Dwarft Fortress V: The Ageless Realms, Part XI

15th Timber, 1052, Late Autumn: Assholes of Every Race

The year was mostly uneventful. The farms are now up and runnin and producing edible goods quite consistently. We're brewing a ton of alcohol and managed to slaughter some livestock to keep our meat supply going. We'll send out hunters soon enough, but for now trading seems to do the trick.

We were visited by humans, who were pleasant enough. We were then visited by elves who
happened upon us just as we started razing a nearby forest. They were dicks about it.

Still, wanting to keep relations civil, I agreed to their insane demands. The humans sell us wood for almost nothing, anyway. All those gems we found early on really paid off!

Meanwhile, a couple of dwarves were taken by moods and took over some workshops, but luckily they were able to find what they needed to build their insane things.

We now have a silver floor hatch covered in menacing spikes and a chain made of horse bone. Go figure.

The main upgrade to the arena is finished: a giant crushing wall that covers the entire field. Now, if a creature survives battle, I can pulverize it by lowering a bridge onto it. That should solve my problem from last time! My plan now is to capture Troglodytes with cage traps.

Here's how I'll do it:

The Troglodytes get lured in because of the Horse and walk into a wall of cage traps! Simple, yet efficient!

And while I was getting all this prepped, before I had a chance to open the door to the caverns below, a goblin snuck in from up above!

Damn her! Well, now she'll feel our hundred fists of pain! We've killed far worse than you!

Osta the Goblin:

Show no mercy, men!
