Oh god remember those discs they used to send you? I think I still get them.

I made the most kick ass ninja stars out of those

I have a list of general folky music that I play in the background
some of the bands are:
Abney Park (steampunk/folk)
Mumford and Sons (Folk/Rock)
Voltaire (gothic/folk)
Korpiklaani (Folk Metal)
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (ska/punk)
The Dubliners (Irish Folk)
Tom Waits (Folk)
Poxy Boggards (Folk)
and some assorted other ones that I won't list

you know what would be really cool?
if, when the magic arc begins, goblin thieves steal the cadavers left on the battlefield and reanimate them so they come back in a later siege
as for kobolds stealing bodies, I've never seen it happen, but I suppose it would be a possibility.

Reg kneaded his brow as he sat in the hospital.  All the beds were empty and Steve was out hauling, leaving Reg alone to hold down the fort.  He had received word that ANOTHER goblin now haunted the halls.  Another creature to destroy and degrade dwarven tradition.  He couldn't see why Ibruk and the others allowed them to stay; Reg knew best of all the evil that were capable of.  He'd seen dwarves come back from the field, simply TORTURED, having long lost the will to live, it was a relief to them that Reg could do nothing to save them.  Countless times his brethren were struck down in cold blood by these creatures they so nobly invited under their roof. 

Reg had heard that Derm was planning an excursion to the third cavern, and he nearly volunteered to go (after all, he IS incredibly tough and strong, even if he isn't proficient with weapons), but when the kobold and goblin signed up for the task, he decided against it.  There was no way he could trust those creatures to watch his back in those dark passages.  Derm is a good, hard-working dwarf, but if those things get him injured (or, Os forbid, KILLED) there would be hell to pay! 

Reg entertained several thoughts after that, mostly to do with the torture or punishment of the land-dwellers should Derm be hurt, but also thoughts about breaking off to start a new CLEAN fort or him becoming mayor one day and ordering the things to be thrown out in the cold!  He may allow Fori to stay, simply because some of the dwarves actually enjoy her company (for what reasons, he would not be sure) and she had proven her worth to the fort, but the other green skins and little devils would go straight to the Nothing.  Sure they would be angry at him, maybe even throw him out of office, but in the end they know he was right.  After all, a dwarven fort is best left in the hands of the dwarves.

Reg jumped and dropped the scalpel he was holding when Steve put down his mug on the stone table; he was so absorbed in his thoughts he hadn't noticed Steve walk in. "oh, sorry, didn't mean to scare ya."

"S'fine, need somethin' to get the heart pumpin', ya know?" Reg said as he slapped his chest.  He then got up and began to walk for the door.

"eh! now where do you think you're going?" Steve yelled, he didn't wish to be stuck in the hospital all by himself.

"just, er..." the dwarf stroked his beard as he looked down the hallway," just going for a walk." And then he strode out the door and out of sight, leaving Steve alone.  He let out a sigh and mumbled as he looked to see if Reg had done any of the recording for the manager about recent diagnostics.

NOTE: Os is the god that Reg worships (a THUNDER god )
Also, he has now written off Fori as the lesser of two evils.  She's essentially proven her worth to the fort and he's moved his opposition to the new comers, mainly the humans and goblins (because cutebolds are so damn cute).

it would also be terribly abused, burying merchants alive and such.

similar experiments have been made
try searching "dwarven submarine", I believe

I had a siege of 45 goblins all riding jabberers, and I was prepared to lose my entire 15 dwarf army, but only three died, and two were from diving off the cliff into magma.

So I had a siege, three groups of goblins on jabberers, but I was also assaulted by these guys:
most were killed by my dwarves, they were pretty weak, but I captured some, if anyone wants me to experiment somehow.
