Boatmurdered fanfic?

It's more likely than you think.

2rd Granite: Second entry. Adventuring is not what it is in the legends. Last night was spent very uncomfortably on rock hard ground-must see about obtaining better sleeping accommodations.

3rd Granite: Purchased more blankets from a group of traveling minstrels we passed. They performed some lovely quaint pieces-for some reason, not all of my companions enjoyed their rendition of dwarven wedding hymns.

5th granite: Nothing of note lately, other than one of my companions complaining about some of the bread I brought from home. Claims he chipped a tooth on it—what nerve. My mother baked this bread for me just last year, its perfectly ripe! Chipped tooth indeed.

10th Granite: Adventuring seems to be rather boring. No bandits, no evil goblins, not even a kobold so far! Nothing like in the stories. In any case, we are still a good month or two away from Koganusan, or so my guides tell me-they warn it may take longer, since they’re map is several years old, and rather faded.

12th Granite: It seems I spoke to soon last time! Just yesterday, we were set upon by a small group of goblins, which my companions handily dispatched while I did my best directing them-they seemed to ignore my orders, but were successful in dispatching the evil goblins in any case. Huzzah!

17th Granite: No excitement since the goblin attack. Have begun carving an amulet to alleviate boredom.

28th Granite: Have successfully carved amulet of Granite. It menaces with spikes of Onyx. It depicts a human and a goblin. The human is striking the goblin down. With the close of Granite, My first month of adventuring comes to an end.

>>2861544
>Have begun carving an amulet to alleviate boredom.

Ah, so the madness begins to grow before even setting foot in Boatmurdered.

8th Slate: We stopped at a human settlement to rest and replenish our supplies. I purchased a small amount of stone to carve more amulets on the road, as the one I made before fetched a decent price in town-they seemed to think it exotic, for some reason.

15th Slate: Have finished another amulet. This one of sandstone. It menaces with spikes of sandstone. It menaces with spikes of leather. It depicts an image of a tree. It depicts an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is making a rude gesture at the tree.

Dorfen descriptions sound a lot more creepy when written by a non-dorf in diary form.

>>2861612
Best. Amulet. Ever.

19 Slate: We were ambushed by kobolds today! The cunning little bastards set a trap-fortunately, only two of my companions were injured, and nether very badly. For some reason, the kobolds set their trap with glass blades, which shattered on my companions chainmail. We dispatched them easily—I brained one with my chipping hammer when he impaled his hand on one of the spikes on the amulet I was making.

24th Slate: Finished another amulet of sandstone. It menaces with spikes of granite. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of a kobold. The dwarf is striking the kobold down.

26 Slate: Stopped at a dwarven mine, Febducim, to restock and rest. Ahh, it felt good to sleep with a good hard roof over my head, none of that silly sky business. Oddly enough, when I mentioned our quest over dinner, several dwarves went pale, or looked at me in shock. One, an odd chap with both chain, and plate mail on, with two swords, actually flung his dinner at me (what a waste of a fine dwaven ale) and stormed out of the room. I could get no information out of them regarding Koganusans location, or, indeed, anything after that.

27th Slate: Today, before we left, the odd double armed, double armored dwarf pulled me aside, and told me not to seek out Boatmurdered. He called it a dark pit of evil, and told me I would burn if I went there, then wandered off muttering something, “All burn” or something. What a strange fellow.

28th Slate: Today, my second month of adventuring comes to a close. Nothing of note happened today. Have begun work on another amulet.

7th Felsite: Finished amulet today. It is carved of talc. It menaces with spikes of talc. It menaces with spikes of talc. It depicts an image of dwarf. It depicts the image of a human. The dwarf is conversing with the human.

19th Felsite: Finished amulet today. It is carved of Gneiss. It menaces with spikes of shale. It menaces with spikes of slate. It depicts the image of a human. It depicts the image of a human. The human is laughing at the human.

22nd Felsite: We suffered an injury today-one of my companions stumbled while we were refilling our water supplies at a river, and was knocked unconscious when he struck a rock underwater-it took much effort on our part to pull him out, the female he travels with having to dive in after him, while the rest of us hauled her out with a rope while she held on to him.

25th Felsite: We are forced to postpone out quest for the time being, as my companion needs at least a week to heal, perhaps two if he takes ill of pneumonia. We have settled in, of all things, a mixed human dwarven settlement. I was not aware any such thing existed. In any case, it means we all get the lodgings we wish-I, in a nice, snug room underground, with a proper rock ceiling, while my companions insist on staying in the human inn with the ceilings of wood. Odd creatures, humans.

can...

can you CRAFT THINGS in adventurer mode now?

28th Hematite: My human companion came down with pneumonia, stranding us at settlement (Kosothlular to the dwarves, Sentil to the humans) for over a month! Fortunately, he recovered, and today, we once again set out on the road. Again, though, I could gain no information about Koganusan from the dwarven inhabitants, other than cryptic warnings not to go there. I did, however, gain a small hint from a waitress at the Inn my human companions were staying at-she claimed her father had visited it before it shut down, and said his stories placed it, according to my companions map, just over a month away!

14th Malachite: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of dolomite. It menaces with spikes of gneiss. It menaces with spikes of limestone. It depicts an image of an elephant. It depicts an image of a dwarf. The dwarf cringing. The elephant is laughing at the dwarf.

Go on...

25th Malachite: My companions claim we are close to Koganusan, according to the map! We sighted an elephant on the horizon today.

28th Malachite: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of Onyx. It menaces with spikes of jet. It menaces with jet. It depicts an image of an elephant. It depicts an image of a dwarf. The elephant is striking down the dwarf

>It depicts an image of a dwarf. The dwarf cringing. The elephant is laughing at the dwarf.
and then
>It depicts an image of a dwarf. The elephant is striking down the dwarf

The madness slowly overtakes him.

>>2861877
Do not bring your faggotry to this thread.

10th Galena: We have sighted Koganusan today! My companions claim it is but a week’s forced march, a fortnights easy march from our position. I must say, even from this distance, something seems…off about it.

11th Galena: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of jet. It menaces with spikes of granite. It menaces with spikes of sandstone. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of an elephant. The dwarf is making a rude gesture at the elephant.

>>2861905

Bracing for epic

25th Galena: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of quartzite. It menaces with spikes of quartzite. It menaces with spikes of timber. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is cringing. The dwarf is on fire. The dwarf is in a fetal position.

28th Galena: We are close. Perhaps a week more of marching will bring us within easy sight of Boatmurdered, with another few days bringing is to the entrance. Truly, this is an historic find for dwarven kind.

If you find any working levers inside, pull them.

>>2861388

Back when I was a writefag (a bit before I started coming to 4chan, mind you) some buddies of mine wanted me to do a Naruto fanfic. To be an ass, I decided to cross it with DF and stick them all in Boatmurdered. Long story short, Dodok (the girl left behind at the end of the saga) locks them outside and pulls the lever. Bad end.

The walls, they are leaking faggotry.

>>2861957
Dahahahaahahaha.

>>2861957

>>2861957

...more?

4th Limestone: Success! My previous estimates were far off-we reached the entrance to Koganusan today! My companions wish to make camp for the next two days, and explore the surrounding countryside before venturing into the mine itself-despite my excitement at finding the legendary site, I saw their wisdom, and agreed.

5th Limestone: The forest surrounding Boatmurdered is…strange. The trees and plants are stunted and warped, and the ground is absolutely full of igneous rocks and, strangely, pumice, indicated several lava flows in the past. I do wonder…is this what that strange dwarf meant with his “burn” comments?

6th Limestone: My companions are uneasy. Today, we found the rusted remains of literally dozens of goblin styled and sized weapons and armor, as well as the bones of what seem to be several elephants. Speaking of which, we have spotted an herd of the beasts across the river we crossed the other day. I can’t help but feel that they are…staring at me.

7th Limsteon: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of obsidian. It menaces with spikes of basalt. It menaces with spikes of granite. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of a elephant. The dwarf is in a fetal position. The elephant is striking the dwarf down.

>>2862043
Oh shit, elephants

8th Limestone: I managed to convince my companions to keep on in our quest, and today we unblocked the entrance (what blocked it looked disturbingly like a pile of bones…of what sort, I cannot tell) and entered Koganusan. Immediately upon entering the mine, we found many engravings on the wall, seemingly done by an engraver named Sankis. Oddly enough, he claims the titles “Emperor” and “the Beardless” in differing pieces…The engravings themselves seem to detail a great, epic battle between the dwarves of the mines, and many elephants. Several others deeper in the hall show a siege, or perhaps several sieges, by goblins, while some deal with thefts and incidents with mandrils and still more elephants.

>>2862076
The screams are screaming.

9th Limestone: We have found still more engravings by going further into the mines. Several are…disturbing, such as the ones detailing what seemed to be a flood of lava engulfing a caravan, as well as elephants and goblins. The screaming humans are so…detailed. Another engraving (titled, The Grave of Green Biles) shows a single human on fire…screaming…burning…screaming…

10th Limestone: The dwarfs of Boatmurdered seemed to have a strange fascination (or hatred) of elephants…there are many, many engravings, statues, amulets, and more depicting them in a variety of ways. In cages, being killed by dwarfs, killing dwarfs, in many poses, killing more dwarves, killing goblins, and killing more dwarfs. One of my companions vomited at the sight of one such series-a battle field, a wardog giving birth, the puppies joining the fight, elephants and dwarves hacked and trampled to death. Someone saw fit to add, at the end, a crudely hacked out message. “WELCOME TO FUCKING BOATMURDED. ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE DORFS WHO ENTER HERE”

>>2862118
FUCK YES

>>2862118
HOPE YOU LIKE MIASMA!

11th Limestone: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of granite. It menaces with spikes of jet. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of a tentacled demon. The tentacled demon is doing an unspeakable act to the dwarf. My companions looked at me strangely when they viewed it.

13th? Limestone: Oh gods. Oh dear gods. What have we done. My companions…two are dead. I don’t know where the other two are. We, we set forth deeper into the mines, and out of nowhere, we heard a roar, a demonic roar of rage and pain and hatred. A-a dwarf, I know not what else it could be, flew from a dark hallway-and, as he did, he burst into flame! Wreathed in flame, head to toe, his beard burning as a forest fire, his eyes glowing the white hot of forge-metal, and, in seconds, he had wrestled one of my companions to the ground, and the human burst into flames as well. When another tried to give aid, the demon dwarf grabbed him, and, and slammed his head into a wall with a visceral crunch. It...sounded so wet...I fled, to my eternal shame, I fled, and now I am lost within this place.

??? Limestone: I am afraid. I am going to die in this place, this accursed place. I met a young girl in this place, claiming the name Dodok. How a child, a mere dwarven girl could have survived in this place, I didn’t know…but…now, I have an idea. A horrible idea. Because I came upon my final two companions…unfortunately, that demonic, fiery dwarf had just finished butchering them. Literally, butchering. Whirling, he grabbed me by the neck, and the heat…I could feel the heat of his hand on my skin, and it blistered. The only thing that saved my life was the girl-she threw the amulet I had given her at the demon, the stone thing shattering on his head as she shouted “No, no, bad uncle Sanki! Bad!” The dwarf dropped me, and the little girl took his still burning hand, leading him away...but the flames didn’t touch her. Why…why didn’t the flames touch her…? Furthermore…Uncle Sanki? Was that demon dwarf thing the engraver whose work we found so much of, Emperor Sankis, the beardless?

>>2862223
You are gonna post this to 1d4chan right? I have to get going soon, don't want to miss anything.

??? Limestone: I stared at a river, a chasm filled with magma for what seemed like hours. The forges along its banks stood, rusted and useless. I do not know how much time has passed. I found a small storage of food, so at least I am not hungry. I have found dozens, hundreds more carvings by Sankis, and others, and a multitude of riches in other forms. I would trade I all for a passage out of this hell. No sign of the demon-dwarf, or the strange little girl.

??? Limestone: I found more carvings. I found the rulers tombs. Emperor Sankis’ was…empty. The door was smashed open and…and the stone around it blackened, scortched.

So, Sankis comes back to life as a flaming zombie? This doesn't surprise me for some reason.

???: I fear I am going mad. I found an engraving of an elephant trampling a dwarf. It’s eyes…they followed me. I felt as though it wanted to kill me. Then…I saw the demon-dwarf again, playing with the little girl. He glared at me, with those eyes, until she giggled and threw the stone they were tossing between eachother back at him. When they left, bored, I found the stone. It was a dwarven skull.

Instead of coal fires, there are only mountains of smoldering dorfs, goblins, elephants and mandrills underground that render the area uninhabitable.

We need to save this and use it to convince Toady to implement Adventure mode crafting

>>2862371
Is it just me, or does that last entry remind anyone else of the end of Suck It?

>>2862392
oh jeez

Thus ends my first attempt at writefaggotry.

>>2862435

Turn this into a screenplay.

FUND IT!

>>2862435
I liked it, but writing for Dorf Fort and general writing is a tad different so I'll have to wait to see what else you do. Make sure to post it on 1d4chan!

>>2862445
>>2862448
My thanks.
...
How does one do this?

>>2862456
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Main_Page
go here, make a page for it, put the text in, and I'm sure someone will format it later.

>>2862476
Again, my thanks.

>>2862435
I think it would have ended better one post earlier, maybe with a little tweaking to give the suggestion that the dwarf that the burning dwarf was striking down was the artist himself, and that he had somehow completed this amulet after his own death.

But hey, whatever works.

>>2862495
...damnit, now I can see an awesome ending for it. >.<
Alternate ending 1:
???: Finished an amulet today. It is crafted of quartzite. It menaces with spikes of slate. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of me. The dwarf is on fire. I am cringing. The dwarf is striking down me.

>>2862524
that still could have been him making the amulet before the fact.

It's hard to do this through journals, which are always written after the fact. He wouldn't be writting "oh god the demon is back he's choking me right now" as he's actually being choked.

>>2862528
true. I just thought it gave it a slightly creepier tone, reading the experiences of a dward through his own eyes.

>>2862537
which is why this needs to be converted into a screenplay and made into a movie.

>>2862537
It is in the form of excerpts from a diary. You could roll with having the ending be some sort of commentary note that mentions the diary (which would now be cut off to before the crafting of the final amulet) and the final amulet itself depicting the dwarf's own death being discovered inside the stomach of a slain elephant halfway across the world or something.

>>2862550
Why not a movie depicting the rise and fall of Boatmurdered itself?

>>2862560
Why not both?

Why not Boatmurdered? Just Boatmurdered? Forever and ever?

hey /tg/ my bone carver just began an mysterious construction using the craftdwarfs shop...I hope it is something good

>>2862568

A sequel kinda thing, one a tale of dwarves carving a home out in the wilderness turned fortress turned hellhole, the other a kind of first person view following the adventurer (cept for the end after his death).

>>2862558
I like that...I shall change the story to reflect it.

The dwarf put the battered leather bound journal down slowly. He had picked it up from a trade caravan, bundled with a strange amulet. The dwarf looked to the small table the amulet sat on.
It was crafted of marble. It menaced with spikes of jet. It menaces with spikes of onyx. It depicted an image of a dwarf. It depicted an image of a dwarf. It depicted an image of a young dwarf girl. The dwarf was on fire. The flaming dwarf was striking down the dwarf. The dwarven girl was laughing at the dwarf.

[I shall improve upon it later-for now, I sleep, because I'm fricking tired]

>>2862579
Orstist Zursul "The Recluse of Severing" a cave lobster shell crown

This is a cave lobster shell crown. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with giant cave spider silk adn encircled with bands of cave lobster shell, giant cave spider silk, limonite, and char bone. This object menaces with spikes of turtle shell and giant cave spider silk. On the item is an image of waves in grey chalcedony. On the item is an image of mountains in Platinum.

hmmmmmm not bad

Someone needs to find the savefile for Boatmurdered post-abandon and try reclaiming it.
