* BackFromTheDead: On his second turn, [=OrangeSoda=] plays as the decapitated corpse of his previous dwarf who has returned to salvage Headshoots.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: One of the players, Lucidphoole, got bored by the lack of action in their turn and started talking about picking a fight with either the demons or the humans. The fortress was promptly attacked by a dragon and then some miners broke through into a demon pit, after which a human army turned up to lay siege to the place. Things spiraled from there, with dwarves going mad left and right and killing each other and themselves. The next player was forced to wall the few sane dwarves off in an undamaged section of the fortress to stop the whole place from collapsing.

--> ''War... war never changes.
-->The Hame of Severity waged war to gather slaves and wealth. The Blowing Cactus built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Sazir Searchdikes shaped a battered Sword of Owning into an economic superpower.
-->But war never changes.
-->In the first century war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired, only this time the spoils of war were also its weapons: adamantine and magma. For these resources the Doom of Flags would invade the Boat of Society, the Sword of Owning would annex the Mute Continent, and the Blanketed Nations would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states bent on controlling the last remaining resources in the Realms of Enchanting. In 27 the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the world was reduced to cinders, and from the ashes of geothermal devastation a new civilization would struggle to arise.
-->A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large dwarven mountain halls. My family was part of that group that entered Palmlanterns. Imprisoned safely behind a large drawbridge under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world.
-->Life in Palmlanterns is about to change...''
