Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

It would, however, be very appropriate considering my last fort died the same way. But yes, syndromes are one the cheapest ways to lose a fort because sometimes they are simply beyond your control. It's why some people prefer to seal off the caverns completley.Aidinthel said:
Hurray, I'm mentioned! And I get mauled and almost die of a Syndrome! As is life in Reveredtour.
Maybe this means you'll be immune when the nastier version inevitably sweeps through the fortress. Or maybe you're just patient zero. Either way you get a place in the history books. Assuming anyone is left to write them, of course.CloggedDonkey said:
i got screentime! and i died... oh well. at least i didn't ddie grabbing socks or anything, i died in battle. the whole spear thing reminds me of all the times i've been hit in the face with random objects, that didn't really bug me. lol. though seriously, suffocation?
Swelling isn't bad as syndromes go. Heh. Duchess Stinthad. Be careful or you will actually have your Monarch show up.
Neat, I made something! Albeit something useless, but it's mine dammit!
Also nice to know I'm a mechanic.

Is it possible that he survived the syndrome because his hand was smashed open therefore causing blood loss so he didn't pop?
Probably not how it worked, but it would be awesome if it did. The reason he didn't explode was probably that the random severity was not high enough, meaning it was like he was stung by a horde of mosquitoes. Which don't have malaria. Why don't they have malaria? Toady?freetogoodhome said:

The start of the final month comes with the announcement of new life in the fort. At first I was quite happy to hear that another couple had a child to raise, but uh...
Well I'm not saying that Root and Aidinthel shouldn't raise a family, I just don't like Root carrying children into warzones. I don't know how she's going to carry two of them at the same time and fight, and I'm certainly not going to ask. She'd just get mad again.
The little girl is named after another fallen soldier. Hopefully she won't lead such a tragic life.

Finally, after months of work the masons have finished the Blood Bowl.
I like to think Rabid would be pleased with this. Not only is it fully functional, but it also has a pretty design! Sort of. I guess it doesn't really matter since it will be drenched in blood and pus at some point. I'll probably have some weapon traps installed to give us an edge in combat, but if the need arises the Blood Bowl can be used.

Of course. The last month couldn't just be nice and peaceful. Another one of these dumb forgotten beasts had to come along and ruin everything. What is this? A flying toad? That's dumb. I'm not afraid of it. Nobody is. The military is going to smash it, and then I'm going to get some peace and quiet.
Please? I'm not asking for much. I just don't want to have to add more dwarves to the obituary.

The entrance to Reveredtour from the first cavern is an area chocked in a permanent fog of miasma, the source of which is many rotting corpses and countless caged zombies. I never really considered it until now, but I think this much miasma is a serious health risk. Also, it keeps me from seeing a damn thing going on there.
However I could definitely tell that there was a fight going on from all the yelling and croaking. I could not tell who was winning, but I was confident that we had the upper hand.
And of course I was right. The only thing I was able to see clearly was Lord Shonus decapitating the flying toad. Another victory for Reveredtour! Now, I should probably do something about that miasma so visibility is not a problem in the future.

Another dwarf has been born here in Reveredtour. This is the second child of PurpleLemur and ChatoicKraus, who are overjoyed to have another child to raise.
A perfectly healthy baby girl. I must admit that I was worried that all these forgotten beats might have spread terrible diseases into Reveredtour, but if the vulnerable babies aren't getting sick then I doubt we have anything to worry about.

In order to solve the miasma problem I've had the old entrance walled off and a new one dug out. It's very close to the old one, but isn't covered in a disgusting cloud of miasma. This should make working in the first cavern a lot more pleasant.

Pretty uneventful month, but hey what can you do. Better than everyone randomly dropping dead, which I was constantly worried about after what happened to Rhiannon.
Anyways, looks like there are a ton of questions. I'll answer those later when I'm less lazy.
