Xiphoid

Hello! I'm looking for a group to join in the Buffalo area. I haven't played D&D for a few years, and I'm looking to get back into it. I live in East Aurora, if you know of a group looking to add a player nearby feel free to reach out.

I'm looking for a group that meets Friday evenings or weekends. I live in the Southtowns, shoot me a PM if you're in the area and looking for a player.

Strange thing. Whenever I check the health information on a particular dwarf in my military, DF crashes. It doesn't crash when I check the health of other dwarves, or when I look up other information about the dwarf.

The dwarf in question was wounded in a fight with a forgotten beast. He got extract all over him and took heavy wounds.

Is this a known bug or other weirdness?

Is it just me, or does refuse take much, much longer to decay away than it did in 40d?

I currently have 5 full 10x10 refuse piles, and I have to build more. This is a little out of hand.

I can't figure out how to get my soldiers to patrol. I know there's an order for "patrol a route" under scheduling, but I don't know how to set up a route.

I've gotten this far by using a combination of workarounds, but I'd like to do it right.

I dug out a hole to toss prisoners in, so that my marksdwarves can practice taking potshots at them. One particular goblin lasher, however, got lucky. He has survived for so long, that he has become insanely high leveled. Nothing can touch him.

I think his armor using/ shield using skills and his dodging skills have become legendary by now. On top of that he's insanely tough and fast healing.

On the flip side, my marksdwarves now have a near unlimited source of XP.

EDIT: The combat report is now 30 pages long. My marksdwarves are getting close to legendary.

Any ideas for things to do with him that aren't shooting him?

EDIT2:

I have finally figured out how the goblin may earn his freedo

I'm building some wells above a cavern. Will flying creatures be able to enter my fortress through the wells, and will swimming creatures scare my dwarves?

If they will, what can I do to safely build the wells?

EDIT:

Ok, I got it. I ended up sending my dwarves into the cavern, building a scaffold, and putting fortifications under the wells to keep out nasties. Thanks for the help.

EDIT2:

Actually, didn't work. Turns out fortifications and floor grates block the well from the water.

My military of 30 strong dwarves, well trained and fully equipped with adamantine weapons and armor, has just been nearly wiped out. None of them are dead, they're just completely useless. Allow me to explain.

While exploring the caverns, the FB appeared. I fell back to the entrance of my fort with my military, and waited for it. As soon as it appeared, my sturdy dwarves cut it to small pieces. However, it had just enough time to make fun happen. The dust it created had an interesting side effect. Every memeber of my military exposed to the dust (most of them) are now blind rotting alive. My fortress (especially the hospital) is now covered in blood and miasma as blind, rotting soldiers ble

So badass.

EDIT: I just realized that this artifact is worth 1/3 of my fortresses value

EDIT2: I got another one, this one's a shoe. This is out of control, in the best possible way.

I set my craft workshops to create rock short swords, and they seem to be making wooden swords.

What's up with this?

The humans sent a demonic diplomat to my fort. He's been running around destroying furniture for several months now. None of my dwarves are meeting with him. Any way to get rid of him? I don't mind starting a war, and I have 60 soldiers in my military.

Using DF 31.10:

Sometimes, dwarves seem to get stuck idle. I have the labors activated, and jobs lined up to do, but they don't do them.

Occasionally, I'll have a fortress in which I can't move my crafts to my trade depot. The crafts aren't forbidden, but, for some reason, they don't appear on the trade depot's list of goods.

Dwarves went hunting for rats and drinking from rivers, when I had plenty of food stockpiled.

Any idea what could cause this?

I finally made the switch to DF2010. However, I can't figure out how to build magma smelters and forges. I checked b-e, nothing. Any suggestions?
