Line 27: * [[Bizarrchitecture]]: The fortress is known for being extremely hard to navigate thanks to a maze of twisting passages, abandoned storerooms, and flooded throne rooms. * [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Inverted with the Mad Fool in-universe. He's not a very good doctor, however he's the only one Deathgate has. {{quote\| '''The Mad Fool:''' Progress! The subject survived the procedure, or at least he was still alive when he stopped screaming. He's dead now, of course, but that's hardly relevant.}} * [[Butt Monkey]]: One dwarf, nicknamed Kelsa, somehow lost both legs and and arm in an unknown incident. ** Two early militia dwarves were each missing an arm. This was not grounds for a dismissal. * [[Crapsack World]]: By the time Deathgate opens, the elves are extinct, most of the dwarven fortress have fallen, and the humans worship Llama Demons. * [[Crazy Awesome]]: {{spoiler\|noodle0117's battle of hell became this. Using a series of homemade traps, two well-timed cave-ins, live goblin drops and an obsidianizer, he took out the entity of the clown rush with only a single fatality}} {{quote\| '''noodle0117:''' Deathgate has never seen a finer day.}} * [[Death Course]]: The bridge leading to Deathgate's main entrance was lined with many deadly weapon traps. Said bridge was responsible for the death of many trolls. ** The courtyard leading into the Hellbunker was ''supposed'' to be packed with adamantine spikes, but something went wrong and they never entered operation, thus resulting in the deaths of many dwarves. * [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Derm, one of the previous mayors, was creepily calm with the amount of death and murder going on in his fort. * [[Do Not Go Gentle]]: Overlaps with [[Last Stand]]. During the final battle between the elves and the humans, the humans brought a force of over 500 strong. Only 23 and four grizzly bears were left. The end result? {{quote\| Noloc Istro, "The Battles of Burning"~~<br />~~ A: 525, mostly humans, 215 losses~~<br />~~ D: 23 elves, 4 grizzly bears, 23 losses~~<br />~~ Attacker was victorious. }} * [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: The fort's full name is Deathgate the Doom-Fortress. Line 46: * [[Elves vs. Dwarves]]: Averted, as the humans wiped out the last of the elves during worldgen. * [[Evil Weapon]]: The Red Monster Sword, a sword made completely of !!Fire!! To date, it has never been used in combat as anyone who attempts to wield it is horribly burnt, and a fair number of dwarves died simply trying to carry it to the shrine built for it. * [[Fun ~~With~~with Acronyms]]: '''B'''ig '''A'''cceleration '''T'''ransforming '''T'''ransistor '''E'''xtracting '''R'''aw '''E'''nergy '''Y'''ield ** '''C'''razy '''A'''wesome '''R'''econ '''P'''atrol * [[Ghost Town]]: Vast sections of Upper Deathgate are practically abandoned due to the majority of the population relocating to Lower Deathgate. Many of the bedrooms and workshops have not seen use in several years, and at this point the surviving dwarves wouldn't really make a dent in the facilities anyway. * [[Giving the Sword Toto A Noob]]: Untrained recruits are often given adamantine equipment, despite barely understanding how to use any of it. * [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation]]: Tends to plague former overseers in-universe. {{spoiler\|They get better after hell is breached.}} * [[Haunted Castle]]: And '''how'''. One goblin adventurer was choked to death by the ghost of a woodcutter. * [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place]]: It is named Deathgate after all. Also the Hellbunker. Line 56: ** Massivedemons and Reignfiend were Goblin strongholds. * [[Incendiary Exponent]]: {{quote\| '''kefkakrazy''': By the way, the final confrontation with the surviving Fire Bros took place in the Hellbunker's booze stockpile, so the responding dwarves had to deal with haunt of fire blasts in addition to the occasional shower of boiling booze. I suspect that flaming wine was the cause of Super-Cat's death.}} * [[Kick the Dog]]: One sadistic overseer dumped hundreds of live animals down a deep pit just for the fun of it. ** It was also to boost lagging framerates, but mostly for fun. Line 65: * [[Made of Iron]]: Paindeer. It's your average deer, which somehow survived not one but ''two'' hits from a siege ballista and which wandered around for a while with vital organs hanging out of its body. * [[Madness Mantra]] {{quote\| Must not go to the circus.... Must not let out the clowns...}} * [[Malevolent Architecture]]: The aptly named Doom Bridge. {{quote\| '''AnimaRytak:''' The upper system was never really complete and because of the deaths it was causing, it was shut down.~~<br />~~ '''Dariush:''' You aren't true dorfs!~~<br />~~ '''AnimaRytak:''' Noodle died three times on it! }} * [[Man Bites Man]]: A fortress champion, Karakzon, used his teeth against a Forgotten Beast. * [[Mundane Utility]]: noodle0117's BATTEREY stands out. It was built as a super-powerful dwarven water reactor, able massive amounts of power to operate any number of [[Pointless Doomsday Device\|Pointless Doomsday Devices]]. Instead, for almost the entirety of its life, it was used operate a single millstone. * [[Paint the Town Red]]: The primary bridge leading into Deathgate was, for a time, painted almost entirely blue due to the large amount of trolls that had been massacred in their attempt to breach the fortress. In addition,{{spoiler\|the floors of both the Hellbunker and hell itself are coated in demon and dwarf blood.}} {{quote\| '''noodle0117:''' I might need a bit more time getting the update up, since my computer literally crashed from the sheer amounts of gore, death, and dwarven engineering awesome.}} Deconstructed: Syndromes carried by that blood have infected the vast majority of the fort population, leading them to all have painful blisters of their feet from touching it. * [[Redshirt Army]]: The high fatality rate among the military has turned them into this. {{spoiler\|Deconstructed, the loss of many of the better military dwarfs has left Deathgate woefully under defended, and unable to replace those losses in a timely matter. See [[We Have Reserves]] below}} Line 84: ** Typically, most named 'dorfs' suffer short lives after being named. Noodle stands out as a particular case, suffering numerous deaths in a short span. Baelor "The Bastard" II had his second dorf selected, named, and killed in the span of about a month... and the death took place within sight of the ghost of Baelor I. * [[Scare Chord]] * [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]] * [[Shout -Out]]: Contains numerous shout outs to [[Boatmurdered]], [[Warhammer 40 K,000]], and [[Zalgo]]. * [[Temple of Doom]]: The Temple of Armok was this. Complete with a sacrificial altar. That never really worked right. * [[Total Party Kill]]: "I had an update ready, but I wound up... well, I accidentally our entire military."
