanwhile, the plump helmet men clumsily run towards us. Sodel the tanner also went berserk. He was killed by Zuglar, who was having a break from military duty a few urists away.
After the battle, Califier went out to seek her child. Only to find a mutilated corpse. A swordsdwarf has been injured by an ambusher's arrow. He'll live.

Granite, 6
Generic ambushes, as always. Cheveux finally died of thirst. I've killed Over a hundred enemies, and a few dwarves too.
(OOC: katana leads with 112 kills. Quintijn has 56, Ifeno 7980. Califier 58. Conan 48. Atomic Avocado 64.)

[jaxy15]

Crap, Starwound is going downhill.
Also fireblobs seem to be common these days.

[Firelordsky]

I hate you Trigg.

[Cheveux]

Is there one of my child still alive and not about to die of melancholy? If there is, he/she must continue my work at the forge and make weapons to protect the people that are still alive!

[melkor]

could you pls update the first post because now it looks like nobody has been  dorfed.

it will make thing easier to see who has been dorfed and who hasn't.

[katana]

OP was a list of head of <whatevers>. I'll add a list if you want. Unfortunately, update #16 crashed while I was typing (browser, not save), so all I have of it are these screenshots:

Cheveux's child dies of thirst. How nice. NRDL actually seems... happy now. Good to see that some of us are recovering. Nobody's in the hospital either. Everyone just seems so happy that they're not being punished. I found a nice surprise in our cage traps.

Various livestock is being killed so I have less to think about. I think I'm sort of understanding what Jaxy meant by the "FPS", not entirely, but I can feel a difference. Yeah, it's almost as if time runs more slowly sometimes. Painfully slowly, every moment feels like days.

Felsite, 6
Migrants.
1: Kol, stonecrafter (male)
He's a very good stonecrafter and also has some minor combat experience. You are now an engraver, Kol.
2: Erush, miner (male)
Also a siege operator and a very bad hammerdwarf. You'll be our new engineer, and of course a miner.
3: Ushrir, potter (male)
Wow. Potter? In a fortress with no clay? Learn to use glass, we have plenty.

So, there are now another three in the fort. How nice. Meanwhile, Atomic Avocado is on a slime killing spree for no apparent reason. And then, a siege. All I see currently are sapphire men. Chaaaaaaarge. Actually I'm going to have a nap. Go ahead Ifeno. Zuglar, Conan's wife, died from thirst after refusing food and drink for months.
Alright, I came back to find a crossbow squad still needing dismemberment, so we went on and smashed them to pieces. All that remains is a spearman squad to the east, and up north there's another crossbow squad. Kol, one of the entrance guards and only a novice, had both arms cut badly by another group I didn't notice before. He managed to drag himself out of there though. Then Kadol dies of thirst, like Zuglar, after not eating or drinking or anything...
Then more and more invaders, still sapphire men. Unlike the goblisn and gremlins, they're actually sorta organized. Then Zulban, some baby, dies of thirst. Oh, she was NRDL's daughter. Ah well.

Hematite, 6
Sapphire men continue to attack. It was finally over when Conan's squad came out to help, killing everyone left. Ah, finally we can relax. I wonder what happened to the elves, no sign of them this spring.

OOC: I think the FPS is due to the fire thing in the caverns evaporating stuff. And yes, I do realize the possibility of an elven "siege" murdering my FPS.

[Tersr]

May I please have the stonecrafter Kol? Name him Tersr please.

[Cheveux]

I am please to see that at least my spirit lives on in the weapons I made. My true goal has been fulfilled.

[NRDL]

OOC: ~20 FPS atm. Damn you fire blob.

Hematite, 6
Reports say the fiery blob of cavern #2 is setting fire to the entire cavern level. That can't be a good thing.
THE FPS IT BURNS
Wait, Jaxy? Was that you?

Well then, Sarvesh's squad have been put back on duty, and we'll work on replacing everything that Dsarker was later.

...

Malachite, 6

Urist McHuman

If we could get a few more marksmen I could try and kill that annoying fire blob. Too bad there weren't any migrants this season, maybe next time... I've been making all these amazing crossbows, but we don't have anyone to give them to. Maybe I should make bolts.

I'm building a little memorial in the barracks, for everyone to remember past soldiers. I'll do better, just later.

Galena, 6
Fires continue in the caverns. Animals continue to be butchered to improve my headaches. And then another sapphire man siege. I suppose we'll have a lot of star sapphires to work with if we ever have jewelers. I always wonder why they come riding horses, their mounts always just run away and slow them down. This time I'm considering being a bit more patient, I'm too lazy to charge out there, and everyone else seems kinda tired too. Oh yeah, then humans came too. They just rode by the sapphire men, said hi and stuff, then continued to camp at our outpost borders. I'm estimating 50 enemies in the combined sieges, not including the retarded cowardly horses.
Hey, it looks like the humans are actually charging towards us- wait nope. They just moved forward a bit then stood there. Waiting. What do they want? We've got thousands of units of food, and don't rely on trade anyway, so they're not waiting us out. Unless they don't know that. There's a lot they don't know, humans. While the sapphire men seem to know too much... I think they're creating some sort of formation. I don't really see the point, since it'll be broken the moment their mounts see us.
Hm, looks like the crossbowmen are making a bad attempt at shooting Kol (eastern entrance guard). Let's charge now, I'm really getting bored.
Immediately, their horses saw us and scattered. Sapphire men and humans were bumping into each other, confused and distracted, while we began the attack. Their crossbowmen tried (and pathetically failed) to shoot us, with no effect. Then an ettin ambush revealed itself, but we didn't care. By the time we reached the archers, they had run out of bolts and were running for their lives. NRDL ran outside to hopefully join the fighting, but everyone was already half-dead...

And then, a crash. What the hell is causing them.  I'm off to work on ardentdikes now, so I'll figure that out later. At least not much was lost this time Only the actual siege.
