One that's got an outbreak of goddamn lycanthropy (which is why necromancers are assholes) 14:45 <@Dagmar> ...and one in a wilderness zone where I just finally got enough traps out to keep the fucking "giant flying squirrels" at bay because the fuckers have been sneaking inside to kill my cattle and shit 14:46 <@Dagmar> Now I gotta make some little murder shack or maybe just move the barracks down a level so I can pit the things that land in the trap into the middle of the militia 14:47 <@Dagmar> If you start getting friendly necromancer visitors, be very careful to keep them happy (and maybe away from everyone else) 14:47 <@Dagmar> One of my dwarfs got too drunk and started a fight, and the goddamn visiting noble necromancer cursed him into being a were lizard 14:47 <@Dagmar> I've had to execute eight dwarves 14:56 <@Dagmar> The damn guild hall demands are much more insistent in this release --- Log closed Sun Dec 25 00:00:04 2022
