Think of a brim for the hat. Tell the man you will give him a yam for directions to a temple or tavern.
A temple can get you information likely for free and in a likely less shady environment.

Tavern can also provide information as part of idle chatter, at the risk of more devious characters. 

This is a tale of epic proportions.
I plan to have this fortress in my emergency DM book. Given that it would be used to give people an impression of the game, in figured this would be an excellent example of the potential of dwarf fortress.

I just can't decide whether to mix the tale of Archcrystal with the tale of Cacame for the convince of the players. As the immortal elf king of the dwarves would be a fitting ruler for a fortress as ancient as this one. Main concern I have is the giant tower of Cacame over shadowing the glass tower to the dark mysterious pit.

Yes, this is normal.

When I first played, it took me nearly a year to figure out how to dig.
The fort in question didn't last much longer, due to a were-monitor attack.

Use a poll to decide action.

Try to recall what money is. Head to temple to get basic information of how things are outside your elf village.

Also.
I've gotten near my wits end with my mega project. The walls where easy to make when compared to doing flooring for the top layer.

Sooo much soap... so much.

Just wait until you get a human lord consort that walks at least SIX times slower than a dwarf and wants to help with a megaproject.

He ended up sacrificed to the gods.

Around half of my fort is made up of guests that became citizens. I ended up turning most of them into cannon fodder used to purge the freeloading guests.
Random slaughter caused a loyalty cascade that resulted in the deaths of my best metalworkers, most of my elite surface guard, and most of my crossbow dwarves.
12 of them were killed by the 16 year old Hammerlord named "The Somber Lessons of Virginity".

11 years of toil of nearly 180 humanoids has been unable to complete my monument. I hope I can finish it soon so I can start a cool challenge fort I thought of.

What is the Piledriver? Did you make a platinum rain gun to send letters to santa?
