Mine is that my spirit is the personified essence of one legendary military dwarf (Dead of old age) who's passion for finally getting a decent fight drives him on in an insane undead quest for personal satisfaction.

A goblin getting a cheap shot with a crossbow does not count.

The bonk on the head of my initial victim was a curious happenstance that he acted on to avoid suspicion. He is slightly impatient and didn't bother to hide it next time around.

(Thinking stuff up on the fly FTW)

Arzun's Log, Final:
That's it. I've had it with this place. The sieges, moods, management, eye-burning eldritch abominations from the depths, it's all too stressful. I'll remain the baron. I've had the framework for a rather opulent housing area dug out, but the next overseer can do whatever they want with it. Good riddance, responsibility.


Here is the save, The Master.

Arzun: Wes, you're in-charge of running the fortress! I QUIT! *dashes off to his throne room*

Wes: WHAT?!?!?!?!? HEY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU QUIT?! COME BACK!! I CAN'T...run a fortress...Oh, horse-shit.


5th of Moonstone:

"IT FAILED!!!! YEEHEHEE...AHAHAHA..AAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!"

As if I don't have enough distraction from the Armokdamned chanting from the goblins on the surface and the grunting from those cavefish people from below, NOW some guy I don't even know has gone stark raving mad! OH ARMOK, THERE GOES THE PANTS...AND THE SHIRT...OH ARMOK, HE JUST SHAVED HIS BEARD!!!!!!!! HIDE THE CHILDREN!

10th of Moonstone:
I'm really frustrated. I can't even get to be bedroom(or rather bedhole) without some ass telling me that they misplaced something!!! SPEAKING OF WHICH-*blood spatter*

16th of Moonstone:
I was just looking through the stock records, when I noticed to my horror the reason why that dwarf went mad!

NO A DROP OF BOOZE LEFT AT ALL! I've ordered the brewers to make more of it ASAP!

23rd of Moonstone:

Wow, as if we didn't have enough mouths to feed! NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCREAMING AND YELLING!!!!!!

30th of Moonstone:
I've ordered the engravers to start smoothing and engraving Arzun's Bedroom/office/EVERYTHING in hopes that he will take back his job. It's only been about a month, but I hate being overseer!!!

1st of Opal:
I've joined the military! I don't give a shit if I'm the overseer, I CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL I FEEL LIKE! IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVE A HAMMERER!

5th of Opal:

Sphala has given birth to another baby?! DON'T PEOPLE KNOW WE'RE STILL UNDER SIEGE! I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS SHIT FOR MUCH LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CAN'T FEED AN ENTIRE TOWN!!!!!!!!! AND THE WORST PART??!? WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY BOOZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7th of Opal:

AS SOON AS THIS ARMOKDAMNED WINTER IS OVER, I'M GOING TO FIND THE NEAREST HOLE, JUMP IN, AND HOPE I DIE QUICKLY!!!!!!!!

27th of Opal: the madman(whom I found out "afterwards" was a girl) has died from thirst. I had locked the fool in her room to ensure she couldn't visually scar anymore innocent dwarves, which doomed the poor thing of course.

6thhh of Obsiaan::
THE CREATURE HAS SOMEHOW GOTTEN THROUGH THE WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW TH-

6th of Obsidian(later):

DERM IS A HERO!!!! IN A SINGLE SWING, HE DECAPITATED THE FOWL BEAST!!!! In honor of his achievement, i'm going to order the miners(since i'm now a soldier) to dig out a giant tomb in memory of his bravery! On a side note, the militia commander, Peregar, had his left leg gored by the beast, and is now being treated by the good professor. The children dance around his bed, laughing and chanting "The commander's a coward!"! What rascals! I think i'll join in!

14th of Obsidian:
THE GOBLINS HAVE LEFT!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE ARMOK!!!!! THE SIEGE HAS BEEN LIFTED! Now get back to work.

16th of Obsidian:
I really hate-

 OH MY GOSH! WHY IS THERE A SKELETON BEHIND ME?! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT GOT THERE, BUT IT'S BEING BURIED ASAP!

1st of Granite:
WINTER'S OVER, IT'S SPRING, AND I CAN'T FIND A HOLE DEEP ENOUGH TO KILL MYSELF IN! The next dwarf to complain to me get's to be overseer, I'VE FUCKING HAD IT!!!!!!!!!! THE MINER'S WOULD RATHER STAND AROUND THE WELL I HAD BUILT THEN DIG OUT THE TOMB FOR DERM! GOOD FUCKING DAY!

Here's the save and good luck!

Who was the character Kalugog's new incarnation replaced? If that is an more fervent worshipper, the possession arc can work, in that Asёn Gemmined stuck her soul back in a new body. Having such an experience, including meeting her deity in person, would have driven her from being a very loyal follower to the deepest fundamentalism. The experience of death might have dirven her a bit (more) insane as well.

If it's just some follower, then simply mark it down as a dwarf being inspired by her example and considering changing his/her name to Kalugog for a while, but thinking better of it later. This dwarf will change his/her name back for now, but will take a new name based on his/her own deeds later, possibly multiple times.

The only thing that happened in general was the death of 71% of the fort, and that wasn't really worth mentioning.

When it reaches my go, instead of doing a journal I'll post up my events in summary and I'll make it fancy soon after. Sorry in advance if I miss the new year alert by a week or so  :P.

PS. Not used to default texture, but I'll make it work.
