a flying nematode with poisonous gas showed up. it immediately got put down by my marksdwarves without a single injury.
I stick to the outer 'cracks', the ones that are completely safe to mine. If there's a level with only a 4x4 area blacked out, that fixes the location of the potential hollow for that level and gives me a few more safe tiles if the unrevealed tiles on the level above or below don't overlap that one 4x4 too much.
. A few candy weapons would be nice.
Just don't send them with maces, they'll take forever to clobber anything to death.
My new militia commander, Goden, a siege operator with macedwarf experience before he migrated, attacked with a sword wielding recruit. Osel flew out of reach until the recruit managed to cut open one of his wings, and then he stayed on the ground. Goden and the recruit then proceeded to destroy Osel while he just kept breathing his worthless gas. After a while a recruit with a spear joined in, and helped reduce the forgotten beast to a bloody pulp.
However, with an uninjured arm it grabbed the hammer dwarf in a wrestling hold and broke his ankle. The minotaur passed out from pain shortly after and was pounded into oblivion.
The wounded dwarf was carried into the newly designated hospital and treated rapidly and effectively. A clean break and it was sutured and splinted without further incident. (And the dwarf was walking without a crutch by the end of the season.)
!So, mountainhome and Queen, I leave you with this regard:
Do not return to Goldsquash. It is haunted. And if I can get my corpse into the river and float it anywhere near the mountainhome, I will personally come to haunt you until the end of your days, my ever wise and loving queen.
-Erush Egdothgeshud, leader of Goldsquash, soon to be sacraficed to Armok's bloody grace.
Edem is an axedwarf too! (I had combat skills not showing when I checked him!) This could be a duel, or just the quick loss of a decent axedwarf. Edem and the scorpion stalemate a bit, with Edem getting knocked around a bit. Then boom! He gets a shot in! Yes! But wait. He's using a pick. Oh man, uniform conflict! And he's not wearing armor!
But his training held true, and with some parrying, a lucky snag in the cloak, and fancy footwork, he finally got in a lovely shot to the cephalothorax, puncturing the heart, and then another to scratch the brain for the kill.
