Aaaand my first month has passed! Highlights:
- A horde of migrants (mostly got slaughtered by skeletal muskoxen);
- Crusher construction began;
- Magma pumpstack plans laid out;
- Plans to make a decent military instead of the fuckshitting mess we have now;

[Johuotar]

Now imagine that chasing dwarves. Somehow...

[Deviled]

It hops around. Like a skeletal legless frog. That is a polar bear.

[Gizogin]

Hooray, magma pump stack!  If I recall correctly, it's not actually all that far to the surface, so hopefully you'll be able to finish it during your turn.

Urist Imiknorris died from thirst. While in panic room. Which was sealed despite me not giving orders to seal it.

For future reference, forge level can be accessed by FBs from the volcano. Someone should do something about it.

I blame Aussie.

Yeah, the third cavern layer is hugely vulnerable, especially to fliers.  I think I managed to secure the second cavern layer, but I can't remember (even if I did, I probably set something up to blow a hole in the wall at the first sign of danger or something; again, I can't remember).  If you can, you should definitely try to secure the third layer, at least so that the forges and smelters are safe from... interlopers.  There was a fire imp during my turn, and it didn't end well.

They think I killed Urist Imiknorris.  They're half-right.  I was just about to do him in when the poor fool tripped into the panic room and hit the lever that sealed it.  I'm not gonna complain though.

More teasers time!



Can you guess what could this possibly be?!

In other news, the magma is pumped to the level right below the surface. Brainstorming for applications time!

Time to continue the insanity.

Why did you leave a safe path?  The bridges could easily have covered the whole corridor.

Magma applications?  Let's see...
Magma cannon
Freeze trap (use the magma to keep the water liquid, then remove it to freeze the water)
Obsidianization trap
Magmafalls everywhere!

Those are just the obvious ones.

Because this is the only entrance into the fortress. Also, the bridges are automated, raising and lowering every 100 ticks or so.

Too much work on all four counts, but freeze trap is probably the most viable of them. I'll see what I can do.

I've got a 3-z high free space measuring 41x55. I'm planning to build some useless monument there. Now accepting ideas!

[Dariush]

Everything is going to shit.

In the northern corner: a horde of migrants on a bridge. In the southern corner: a berserk camel in the totally inaccessible trade depot. Migrants can't pass the camel, soldiers can't access the depot to kill it. Add Yakety Sax and get the awesomest chase scene ever. What should I do?

Do what any good overseer would do. Put a window in so they can watch from their new Grand-level office while having a drink.

Isn't that why crossbows are for?
