Well, you'd have to start by dismantling a bunch of lego dudes and spreading their bits around as if they're still mobile and causing trouble. A swarm of little yellow C-hands crawling in through the front gate.

Water and lava bricks, each 1/7 of a block high. Beards. Elephants. Cave spider silk left and right socks. A Mr.-Potato-Head-like base and a bucket of assorted monster bits for building forgotten beasts?

Random forgotten beast in every set. Or, you get real lucky, and in the bottom of the bin there's an actual honest-to-goodness portal to hell. Also, you think it hurts when you try to get two flat plastic pieces apart that are stuck together? Try it if they're adamantine.

Dwarf fortress lego set would be the best lego set. I don't have any of mine any more but I would go out and make a giant train set size replecation of a fort extending down with a siege going on at the top level.

 They're getting a little impatient, but it's written in their union contracts as a sort of two-way street: they get breaks at least every two hours, but we may need for them to come in and wait for unknown stretches of time. They still get paid for it.

Most of my legos are real legos but somewhere I have a bin with four or five megabloks sets and it includes dragons, dwarves, ogres, and orcs. The sets were inexpensive and fun as gently caress to build. God, I've gotta find those now. e. goddamn, I remember one set has a pair of stone-throwing catapults...

Man, Lego already had their own Dwarves theme. That's actually where that fig is from (not clear what was being said before). Which would make it hard to get Dwarf Fortress approved through Cuusoo because they've already kind of done that.

Wait, that's not a mega blok fig? Huh. Maybe I have real lego dwarfs somewhere then. I'm sure I've got that dude somewhere.

Lego Lord of the Rings is a thing that they're doing right now, so there's at least a Gimli. And plenty of orcs (ed: who could pass as goblins), and a Giant Cave Spider...

http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=7036-1 It's from their Castle line from a few years ago, it wasn't it's own theme as I thought before. Still, dwarves and orcs in Lego. Now that LotR is Lego's new licensed theme none of that really matters anymore.

Welp, I got the update... next one's not going to be till Wednesday evening/night, as a) Thassa lottta migrants, and b) I have stuff going on tuesday. Lots of stuff. From the Overseer Diary of JimmyTheD, Bronzestabbed, 273 21st Slate, 273  A fiendish Murk has arrived outside the fortress while we rest. While it does not currently threaten us, it is nonetheless extremely large. Our fortress artisans have enclosed a picture of the Murk the day before, when it first arrived...  ...And today, where it is currently causing no small amount of concern. But things couldn't possibly get worse than this. Could they? 22nd Slate, 273 I was woken this morning by Internet Kraken, who merely led me, bleary eyed, to the fortress doors, and pointed outwards. There were now two clouds of murk, and one was drifting dangerously close to where we have chosen to make our home. The smaller cloud eventually dissipated, but the second drifted the entire length of the river before leaving the lands we call home. To say that this was a disturbing development to me was an understatement along the lines of “Vampires are bad”. 23rd-25th Slate, 273 The new migrants have no idea what a lucky escape they had. The Murk had thankfully left our lands for the time being, and the new migrants appeared the day atferward. There are many, but I shall do my best to summarize them all here.  And then it happened. A Werehyena. The military was called for, an alert was sounded, although I do not hold out too much hope.  It looks pretty scary, after all...  We are lucky at first, as the creature decides to concentrate on somebody's pet lamb. A waste of mutton, but much better than the death of a dwarf.  Unfortunately for everybody, it doesn't keep the Werehyena occupied for long. The migrants have the good sense to run around while it is occupied, but somebody's pet is most decidedly dead, and this bodes ill for The Stormy Lancers, who have been sent to deal with it. Internet Kraken is still busy, but we shall see how the day fares.  Apologies, images cut out on normal window, I'll try to fix when I can John Charity Spring, child of Nomikos, was today murdered because of our own codes. Since dwarven parents carry their babes even unto battle, John Charity Spring quickly became the second victim of the Werehyena Len Visioncuddle. Nomikos joins battle, and we can only hope her spear silences this evil beast. LATER A detailed report of the combat has arrived upon my desk. Several notable events occurred. Nomikos reached the scene quicker than the others, John Charity Springs in tow. The Werehyena, spotting this easy meat, immediately reached out to murder the poor dwarven child.  Nomikos, obviously enraged, repeatedly attacked the Werehyena, scoring several major hits, but Len Visioncuddle was too bloodthirsty to do aught but continue to assail the poor babe.  The child, a dwarf to the last, continues to resist, and Nomikos rains blows upon the beast, but it still does not relent.  What happens next is gruesome, but sadly must be recorded as a warning for future generations. Nomikos continues to attack the beast in the meantime, causing several injuries.  Eventually... Mercifully... John Charity Springs dies of his wounds, and Nomikos causes several further injuries to the beast, sustaining none herself.  The beast attempts to heal its injuries by transforming into a human (presumably what it was before it was cursed), but Nomikos presses the attack.  Eventually, Nomikos lodges her spear in the creature's skull, and leaves it for dead on the field. The migrants continue to pour in, but we appear to have no further problems. As if this wasn't enough... The battle took a full 2 days to complete, and Nomikos is praised as a hero, although I have no doubt she does not feel such glory. Internet Kraken is, however, reviled by myself and Nomikos, for he was... stacking barrels the whole time. I shall discuss the migrants when I am better disposed. This report has made me somewhat ill. JamieTheD fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Jul 9, 2012 |
