You probably had her set to carry around a waterskin with...ugh...water in it.

Can you set it any other way in 40d?

Anyway I don't think she had a waterskin, she didn't need one because of the layout of the tower.

"She needs alcohol to get through the working day and can't even remember the last time she had some."

The solution to cheering up seems pretty obvious. Shame about her going berserk.

Tbh She didn't have a drink even when it was readily available, everyone else drinks enough except for her! Would I of been able to force feed her Alcohol at all?

It could have been worse. Her cat could have died too.

She didn't have a cat! :p

60 days? That's nothing.

What a crybaby.

I think it was more that 3 of her closest friends & her lover died ;)

Lol, well the only people she's friends with are the other two survivors, in-fact one of them is just a long term acquaintance, most of my 163 Dwarfs are happy or ecstatic :)

@ McKee she's dead now, she was interrupted too much because some idiot dropped a chain in the doorway keeping it open, so everyone in the main hall was running away from her :(

Now, I don'y want you to get angry or anything.

But I don't have Magma.

However, Cloisteredwood has a military about 50 strong. Deploy Marksdwarfs!

Though now there's only 2 survivors of the Granite Tooth Garrison (It was originally 8 strong), 1 Military and 1 Civilian (Though both are civilians now). Will keep an eye on them.

Basically, I have a Hero Dwarf who was recently Engaged in some heavy fighting in which half of the Garrison of this Hero's tower were killed. They have been sentenced to about 60 days in prison after several disorderly conducts & building destruction (Her Cell to be precise).

The Prison walls are engraved with even a masterpiece put in there, she has a bed too! Also when she had escaped she spent some time in a statue garden with quality engravings, statues and chairs yet refuses to be cheered up:

Any Tips? This is in 40d Btw

Great, as I was typing another of her friends died & she's back into Miserable. Seeing as she's a hero dorf in the military i don't really want to end up executing her or her going mad, I recently retired her from the military because she's probably seen enough fighting for this lifetime :p

Mithril connection: Why? Why not connect adamantine instead to uses of the word adamantine in mythology? The Greek Titan Cronus castrated his father with an adamant sickle. Perseus used an adamantine sword to kill Medusa. Hell, even in modern culture there are uses of the word 'adamantine' as a substance, not just as a quality. Look at Paradise Lost, for instance.

Toady's stated before that he strongly considered calling adamantine mithril.

Mithril doesn't glow in Lord Of The Rings, it's just light as a feather & incredibly strong. Sting glows when enemies are near, afaik anyway, haven't read the books in quite a while though.

What i find interesting is that the similar thread in the mine craft forums is about the same % for people who play Minecraft & people who play Dwarf Fortress, whereas here it's all DF.
