Wait a second... There are KAMIKAZE DEMONS in Dwarf Fortress?

No, they just have the ability to melt an entire squad of unfortunate militiadwarves if they all cluster around one when they kill it.

[Mego]

So more like the bombs from Final Fantasy.

[Girlinhat]

Beings made of fire are known to explode.  Beings with a non-directed dust attack tend to kill themselves upon attacking.  This can cause strange suicide bombers as the demon breathes dust, kills itself in the process, and explodes.

You know, I'm almost tempted to PM Toady to tell him I finished Hell.  Considering it IS classed as the current endgame and all.  Not without the say-so of everyone here though. 

Oh, and because someone asked, I started with about 110 dwarves when I first entered Hell and I'm down to only 41.  That said, a LOT of deaths were from dwarves being locked outside during sieges and minimal migrant waves (generally only 5-6 per season).

I also have a windmill designated for construction in Hell near the strawberry farming plot, just to see what will happen.  I'll slap down a beehive there too shortly.  Just managing dwarves walling off the area around that syndrome beast.  A farmer suffocated near it, so I'm assuming he stepped in it's blood

edit: Oh, I forgot that I'm also having a restraint set down beside the blood pools.  Gonna tie a kitten to it for SCIENCE to see if it truly is the cause of their deaths.

You're going to end up having Toady give demons the ability to phase through objects

Even I think that'd be a bit far and unfair.

A planter's dragging a stray cat down to be chained by a blood pool.  I'll keep an eye on the restraint to hopefully get pictures for Science.  Never had a proper syndrome beast in my fort before

[ThatAussieGuy]

The cat is in place.  Now we wait for it to take a step to the west or south...

Quick question: Am I dead yet?

[Girlinhat]

Toady reads the forums, rest assured.  He sorta does that "all knowing" thing, but never interferes in the afairs of mortals.  Until the insults start flying and he locks a thread.  Or ThreeToe, it's hard to tell who does the locking specifically.

Ah, I see *cowers from the all-seeing Toady One*.


I've switched to a Pastured Cat as the restrained one just sat on the chained spot.  SCIENCE should occur shortly...

edit: Little bastard's sitting on the same spot as the previous one.  I've ordered a bunch of cats to be pastured there.  Now we'll see if it's contagious too!

[ThatAussieGuy]

We have a kill.  Delayed exposure and the game crashed (something about the blood tiles makes it consistently happen, so I'm not going near them again).  That WAS a fun little experiment.  Just did it to kill time while the Glowing Pits are covered


Uh-oh....

Incoming goblin siege, one of the hatches is broken (from a bunch of trolls that got past the Tombs, albeit not by much) and the Swift Tombs are all the way down in Hell. 

TAKING ALL BETS!
