Dwarf Fortress Succession Game III:Jawmetal

I'm pretty sure the mace would give them relaxing naps quicker than bloody death.

The wielder would die of exertion, hunger, and thirst before doing appreciable damage.

I suppose if we didn't already have a hammerer with an adamantine bludgeoning implement we could give it to them.

Consider it a backup weapon. If the current hammerer dies, bury the hammer in the grave and use the mace as a replacement for the new hammerer.

You could give it to the king and have it be his Royal Mace. Those are ceremonial anyway so it would be perfect for that.

We don't have a king, we have pain and humiliation!

Having all three is not out of the question, especially if the king is bad at his job.

Interesting. I was in the middle of cleansing the reek of Hell from a dwarf when a very angry dwarf (ghost? demon? I'm not sure, I was drinking.) that looks something like me floated through a nearby wall... He was ranting something to the effect that I've "lost my way" and "aren't heeding the call of my ancestors" or something. I think he might have been the family fool; anyone could plainly see that the whole reason I took up the mantle of High Judicator of this Order was to follow the instructions of my ancestors... And they plainly say "crucify everyone who disagrees with your methods, and set them on fire while you're at it". Hopefully, whoever's supposed to be making a slab for this fool puts him to rest properly. I can barely sleep due to his screeching about supposed "innocents". And that makes me irritable. When I'm irritable, entire areas of this Fortress become unpopulated.

Not much to report this go-round. We're in the middle of a bunny explosion, surprisingly enough, but I'm still butchering all the cats before I even GET to them. Or, more correctly, all the male adult cats. Gotta keep production up.

My grand experiment in farming (ie, can we do it without stuff rotting on the vine) has failed. The dwarves seem much more obsessed with dumping the stuff instead of barreling it.

My oldest daughter, Ezum Nebkogan has all grow'd up! Kind of surprised she made it to twelve years old, with everything. I put her to work as Junior Boozesmith.

Everything seems to be running fine in the Fort. I've ordered some steel breastplates made to replace the iron ones currently in service, and some nest boxes for all the birds running around, but beyond that we're doing alright as a Fort.

So Condo's got the Fortress mostly straightened up. I wonder if the next overseer's going to wreck it.

More like when, mate.

Depends on who it is. If it were Galvin, we'd get a second maintainer of the Fortress.

I sure wish somebody would grab the rotting dimple cups. :(

We have a lot...a LOT...of iron, so I'm making some Nest Boxes out of it. I like eggs almost as much as I like ruining dimple cups. And cat meat. Sweet, sweet rotten cat meat.

Cisel made it to swordmaster, and even though has a husband, has no surviving children. If that changes, I'll rotate her out.

One funny thing, SOMEBODY carved the roof off of our butcher's shop, and now the fumes are pissing off the Engravy Kids. They deserve it, what with their being unable to do basic things well.

Hermunster II has made it to real-dwarf instead of kid-dwarf! Congratulations and alcohol all around. I'm sure Pyroi is so happy for him. Fun fact: his brothers are Bladebound II, and Madness Incarnate. Huh.

Also, there should be a law against going hunting without enough ammunition. Cilob Scarrings, you did NOT get a gold star today.

An elven caravan just arrived! I'm gonna shill some crap off on them. So. Much. Crap.

why the hell did someone carve the roof off of a shop?

Well, it IS a butcher shop, and we've had enough of a labor shortage in the Fortress that plants are rotting in the fields. If it wasn't an accident, it was probably a precaution against miasma.

Isn't it obvious? The roof had to be carved off so the magma can get in and purify it. The door might have protected some heathen who didn't go to the primary LAVA room.

Are you admitting guilt for this heinous crime, oh foul demon?

Off to the dungeons for one thousand strikes from the Adamantine hammer!

So where we at? Who has the fort? I have been sitting quietly off to the side letting you guys run the circus as you seem capable enough that you don't need me to prod anyone.

We're not running the circus, we're trying our damndest to keep it out.

Things are proceeding apace, by which I mean they're barely proceeding at all. Jreaper just got taken by a mood, so we'll see what happens from there.

The elves, as usual, had nothing of value. I transferred goods heavily in their favor just so that I could get a few more old things out of the Fort.

Jreaper has created Avanked Rafumistrath, Lyricfed the Coincidental Jewel, a microline ring! This is a microline ring. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with cushion microline cabochons and round prase cabochons, decorated with giant crow leather and encircled with bands of highwood and wild boar leather. This object is adorned with hanging rings of cat bone. On the item is an image of Warblamed the raw adamantine ring in clear glass.

So, perhaps J Reaper wants to say something about testosterone poisoning? I couldn't hear it anyway, what with the totally metal stone ring.

Out of curiosity, what is the current ratio of legendaries with images of Warblamed (including Warblamed itself) to those without?

RINGSEA!!!!

ARE YOU READY!!!

TO PARTY LIKE IT'S 199?!?!?!

what year is it in the fort anyway? or did we start with short history and get to 199?

Nope. I gots AP testing like it's 2014! That's the same thing, right? :I

... Not really no. Point being: Skip me this time D:

Do what you have to do, I understand completely! :) I was in the same boat m'self. (Honestly, I *AM* in the same boat m'self, I'm just ignoring putting the polish on a paper and who needs to MEMORIZE identities anyway?)

If I may ask, what classes are you testing?
