Oh great. My parentdwarves are here. How am I supposed to be a Big drat Hero now with momdwarf and daddwarf looking over my shoulder all the time? gently caress you dad, I'll drink the murk-tainted pond water if I want! (Because it would be hilarious if my dwarf, already a spergy goon dwarf hero, decided to tantrum now that his parents have migrated.)

Rawkking posted:A lot of you asked for military positions that you probably will be getting (goodness knows we need the bodies). So don't fret if you currently lack military skills. I checked stats to make sure you were suitable for your requested job, but I didn't have time to assign anybody but Enzer to a squad due to having to take screenshots and crop photos for 29 dwarves If it is the Enzer of legend that comes, the fortress in in safe hands. Enzer faces two greenskins, one of whom sits atop a still-living mount - although this mount is the great toad-beast that lies paralysed in the mud, one of Sejs Cube's arrows lodged brutally in its spine. Enzer's axe-strokes are masterful and artistic, moving from parry to slash in perfect, fluid motion. More blood sprays from goblin arteries each second she remains in combat. Two are slain in the blink of an eye, and the third barely has time to call for reinforcements before Enzer's axe drops directly down onto his head, penetrating his helm and cleaving his skull in two. - Enzer was taken aback by the troll's show of strength. She blocked its flailing strikes and stood up but was pushed back again by a second charge. On the third, she stepped out of the beast's way and slashed at its back, causing blood to spray. The troll attempted to strike back, but Enzer was already out of the way and smashed it in the chest with her axe-pommel. The troll gurgled for breath even as it charged Enzer and knocked her again to the floor, but this brought her low enough to take off the beast's leg with an axe-sweep. The troll howled with rage and stumbled backward to the floor as she stood and moved in to end its life. She took off its right arm with her second hack, and impaled it through the heart with her third. On her fourth, the troll's very body was cleaved in two and the forges were made safe again. And then she died, of course, but then again, who lives.

The meeting can give either a good (...and felt better afterward) or a bad thought (...but only got angrier). The complainer's "liberalism" stat (respect for tradition/authority) may come into play here.

 20th Slate 239 There have been whisperings in the halls that Leperfish is starting to get a little crazy in the head. Dwarves are looking fearfully at him and even his friends step quickly away. The first time it was said that he tried to beat the ashes of the fallen into the ground, and now after the new sacrifices entered into the fortress. Maybe he is finally realizing the truth that Sankis has sent us all here to purposely die as a blood sacrifice to the gods and he is crying out to Ugath. Yes! That is it. He is not going crazy, but is yelling out to Ugath in repentance. He must be accepting his fate, but we do not have to follow the will of Sankis. Maybe Ugath is talking to him and that is why he cries out. Such a great honor to him if this is the case. I must share this with the other followers of Ugath so that we can all sing our praises of Ugath. Still the overseer has not replied to my request for a Worship Hall. Surely he sees the importance of such a magnificent tribute to our Lord and how beneficial it will be to all dwarves. Perhaps I need to become more vocal and remind him of what happened to Zapdos who had displeased Ugath. Should the Rock King continue in this insolence and not give Ugath His sanctuary, Ugath will again make his displeasure known upon us. I will ask all true believers to continue to petition the the overseer regarding this matter as well as being vocal in their prayers and singing to Ugath. Maybe now, Leperfish will join us and share his testimony of how Ugath has touched his life. Shiv Katall fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Aug 13, 2012 |

Practically every dwarf migrant from Shottome is from that series of creepy Ugath cults  I remember someone (was it you?) writing about how the government tried to relocate them to stop the cults and with the migrant statistics now I'm just imagining it from the beleaguered government's side as they try to stop an out-of-control doom cult from seizing control of the settlement.

Yeah, every society has a bunch of rot-worshipping creeps while simultaneously living in the shadow of goblins and necromancers, and beset by vile plague fogs. If I'm ever overseer, I'll give those Ugath cultists their monastery--right on top of the murklands. See how much they like Ugath then. It used to be they were just another death cult...

Well, to be fair, I'd make the Monastery airtight, except for perhaps some dungeons and a platform on the highest tower. We really do need an Ugath Monastery. And some socially restrictive burrows--by religion and by clan. For instance, my family is obviously influential enough that we should have some kind of estate, with its own little farm that young Tilde could tend while his creepy dad explains why even the very pretty Ugath lovers need to be locked up.

Yes, a state within a state. The Followers of Ugath promise to donate 1/5 of all materials it produces including agriculture, stone, metal, and domesticated animals to the well being of the fort. we will build our own dormitories and all items that are required for daily living. Our military/police force will also contribute to the defense of the fort by serving in rotations, but retain the right to be called home should anything from the deep make its way in.

Diary of Yeol Bellsfissures, Surgeon 19th Slate 238 Bronzestabbed is in sight. Our journey is at an end, and I hope it was not in vain, I hope that I will find what I seek here in this young fortress. Food and shelter, of course, but not only that. Opportunities for wealth and advancement for highly skilled, hardworking dwarves in the medical field. The chance to be part of something important. Authorities which do not know the meaning of "malpractice". Accidents happen after all, and despite the seven years I had to spend I doesn't take a genius. 'Course that particular patient didn't make it, and him being a Count might have had something to do with everyone in the room freaking out so much when I started breaking the bones and the blood flew everywhere, but that's just medicine for you, you can't save everyone. Lots of trial and error. Then again, if they'd actually made the surgical maces I'd ordered earlier and stayed calm, things might have turned out differently. Just not everyone sees things the way I do, I guess. Before I

Very true. We were not being very subtle. So I will just come out and say it since I am sure everyone knows what we are talking about anyways. A beak dog. Or maybe a fire snake. Those are the only two possibilities that we were alluding to. I personally lean more towards the beak dog theory.

I was hoping this sort of speculation would happen and am glad that it is  and that some of it is completely off the mark really, penguingo is right, you need that bookkeeping skill Edit: I GUESS I should note that all though I didn't make the orphan speech with some other dwarves, there were a number of dwarves in the wave with no known family EXCEPT for their spouse. It's not that rare, at the age of this world's timeline there are still plenty of people "of unknown parentage" walking about. Rawkking fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Aug 12, 2012 |

The Dwarf Fortress "beak dog" is actually a velociraptor. Your everyday dwarf just calls it a beak dog because he's retarded. It prompted this cartoon: Given their capacity to call things beak dogs, it stands to reason that the sparkly, heartbroken young Dr. Pattinson may be treated the same way, causing much confusion as to what is or is not a bloodsucking monster.

Diary of Tilde, a child of Qword and a Yak The Wonder Years Da just told me the whole fort is abuzz with news that an old, friendless dwarf arrived. It was very strange, since Da normally only tells me about young, friendly dwarfs--very long stories, and much more colorful than the fairy tales my Yak tells me like the Three Giant Thrips, or Paddington Draltha, or How the Alpaca Zombies Made Sure All the Little Ugath Worshippers Were Sent to Bed Without Any Dinner. So, yeah, Da says this old fogie is definitely a vampire, and that everyone knows it. He says they're laying bets on who gets killed by him first, and that he bet on Markus because of things called "comp" and "tissue". I asked him what I should do if the scary vampire asks me to come look at his canoe, but by then he saw Olesh walking by and he just ignored me and started staring and smiling like he always does. Da is funny like that. I figure that means vampires are only dangerous to people who lose bets, so I'm not too worried.

New migrants should show up cave-adapted, vomiting all over the place. How did this guy spend 149 years in the world and still not mind sunlight? Oh, and he's a vile vampire and I think we should send him into the murk. And send anyone who disagrees with him. And especially anyone who uses spoiler tags.
