Wanted to give a public shout out to the absolute chad Aban Onuldakas, militia leader of the Cloudy Hammers. He and his two mates, all new recruits in a barely-dug-in fortress, managed to take down a fire breathing sauropod FB with no injuries.
Aban, you are a prime example of why dwarves will never be overcome. Well struck!

Bash the tankards and drain the kegs, that's a proper Dorf hunter

Remind yourself that losing is fun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yyAgk9der4)

Wow! That's exciting! How did they kill the FB? and What was the FB made of? Is there any explanation as to why they were able to kill it other than insane rolls?
-
I think they were able to beat it through amazingly good rolls and the Magic Power of Shields(tm). Shields protect against a lot of fire, and one of them got a lucky hit early on in the thing's neck. It was just amazing that it wasn't the insta-wipe I figured was coming :)

Direct fire almost never kills a dwarf. Shields are OP.
Things get different when things on the ground start to burn. Dwarfs often will get caught in the smoke and fire. Dwarfs are strong, but not very smart ;-)
You choose your battlegrounds wisely (or you had a lot of luck :D )
