Woooooooo
by my reckoning @CommieCretzl@hexbear.net is up next! please reply to this comment if you're still available and interested in taking a turn
- Is it too late to opt in, I have somehow missed all of these
@booty@hexbear.net you're up next to guide our fortress if you're still available and interested. please reply either way.
@SSJMarx@lemm.ee said a bunch of stuff came up and can't continue right now
that means @Awoo@hexbear.net you're on deck if booty is busy
@Doubledee@hexbear.net thanks for noticing
- Ideally I'd like to hold off for one more turn if Awoo is ready, but I can do it otherwise

Zulban's tantrum ended and she was immediately regretful. She said Utesh's face had looked like that of a dead troglodyte, that everyone's faces looks like the dead troglodytes. She was despondent, and we were naive, maybe. We hoped that would be the end of it, that with the ossuary dug and their corpses properly interred, we could focus on letting Zulban rest and recover from her trauma. While Mosus lay in traction, unconscious, the elves arrived with a load of peaches that we bought for a platinum figurine and some old plant-based clothes. They don't accept wood or animal products of any kind. After they departed, Zulban threw another tantrum, breaking a craftsdwarf's rib, and then slipped into depression.

holy shit the kids are not okay

And then midsummer. Limul, your daugter is mighty and agile. We should have had her locked away. We hoped that socializing and the mist generator would do her some good. But something set her off, and she attacked Sodel, the chief medical dwarf. She broke his neck. I'm sorry to say it so bluntly, especially when you and I have never met, but she beat him until she had crushed his upper spine and then left him for dead.

the one person qualified to help her...

And then she walked straight over to iteb Lushononul's room and crushed his neck, too. Then she managed to corner the mayor and started beating him, until we were able to pull her off and calm her down again. Sodel and iteb died soon afterwards, and the mayor's upper spine is still bruised months later.

holy shit LOCK HER IN THE CAVERNS

Sadly, just two weeks before the year ended our beloved war grizzly bear Hex died suddenly when she was kicked in the head by a wild horse.

I knew the accursed wild horses would be Hex's death!!!!! She was drawn to them like a moth to a flame or dwarf to ale....

No! Hex is gone?! Did the horse come inside or did Hex wander out? I know they wandered around a lot but I hadn't seen many people going outside once the pasture was moved to the hilltop.

If we're only using the bolts for hunting we could use bone, if we wanted to save copper for other uses. But it's pretty common anyway, not sure how much it matters.

When I predicted Zulban being a problem I didn't anticipate it becoming so acute so quickly. Yikes.

hex was out helping the hunters, who were hunting the horses

barony of The Hairy Tools

Oof, poor Hex. Sounds like a FUN year.

well looks like @CommieCretzl deleted their account so @Parsani@hexbear.net i think you're up next if you're still available and interested

- let us know when you're available!
Looks like we also lost Val. Wonder where everyone's going.
- val wanted to reduce their internet presence for opsec, cretzl may have done the same.
  people are worried about backlash after the assassination attempt. i can't speak to their specific reasons, but it could be related.

Jesus, my namesake's daughter is not having a good time, nor is she creating good times

@gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net here's the latest year! i added you as an observer to the ping list

that means @SSJMarx@lemm.ee you're up next if you're still available and interested

- yeah this is the one you expressed interested in joining back in the first thread, i think. anyway it seems like we're aiming for about a week, but i don't think anyone will complain if it takes a bit longer. no hard and fast rules here, it's all about the fun
- It's been a week now, how's it going?
