I recently watched the LotR movies again and yelled at the screen when Legolas beat Gimli in a drinking contest.
That was a win? I'm sure Legolas only had one drink.

Incidentally, is anyone bringing food & water to him?

Three words.

Giant, glass, and dome.

Extra points if you can make it work as a snowglobe.

Some of them are quite delicious.

I once had a roast that was made of cow cheese, beef, and bloated tubers (potatoes).


Steak and potatoes topped with cheese!   :D
That reminds me, are turkeys in DF?

maybe he was being really smart, like fill said artifact barrel with fire imp tallow, push down hill towards attackers and you have a bomb that is reuasble and doesn't destroy the container?  Also you could go Donkey Kong and then it's a weapon.
There we go. All you need is a war gorilla.

In my most recent fortress, I've had the best series of artifacts I've ever had - but please bear in mind that I'm a utilitarian. Vast amounts of metals and plentiful coal and lava and an underground river and a bottomless pit and sand, emphasis on the metals, so I've got like 15 metalsmiths going a dozen years in.

First smith's arti: Arti Adamantine warhammer. Second: Arti Adamantine spear. Third: Arti Adamantine short sword. Fourth: Arti Adamantine mace. Fifth: Arti Adamantine barrel.

I put #5 to death immediately. He broke my streak!

Hey, what? He makes you ARTIFACT barrel so you can keep all those weapons in it and you kill him?

Awwwz, how sad.
I don't think you can put weapons in barrels.

Booze, however...

Squads: The Paddles of Love, the Towns of Sound, and the Fenced Liberation.
I think I've got one called The Walled Liberation. Something must be going on there.

You're missing a couple there.  Mostly that one about the jewels.
Silmarillion? Not just the jewels, the history of the motherfucking world.
But mostly the jewels. The most beautiful, radiant, perfect jewels in the history of ever and all time.
And what were the odds of getting three matching artifact jewels?

You realize that most people think that Drizzt Daermon Nashezbaernon (apostrophe salting omitted) would be a good magma-death candidate, unlike our erstwhile king?
Eh, at least drow know to live underground.

I tend to clump related jobs together - if I've got someone who's good at weaponsmithing, for example, I'll give them all the smithing/metalworking labours.

two fisherdwarfs.

Unless unskilled, I see no reason why there'd be TWO.
One to be eaten by carp, and one to be eaten by carp.

If you have the "Right at embark" save, it might be interesting to see if you can catch all seven in the catastrophe, and exactly how long it takes.
I'm surprised it's taken me this long to see someone suggest savescumming to make an accident worse.

The first few time I played DF, I tried to avoid letting any dwarves die.

That lasted up until some idiot tried to hunt goblins.

Vertical bars, maybe? I've been using them to stop caravans coming along my brook, but I don't know if it's possible to see through them.

As a side note, apparently salt water is drinkable via well, just not by any other way.
