I demand a duel against a demon.  Bring me... which are the ones that explode, again?

Red Devils explode in a cloud of dwarf-melting fire.  IF you can kill them.

Reminds me of the Black Russian from Blackadder.

Had a moment of !!Fun!! just now.  I was setting up a Spawn Trap in a spotwhere I know demons usually enter on the north wall, when a group of Spring Green Demons popped in on the masons.  They didn't manage to kill anyone, The Swift Tombs were on standby nearby just in case this happened.  An axedwarf lost an arm, but they otherwise slaughtered them.

Oh, and  Roy (Possible Doppleganger) is now a very definite corpse because he got locked outside when a pair of Goblin Ambush squads turned up outside my fort. 


edit:  I've also discovered that flying demons can spawn over glowing pits if they're against the map edge.  Gonna have to build the wall down as low as it can go so I don't get demons flying around spooking dwarves from under the floors.


edit 2:  Why the hell have no less than SIX, count that SIX ghosts decided to camp on the one section of wall I need to finish to complete the Spawn Trap?  Even the Afterlife's against my plans to conquer Hell!

They have sinned, and after death their spirits have gone to hell. Simple as that.

Had to retreat from Hell for a bit due to Demons infesting the wall where I was building (about 4-5 Spring Green Demons, Rat Demons and a Red Devil), but the dwarves are back and building once more. There's also only 57 dwarves left in the fort after the last goblin visit (no idea what 13-odd dwarves were doing outside at the time).  I'll have a look through the dwarf roster in a little bit to see who's still alive.  One or two of you did die, I do know that, but I cant remember who.

Here are the surviving forumgoers enslaved to the Wall

EveryZig  He just went beserk because he didn't get whatever he wanted for his Fey Mood.  Doren gave EveryZig a nice axe blade in the head to calm him down.

If you're not on the list, you're in a coffin.

I think it's my name. My name inevitably causes my dorf to die a violent death.

You've been dead a little while now.  You've also been properly sealed in the top level of the south-east corner.

For bonus points, you should build "bracers" against the wall.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you only died relatively recently. 

Also, it's rather annoying if a demon spawns on the wall - All construction gets halted because even if the demon's on the far opposite side of the wall, the dwarves go to build and go "ohshit, a demon!" despite it being quite a long way off.

Dwarf me please! This is awesome! Just an idea: When you're done, remove every corpse from it's coffin in order to make lots of ghosts! e.g. more ghosts than dwarves!

When it's done, post the save.  We have to decide what to do with this abomination.  I'm thinking "adventure mode gauntlet" myself.

Of course!  I don't mind revealing that I myself plan to split the save into two for myself.  In one, the dwarves move EVERYTHING from the fort into Hell to live happily ever after.  In the other;  Four "volunteers" open the adamantine spires all the way down and dig for magma through the side...

  Think about how it is to the dwarf:
