First human caravan arrived at the same time as the first goblin ambush. A few feet away from each other. Only one human died and he was a (quite efficient) guard so it wasn't too awful.

In an after-battle orgy of violence (barracks were locked due to miasma) against hapless capybaras one of my militia apparently fell into a murky pond and drowned. He was only even reported missing/dead when I cut through the side of the pool (making a soggy mess out of part of my base) to bury him.

Man, I hope webs and such can't carry syndromes. Or else the act of donning a new pair of socks could spell doom for the unwary dwarf. Horrible blistery burning oozing doom.

Mr. Ious indeed.

I had one with a stoat jack and my hunter. Hunter walks around, shoots once, uphill, hits it in the head. It doesn't damage the brain, but the stoat is hurled away and hits the ground so hard it dies of that.

Bonus points for style.

Well, I am now.

It's pretty awesome but it does lead to a few minor but amusing oddities.

Like "cut clay loam". Which involves the jewellers bringing clay loam to the shop, doing nothing with it and leave it lying it around as "clay loam".  Nothing apparently happened to the clay loam but you can encrust/smear stuff with it.

I imagine it's because clay items don't have a place in the stockpile. You actually can make clay cabochon though.

Really? They didn't end up as any kind of "cut" for me. Odd.

This is a well-crafted iron shield. It is encrusted with square yellow cats' eyes and a smear of clay loam. It menaces with spikes of clay loam. No wait nevermind the clay spikes fell off.

Ahahaha.

I'm pretty sure they're meat-y. In that, I've had butchers working on a bunch of them and we ended up with meat.

Being attacked by undead causes unhappy thoughts.  You are going to have to pamper your military if they see a lot of undead action.

Oh yeah, I know. I had to draft more because otherwise it would've been too much for her. I assigned her the first room, with a bit more luxury than usual and I intend to give her better quality furniture when I have it. She also had the chance to cry on the shoulder of my expedition leader and it helped, so giving the exp. leader consoler wasn't a bad idea.
