... That's all? No artifacts? No tidbits? Not even telling us what we're sieged by?

It sounds like it is all part of his master plan.

[ImBocaire]

Hmmm. Maybe one of the artifacts is decorated with an image of him constructing his nefarious scheme.

It is cold. Cold as hell.

I pause as my dwarven guards continue on, to look at the fortress i will spend my next year at.

The lack of movement allows the cold to seep through, and I shudder and curse at it.

As I continue on, I remember losing the game of goblin hold em that led me to be here. I curse the dwarven king and his unnatural card playing skill, and I duck down to enter the fortress, my head scraping the top of the tunnel. I am greeted by the dwarfs, who seem annoyed by my presences, not unreasonable, as I am the leader of a few human towns. As they fill me in on the fortress, it becomes apparent that the previous leaders were either murderous, or just insane. After hearing about the dwarfs, I lean towards the latter.

 

[TheOddDemon]

...How kind of other Leaders to not lable the leavers. Anyway, as I walk in, a dwarf runs in shouting that we are under seige by white tigermen. I order a wall built between the fortress and the grizzly bear. Also, it appears someone left some food rotting in the corner in the depot.

Edit: can someone give me a quick rundown on how to post pictures?

[TheOddDemon]

After setting up some weapon traps, I bring down the bridge.

The tigermen charge the starving bear in the hall, he wounds two before falling.

a Legendary miner wanders out, and breaks the seige by majorly wounding every tigermen. Seeing this, it is a wonder why they do not wipe out this race entirely.

Also, I have began to keep this diary, in the case that the dwarves see fit to have me have an "accident". In other news, I have have no will to end my life before its time, so I dare not touch any of the levers. Instead, I build my own.

For my screenshots I used Alt+Print Screen to capture the window, pasted it into MS Paint or another image program, then uploaded it using Tinypic.com or another image storage site. However, Windows 7 has an faster and easier way of doing it if you're using that, but I can't hep you there.

Thanks to everybody who's contributed in this thread so far! It's been a lot of fun to read. ^^

[TheOddDemon]

After killing the people ignoring the burrow restrictions, a frogman invasion has gotten in through the water supply, after the preivous leader flooded the fortress. hold on while i try to salvage the fortress.

[TheOddDemon]

Huh. They left but not without murdering the squad i sent after them and left around thirty tantruming dwarfs. I think you should go on to the next person and skip me.

[Demonic Spoon]

Well my trap worked then? 

[Demonic Spoon]

... That's all? No artifacts? No tidbits? Not even telling us what we're sieged by?

Artifacts Created:

Squeezedorbs the Combat of Fliers, a dacite Mechanism.
The Venerable Blanket, a green glass goblet
The Silky Quicknesses, a Sheep Wool Robe
Craftquests the Dented Sport, a llama wool short skirt

Tidbits: I made a memorial hall to myself, putting my ghost to rest.

[Crazy Cow]

What exactly was your trap, Demonic Spoon? If you overdid it, then I think TheOddDemon should savescum. If not, I'll pass the turn on to the next turn, unless you want another go, TheOddDemon.

[Demonic Spoon]

A easily avoidable water flood trap. But it sounds like this was the flooded stairway to the UG Cavern, that happened due to some mistakes with aquifiers, and that I had actually forgotten about.

sweet jeebus i'm up next


edit:

and I've noticed how succession fortresses go to hell after a few turns, whereas every fortress I've ever made ever I just can't kill. Drop a cave in on the most popular dwarves, explode the booze... my little dorfs keep trundling on, the only sure fire way being visiting the circus. yet in succession forts, it all goes to hell. i mean, this is a trap-fort but still. 

[Demonic Spoon]

I'm much more careful in my normal forts than in succession forts because, in succession forts the problem won't be mine anymore after the year is out.

EDIT: How's it going zehive?
