Ulrik Thunderfist waited. The lamps above him blinked and flickered out of the air. There
were demons in the fortress. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His
warnings to the Hammerer were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late
for now, anyway.
Ulrik was a marksdwarf for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the
warriors and he said to dad "I want to be on the fortifications daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in
the underground fortress of the dwarves he knew there were demons.
"This is Rakust" the message crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So Ulrik gotted his corssbow and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the spirit of fire and he fired the fireball. John
bolted at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were
trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The message said "No, Ulrik. You are the demons"
And then Ulrik was a goblin.

Try grates.

I've been considering the viability of a trapped entrance corridor, with the floor covered in hatches linked to a single lever. When nasties enter, wait for them to all come inside, then throw the switch. A pit below the corridor could contain a variety of deadlies, including water or magma.

For added fun, make the pit a chute leading to the side of a tall cliff or chasm.  :p

How effective would a setup like this be?

Took me a while to pick it, but it was irregardless -> regardless.
