This is a little odd.
I'm being besieged and so I gave the "soldiers can go outside" order to make my civilians run indoors. Knowing that dwarves can be a little headstrong sometimes, I checked to make sure everyone really went indoors, and what do you know, they hadn't. Two dwarves were casually hanging out by the brook, unconcerned by the vile force of darkness approaching them. What the hell are you doing, I as[k]ed them, and turns out they're "conduct[ing a] meeting".
One of them is my expedition leader, and the allknowing wiki told me that sometimes dwarves come to the expedition leader to whine voice their concerns. However, the leaderdwarf has a perfectly great office for that kind of thing. So I do what I always do when my dwarves disobey, I [A]ctivate them and station their squad somewhere. Only this time, even that didn't help. The two emotional dwarves are sitting out there all alone by the picturesque brook talking about their feelings and their hopes while an infernal army of darkness approaches in the background. Now I've always liked dwarves for their stolidness, but Mister Leaderdwarf is a Legendary Recordkeeper and I'd much rather have him stay alive. Anything I can do?
