Re: More BarrelsDear Urist McLegendaryCarpenter,
Even though your wife is the baroness, that doesn't mean that you get to laze about all the time too. I need those goddamned barrels, and I need them now.
Sincerely,
Your Overlord
well, maybe you could slow down the plump helmet production or get the stone crafter to make some pots.
Sincerely.

Dear zeitgiest of drillmines,
Having at one point in my life, long before I was raised to my most deserved position among the nobility, been a common dwarf like yourself, I have had ample opportunity to observe these so called "unfortunate accidents" that you and others like yourself so euphamistically referr to. I have taken upon myself to never pull any strange lever in any room that has any of the following characteristics, no matter how lavishly furnished:
A mysterious sulfury smell.
Uncharacteristically warm in temperature.
Freshly carved or laid stonework, especially if it looks out of place.
A faint but lingering odor of charred flesh, blood, or vicera.
A mysterious cloying dampness.
A faint smell of mildew.
Is very distant from my bedroom or the food stockpile.
You will not be tricking me into releasing a hellish hoarde of shriveled crundles into the room with me, or into inadvertantly drowning myself, or into performing an unfortunate smelting accident.
Now kindly get to work making me a crystal glass bed and a slade armor stand to go with the crystal glass window I wanted. I intend to host some important guests soon, and I can't stand that they might discuss that wretched mayor's brass armoire instead of my far more appropriate and sublime furishings.
Perhaps the mayor would be interested in pulling that lever? He's not terribly important anyway, you petty rabble will just elect another to replace him, like always.
Luxuriously yours,
Baron of drillmines
Oh, THAT'S what I've been doing wrong. I thought 20 was good enough. But if I did 50, they wouldn't get infected.As luck would have it, 50 hammer strikes should just be enough to weed out the bad ones.
As for practically every single other Dwarf in the fort... Yep. 50. 50 is good for their health.
