I could trap them right now with the flip of a switch right now. It's so tempting, but i don't think I can handle seiges yet.
-
wait, you can capture merchant elfs in cage traps?
That is awesome.
-
No, but my trade depot in in a aclove and I could flip the switch and trap them all in there.
-
Check to see if they have any bears or eagles for sale. If not, THEN slaughter/trap/whatever them.
-
They got a black bear. They got lucky. This time. :P

elf sieges are nothing to be too afraid of, even though I've never gotten one. They don't seem to mind their traders getting killed now and then.
-
They brought two cages.
I thought: "Squee, breeding pair"
But then I realized they were both male.
Hey, lye maker, see that lever over there?
-
Now remember, you gotta mod black bears before they are trainable as war black bears, but it is worth it. Having Bearmageddon on a lever as your last resort weapon of defence is something no fortress should be without. (be sure the lever is where tantrumers/curious monkeys can't get it)
I have yet to test my Bearmaggeddon as my fortress has yet to have its military fail to prevail, but I am sure I shall get to unleash it in due time.
also, as for the lack of breeding pair, it DID take me 3 caravans to get mine, but it was fully worth it. I now have something like 30 war black bears. not counting all thecubs. Sadly, they have yet to bring a mate for my grizzly bear.

Also, what makes this all the better, there are engravings of an elf getting struck down right outside the depot. ;D

Oh, see, in that case, the elven leaders are expecting you to do horrible things. They must have sent their convicted criminals to you as punishment.

I second the motion.

Well, it's mid-spring.
Ill wait for the next wave on elfish convicts. xD

You should trade them weapons an armor.
Queen: "You made it back alive."
Convict: "Well you don't have to sound so disappointed."
Queen: "Did you at least get some good useless rock crap?"
Convict: "Better! I got this steel sword!" -stab-
Queen: "Nooo! I thought this wooden chain mail would protect me!"
-commence elf on elf violence-
-
Oh gosh, they're here.
I could oull the lever right now! it's so temmmpting

But then the elven revolution will have actual weapons to fight you with if you anger them.
-
Thats why magma traps are important.
-
But, watching them suffer is more fun.
-
leave them locked in a room, keep them barely alive via quantum stockpiling, but trapped untill they go insane, and one of them kills the others, then let the insane elf go right when a new elven caravan is arriving.
