Awesome Baby Stories
« on: October 29, 2011, 01:45:35 am »
What it sounds like. Post the best thing a baby has ever done in your fortress.

I've actually got two. One is better, but I have picture evidence for the other.

First, a baby in my fort killed a forgotten beast, after being dropped by its mother and left for dead. This was in large part due to luck, as the forgotten beast was a giant termite and wasted time spewing deadly dust which, as it turned out, caused mild headaches for a few seconds. And the baby died soon afterward, thanks to blood loss from severed legs. But still, a baby killed a forgotten beast.

The other happened during a siege. I normally take dwarves with babies out of the military, but I don't always catch them and they often get carried into battles without my knowledge. One time this happened:



Yes, the baby punched the troll. My military definitely needs this baby.

I draft only women into my military, TEH BABBIES ARE TEH MEAT SHIELD.

EDIT: But really - the survival rates for dwarves with babies are a lot higher.

Literal baptism by fire? No wonder you're so fascinated with Magma...
