Dwarf Fortress Troper Succession Game (New Edition)

Heh, Strongest!

A few things:

• Let's get planning the new fort. Where? What kind of environment? Who gets dorfed?

• Do I pass the save right after it ends or when the new fort embarks?

• Tuefel is alive but slightly berserk. Dorku is quite content.

• Glooms aren't helping. NONE have reached the fortress, two left the map right after arrival.

• My plans are very successful at this time. Once things got started the game became very interesting.

• Andygal, I have no idea how it happened or that it was even possible. You were hit so hard that you were wedged inside a fortification . Holy shit! And a nobody dwarf passed completely through!

I thought we were going to switch full-time to the Beigeknife world, on account of it having goblins.

Tuefel going nuts and/or dying seems to be a grand tradition around here.

I thought we were preserving the world once Waterburned was kaput.

Another set of updates:

• Tuefel turned out to be a hideous flesh-golem in the guise of Tuefel, which then starved to death. Who knew?
• Nearly all the named dwarves are dead; down to Adannor, Dorku, Edwards, Blueeyedrate, and myself.
• Speaking of which, Edwards is now the doctor. He's constantly evaded harm so let him inflict it.

Not even being a mild-mannered housewife will protect you from the wrath of Rotpar. What has this fort come to?

Rotpar: That was my thought as well. Kill off the fort and start a new seperate fort that is seperate story wise from Waterburned and Beigeknife.

>down to Adannor, Dorku, Edwards, Blueeyedrate, and myself.

AAAAAHAHAHAHAH

If you're in need of another successor, I nominate myself. I've had experience in dealing with dwarves before, though not with the new ones with minecarts and clouds of death. Is there an available space?

You should head for the Beigeknife thread...Rotpar's turn will be the last for this fortress and no idea how long it will take because, lag.

Good news is: much less lag at the moment.

Bad news: fort is getting stubborn. Tantrum you bastards! Art thou not dwarves?

All right then, but I'll still read both of them. That should take at least as long.

Apparently, Waterburned itself refuses to self destruct, in spite of the fact that fortresses spiral themselves into an apocalypse by default.

Maybe you shouldn't have euthanised all the cats. :P

...heh, that would be a !!fun!! fortress. The Dorfs of Ulthar.

Evidently, the Tuefel who died in Beigeknife was actually a simulacrum I constructed using my mad carpentry skills.

Then I made it come to life, using my mad madness skills.

And every night, in his wooden bed, he cries wooden tears. Because the one thing...the only thing I couldn't make out of wood...was love.

This post got weird fast.

THE GOSPEL OF THE BOY DUMED NIMARBOMREK

Sandstone: 8 The Child Iden Nakascatten wept many tears and passed unto adulthood and was thenforth a peasant.

Sandstone: 10 It came to the Boy Medtob Igathstinthad to celebrate and make great joy and she invited all to join her. In a joyous cheer the mayor banned flasks from the hands of heretics.

Sandstone 23 Pilgrims came forth to holy Waterburned and they did rejoice and went about their appointed tasks.

Timber: 14 And from the north came a caravan of dwarves, beloved but not as a-blessed as those of holy Waterburned.

Moonstone: 20 It came to pass that Fikod Zanegokil had arisen from the dead and haunted holy Waterburned but the Chosen One sayeth "Fear not the un-mourned dead for they are accursed in the eyes of Armok and are impotent against thy faith. No dwarf that hath faith in Armok shall die but yet will live on for-ever, bury not thy dead nor remember them in stone for they were wicked and their punishment shall be great and eternal, and they will suffer to pass harmlessly within these halls and watch the glory they could have had".

Moonstone: 23 But the children were afraid of the ghostly planter and in wroth did Armok send his Cloud from the south and east and it crossed the hills with great haste and did find and take the blood of eight dwarves who fell dead upon the ground to lay eternal or be cast unto a charnel pit.

Moonstone: 28 And came the voice of Besserwisser, who spake of his great love for his shield.

Opal 1: And Armok sent his terrible Cloud north a-past holy Waterburned to test the faith of the dwarves and found them pleasing.

Opal: 5 A great fear came over Waterburned when it was found that the Child Iton Betanadil was missing. And the dwarves wept many tears and did search all barrels and cabinets and coffers and all corners for the Child.

Opal: 13 With heavy heart and sadness at the lost Child did the Mayor end his ban on trade and demanded a great throne to be made in honor of Iton.

Obsidian 10: And came the voice of Rovod Amthikut, who spake of his great love for his silk hood.

Obsidian 13: It came to the Girl Zasit Kasbenoltar to celebrate and make great joy and she invited all to join her.

Obsidian 16: And under the earth came a cry of despair. The holy trench had been impeded by a stone that gave water to the touch and the barrier would have to be re-routed to finish the great holy work. And Rotpar IV, Armok's Prophet, sayeth unto the dwarves "Know the purpose of our great Temple of Armok, for it shall be high above the earth within dwelleth the forgotten beast and the daemons. This great Temple shall be seen by all for miles around and they will marvel that the children of Armok could work such miracles. This Temple shall have great pillar from which the brave paladins of Waterburned may safely do battle against our foes and cleanse this land of wickedness and sin".

And it became known that Udib Vathezoltar despaired and did blaspheme against the works of Armok and His Prophet, in the memory of his wicked wife and son who rotted above as such was the wage of their sins.

Obsidian: 20 A great cheer for the birth of the blessed Daughter of Mistem Onoltimnar, all the Children of the dwarves are blessed in the eyes of Armok.

Obsidian: 21 Cerol Imushanan was struck by a vision of a great Wonder and spake the many praises of Armok and in his fervor claimed a craftdwarf shop and sought many goods.

Obsidian: 22 It came to the Boy Likot Kosothudar to celebrate and make great joy and he invited all to join him.

Obsidian: 23 A great cheer for the birth of the blessed Son of Dastot Konoslecad, all the Children of the dwarves are blessed in the eyes of Armok.

Looks like rotpar is picking up steam. I hope that the last words out of the mouth of the last dwarf alive in waterburned are "God Damn it ROTPAR!"

For extra pomp and maniacal ceremony, please set up a lever to pull, instead of merely channeling everything out. It's difficult to scream bloody defiance while swinging a pick, but easy to command underlings to pull a lever in your most pretentious accent.

POOL Ze LEVAR ROTPAR! MUWHAHAHAHAHA!

Like that?

THE GOSPEL OF THE GIRL KOL OLINRAZES

Obsidian: 27 The furnace operator Monom Rigothser had sinned found struck dead and he unmissed and unloved. And hence from the craftdwarf shop came a great Song and many praises as the great Wonder was being birthed.

Granite: 2 It came to pass that a filthy kobold had attempted to sack Waterburned and lay unclean hands upon its riches. Thence came the Big Damn Hero, ultimatepheer who struck out with his spear and smote the thief in his brain and the filth did fall dead to the ground.

Granite: 4 Nine days hence and the great Ring Lessenbody was made◊. So fine and full of splendor that Armok Himself did gaze down and a-took it with Him for-ever more. It it said that it was made of raw adamantine and menaced with spikes of adamantine and toad bone, and that it more an image of the crowning of King Rigoth Pagedbastions in shark leather beside an image of Jailtarnished the scepter in silk.

Granite: 11 The blasphemer Udib became wroth and did walk far under the earth and struck the miner Lorbam Abasmtun in her leg. And she did cry out and seek the captain for vengeance while he cackled with mad glee at her pain.

Granite: 27 It came to pass that Reg Libashzeg had arisen from the dead and haunted his wife, the miner Lorbam Abasmtu.

Slate: 3 And thus was lost a crutch taken by the unholy hands of the ghostly metalsmith Rith Godenastel. And the dwarves were afraid for none remembered a metalsmith nor his death that caused him to haunt holy Waterburned.

Slate: 9 Pilgrims came forth to holy Waterburned and they did rejoice and went about their appointed tasks. And the children of Armok did a-number 180. It came to the Big Damn Hero ultimatepheer to celebrate and make great joy and he invited all to join him.

Slate: 12 It came to pass that the Child Datan Olinilir had arisen from the dead and haunted holy Waterburned.

Slate: 16 A great cheer for the birth of the blessed Son of Ezum Monangbesmar, all the Children of the dwarves are blessed in the eyes of Armok.

Felsite: 1 A great cheer came among the dwarves for the great Pillar of Armok had completed construction. The Chosen One spake and said "Rejoice in thy labors and know that this holy site will cleanse the world of evil and that to gain this power shalt be performed a great ritual of empowerment and preparation upon this holy site". And the Chosen One did descend unto the earth and made many plans.

Felsite: 17 It came to pass that a filthy kobold had attempted to sack Waterburned and lay unclean hands upon its riches. The paladins of Waterburned gave a great shout and took up arms and did chase the filth from Waterburned. And so did come forth the forest children with many goods, of cloth, of wood, of beasts. The Chosen One spake through the broker and did declare all crafts of elves were now of holy Waterburned. He smote their carts and cast their goods upon the floor and they left with angry gestures.

Felsite: 9 And Armok sent his terrible Cloud north a-past holy Waterburned to test the faith of the dwarves and found them most pleasing.

Felsite: 19 And the Prophet Rotpar IV did announce unto the children of Armok a great trouble. He spake and sayeth "Armok hath spent me a great and terrible vision of doom. A great Enemy doth approach holy Waterburned as the wage of our sins and thus must be fought with blood and horror. But fear not, for the rites have been completed and the great Pillar of Armok shalt cleanse our sins and smite down the great evil". And the dwarves did cheer and their faith was strong and all dwarves of good adult standing and strength did arm themselves for battle to protect their holy fortress.

Felsite: 23 Pilgrims came forth to holy Waterburned and they did steel themselves for battle and a-joined the growing legions of Waterburned to defend their new home.

Felsite: 24 A blessed day had come forth unpon holy Waterburned as the Chosen One did view his army as they ascended the Pillar. The dwarves were filled with courage and a great love of their home and strong faith in Armok. And he did bless each and anoint their heads with wine as they marched to their position. And the climbed the great Pillar and marveled at the wonders they had wrought. The diorite walls and great mudstone fortifications that encircled the pillar and they did reach the top and stood in formation◊. They stood upon the fine slate floor and gazed out across the hills and they saw no great Enemy approaching but still they held their positions as their love for Waterburned was greater than any other. And the holy one spake to unto Zan Rithgeshud who understood his holy words and did a-pull the blessed lever.

And the great slate floor did slide away and the dwarves did plummet into the depths of the Pillar. Shorast Igathlolor was blessed and split his holy blood upon the floor in Armok's name, his brains dashed upon the floor and in his death his sins were cleansed. Among the first blessed were ultimatepheer and Besserwiser and wikkit and the mayor and they did brast their limbs upon the stones and their screams of anguish did Armok hear and He was a-pleased◊. And the Prophet spake unto the Children of the children of Armok and he sayeth-

"Blessed are the Children of dwarves and accursed are those adults who brought sin and suffering upon us all, any by their blood shalt we the Children be forgiven and live with Glory for-ever with Armok".

There was a great cheer amongst the Children and the Prophet did call for the second wave of sacrifice, and the adults did hear his holy words and were afraid and still didst they obey though they wanted not.

...Is that a murder tower i see?

Oh boy this won't end well. Anyone want popcorn?

Azreal - ?

Indeed, Pass the Popcorn and roll out the barrel.

That's what I had in mind, yes.

Yeah, 'tis a murder tower. This was my main plan all along given that the Colony Drop would have taken FOREVER to excavate. They still haven't finished building a walkway around the trenchline, least of all working on the trenches. And I keep finding damp stone along the northeastern regions.

But I tried. I had both in progress until one finished, wasn't surprised it was the tower.

The part about "Armok stole the artifact ring"? It's gone. I don't know where or how but it's not on the artifact list. Either a thief got damn lucky, and we've only had a few that pheer likes to murder, or...

I accidentally sold it to the dwarves.

It was late, we had no real broker, I tossed a bunch of goods in bins at them for a bunch of metal bars and other knickknacks.

Some other things:

• Population is presently 80 with 65 kids.
• ACRONUM is getting some kills as we speak.
• The temple isn't going anywhere, the kids are younger and lazier then I thought.
• Textile industry has failed us it seems. Tons of dwarves getting pissed about rotting clothes. Not that I'll fix it but I'm surprised if we didn't have that working and in surplus like everything else. Maybe they're just too damn lazy/stupid to get new pants when the pair being worn is rags.
• Been doing my thing: engraving. Wealth has gone up quite a bit, too much "the founding of Waterburned" and not enough "Urist Mc Faller fell and splattered" for my tastes. Dammit, I want freaking Boatmurdered-style dining rooms decorated with werewolves and dwarves being stomped by laughing elephants!
