Damn, I'm so tough I can hit spiders in the foot.

Their priorities are drinking. I see nothing wrong in that. And it gets me extra kills.

Sadly I only realized this when Rabid let a giant zombie cave spider out.
I'm surprised that undead spiders can spit out webs even though randomly generated titans and forgotten beasts that are supposed to have the web ability can not.

Being zombified doesn't change the base creature. Zombie dragons can breathe fire because non-zombie dragons can.

If I'm remembering correctly, the issue with the randomly generated creatures is that they either lack the [WEBBER] token, or lack a materials definition for a web-type item. It's a relatively minor bug, but it's also relatively benign, so there's been no real push for it to get fixed yet.

Yay, I've been dwarfed!

"Sixcess Arkimcerol", a name that will be sure to find fame and renown in the saga of Reveredtour.

*waits to get insta-killed by a passing kobold/goblin/forgotten beast...*

I'm not upset about you taking some time off from the LP, Kraken, but I am a bit annoyed that you get the week off while I have 3 essays due over the next few days. Plus a midterm. FML.

Also, you're younger than me. Only by about a year it seems, but still.

Just on the note of the cave spider, how does one move animals without the death? I once tried to move one of your Abyss Keepers into a trap room, and it got out and killed my only squad. Bastard. I then learned that 3 dwarfs does not a military make.

And on another note, which venom is more lethal, giant cave spider or giant desert scorpion?

I only made this account so I could reply to this thread :3

I reckon I would've been owned by now what with all of the goblin seiges.
oh yeah, and could you dwarf me up please?

I also love the way that 100 years down the line, your dwarves will all have cancer and be giving birth to mutants due to what you've made the fort out of.

actualy the level of radiation wouldnt be high enough to do that. maybe a few percent more cancers but no mutant births and anyway. i dont think any dwarves are going to last 100 years in this fort (maybe Stinthad or Goden)

but the radiation might explain the beasts.

after 1050 years of low-level radiation, something must've had it's DNA screwed up.
for all we know, he's killing an old dwarf, mother of 3. or a teacher.

either that, or some pets somehow got to the circus and met the clowns. then THEY screwed up the thing's DNA.
who knows? this is dwarf fortress! logic and dwarf fortress don't go together well.

Oh shit, i haven't watched this in a while. Oh and i arrived as a migrant too? Sweet, mind telling me how i am and what kind of work i do? It's probably going to be a hauler or something, i always end up in boring positions i hate. But what the heck, maybe i will have a glorious death or something. Possibly involving punching all those vultures to death.


Actually you're a soldier of the Immortal Rags, albeit not a very good one. Your complete lack of skills and terrible physical traits don't lend themselves well to the life of a combatant. I'm honestly not sure how you got enlisted in the first place. Probably back when I desperately needed new recruits regardless of skill. Well at least you haven't died yet, giving you a better track record than most soldiers.

Zenkem said:
How am I doing? Am I alive and do I have kills yet?


Only a handful of kills, but remember that most enemies we fight are undead which usually don't get counted due to a glitch. An average soldier with moderate skills.

Jesus, regular spiders are bad enough, but cave spiders seem bit nasty. Maybe Root should get the military to sort their priorities out.

Also, Sarveshbomrek, eh? I can live with that. Mind if I get some info on myself?


You admired a bridge. As a mason, you will be doing that most of the time.

Smiles said:
Yes! I am finally a dwarf! and I am a girl too, awesomeness. I can't wait to find out what jobs she does.


No comment about this one really.


ColeusRattus said:
yay, finally dwarfed! Any chance to see my character sheet?


Only skilled as a miller, which in this fort means you will be a hauler.

max w. antilles said:
Awesome!
I'm here!
I'm curios about my stats and job in this fortress, too


You are another migrant with no decent skills. Honestly this wave wasn't very talented. Despite this you were not made into a hauler or mason, and I'll discuss your role along with the other migrants in the next update. Here's the short version; suicide squad.

How's lil' SamuelT doing?
You're not dead. As a useless child that's the best you can hope for really.

Chaza said:
Yay I'm finally a dwarf. Can I see my stats?
Just hope I'm not destined to be a hauler.


Not a hauler, but you might not necessarily consider this fate to be better.

Irridium said:
Sweet, looks like I arrived.

Could I get some stats/description of my character?


Remember how I wished I had a skilled archer? That's what your dwarf is. You're not slightly trained in it, but rather an expert with some other combat skills to boot. Definitely the most useful migrant of the bunch, and your skills in archery obviously resulted in you replacing Vallorn as the archery commander. Sorry Val, but now you're an unskilled subordinate rather than an unskilled leader.

Anyways, I'm going to start updating the thread again. If anyone else wants me an update on their dwarves status you should tell me now.

I'm... useful?



I'm having a wonderful time!

Also, its scary at how much the description matches me. Well, the personality part at least.

Was the Immortal Rags the useful squad or the useless one? I can't remember. Or did one of them get wiped out along the way? Seems like i have gotten old at a really young age.

Alright, so I just gout out of school for a week of vacation. I feel the need to point out that my work ethic on vacation is nonexistent. You'd think that having more free time would get me to work better but it actually just makes me slack off. In addition to this I will also be visiting colleges next week and making a decision about which one to go to. So there probably won't be any updates coming soon.

I have no excuse for this other than being lazy though, so feel free to berate me.
Are... are we twins?

The good one. The terrible squad was the Steamy Tours, but they were all wiped out by a beak dog a while back.
