In my game last night, The Cleric, a follower of the Godess of never backing down, finally reached his Cope limit after being confronted with a wall mural depicting tentacles from underground destroying a dwarven fortress, whilst in a dwarven fortress and seeing his first ever Gelatinous Cube.
Note: Gelatinous Cube is represented here by Giga Puddi, for added comedic value. Naturally, in the actual game it was a squidgy see through wall of tentacles.
Heh. I like the internal Dwarf Fortress logic that somebody actually took the time to carve a mural about everyone being murdered by tentacle monsters while everyone was being murdered by tentacle monsters.
In my head the fortress is thriving and the whole thing is an elaborate prank the dwarves play on tourists. The cube is really someone’s pet. 😛
#It is a carving of a Dwarf Fortress and a Forgotten Beast. The Forgotten Beast is Laughing.
All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality#
Technically, this is the fort they built AFTER the old one got eaten by some kind of nameless monster. This one had to be abandoned when the gods went to war over the top of it and the dwarves sided with the godess of Domination and Sacrifice, Daal.
The fort’s been abandoned for thousands of years – Theres a myconid infestation on a higher level which occasionally spreads lower due to the river that now bisects the dungeon due to a massive crack in the mountain its built in being eroded through. The gelatinous cube exists on the lower level because it can’t climb the broken staircase ^.^
I like ecological realism, ok ¬.¬
Works for me
