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.
As mentioned previously, the goblin fortress has a surplus of animals. One particularly boring afternoon at the kennels, the Dungeon Master and a couple of his assistants were throwing a hoary marmot around the place. By some bizarre coincidence, one of the goblins failed to catch the marmot just as a woodcutter was coming out of the fortress door. The marmot flew into the fort and fell down the central shaft.
The gang rushed in just in time to see a cloud of marmot blood and chunks rocket back up from the bottom where the marmot had exploded. Naturally, they found this incredibly funny. A couple of marmots and a trained chimp later, the Countess came up to see what they were doing. Rather than having the hammerer break their legs, the Countess told them to let her have a go.
Now animals are thrown down the hole regularly, sometimes to mark special occasions, or mourn the loss of a good friend, or sometimes just to liven up a dull 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 :)
