Try to send someone to catch the eyeless viper, alive if possible.
Make stone furniture for the Sublieutenant.
Have someone make ten units of bedding.
Mine the coal! Take torches, if needed. (Can't wait to see what this does...)
Make five more beds.
Have the smith refine coal.

That should be everything.

this and chop some wood from the surface.

Have the axedwarves do that, the swordsdwarf chase the eyeless viper and catch it ALIVE, and the other two military dwarves stand guard. Adds up?

Aye!

so that thats one les thing we can screw up. thats why. as to how to make it flying, cant bridges hold up things? if not, just use a support.

Use a support and keep trolls and tantrumers away.

Could always convert a normal mountaintop into a flying fortress. Build in the first few Z layers and then mine out a layer or two under it. Could even have a hollow support with stairs in the middle to access the mines below.

Sounds like a plan!

My four year old fort just got an actual 'must be a miracle' relic.  A woodworker, Zeck, went fey during a meal in the dining room, must have left his partially-consumed dwarven wheatbread toast at the table.  Zeck made it down to the carpentry workshop OK but then two squads of kobold kidnappers were revealed already inside the fortress and started to raid before he'd finished preparing his tools.

I care more about artifacts then kids, so I left the dayroom open to keep the raiders out of the depths.  Zeck's second daughter and another kid got snatched before the squads started to run.  I kept the militia after them, then saw three events I've been hoping for -

Ahrnis Elliss, coarse goods weaver, has started to pray.
Jonlossoss-otas, a partially-consumed dwarven wheatbread toast, has begun to glow.
It must be a miracle!

Zeck's wife, of course.  And she was only 3 squares from the toast when she decided to pray.  An axedwarf had severed a kobold's arm at just the right moment to free the daughter when Mom started to pray, and both Mom and kid have the pious and deeply pessimistic traits.

'Must be a miracle' then.  I got a perfectly polished crenulated board from the mood and half a meal that glows and goes a long way towards filling my religious icons requirement to become the Mountainhome.  Unfortunately Ahrnis worships a female trout of poetry and a male dwarf of the wind, stars, rain, and storms so its not like there's going to be any useful miracles or anything, but maybe I'll be able to occasionally gather up rains of fish or something.

Oh, I remember when that happened in my fort.
Right in the middle of battle, my Commander stops fighting, starts praying and her axe starts to glow. Fuck, it's an artifact carbon axe, I thought. Suddenly, I get the text: [Artifact Carbon Axe] has turned into a relic! It must be a miracle! As she worships the God of War, the moment she starts swinging the axe, a duplicate of her appears, which disappears a few days after. So, now I have about 100 of the Legendary Axedwarves running around, all training others... Have I mentioned they don't need food?

Test what happens when the clones get limbs severed! Or what happens when the wielder of the axe is carrying someone when they activate it. Find a female axedwarf and kick her infant out of the nursery or something.

Guess what? It duplicates everything, but when it is severed from the clone, it gets destroyed... Too bad. The original is marked by her being the only one with the Relic Axe, the rest just has the artifact Carbon. There's nothing stopping me from taking the axe as adventurer and start conquering...

Yeah, aside from single-handedly conquering all the hells, there's not a lot else she could do.

...Huh?

Could they drill through stone, or more than 10 feet?

And again, unless digging into a fluid do those have any use?

Imagine a hippogrif, but with person parts replacing the horse parts.

Then draw it, because I don't think I could draw a good one.
