From the Journal of Oddom "DivineCoffeeBinge" Mersethzulban, Chef, Jeweler, Fortress Founder Another human with a crossbow showed up, only this one was with a caravan. They were so impressed by our guards beating the unlife out of zombie ravens with their bare hands (because I guess weapons just slow them down or some crap) that they asked if they could stay and kill things too. Thank Armok the tavern is open.

Throw me on the dwarf pile. Hell, throw me on the overseer pile too if you don't mind. What version is this using, anyway? 0.44.03 as the last 2017 release, or something else?Neddy Seagoon posted:Oh wow, I haven't seen a good old succession fort in ages.

PurpleXVI posted:Man, I'm a rude chemist who keeps getting into bitter arguments. That's totally not a recipe for someone getting poisoned sooner or later. Yes, they do something useful. Not useful for a brand new fort though. Libraries are where dwarfs meet their intellectual needs. Dwarfs have intellectual needs now. If you have books you keep 'em here and dwarfs read them and get happy thoughts. Dwarfs can also ponder concepts or discuss concepts, and this will be done even in a completely empty library, but books are fun. Through a complex production chain you can produce blank scrolls or books, and if your library has tables, chairs, and blank scrolls scholars can write brand new books there. You can assign dwarfs to work in the library as either scholars who eventually produce new books, or as scribes who will make copies of existing books. You can sell the copies to caravans. And that's where your Chemist comes in. If assigned to a library as a scholar your chemist will ponder, talk about, and write about chemistry. He can make discoveries by pondering the concept of flasks or whatever, but for now this doesn't actually change the tech level of the civilization. If he's really skilled other scholars may come from far and wide to talk with him and read his books. High skill makes higher quality books, which are worth more as trade goods and probably more satisfying to read. If you assign random unskilled dwarfs to be scholars, they make awful self-indulgent navel gazing books like this:  This guy wrote a bad essay about the time he changed careers from dyer to dancer.  This fella thinks the world wants a 20 page essay about the time he became an apprentice.  And this one is a terrible book talking about the author's previous terrible book.

Journal of M_Gargantua, a very busy manager of ValleySilences in the year 565 5th of Malachite:  Today IPA Regulations was born: Daughter of u brexit ukip it and Epsilon Moonshade. He is their fifth child and forth daughter. Making her a cousin of Corbeau, and aunt of Grey Hunter and LostCosmonaut. She dreams of one day making a great work of art.  Meanwhile, excavations reveal yet another large cavern. This one with an even larger underground lake.   Our growing barracks is learning from the best.  17th Malachite; The Caravan departs, and within moments they are surprised as they are ambushed by a beast! The WereTortoise Tiqua Nodade has descended the mountain! The WereTortoise is slow and heavily armored in its shell. A Human Merchant is quickly is overwhelmed by the assault. And Jamsque and Balon sally forth from the barracks to risk their lives for our defense.   But they stop short, watching a miracle. Iba Risluzin, one of the human guards of the caravan, expertly engages the beast in single combat. Saving the life of the wounded merchant by inches. Blocking each claw and tooth so as to not allow a scratch on her. Gracefully leaping away from the bone crushing swipes of the beasts huge legs.  Her Silver halberd a flashing crescent spewing blood from the exposed legs, severing muscle, tendons, and nerves. One crushing blow cracks its shell and the beast howls in pain.  With one final pounce the beast attempts to claim Iba’s life, but she impales the Halberd through its guts and the rapid blood loss finally takes its life.   Arban performs the grand honor of dumping the body  Tiqua Nodades body makes a satisfying sacrifice to Torment as the skin burns away in the magma. Our moments of triumph are short lived though, from the bloody gravel at the foot of the slope a severed arm is reconstituted by the evil of this place. It lunges and grabs McGibby who tries futilely to fight back. The unnatural strength of the severed werecreature is multiplied again by the twisted effect of this mountainous graveyard.  The undead arm bruises every inch of her and wrenches joints loose. She cries out in intense pain before collapsing unconscious. Arban and theshim attempt to save her, but are themselves extensively harmed before Jamsque and Balon finally crush the arm with their hammers.   Even with the medical staff and supplies we have, their chances of survival aren’t great.    StrangeAeon and Doctor Pharnecks quickly bring them to the newly stocked hospital    Arban is lucky to make a rapid recovery. Pharnakes may be far more skilled than I have given him credit for. The shim is quickly diagnosed, needing Suturing, Bone Immobilization, and Wound dressing. Having lost his ability to grasp and having multiple torn tendons and ligaments as well as moderate tissue damage  McGibby is likely the worst off. Requiring cleaning, surgery, Setting, Dressing, Suturing, Traction, and full immobilization. Her body is broken, having lost the use of his hands and possibly paralyzed from the waist down due to trauma to her spine. Torn Tendons, Ligaments, and Compound fractures exacerbate the issues of her possible recovery.  While they are confined to beds, the farm and water source is finished and filled. Multiple wells are being dropped to this clean source of water so that no more dwarves must step outside.  30th of Galena; To celebrate the excitement of the past few months, I throw some special statue commissions to adorn our growing temple and statue garden. The Random Corruption of Creatures, which is a simple depiction Iba Risluzin striking down Tiqua Nodades. I am far more proud of what the masons came up with for my other requests: The Armored Memory. To commemorate the return of Chamberwaddles to the crown. I think the dwarves here will feel some sort of attachment to such a great moment that one of our own precipitated. clockwork chaos has secured her place in history, and it is to be remembered.  The Treaties of Vigor, Megane beating Anoni.  And The Bloody Complexity, which is Anoni being thrown into the mountain  And now the summer is coming to a warm and rainy end.

Eric the Mauve posted:Please tell me where you got that font. Its the weird outcome of installing phobeus on 45.05, then installing TWBT, then setting a fixed width, then zooming in two clicks on startup. So I think technically its Phoebus_16x16_text.png. (it may be Jecobus_10x16.png that TWBT comes with for all I know.) Then in post processing I select the text and boost the gamma contrast and saturation a little bit. Which I'm now realizing I didn't do for the combat text this time...

Yes, I knew being the doctor would get me lots of screen time. Until I get strangled to death by an arm I just amputated anyway I hope this hospital you've built me has a built in incinerator? Zombification gives a whole new meaning to biohazard waste.

Hey wait a minute, wasn't some kind of turtle demon part related to Geshud? Something about integrating a demon-turtle into the world so that there will always be murder?Addamere posted:He is an ardent worshiper of Geshud, a deity that occurs in the myths of The Banded Diamonds. Geshud is most often depicted as a male dwarf and is associated with murder, death, war, and fortresses. Yeah, here we go. So we're a bunch of monster-worshipping Vesh cultists and doomsaying Geshud cultists, settled around an evil volcano. Evil tortoises feature prominently in Geshud's mythology. We make a few sacrifices to the volcano, and shortly afterwards a weretortoise shows up. Clearly, we can interpret this as a sign of Geshud's blessing. PRAISE THE MURDERGOD
