I was actually waiting for a Dwarf who was noticeably intoxicated and did something rather amusing/different and name him after you, had not forgotten about you don't you worry!

I would say everyone should join up in the Watch. I have a feeling they're going to have some happy times ahead of them.

Water doesn't evaporate unless at 1/7 depth. Either build an escape passage for the water or rebuild the pump in the opposite direction.

So, what DID happen to Melfice?
How bad is it?

Regardless, nice update!

14th of Granite, 59

Another Elf caravan arrived today...

...and they were not dropped into the chasm.

Fools! Fools have taken over after I relinquished control of this pit of misery.

16th of Granite, 59

Corel came to scream at me about our ventilation system allowing miasma to spread to every level of the fort.

I had to remind him that the average dwarf is a brain-damaged alcoholic who will drop and forget about whatever they are doing to get a drink or something to eat.

Date Unspecified, Mid-Spring, 59

Corel has begun to worry about the lone unicorn at the old gate. Don't know why, it started its vigil back when I was still overseer.

Maybe we should build a ballista back there and start some guys training using the foul beast as target practice.

Or maybe it is the herald of the Dread Lord Severangel who desires his release from the Infernal Pit

16th Granite 59, Early Spring

Both in cruelty
And in wrath
The REAPERS came today
An AMBUSH visited
this gray path
And took the pack away

At least there's one cocksucker that won't be reproducing anytime soon. Note: Suggest Overseer to display remains over entrance to deter future attacks.

Date Unspecified, Early Spring

Spotted the unicorn again today while out on rounds. Stock still, soulless taring into the heart of the abandoned fortress. Waiting...watching. But for what? Perhaps when (or if) the Dungeon Master arrives, we can get to work on the captive herd and find some clue to its behavior.

Wigmund · 01-03-2010, 01:31 AM

Pity the only way wild animals are able to be named is by having them kill dwarfs. Otherwise I'd say let's name that unicorn something sad and remorseful.

Meet the Queen

So this is our ruler, who goes by the name of Queen Mauve. I tend to question her sanity of why she came HERE of all places, but she seems to keep to herself mostly. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. She also spends a lot of her time hanging around animals.

Anyway, let's have a look at her.

Oh, err...

Mommy.

Bwahahahahah! Perfect! Sheer perfectness on that queen!

That unicorn. Somethin's not right about it.

...I vote we kill it and eat it. Problem solved.

Also, for some reason, the overseer turned the pump on and left it that way.

...I just hope he isn't planning to make a water-based weapon. That could end badly for the fort.

3rd Slate, 59

We're diggin' under the river of undead and damned creatures so as to get at the other side.

...Does nobody else see the problem with this plan?!

8th Slate, 59

Guess not. Oh well. More work to do. So long as I don't get bitten by a spi-

About that river...is there a way to maybe dig out a pit directly below it to divert it into a magma pipe and kill all the undead? Or maybe even flood that river with another river?

Wigmund · 01-03-2010, 11:54 AM

Diverting the river into the magma pipe would just create an obsidian wall and potentally more flooding problems and since water works in strange ways in DF, flooding the underground river with water from above ground could literally create the situation where the water from both reaches the surface and we have all those zombie critters running around topside.

Best thing to do is to try and kill all the undead since creatures in the underground rivers don't re-spawn after they're wiped out. But since we don't have any champions yet, that'll take a while.

And Corel: I want more "Meet the ---" mini-updates.
