woah woah woah hold up, zombies attack vampires now?

woah woah woah hold up, zombies attack vampires now?

On the bright side the position of mayor is now opened...

[Deus Asmoth]

I'm guessing it was something to do with her being active in the militia, but it was kind of a surprise.

Could this also be caused by the zombies being led by sentient beings, instead of being just roaming undead creatures?

[Gojira1000]

Pat is still alive? Excellent. And that does solve the vampire issue (though yeah, since when do zombies attack vampires?) Things continue to be interesting on the glacier.

Deus' Diary, 4th of Hematite
Cilob Cavefastened has finished working after nearly a month in a workshop. I can't deny that it's a beautiful bed, but that doesn't change the fact that it's made of stone.

Black Pat has lost the position of mayor to some engraver or other. At least now we don't have to worry about our leader strangling us, but I can't say I'm all that comfortable with a thirteen-year-old being in charge.

27th of Hematite
Watching the magma at the lower levels of Icehold, I'm tempted to try pumping it all the way up to the surface. It honestly seems like the only way to get rid of the undead infesting the surface. Even selling your soul for immortality isn't enough to make them go away... We don't have the numbers to combat them directly, at least. Perhaps we should just smoosh them with a bridge.

2nd of Malachite
We've started crafting armour for the militia at long last. I can't see it helping much, but it'll shield us from attacks that may come from underground.

16th of Galena
The metalsmiths tell me that they've run through all of the adamanatine that we found. They were only able to make a small amount of armour and three swords and spears out of it, but what we have is truly astounding stuff. The blade feels as light as a feather compared to a steel one, but it still cuts through stone under its own weight. I've made sure that all of the soldiers with one of those weapons have been told in no uncertain terms not to draw them for any reasons other than training or combat; it seems like the perfect situation for someone to accidentally sever a hand or something.

[Deus Asmoth]

Sorry for the delay, people. We're just getting into winter, and not a lot is going on. The new militia recruits are halfway competent now, and I found out that the door to the stockpile of yeti meat was locked (was that for any particular reason or is it ok to turn it all into yeti meat roasts?). We also have a tube running into the magma sea for the dumping of various things,  and Id Orbmasters has a slab (real name Amkash Vicuonust Jepumnilum Adho, so I guess she was secretly an elf as well?)

[Taupe]

Poke poke.

[Deus Asmoth]

Oh. Er, sorry. I thought I'd posted the last update on this for some reason. I'll see if I have the writeup saved somewhere and post it this evening.

[Deus Asmoth]

Yup. Sorry for the delay. I kind of ran out of steam halfway through the year in any case. I guess I was just hoping the zombies would go away once the vampire plan didn't work.

Deus' Diary, 8th of Opal
Mistem Mistymanor, Vesh's Minion, has created a ring made from dog bone that he's calling the Foggy Calamities. It's nothing particularly special, so I've sent him to the newly created jail for killing a dog. Jerk.

1st of Obsidian
Honeymoon has become a legendary record keeper. Perhaps if our militia had similar skill levels, they'd be able to do something about all those zombies still lurking around the place.

5th of Obsidian
The zombies may actually prove to be a useful barrier against any other invaders that come our way. They started swarming something today, and when they eventually cleared out there was a weretortoise corpse on the ground. So long as we all stay inside and no one does anything stupid, they could be the a better defence than anything that a living dwarf could come up with.

Deus' Diary

For some reason, a child is now in charge of this place. I guess I have no one to blame but myself, but I'm concerned about his plans to set the zombies on fire. I imagine it would involve magma at some stage, and I can't see that mixing well with all the ice that the dead are standing on...
