Now, I am not talking about actual gnomes here, just the mountain gnomes.
I have not yet encountered evil gnomes, but the regular mountain gnomes are giving me enough fun as it is. I just set out to make my first above-ground fortress when I noticed some mountain gnomes running about. The wiki said that they were just weak gnomes fond of alcohol, so I took no precautions other than setting two unarmed recruits to guard the beer. I tried to have my dwarves start building the houses when I saw a notification that a gnome had stolen some beer. I saw that both my guards were still there though. I had been receiving tons of notifications about dwarves being interrupted so I decided to try and kill the gnomes. They ran away too fast for my slow dwarves to catch. It was then that I noticed the teeth. There were tons of dog teeth laying all over the ground in pools of dog blood and mountain gnome blood. I had never got an announcement that one of my dogs was fighting, but now one of my stray dogs has no teeth. My stockpiles have also all dissapeared and the goods are just lying around, or they would be if all of my wood hadn't vanished. Did the gnomes do all this? Can someone please tell me what to do?
