biosterous posted:RIP biosterous Biosterous the first lived a long life and likely would have had he not somehow found his way into the military. He notably spent his time dividing zombie corpses with a steel shortsword last year and if I remember correctly, he was an unfortunate casualty when the humans pressed the assault to the entrance ramp. He died to a war hammer and was an honorable contribution to keeping the filthy humans out of Valleysilences during The Squeezing Onslaught instead of continuing to be a fisherdwarf.

Fuubi posted:Can't see Fuubi so I guess she perished. Can I get a recount of her last moments, as well as a re-dorfing? Or humaning... The original Fuubi is down in history as dying of thirst in the winter of 565. Fuubi II seems to have bled to death in combat against the mutilated elven corpse, Dangertalon during the autumn of last year. Given her minor background in beekeeping and herbalism, I presume she was caught in the early onslaught of the zombified elves. She was a friend of the late overseer, Twybil, and you might be interested to know her parents are unknown and were possibly linked to being some unknown creature or force. Her children live on in another fort far away, 2/3 of them being nobility. I've put you on the list!

The new Volmarias is likely going to have a mental breakdown soon, having the highest stress of anyone right now and "being harrowed by the utter tragedy that is their life."

Sad King Billy posted:My dwarf went on a quest for a book then returned. Checking the world history, there seems to be two Sad King Billys in the world right now...? Both are alive, so I don't really know. The one currently we have around is an incredibly depressed animal dissector. The other one seems to have not been around since 567 as he's not recorded as witnessing any of the battles from that point on. I'm starting to think this is a bug I've seen mentioned before where traveling units never return since the crew that got sent to the tower hasn't returned yet either. That's a real shame because there's actually good military units in that group, I think.

Slate 573, no date - Scrawling of an unknown dwarf: We've put forth the measures to block ourselves off from the outside world for now. We need to take precautions to defend ourselves from the humans.  Mayor Gbuchold ordered a ban on exporting bins. The idea we were exporting anything was worth a laugh in its own respect.   Solarian and Guarstine's corpses were found in the halls. Nobody knows how they died and I can't seem to convince these lazy fuckers to get them a proper burial. Adults and kids alike are throwing tantrums, others just falling into a blank-eyed depression.  Half the children walk around like zombies themselves- the others take to playing with religious artifacts.  The slackers hanging around our food stores finally get it into their heads their going to "perform" or "slay monsters". The latter might be useful, but the former is not. They should be craftin' or haulin' too. Brother Buer isn't one of the slackers, though. He came up with a plan today to get back inside the colossus. The Bible agreed with him and signed himself up for the role of pulling the lever. We'll see how it goes. Written on the backside of the parchment, it seems to continue. Geshud! These morons left those corpses there long enough to rot! You imbeciles, you're going to get us killed! At some point one of these idjits gets around to doing something useful in Geshud's name and tosses that corpse! Sorry to ya, fellow dwarf, but proper burials are gettin' hard these days.  People are still falling into these blank-eyed trances, but at least we're seeing less fights break out. Someone got around to finishing some memorials and the ghost of IbbleBibble stopped haunting us. If I knew who it was, I'd give 'em a share of my hidden brew for actually gettin' something done around here. -21st of Slate-   By our many gods, they've done it! It's time to burn these invaders to ash! Brother Buer has dashed ahead to the ladder on his own, the madman! ~:~:Written Account of an unknown dwarf:~:~  Unknown Dwarf 1: "No, you fools! The humans are still out there! Get the hell back in here!" "Agh, you low-witted laborers! Go, NOW! Useless performers and scholars- drat you all-" A pair of young planters runs up to the raging dwarf- name still unknown to this day. They relay a message.  It was at this point the dwarf ran away screaming curses of every kind. Death decided to rear its beady eyed head at the wrong time.   Various battles raged across the mountain. In the depths, a monster hunters ran to kill the ancient beast attacking our livestock.  To the top, beyond all comprehension, the military ran out to attack the humans and undead in the entry hallways instead of going to fight the forgotten beast.    Unbelievably, the ancient crustacean reached the upper floors of the fortress. Even more unbelievably, a scholar ran up to the beast and smashed it's skull in with his foot. He merely said nothng and went back to his research.    I know at least tFUCKINGmesis, crimea, Soulex, and Guarstine are dead. Check for your names on the list, because I've got no clue if we lost anyone else. E: I went back and updated the list because I apparently am also stumbling around obliviously. Summary of what just happened: People finally start doing some work as I find two people almost randomly dead in the hallways. Blocked us off from the humans for good and then that snafu'd when I tried to melt the humans(this failed). Forgotten lobster shows up, kills some livestock and a person or two, then dies to a scholar of all things. The Flying Twybil fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Nov 6, 2019 |

My overseer character died in two weeks of me starting. At this point I'm hoping for another dragon or titan or something to come by and kill these invaders. The colossus hasn't been turned off since I pulled the lever- if I could find a way to get these people to stop panicking/enjoying stories I'd try to engineer some way to increase pressure so I could flood the entire outside in lava. corgski posted:Oh this is fantastic!

At least that is what the description of the mangled corpse actually said. Cripes, you're right. Your dwarf is fine, just stumbling around obliviously in depression and if not, probably going to be in a little while. I'll fix that.

I'm amazed that dwarfchild me has not only managed to stay alive this long, but even appears to be doing sorta well, through playing with hammers, drinking and now even helping out with chores.

You're actually in the manager noble position right now, which basically means you get a nice room in return for people being able to complain at you. Social skills-wise, Dog Kisser isn't the greatest, but you've got a lot of old military training that might need to be brought back to use as we work at training some new soldiers. You're also very good at weaving, which is what I suppose you've been doing most of the time.

~ Record of Valleysilences, kept by an unknown dwarf~ Slate 7th, year of 573 Praise be to the hardworking souls that are Air is Lava! and Cpt. Viking!  After an unknown dwarf barricaded the open entryway, they enacted an effective plan...  Long since, deep within our temples, a floodgate has remained closed. Though a visitor many took respite within, they knew not the blood of the mountain flowed behind it.  Breaking through the once sacred walls of The Golden Abbey with a pick, Cpt. Viking unleashed an easier path to the humans. Woe be to us!  Yet, woe be to them! Air is Lava stood stationed by a lever he had refashioned for days! At the illustrious broker's sign, and with Doren's forgiveness he let loose a glorious grunt as he heaved the primed lever onwards!  Foolish, impudent invaders they were, but ash they are now! Believing this was their moment for a coup, they charged in only to meet the wrath of the mountain!  They would not make it away from this place so easily- all of our artifacts have prices to pay! ~Worker's Log, Month of Slate in Year 573~  Got those humans good, we did. In their anger, they're turning on each other- their cries can be heard. Doin' that shut down some of our smelting operations, but it couldn't be helped. We don't have that many people smelting anymore anyhow.  We know there's still a few relics out there, but their recovery may have to wait. The mountain may claim them before we can. Some humans got stuck in the tunnels- they won't risk a dash through the magma mist. They'll go insane and kill each other before long. It's a grim thought for sure, but we rather prefer dealing with the undead. We're locked in now- best to just hope no migrants or traders come on by for a while. Wait for these tallfolk to move on. We've got work to do in the meantime.  I was informed that we managed to cage a human? Somehow one of them ended up in our caverns and was trapped. Only Geshud knows how, but whatever. We'll find some use for him, I suppose.  We have a good many strands of that miracle material, but using it may need to wait until we gain an experienced candidate for overseer. Many of us have mentioned we would like to see them worked into the finest gear for defending our mountain.  We've also set up some more military training and quarters, just in case. A few of our old hands have taken up their axes and hammers again to train new recruits. Hopefully it will prove to be a smart endeavor, for we've long lost hope of The Large Metals returning. I copied this from the military logs. I'm not really sure why I did, I guess someone has to keep all of this in order, though. New Military Lists~ Barricaded Heathers - Speardwarves: Camoes, Mr. Moon, Spaced God Tangles of Silver- Swordsdwarves: Haifisch, Alehkhs The Reclusive Crypts - Axedwarves: Rutile, Dog Kisser, Brother Buer, Strrrrront, Selious, NiftyBottle The Large Metals - Still Missing Archers Ho! - Marksdwarves: FrenzyTheKillbot II, Habeasdorkus II, tildes The Brave Pages - HardHead (though he's still locked away), SOLarian, turol, Cyflan They're not all training right now as we've got work to catch up on. ~A Few Days Later, Worker's Log~  Since the coast is clear, we've decided to let our metalworkers refine our adamantine into wafers. To keep it safe, we've designated all of it to be stored within the tombs below- specfically at Lpzie's tomb. I've just been informed that PetraCore, a kid, and Lord of Hats, some performer, are throwing tantrums. Lord of Hats quit after injuring Dallbun, one of our cooks. What's this fortress come to?  More people are starting to walk about obliviously or become depressed. Only a few are throwing tantrums, thank goodness. I fear we may be undone by ourselves before the year is through.  Oh for- STOP ATTACKING THE CATS! In summary: I started burning things with lava not intended for burning things. We might have lost a few masterworks, but it's anything to keep the humans back at this point. Body parts are still lying about in places and dwarves are too lazy or busy listening to stories to bother dealing with them. Something's probably going to come and kill us before the year is over if we don't loyalty cascade. Nobody's died yet, so the dwarf lists should still be the same. Xenocides and FrenzyTheKillbot have been dwarfed with some of our last actual citizens. I've gotta say, I apologize if this is going a tad slow, but I'm having to stop and resolve issues every two seconds it seems. We'll see how long it takes for a dragon to fly by and melt everything.
