Beardrenched Episode 6: The Year of Fire
Save file: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17726
The following are Oreb's notes from Winter 206:
Notable deaths:
- Porkroll: killed by a giant cave spider
- booty: killed by a giant cave spider
- gay king prince charles: killed by a giant cave spider
- Moonworm: died of unknown circumstances
Notable attacks:
- Stimber: a flamingo from hell with a trunk and fire. Somehow you escaped the caverns after killing Usu. You took over 40 lives and the best of our drink.
- Cuthabe: A poison water blob. One mace strike is all it took to bring them down.
- Goblin ambush: 13 thieves, stole artifacts, but we took care of most of them.
- Stuml: a lizard from hell with wings. Flew right over our walls in the lowest cavern, but our troops were ready (I was on my way) and took down the beast.
- Ngutoz: A giantess. Very quick, but we were quicker.
So many friends gone. I'm not sure how I've made it this far. Sure, I was ordered to go and fight every single one of those forgotten beasts, but I've found the trick to surviving is to just show up late.
Other notable events:
- We have been raised now a county.
- Two hillocks have been incorporated into our holdings.
- The rumors from traders are like nothing we've ever heard. Armies marching all around us.
- New defenses were set in place, but we are far from finished.
This year was our roughest yet. I hope we can get our act together.
First off, I'm really sorry everyone. With all the forgotten beasts these deaths wouldn't be surprising, but that a giant cave spider did so much damage... Again, I'm sorry. I also cannot explain how Oreb is still alive.
I started the year with the goal of upping everyone's mood, so lots of smoothing and statues and small meeting areas around high traffic points. This wasn't particularly successful.
Here are my recommendations for the next year:
- DEFENSE
- Figure out where our weak points are. I gave this my best shot, but you can see how that turned out.
- Fix the trade entrance. Again, you'll see how I've somehow completely botched it.
- Somehow improve mood. The way things are going, I feel like a tantrum spiral is right around the corner.
- Coffins and engraved slabs when you find time. Ghosts are there and more are coming.
- Most of all, good luck!

Spent most of my time this year playing Dwarf Fortress, a Persona 5 replay and Caves of Qud. Just picked up Conquest of Elysium 5 and it is working my brain. Really like the replayability of COE5 with each faction being so unique.
What a year! Seeing the two different outcomes from the Werelemur attack really drive home what makes DF great. Moving deeper was a great idea and I really like the look of a fortress setup in the caverns. The thought and effort you put into the training schedules has made Oreb's job so much easier. Seeing some new barracks dug out also has Oreb rubbing their hands together, ready to expand our military further.
Really looking forward to this week after that mid-week update!
Dwarf fortress was patched to 53.08 earlier this afternoon and the deconstruction issue should be fixed. Also hell yeah fortress fridays!
Suit me up and watch me die. Super excited!
This is great! I’ve been wanting to play a succession game for a while. I’d gladly take the role of farmer and can take over the succession anytime after the 26th.
Edit: just saw someone already claimed the farmer, but I’m open to anything really.
NRW comrades rise up!
Wait till they get to God Emperor
