You may also want to start thinking how you'll empty the Pit House.

You all turned Swordthunders into a bastion of madness that seems to warp in on itself under its own hatred of sanity.  I'm so happy!

Pour water into it and dig it out?

BTW, the pit house is where the magmas draining, right?

Also, when we can take on the demons in there, as I don't think the now 34 of us will be able to get them.

Oh, and goblins have attacked, cutting us off, killing me and you, and 6 others (three migrants). And a pterosaur demon is chasing a few of the dwarves as I type this.

Oh, one of the 5 demons killed itself! Yay! Just 4 more!

Pictures up soon!

Ah, er, um, huh. So now we're at 30, and I'm desperatly trying to seal off everything, because our military is getting slaughtered. Good sign.

Ah, 28. But, I think we're sealed now. We should survive. We just need to break the two ambushes above us now...

The Pit House is the structure built into one of the Glowing Pits.  SOMEONE who shall remain nameless -
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- thought the best way to see how deep the magma was in Hell was to remove one of the walls around the staircase and discovered the answer was "completely".   :P

Amber Demons aren't inherently dangerous, they kill themselves/eachother half the time.  The Pterosaur, Flame and Spring Green Demons are the real killers.

I noticed. :D

That's why we're at 25 now. I sent a suicide squad to slow them down, and they... succeeded.

I've now died twice, (as in my dorfed self) and it's not even summer yet.
Still, the main level of hell is almost completely dry now. All that needs to get done is patch the hole in the wall I made, kill the demons, and we're good to go!

Oh dear.  The only breach into Hell should be the one Mitchewawa made to build the pumps in the South-east area and possibly the one to the west that leads up from the Pit House.  You do have some good news though.  Only one type of demon can actually spawn and wander into hell/the fort.  The bad news is it's the flying Pterosaur Demons.

Do not pour water in. It'll harm the priceless furniture.

Okay, an actual update. Honest.

The liason finally meets us, and...



Of course, I nominate myself for the role...



But upon hearing my name, he turned tail and ran off. Man, what did I do?





In other news, the extending of the axle into hell has finally reached the end!


(If anyone needs it for anything, there it is...)



Horrors! Goblins have us surrounded. Two squads are out there, bows and maces. As good as our 1 man army is, we won't win the fight. The hatches are locked.

Quite a few of us were locked out. Myself included, apparently.




However, I just kinda woke up again, in another guy. Profit?

Also, to help security, two weapon traps are being built in the entrance. Truely we can hold them now!

The date is 17th Felsite.

Those archways have saved the fort innumerable times from goblins trolls and the odd badger.  And you have a lot to live up to as the fort's baron.  The last baroness in the original fort was a one-dwarf siegekilling murder machine.  40 goblins and 20 trolls sitting on the front doorstep were considered 'light exercise'.

Oddly enough, we're not a barony. He just left when I clicked me. Only an expedition leader. Odd.

I'd like to think the emissary just went "wait... this place is SWORDTHUNDERS?!... Uh... I left something at home.... BYE!"
