This is the fourth puppy found dead just in front of the entrance. The militia commander has lost three war dogs without a trace. There are no combat logs here.
WTF are you dorfs doing?

The first goblin snatcher for this fort decided to take advantage of the weakened population.
None of the war dogs had died in the forgotten beast attack.
The combat log between them and the goblin was honestly a little frightening.

I'd had a forgotten beast chilling in the cavern for about a year, and just blocked the whole deal off until a dwarf got into a mood and demanded fabric.
I guess I forgot about it or figured it had wandered off because it didn't show up in the units list, until I made an opening to gather silk. Then it showed back up like the Kool Aid man.
Its 'deadly dust' somehow turned out to be more like some sort of ice bomb. And it decided it wanted a drink out of my stockpile and the military just happened to be speedbumps along the way.
It eventually died, very slowly, after perforating both lungs and its heart, but killed three full squads and 87% of everyone else.

No further info provided in-game yet.
But clarification here, at least!
So after a year and a half or two years, all the passably agnostic dwarves had to go pay their basic respects, and the one that "personally dislikes cooperation, doesn't care about nature one way or the other (he's a ranger), finds introspection to be a waste of time, and finds trade and commerce as distasteful" had to go pray devoutly to the gods of trade, wealth, and scholarship.
Dorfs are dumb.

Ah, so showiest armor.
Which is, in general, the best armor, but Urist is going to go for that shirt someone through through a waterwheel-powered bedazzler before a proper breastplate.
Like all people dwarfy.

Not sure it counts as a bug report, since it might be my computer and something I'm missing.
But start DF on my laptop, it demands I have caps lock on. 'd' doesn't do anything without it on, and shift+d doesn't, either. Caps lock must be on. Trying to move the embark location grows it, even when holding shift, unless I have caps lock on.
Super annoying because I usually have other windows open and switching between them does weird things with it on.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparent an issue with the USB numpad. Updates and three reboots seem to have it fixed.

Dear Urists McOxen,
You are pastured in an area with plenty of grass and vegetation. Please stop starving to death.

Dear Urists McMerchants,
You were 'leaving soon,' and I got the announcement that you packed up and left... so why are you still in my depot?
There is a three-urist-wide path straight into the depot, and you had no complaints about crossing the 3-wide-1-long retractable bridge on the way in.
So either trade some more or stuff your new piles of amulets and figurines into your carts and GTFO.
Freeloaders.

Dear Elves of The Zephyr of Stokers,
  I do love the materials you bring for me to turn into cloaks for the militia. But 'head hair' from pandas and moose isn't all that valuable, especially when it appears to have reanimated on the journey.
