ooooooof
these are kind of interesting. I'm guessing maybe Wizard's Mindbomb and Asgarnian Ale for the first two. Don't know about the cat one
maybe theyll be used in a puzzle in MotB?
It's my own special brew
all the fort buildings have proper ceilings
it gives you more camera angles to work with for cutscenes, though that's probably unintentional
a tarantino level of fountain
once upon a time in FORT
what is going on with my chapel ? o.o
that's like flickering like crazy btw not static
aurora borealis?
Wish I could like...take gif of it because it's wild to watch...
I saw a great Steamed Hams video a few weeks ago
A man's attempt to impress his employer with a home-cooked meal goes awry. Inspired by The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
More Hams...
Steamed Hams but it was banned in the USSR

I don't know why this only just appeared in my recommendations
It should have gotten more attention during the meme's heyday
Looks Ahh I see, I found the problem, it is a Zarosian Chapel.
i do like the fort ceilings and stuff but they do take like
artfully crooked to an extreme
It’s an Azzanadra chapel
Ew?
Even worse
A little slice of Erebus right in your own Fort.
Nice, I’ll be done in a day or so letting Iaia build up construction materials while I focus on other games.
This is the first track I did fully without skips, kinda excited ngl
Every post 70 task should be 2.5 hours
Agility and that one late game FMing task might have been skip worthy. But I had a ton of agility dummies so I used those to chunk out a section making Anachronia runs for the rest of it fine. While the one FMing task that was bad I just skilled and killed.
Need 11 more tokens to get all the untradable shop exclusives
I don’t want all the exclusives I just want one cape, just not sure which yet
Black has more fashion potential but the red cape has the better design
Not sure what I’ll do with the rest of my tokens, maybe buy the rest of the zarsosian track stuff now that I’ve found a way to rekindle myself as a Zarosian follower.
Jesus, have you seen grass in the past 2 weeks??
so much grass
Real grass, Vern? In real life?
yes sir
well
it was a lil covered in snow
the key has been
ive had 0 reason to go into the office in 2 weeks
so full wfh kinda completes yak tracks
I am in the 40s
"Well adventurer, I made it, despite your directions."
"Ah, King Roald, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable supper!"
"Oh, ye gods! My roast is ruined! But what if... I were to purchase pub food and disguise it as my own cooking? Ho ho. Delightfully demonic, <yourname>."
"ADVENTUREEER!"
"King Roald! I was just... uh-stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric agility. Care to join me?"
"Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, adventurer?"
"Uh... Oh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed crabs we're having. Mm, steamed crabs!"
"King Roald, I hope you're ready for some mouthwatering cabbages."
"I thought we were having steamed crabs."
"Oh no, I said 'steamed cabs'. That's what I call cabbages."
"You call cabbages 'steamed cabs'?"
"Yes, it's a regional dialect."
"Uh-huh. What region?"
"Uh... Upstate Misthalin."
"Really. Well, I'm from Varrock, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed cabs'."
"Oh, not in Varrock, no. It's a Fort Forinthry expression."
"I see."
"You know, these cabbages are quite similar to the ones they have at the Jolly Boar."
"Hohoh no! Patented <yourname> cabbages. Old family recipe."
"For steamed cabs."
"Yes."
"And you call them steamed cabs, despite the fact they are obviously raw."
"Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second."
"Of course."
"yawn Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped."
"Yes, I should be- Good lord of light, what is happening in there?!"
"Strange power?"
"Strange power? At this time of year, at this time of day, localized entirely within your kitchen?!"
"Yes."
"...May I see it?"
"...No."
"Your Grace! The fort is on fire!"
"No Aster, it's just a dead Mahjarrat."
"Well, adventurer, you are an odd fellow... but you steam a good cab."
"Help! Heeelp!"
QUEST COMPLETE!
Well-grilled Mahjameat.
I keep forgetting to claim my yak coins and stalling my coin gains, can't I just auto redeem this stuff.
The coin can just get dumped in my currency pouch and the star can go on the floor
Or in the trash where it belongs.
Four days til quest
QWAST
Okay, I have 18 mahogany frames, 18 teak frames, 18 oak frames, 18 regular wood frames, and 21 stone wall segments
I think I'm ready to build my Tier 3 kitchen
Probably
I think I'm good to go?
yeah
Inb4 you need cabbages
We haven't needed any like
Candles or iron/steel, no planks or boards, just frames
We've got brick and mortar but
more like a whetstone to sharpen those knives for Cobweb slaying.
The place is just inexplicably fully furnished
good point...you think Aster's going around scavenging all the furniture?
The person in charge of the station might tell them what they need, and then they go get that
I wonder if at some point in development they had more ambitious aims of how to furnish the interior
Sort of like more traditional construction, like maybe you build the building and then depending on what tier it is you can build different hotspots
So you could have like a tier 3 Keep but with tier 2 chairs
Or like if you don't care for the trophy mounts on the walls you don't have to build those
Though I'm also wondering... and honestly kinda hoping that characters might respond to how everything is built lol
Like if you're only at tier 1 maybe Roald walks in and is like eegh
THIS is the fort?
Is it... is it finished?
Would it be better for us to come back another time?
No Guards and a shack for a fort? Are you even trying? -Ellamaria, Murder on the Border
They don't want it too customizable (scope would get too big)
That would be great
I'm here, there's no need for guards. Besides, I've seen the guards in Varrock.
Are you there 24/7?
Very well then
Even were I not, it is a Fort.
Someone should probably man the defenses of a fort, I think
I'm sure just the Fremennik I've recruited there would be able to hold down a fort, they're not known for being easy to get into
Like wasn't the response usually to just wait until they run out of food?
We need peasants to conscript
that brings up a good point...Moia is holed up in Deamonheim, right? If so, are the Fremmeniks based outside okay?
I don't think those Fremennik are canonically still around?
i assumed at this point that the zamorakians dont use like
the castle on top
to leave and enter
Yeah I assumed they have ways to enter the underground, not needing the surface
I assume Moia has taken over the surface personally
Kinda weird of the Zamorakians control the wilderness except for the piece above their headquarters
Not to the say they can't just be teleporting in and out or using the resource dungeons or whatever
But I'd assume canonically the Fremmenik has been run off / are dead
I wouldn't be surprised if elite Fremmenik outfit npcs became our fort guards though
Counterpoint: no one could kill Thok
I guess 61 floors is a long way to walk every time
HC: The Zamorakians have vacated Daemonheim because it's a dump they've moved operations over to Zemo's castle which is now Moia's castle and Daemonheim is largely abandoned except by Bilrach's forces that didn't want to be loyal to Moia.
Thok was busy visiting Charos
I hope we see more Charos soon
Can't see why we would cause he's kind of a villain/very grey character.
I hope we see more Charos soon
That’s so funny, I was thinking to myself what you were gonna say and that I’d just say the same thing again
I’m a seer
😛
I was just typing a question on what his role would be and here you are hassling me for it
Like I'm not against more Charos I'm just curious where he'd fit in
Unless he's responsible for the murder
Quest is just Charos cleaning up an old identity
Works
That sounds like a funeral for Reldo
Would have been interesting if Reldon was a guest
Charos as a villain sounds really cool, can’t remember what Jack said recently but it was somewhat adjacent
Probably too much to explain in a first quest
Charos isn't the kind of cackling evil villain, he's more subtle, he assassinates people and grows his power. The story I think you're recalling is how Saradomin might not be comfortable with Varrock given how ingrained in the shadows of its politics Charos has been.
No that’s not it but I liked that
oh
#lore-off-topic message
Ah
Just the idea that he could play a villain in any sense
Think he’d be cool
Works as an ally too though (or both)
To me he's less a villain and more of a "survive at all costs"
Which leads to villainy
He's smart enough to know siding against us in any meaningful way means not surviving
Murder at the Border we solve a murder of a royal but never learn why it happened/get the feeling there was more story, this fades into the background due to the much more immediate zamorakian threat, much later down in the story it's revealed Charos ordered the murder and he uses the aftermath of the zamorakian attacks to launch a shadow political coup.
Final boss of the two year storyline "Charos the Enchanter"
I mean he canonically already is though
wait I missed a moment
Final boss of the two year storyline "Charos the Enchanting"
This seems really stupid for the Zamorakians to do
Portal powerssss
QUOST
I dunno vacating a place with insanity whispers seems smart to me
MURDER. BOARDER.
#JUSTDUKETHINGS
The Murder is either gonna have an absolute backstory, with perfect motivation or they’ll be Mahjarrat who took their place and did this to stir up stuff
The mention of cultists attacking the royal entourage makes me wonder
And the fact this is meant to be the start of a new storyline
The Zamorakians are justified in their attacks on Fort Forinthry. Misthalins have been building upon traditional Zamorakians lands, only giving the Zamorakians the other 80% of wilderness. For this reason Fire surge strikes from Daemonheim shouldn’t be surprising
The King of Misthalin. He is reserved, diplomatic and mild mannered
flashbacks to priest in peril
Mostly mild mannered
Flashbacks to like a bunch of scenes from the books
Flashbacks to at least a good few scenes from the game
I don't know why he's characterized that way haha
He's certainly a good guy and he's very diplomatic
He's a nice man
But there's absolutely a fire in him that comes out from time to time
Like this is the man we're talking about here
Ol' Roald's certainly no pushover
Isn't that art from River of Blood or something? Nothing ever came of it
That's mood art I believe that they used for RoB but it's based on something else that happened in the lore
the legends guild symbol is coincidentally kinda similar to the fort forinthry shield
in that they're both snakey dragons
I noticed that the other day, really cool
I wonder if it's intentional or based on dragon sq
Watch it be foreshadowing that the necrosyrtes will be getting involved, I mean it's unlikely but I just wanted to seed that hope.
Personal preference (for a lore explanation) is that it's a dragon slayer reference
We're not going to be able to hold onto it and the Legends' Guild is going to send some adventurers over to take our place
Meanwhile the Champions' Guild is gonna be like wh--
Guys come on
Doesn't our family crest have a dragon also, a bit out dated but almost looks like the fort?
Prepared to fend off any incursions =D
Anyone think we'll get a GE at our fort at some point?
I'm assuming not but wouldn't complain too much
Our fort is not a trade hub
yet
Im sure they have a plan for necromancy
But
A Merchanting skill with the Fort woulda worked so well
The GE is only a short distance away anyway.
Which means a trade route to it isn't unrealistic, good idea Wahi!
A trade hub to access the G.E would be very nice since aesthetic I hate the Max Guild/Prif and when necromancy comes out everyone gets kicked out the guild
Trade routes with caravans that you can protect/attack for loot, I believe that was something in WE2 and it was one of the better parts of the event.
I love the idea of trade routes
I don't see a Fort GE on the cards, think they've said they'd never want to add another GE again
Can always change their mind ofc, that was said quite a while ago
Slightly concerned about trying to fit the whole game into the fort. But I'm working from the basis that I think it's preferable for more places in the world to have value than less
more GEs split people up and I think they want to concentrate players in one or two locations
like with m&s they made the artisans workshop the hub
A teleport to the GE from the fort wouldn't be a bad idea, like an NPC who could escort you there in-universe
I'd rather have one in the fort
Having people spread out is fine in general, but there should be hubs too
Like if I want to train X bank standing skill whatever that is, I don't think it's a benefit for me to be training that by myself in Yanille, someone else in Seers, ect and having that kind of thing being spread out because it doesn't matter where its trained
If I want to train fishing, deep sea fishing is kind of the go to place and that's nice, before that it's most likely sharks at the guild (idk if lrc is still active?)
I think a tele to GE is the best we can expect at the fort

🚨 THE RAPTOR'S HEADED TO FORT FORINTHRY?!?
We've seen reports that The Raptor might be heading our way...
What could they want at our humble fort? 👀
Challenges? 👀
@still edge
Yeah but better to be written poorly in a temporary piece of content and fixed for the new permanent thing
If anything they'll probably be extra careful with him this time
Oh wait
Didnt @still edge say something about giving lore to something that didn't have lore? Is it raptor? 👀
Woops
Wrong jack
Oh well not worth a retag 😂
I was also seeing people guess that he's actually someone we already know? I don't think I'd like that
I kinda like him just as the mysterious wandering warrior
If he's someone else we already know it feels kind of like one of those EU star wars things that just makes the world feel really small?
What's the trope? Skippy the droid?
Yeah little boring if it's someone we already know
Unless it's just pulled off super well
It’s Bob
The axe salesman
He used to kill monsters out of racism now he kills monsters but isn’t racist.
We could get like a hint about his past
That could be cool
But if there were a moment where like he takes off his helmet and it's like surprise it was Philippe all along
That would feel kinda like
For real?
Obviously it's Meg
Oh God don't even. You know I love Meg but no way
Prez drew that once!
Inb4 the Raptor is actually several different people all assuming the same identity at different points in time 🙄
And surprise, we're very familiar with all of them!
Newest signature hero has to be the raptor for a few weeks
It could be kind of fun to see raptor rounding up a gang of new signature heroes since we've killed / broken so many of them
I like how one of them really died in the sense that they're gone and we'll never see them again?
Linza died but she's a wight
Owen died but he was resurrected
So really only one of them is really dead and gone
Owen's not even undead, he's just straight up alive again, I hesitate to even count him
And yet everyone's like "omg Jagex are killing off all the signaturw heroes"
Yeah not dead
Really just 1 dead
The rest broken
Ariane and Ozan I guess are fine?
"They were a failed experiment so now Jagex js getting rid of them, they're all dead now
Ariane snorting kra probably should have left her pretty messed up
Meanwhile the Raptor, Ozan, Ariane and Owen are all still very much alive
4 out of the 6, plus another who's dead but still around in some capacity
Yeah they're really killing them all off
I had someone insisting to me oh
Ozan's gonna die in the Menaphos quests because "they're killing off the signature heroes"
Then when he doesn't "Ariane's gonna die in Azzanadra's Quest because they're killing off the signature heroes"
every time we're told who the raptor is and what his origin is, it should be something different
and they all make sense, but contradict
so the community will be like "origin #23 is the correct one, in this essay I will..."
Tbf didn't Owen and Linza die a tiny bit
A mystery needs an answer
Come to think of it Owen died a few times
I would find it unsatisfying if we never found out who he is
Interesting, I would find it unsatisfying if we ever did find out
Zaros couldn't remain "the mysterious god" forever
Maybe he should have
The difference with Zaros was there was a ton of lore surrounding him, he led an empire he led the Mahjarrat, there wasn't really much mystery beyond him not being widely followed?
Xau-Tak however they haven't explained, Xau-Tak doesn't have a long detailed past and I doubt they'll give it one over keeping it largely mysterious.
Sometimes the answer can never live up to the mystery, the interest is all about the mystery. If Banksy was revealed, no one would care? It'd be news for like a day of "oh wow it was Joe Bloggs, that guy no one has heard of" then no one would have any interest because the "mystery" is the point
There isn't a character that exists that them being Raptor would be more interesting than the mystery, and if they were to create a new character to be the Raptor then where's the benefit in a reveal?
I think personal preference is just for raptor to be raptor
That being said I'd like some more characterization / background to them
when the mystery is the point of the character, I don't know if that's really true
I think we can learn more about who the raptor is without there being a reveal that the raptor is someone else
maybe in a closed off story, but in a serialised story then answering who the raptor is makes it difficult moving forwaed
The Raptor can be a clear character and getting to know them more or more lore on them is fine, as long as it's not a "reveal" or like their origin.
Learning who the Raptor is or where they come from? Bleh 🤢
Learning what motivates the Raptor and what they do? Hmm 👀
I think revealing the raptor is something you have to be really careful with, if done at all
Though quite obviously it’s …
Alice!
@eager shale That isn’t her name right?
Her name isn’t Alice
It’s going over your head 😔
Ok well my name isn’t Alice
getting over an illness
Yeah Linza is dead, there's no two ways about it. She's still around though
OWEN is alive
i will ask bryan if he gets the reference. i don't watch a lot of drag
but he watches every season of drag there is
Oh my god Ty I’m going to cry

No yeah I'm not saying we shouldn't EVER find out about him, but he needn't be... you know, the big twist reveal that he's secretly someone in disguise who we already know!! Le gasp!
Pick up prizes in our Squeal of Fortune reinvention!
I found a source on her being called Alice
alice? who the * * * * is alice??
Yelp
Also I sort of agree with this. A mystery with an ambiguous answer is far more alluring and keeps you thinking about it long after
There is also the matter to consider that we go years on end between pieces of Raptor content
I mean she was just zapped with a magic wight-ify spell, which btw super OP, so I think you could make a case that a writer could write that if we undo the magic she just be mortal alive again. She isn’t like the barrows bros who were converted after they died.
Ehhh it would be a little contrived methinks?
Like "Yeah Linza is a zombie but she's still alive"
Doesn't really add up, you know?
Could have her as an undead sig hero trying to find her place in a world that fears her
There's some interesting story potential there
I had a lot of questions "curing Lookout Ekhai from turning into a zombie" 
Theo have you heard of a type of necromancy known as "resurrection"?
The wand is broken
That doesn't add up so much at least in my mind either? Surely she wouldn't go out and try to find a job and face some kind of social prejudice? That's quite silly, I would imagine she'd want to rest in peace
Maybe she's left to shamble aimlessly across the land, in unspeakable agony for all time, until some Adventurer can come and free her from her own rotting husk
But I doubt it's like "Ah Sliske's gone! Now I can go out to the shops!"
"Oh no they have a no zombies policy and now I have to fight for undead civil rights" like that's--
That would be absurd, but not what I'm suggesting
Imagine a roving hero who is actually a monster
Going from place to place and doing good
But concealing her nature
The guy from Princess Mononoke?
Who
I actually only saw that one myself very recently
But I joke
If you kill a necromancer their minions don't then gain autonomy though
I doubt Linza actually has much say in what happens to her 😦
I just wanted to say thank you for freeing me.
Now there are no strings controlling me. I am me again.
At least now I *can* feel. I can act. I can be me. Whereas before I was nothing but Sliske's toy.
Perhaps we can be a force for good. The brothers are skilled combatants and I can craft fine weapons. Between us we could be a powerful military force for justice. I mean it helps that we can't easily die.
- Linza (2016)
If you kill a necromancer their minions don't gain autonomy though
I doubt Linza has much say in what happens to her
- Theo (2023)

You know if it wasn’t for the trying to make the fort new foundations for people, the barrows brothers and Linza feel like an obvious choice for a military force for our fort?
I have this genre of music in my head which I don't really have a good name for
but it includes british men shouting who the fuck is alice
and chanting sweet caroline
Lol
there's also songs that should be in that group but I pretend they're not because i like them
eg mr brightside, come on eileen, etc
i also think whoever sings vindaloo has the most terrifying voice i've ever heard
"sings" isn't accurate
gammoncore
I think it's unfair to group any singalong anthem in with alice
I'd love to have the barrows brothers as soldiers for our fort.
Continue the links to Sliske 
I’m stealing this
I’ve seen the barrows brothers idea pop up a few times I think but I’m not really a big fan
Well, depends where we go with necromancy i guess
Just feels quite far out narratively to me and would blur the lines a bit by reference to 6th age
itd be cool if they featured in the skill somehow but having them wandering around our fort i dont like
that doesnt feel like a certified grounded moment
Fair enough. I guess barrows are a bit far fetched atm.
We need our evil arc.
Then barrows slaves will be grounded.
How long until we start slinging the undead at our foes anyway?
3-4 months?
Damn, we're going to have to hurry up with the questing aren't we if we want to sell the necromancers aren't actually evil plot.
Don't think that the Barrows Brothers and Linza would want to defend our fort.
Probably beats living in a swamp
Maybe the swamp makes them feel at home since they're undead
They are saradominists, and one zamorakian, I’d think they jump at the chance to protect Misthalin.
One's a little of both but
Still, I don't think that would happen
It would seem a bit corny
It's kinda like "after all Arrav went through, what if we made him our undead slave!"
I love Linza but I wish she had never died, think there’d of been a lot of potential as the “smithing character”
Though I feel the same way about Xenia too 😂
she'll be involved in Necromancy COPIUM
wonder if barrows will show up in necromancy at all
Probably not, they seem to be forgotten if anything
Necromancy will allow use of all the characters the sixth age killed
and 5th
i guess but those are all gods
i dont really think necromancy is even possible with them
Brother Samwell
Linza
Xenia
Spoilers ||Not exactly. He was turned into a wight, but then after we beat Sliske the Barrows Brothers were freed of his control, so Nomad could still be out there as a wight||
||But he hasn't been mentioned since, so||
God damnit.
Inb4 Necromancy final boss.
Na he's a good guy now
You are correct
Define good-good
I don't know what Perseus means
In Elegy his goal was to defend the people of Gielinor from the gods
By making an eldritch horror looking like Guthix.
Which if I recall correctly was made by the souls of the deceased.
A few dozen souls to defend a few hundred thousand lives
Eck.
Anti-hero
He has this thing where he gets older but just never wiser
Sounds like the headmaster of the ZMI.
