But confused.

"(Dwarf Name) Has been struck down by (Name), an STD!"

Assuming you have adamantine.

Around the single lever is 20+ separate traps, pits, gates holding back water, and  break away spots; directly next to the lever. I can sum it up in this entry:

"One lever...
I stood there... Cowering...
I was swallowed by the oppressive shadow of instant death,
Doom surrounded me, I could see it.
Facing me was the glinting doom of edged blades,
The trembling ground of a fall pit,
the rumble of flowing, watery wrath.

One lever.
I stood many a moments living my life, deciding what this one lever would do.
Long in that darkness I contemplated.
One lever.

I pulled it, trembling, unable to see nor breath, I felt my death.
NO! I CANNOT END MY LIFE WITH THE CURIOSITY OF A SINGLE LEVER!
But I stood there, long and cold, dead, dead, I was dead.

I was alive. My body hot with the flow of blood, warming from the cold of death, with sweat flowing over my entire body. Not but a single door had moved. The blades still glinted, the floor still shook, and the water still roared.
One door had opened.

A door.

A DOOR! Gold was gleaming within!"

^^ Diaper change

Have the lever instead open a treasure room.

Now that is what I call psychological mayhem.

Keep up the work cap'n!

You, sir, have created a masterpiece of literature. One needs not even know about Dwarf Fortress to find it humorous!

Keep up the GREAT work.
