Razorcrypts--a DF AAR

[MadImmortalMan]

Nah, valmy's doing great. I just can't train the archers as fast, that's all. The only one who has reached legendary is the one we started with--MIM. And only barely. It's just time spent.

stonesense is easy to use/install.

install appropriate version of Dfhack (iirc) and type stonesense at the prompt.

[garbon]

Stonesense does look easy enough. I couldn't run the game with it though as my comp is too old.

What's Solmyr doing?

What's Solmyr doing?

Building a tower atm.

[Razgovory]

That should pay handsomely.

Smiths working. Zoupa and Grey Fox not in the frame, but their forges are respectively, Zoupa's on the north wall, Grey fox on the right wall north, Jaron right wall south. Malthus and grumbler share the jeweler's workshop and several dwarves share the various smelters. Jaron's dwarf now officially wears the outfit of an armorsmith, since he's reached "talented" in that skill and that's better than his highest fishing skill ever was when he arrived.

It's about time Jaron got a real job.

Well, we have a problem. There is another vampire, and I'm not sure who it is. Almost certainly one of a pile of crappy dwarves with no name. But here's the thing. He's killed Neil. And Pedrito's pissed because he's Neil's son and freaking out a bit. I need to find this fool asap. Why oh why do the vampires not content themselves with babies and peasants? Why take really high-profile dwarves that the fort badly needs? I wonder if there is a vampire probability variable I can mod.


Edit: We are immediately beginning work on a suitable tomb for Neil. I'm sure Ed will cover it in pictures of war dogs tearing the throats out of goblins and vampires assaulting Neil in his sleep.

[garbon]

I guess dwarf Neil is not a god...

2nd Malachite 116


There is a vampire on the loose in the fort. Pedrito found Neil dead in his chambers, drained of all his blood. I fear a witchhunt may be necessary, no matter how distasteful. As our hammerer,

CdM is asking around and making notes of dwarves he sees eating, drinking beer and sleeping. Vampires have no need of such things.

The loss of our master animal trainer is going to hurt us, especially with his apprentice in a state of depression over his death. We're doing what we can to cheer Pedrito up, and the council has apportioned funds for a suitable tomb to be built for Neil.





16th Galena 116, Late Summer






Sound the alarm! Get everybody inside. Send out the special scout.






The scout reports that it is a very large band of goblins, a couple of them riding cave crawlers. The scout didn't survive. Pity. Somewhere, Neil is smiling.




Once our scout died, the goblins seemed content to stand off at the edge of our territory and wait. Technically, I doubt we even need to open the roads to survive, as we have everything we need for survival right here. Armies throughout history have shown how fruitless it is to besiege the dwarven halls. Actually, I feel sorry for them out there sitting on the ledge of a cliff hanging off a glacier. It's covered in snow, even now in summer. Yet some dwarves want to give battle.

Before the battle began, Admiral Yi and Tonitrus had found magma deep under the fort. More specifically, they found warm stone. They are currently probing upward along the sides of it to find the top without breaking through and melting themselves. That work has stopped for now, as the alarm brings the dwarves inside the burrow.
