I have training set to two minimum in a three-dwarf squad. One is storing an item in a barrel, the other two are "individual combat drill"ing.

Huh? What am I doing wrong?

That's odd, he's gone now.
And I was thinking of trying out a loyalty cascade...

But they already told you what the song is!

What to do with a drunken sailor?

Murder his boat?
I swear, if you don't get THAT reference...

By bridgeapolt, I asumme you are using goblinoid ammunition?

Nope. We're using booze inside of barrels that are going to ignite at 3 degrees higher than underground temperature.

...Wait, all underground areas are the same temperature?
Suddenly this all makes sense.

Mod the specific barrel creature's raws so that ITS tissue and its tissue alone ignite at 50 urists.

I think that'll get all the elves killed in world gen, then no more elves to blow up? 

Nope. You can set kobold body temperatures so high that they melt themselves and burn their clothes, leaving their daggers and a massive firestorm that kills herbalists and woodcutters, destroying the wood stockpile and carpenter's  shop and everything in it including the carpenter and almost all of your furniture because you decided to embark without a pick.
And leave shrubs and trees.
Yeah, I might know what I'm talking about.

If you wait till the water freezes again, then mine out the area so your dwarves have access to the area, they might be able to retrieve the pick, clothes, and skeleton.  The fact that they're still on the stocks menu shows they weren't destroyed, just made inaccessible in the same way objects pushed by water sometimes do.  If your dwarves can reach the area safely, they can reach into limbo and recover the items.

...
This is a problem.
The modded race I used for this fort only has iron and silver, so I only brought one pick.
It is, theoretucally, sitting in 7/7 water.
I...am in trouble.

It all turned into ice. No way to recover it.

Really?
A. I thought the wiki said all that happened when you got frozen was you died, and when the ice unfroze your skeleton and stuff fell to the ground where the ice melted.
B. Then why is it still listed on the stocks screen?

I froze a miner in an aquifer. (It was an accident, honest!)
The aquifer is melted now.
What happened to the pick?

According to the stocks menu, both pick and skeleton are still in the aquifer, along with (I think) Mr. Miner's clothes. But...When I zoom to them or 'k' manually, nothing is there except the muddy loamy sand upward slope, 7/7 water, and a dusting of mud.
What happened to the miner and his stuff?
