Boatmurdered was not a failure, it is one of the most successful forts in all dorf history! Everyone can pull off a drawbridge, trap corridor, drowning room or danger room-military; a safe and boring fort; but it takes someone special to pull off a fort like Boatmurdered.

Siege:
N.
1. A large scale assault by an enemy civilization. 2. A rare celebration in which the festival goers visit your fort and engage in activities such as "Pin the tail on the war dragon/giant scorpion", water polo in the magma pool, base jumping into the buzzsaw pit fun house, or admire the ingenuity of dwarven atom smashers. After the party, the guests tend to leave gifts for their hosts. 3. A valiant attack attempted by the only bravest heroes to liberate the Dwarves from their own eventual doom by an unknown, malicious force.

Plump Helmet
N.
1.A sweet, purple mushroom 2. The very basis of a fort's existence. Without plump helmets, there is no wine, and with no wine there is no life. But beware of this blessing, for ancient dwarven texts speak of forts having been drowned under a wave of lavender, no doubt having opened a portal to a hellish parrallell dimension where there is only plump helmet.

Pickaxe
N.
1. A tool most commonly used in mining. It has a long shaft, and a curved, tapering spike on the end. 2.A portable dwarven nuclear device, capable of disintegrating a 1*1 Urist block of unrefined rock into a boulder of its purest components. Dwarves have been known to level entire mountains and convert them into useless crapthe finest rock mugs with just a single copper pick. Even the mineral of the gods, adamantine: has been unable to defeat the dwarven pick. Experiments has also shown that the pick is just as effective at removing limbs from elves & goblins as it is removing minerals-rich chunks from rock.
