Spears don't work great against really hard material.

So far, I've done well with a fairly even mix of spears, axes, and hammers. Not counting the crossbow squad.

Dear Urist McMasonbrain,

Alright, I could have forgiven you for walling yourself on the cavern side of the protective wall. But, please, knock on the wall a few times to let someone know you're out there.

The appropriate response is not to finish the wall, find you're locked out, and decide to go sprinting off to the far corner of the known caverns, where my usual post-fortifying check doesn't catch you until you starve to death.

At the very least, you could have kept your eyes open and sprinted into the unknown caverns, you useless jackass.

Dear Urists McMilitary,
I had time to compose a letter to 'Beardpain' the troll while you were beating on him.
You are still beating on him.
Seriously, injuries that you guys have caused have healed. While you are attacking him.
For Armok's sake, he's unconscious on a ledge. There are three of you. Someone shove him off into the water, or grab a rock or something.
-The overseer, who could pump magma up to deal with him faster than you guys are.

I nearly fell off my chair laughing at this.
Oh, and quoted for the sigtext thread.

Seriously, this happened. Yellow injuries turned brown, and blue injuries turned yellow. He even healed a blue lung and eye.



Dear traders,

No, I'm not taking your explanation of 'hood snake venom' at face value.
How long is the trip that you end up with an entire wagon of barrels full of it?

-The overseer, suddenly feeling in need of a bath.

Not VG Cats. Three Panel Soul comes to mind. Loved that DF style there.

My first thought: pipes made from minotaur horns. Most dwarfy way to smoke.

Dear Kalanenir Usithbembul, cave crocodile,

However much it pains me, you do deserve some respect in downing no less than a dozen of my dwarves. Considering that one of them seems to have removed all of your teeth with a copper hammer, no less than six of those were from, apparently, shoving them around. (Seriously, there's pages of 'the croc pushes Urist McIdiot in the chest')

Especially worthy, considering the bronze bolt lodged in your face.

I'll notice you quit when you picked on your first minor, though. You pushed him in the thigh, mildly bruising it, and he told you to kindly go piss off via a pick delivered directly to the heart.

Learn to pick your targets better.


Dear Duradzulash, troll,

You are the reason the cave croc killed so many--because the military's been beating on your unconscious form for months now, letting him run a rampage.

Seriously, just die.

Before you go, I do want to congratulate you on the indirectly but aptly chosen moniker, 'Beardpain'. Good job.

...You'll go ballistic when you check your starting 7. All of them like working outdoors.

This is why they weren't allowed to stay at the mountainhome.

Seriously? A bunch of probably drunk dwarven merchants give you some liquid for free, and you all think it's something divine?

Yeah, I'm sort of betting it's because they were on a deadline and didn't want to stop the cart.

I've had a couple dwarves heal (I think...) from a broken lower spine.

They could have just been great crutch walkers and moved onto using their -Iron Boots- as maces, or it could be that a broken spine doesn't always mean that the motor nerve gets damaged, and they got lucky.
