Severedcoils - 202 Early Spring by KenboCalrissian

Map Description:

Start of year 2. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my progress... except for the immigrant disaster last autumn, where a giant bat wiped out four out of my eight incoming immigrants.

Point of Interest: Yet Another Giant Bat Victim

This bat just won't stop... It's killing everything it can find outside. I have a huge list of dead snakemen, lizardmen, and olmmen that I never even knew were on the map. There's no way of telling whether they were killed by the same giant bat that took out four of my dwarves, but the bat has cougar blood on its hands so I know that's how this thing died.

I can't wait to check the history of this world and look up this bad boy. It has at least five confirmed kills to its name already, and I'm sure there's more. - KenboCalrissian

The dead olmmen, lizardmen, and snakemen are from when they get too close to the waterfall leading into the chasm at the end of the underground river.

Neat-o.

You should probably deconstruct that metalsmith's forge by the entrance, as well as whichever of those 8 furnaces nearby are not wood furnaces - it'd be a waste to have metalsmithing work orders using up coal (that could be better put to use making steel) when you've got magma at your disposal.

I see that you've used the fortification trick to peek beyond a bit of the Adamantine - I thought you weren't going to do that until the Philosopher arrived.

I gave up on the philosopher. Now it's a pending plot hook. Notice Zon hasn't said anything about it yet ;)

My hypothesis is that the 1rst and 2nd part of the vomit trail is just cave adaptation. the 3rd part of the vomit trail is something i have never seen before. I would guess that a gobo got stabbed in the gut, and with the new combat system he ended up throwing up while retreating until he got disoriented and fell to his death in the chasm. I believe our answer may lie at the bottom of your endless pit.

"New" combat system doesn't cut it. This is 40d. You're probably right about falling into the chasm, though the goblin bones right next to where the path turns is throwing me off.

I personally think it's just a Dwarf trail.

As for the slugman and snailman leather accessories, they were probably in the inventory of a goblin squad leader - they come from the actual goblin civilization, and for each creature they kill during worldgen, they make a trinket out of it and keep it as a trophy of sorts.

Do you only see a blank space?
