Kale Yeahhhh
Sorry @Nicktatorship
Apparently it's a lot easier to murder badgers than it is to kill a giant cardinal https://mastodon.social/media/TmBRkfmA1v8wRyEeKOk
Alrighty, we're back in action at Spearromanced
(I generally don't assign people's names to babies because... they don't do shit)
Seems like it was just two dorfs & the baby, so @theoutrider and @antstiller got their incarnations
We've got our stockpiles still outside, and there are Keas on the map, soooo
The keas stole a few small things, which sucks.
Now we have a cougar, so we've formed up
All the bolts were shot at it, it didn't go down, so now... we're chasing it
A goblin thief has shown up to try and steal our one child
@[email protected] @checkervest and @udell_games are on the case
We've got human traders in (finally able to offload all these wooden goods!), and some keas floating about annoying us
(For those not aware, our 11 dorfs went up against a single Giant Cardinal and ended up battling it for a month or so, one dying of exhaustion/dehydration as a consequence)
Migrants are slowly trickling in, so if you want a dorf named after you let me know
New incarnations for

Prob. gonna need to overhaul labor preferences, but first...
... lining up these cardinals to shoot them
I'm being very liberal with using the teleport tool to bring down flying enemies, because otherwise the dorfs climb trees which just... ugh
Teleported a cardinal down to the dorfs
Dorfs immediately climb trees
*long sigh*
Massed the dorfs downstairs instead, and teleported the cardinal (only 1 left) into the farming district
Apparently it died, but I can't find its corpse.
Hopefully it's being cutchered
Really on the fence about tracking books.
Like, it's interesting to have books your dorfs write turn up in forts, but they're a very large overhead to try and find and track, etc
So @Nicktatorship's corpse is still not interred, and @[email protected] keeps going into emotional shock walking past it.
Should prob. get onto that
It's really easy to forget your dead dorfs and the fact that *seeing* them fucks up your other dorfs
... and just as we breach the cavern by accident, @RoseArtemis decides to make us an artifact!
Rose is a new migrant, so I've got no idea what she will try to do
She's gone for a craftsdorf's shop, so that's fine.
Was worried she'd want something for clay/sand
Just some badger bones and some stone, so prob. something low value - still, our first artifact for this run of forts, which is great!
Meanwhile, troglodytes are chilling in my stone industry district, so time to squad up https://mastodon.social/media/-XyGax41N3srEzcCiDA
The dorfs roll down, and @balketh and @RoseArtemis engage immediately (though Rose shouuuuld be making that artifact, and I have nfi how that works at all?)
Yeah, the workshop is still claimed.
Did not know you could force them out of the workshop by engaging them?
This couuuuuld cause some weird shit
Not without a fight, tho, three troglodytes are downed
Found out what happened. @MachineLordZero was downstairs a few levels, trying to take on a bunch of trogs by themselves - took two of em out tho
Bear@DarkestKale @MachineLordZero A hero to all dorfs.
@balketh @MachineLordZero Died doing what he loved: being angry and smashing shit
