Chaincurses - 1059 Mid Winter by Mori

Map Description:

Chaincurses is a goblin mining colony established on the orders of Uslot, Demon God of Fire, Death and Torture.

A group of goblins called The Scourge of Society (we can only guess at why they were kicked out of their home to build the outpost) was sent out to ransack a dwarven caravan, find out where they planned to build their fort, and then mine out that area looking for adamantine.

Unfortunately, they ate the pack animals and had to drag the wagon themselves. They did, however, manage to get some good advice out of the dwarf expedition leader on how to build a fortress.

Point of Interest: The Demonic Disaster Part 3

They needed to rescue the adamantine. They needed it for reasons they didn't quite understand, but they still needed it.

After questioning some traumatised miners, and some very bored soldiers, the Expedition Leader established the nature of the demons. They were living flames, who also look a lot like Asno Spreadmalign's dead grandmother.

Water puts out fire, right?

The decision was made to flood the chamber with water. A tunnel was dug into chamber and water from the drinking channel was poured into it. Nothing really happened. The chamber was flooding very very slowly and there were no howls of dying demons to be heard either.

Until one day, a great gout of steam shot out of the tunnel the water was pouring into. A fire spirit had flown up into the water spout and come out of the top. He was very angry. Several goblins were turned to ashes as they sat at the dining table. The soldiers came rushing and managed to pretty effectively kill the demon. A pump was constructed to divert water from the channel so that the tunnel could be sealed. It still pumps to this day. - Mori

Awesome, I loved reading all your points of interest, and following along on the SA forums as you attempted to retake your fortress from the demons.

The statues on the tileset look awesome, and kudos, the points of interest really bring the fort to life :)
