EDIT II: Not only was she among the dead, she was the first one to die. Sgt. Hailsmiths lead Privates Imush and Udil right into the Queen's Guard and she plowed through them all, leaving the maceelves and their crude bludgeoning tools to them. She sliced away an arm, both legs, and finally bisected her.

It's made all the more humiliating as she turned and tried to run as soon as she sighted Obok. Apparently The Destruction of Blindness' reputation precedes her.

Good to see that Obok is still kicking butt.  Is she also the Baroness?

I hope there's a way, too!

Do the happy thoughts from multiple mist generators stack?

an artifact [whip] requires a dwarf who likes them.

Thinking about it, I've never seen a dwarf with a preference for whips, halberds, two-handed swords, or any other foreign melee weapon, nor has any dwarf without a weapon preference made an artifact foreign melee weapon. I'm not sure about the ranged weapons -- I've had dwarves make artifact blowguns, but I don't recall if the dwarf had a preference for them.

I thought so, too, but then I remembered this thread:

I once had the Sphalerite set-up, but once my food industry really got going, I decided to just forget about syrup and store solids back into containers.  To my surprise, the syrup still gets cooked.  Not all the time, but I have a 3x3 syrup-only stockpile that periodically gets cut down by half, then refilled by the barrels still left at the farmer's workshop.  It certainly not as efficient in terms of syrup use, but it keeps things a lot tidier.  Besides, all the quarry leaves and flour already give the lavish meals a big value boost .

Or an arena where prisoners are slaughtered, with a burrow activated during the executions so that most of the fort witnesses it.

VerdantSF, you make me jealous of your dragon army.

Heheh, yeah they're a lot of fun .  I lost 61 dwarves recently, but the dragons are definitely one of the reasons I won't be hitting the "abandon" button anytime soon.

Relicshield, pop. 75, Autumn of 325 (Year 74)

The Evils of Spray returned in force, hoping to take advantage of the Mountainhome's weakened state.  The goblins were sorely disappointed.  One untrained reservist was killed in battle, but the invaders were crushed and scattered.

Meng the dragon trainer survived the loss of his left leg due to the ghost attack.  Despite hobbling on crutches, he still commands the respect of Relicshield's dragons.  All four adults are now masterfully trained.

25 forgotten beasts have thus far failed to breach the Mountainhome's defenses. The majority of them have been blasted away by dragonfire, but twice a twisted creature so horrifying arrived that the dragon hatchlings cowered in fear and refused to attack.  The hatchlings were brought back to the Dragon Den on the surface.  As expected, the adult dragons are far more aggressive, so now Slusa and Istrath guard the second cavern's entrance.

The Forgotten Beast Careme Theyiseweri has come!  An enormous beakless grouse.  It has two broad horns and it has a bloated body.  Its dark chestnut feathers are patchy.  Beware its fire!

Good thing fire-breathing Forgotten Beasts aren't immune to dragonfire .
