Don't reverted critters retain their trap immune status?

Mountainhomes are cold, dank, and moist. If nude, you suffer not only embarrassment but the threat of death from hypothermia, infected foot wounds, or various types of parasites which hide in the corners. Also, dwarven children laugh at those who can't even afford some pigtail clothes.

Why would they want to be nudists?

Also people who ask about the best weapons. Picks inevitably come up.

Plump helmet men are in vanilla DF.

And here I thought this was abandoned. Let's get this adventure started.

You slap the man. He pauses, hurt both physically and emotionally. "Look, miss, we need every able hand to help. A dragon attacked not too long ago, and while we drove it off the fires it set are still burning."
"And why should I help?" you ask.
Glancing around, he replies, "These wares will burn along with your customers if you don't help." That is a persuasive argument.

You help out by running empty buckets back to the Eel River, a good-sized river running through town. You are in Redbank, a town a few miles upstream from the sea. It is noted for being a place of wealth, between trades with the eelmen who give the river its name and its thriving pottery industry, as well as being the largest town within a dozen miles that isn't fortified against some foe or another. Just the target for a dragon's raids. Redbank's citizens live mainly on houseboats floating in the wide expanse of the river, but their businesses and the homes of the less fortunate will burn fine.
As you run back towards the river, a faint shadow passes overhead. You glance up and see, farther up than a human's eye could see, the dragon hiding in a cloud. You're not an expert on dragons, but it looks like it's about to dive. You may have under a minute before it attacks. You glance around, noting a forge, abandoned by its owner nearby, as well as a small hut on the riverbank and some sort of armed vessel floating in the river.
What do you do?

I still want to name the rat after the finger it bit off.
