You'd need to simultaneously open a warehouse of booze barrels whilst declare him Most Interesting Dwarf in the World while he is riding a magma-powered sperm whale and striking down undead elephants.

Can you strike down undead elephants?

With magma, all things are possible.

Why haven't dwarves brewed magma into booze yet?

Because it doesn't naturally contain anything that can be fermented. Research DOES show that with enough melted organics in it, you could totally ferment it.

How would magma with dissolved Elf in it taste if fermented into alchohol?

Rather gneiss, I presume.

Why are my dwarves perpetually "fine" despite my forcing them to watch their children die and rot?

They got used to tragedy as soon as they realized you werent going to stop.

Why do my dwarves fall into permanent depression if they suffer any injury?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Because psychology is currently bugged.

Why do elves not realist that wooden swords and spears are much worse than wooden maces and hammers?

Because splinters.
Also because wooden maces and hammers aren't actually that much better?

Why do dwarves with moods seem to be under the opinion that golden swords are worthwhile?

Shiny can blind you, shoot you, cut you, break you, corrupt you, or attract invaders. The Shiny Divine Metal is far worse.

How is Adamantine so light?

It is known that metals' unique properties are result of free electrons floating within crystal structure. It is also known that majority of mass is the core of the atom (neutrons and protons) and not electrons. Remove atoms from the equation and you get metal, but without excessive mass.

Why do caravaneers don't seem to be bothered when they roll into the fortress full of corpses?

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

They are. They just don't usually have nervous breakdowns the way your dwarves will immediately, because that's unprofessional.

What IS miasma made of?

The stuff the dreams are made of. Terrible terrible dreams. Menaced with rotten flesh.

How do trees manage to penetrate several levels below if they collapse during the wildfire?

Dwarves only leave a very small amount of space between floors on different levels. With the trees being as heavy as they are they're able to punch through the first level, which combined with debris from the first collapse is enough to punch through the second floor, is enough to punch through the third...

How can dwarves stand only a few feet away from a pool of magma and not die in the heat?

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

Dwarves obviously have a natural resistance to heat from millennia after millennia of their ancestors using magma to heat their forges



Why is it that dwarves can use ores of lead, uranium, and cyanide for making things to store food in without dieing from eating said food
Logged
Fueled by caffeine, nicotine, and a surprisingly low will to live.
Cryxis makes the best typos.
