{{quote|My adventurer fought through around sixty zombies in the tower, killed the necromancer, learned the secrets of life and death, and then raised various limbs (not my own). Then I talked to one of them, and it told me that it was peasant. It was flattered but had no need of my services. I imagine its little fingers were shaped into the form of a mouth and they flapped back and forth while it spoke with a high-pitched voice. I guess there's still work to do.

{{quote|Of course, you might prefer raining "blood", but we don't have generic blood anymore and I don't think it's proper to add it now that we've got real alternatives, though perhaps a slurry of some kind would be appropriate later. It didn't even work out right with the rodent man blood - the indexing was screwed up, and we ended up with "a dusting of rodent man skin"... dandruff snow.

{{quote|
'''Loud Whispers''': If you try graveyard you're probably going to run into the problem of running out of burial space.
'''Loud Whispers''': [https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-18960478 I recommend building the pyramid of death]. It was proposed in London in the 19th century but they didn't go ahead with it because it was a pyramid of death.
'''Dunamisdeos''': They didn't built it because it was a pyramid of death? That's a stupid reason. That like saying I don't want chocolate ice cream because it's delicious.
'''LordBrassroast''': This is what DF does to people.

{{quote|'''Tuefel Hunden IV:''' I found out there are apparently a limited number of night creatures. So I am guessing if you manage to kill all the night creatures you won't fear the night, the night will fear you.

{{quote|'''Edwards Grizzly''': We seem to be incredibly lucky in that this evil biome's mists cause instant death, rather than turn-into-a-shambling-husk-and-murder-everyone-who-ever-loved-you.
'''fishsicles:''' Not technically instant, for big enough creatures; those water buffalo sat around oozing blood for a few days before they kicked it. But for a dwarf, probably instant yeah.
'''Count Dorku:''' ...this is how we define ''luck'' nowadays?! I'm terrified in many languages.
