Have the unicorns execute him by running him through with their horns. We don't have any conversation or royal demeanor abilities to allow us to intimidate or bluff him (we'd probably need foreign intelligence too to do so properly anyway) and offering him money probably means an accountancy check. Let's go for the murder here. Surrendering probably just speeds up our own murder.

EDIT: Okay, I had completely forgotten what was going on with Ixion, and I think offering them money might be useful to discover what's really going on with Ixion (if it's actually theirs for a good reason). Their reactions could tell us a lot. What do you guys think? For now, I'm keeping my vote for the unicorn mudersquad.

I think it's worth pointing out that your dwarves can kill ghosts. I suggest putting the weretapir (the only known instance of a tapir escaping it's containment resulted in it tearing off an arm as far as I know) and the vampire into a squad of their own and having them train.

Believe me, my laptop, which lags when dealing with GIFs, can handle world generation, at least if I make a pocket world. It even runs the full arena with 200 creatures fighting all at once, so you should definitely be capable of having a 1x1 format fort in a pocket world. Just avoid the more ambitious megaprojects (stuff with lots of fluids) and you should be fine.

Congrats! I'm thinking of studying electrical engineering next year, in fact.

Or a magma-propelled aircraft or spacecraft.

Ok, so if we add an extra six months to the deadline, could you create an amphibious magma-propelled ATV? Preferably one with a ramjet attached.

You do realize that ramjets can only be used in very, very fast aircraft, right?
They don't use mechanical components. Because at the speeds ramjets are well-suited for, mechanical components are another liability.

OK, done with the engineering complaint.
How do you make something that runs on MAGMA? Not in DF, of course. In DF, everything runs on either water power, magma power, or beard/alchohol power. The last two are pretty much the same thing.

Simple, you fill a tank with magma after coating the insides of the tank with thermoelectric materials.

PTW. Also, more evolved? Seriously?

The exciting new version of this total dwarfshit is that dwarves are now falling through a solid wall and ceiling into the mote that's supposed to keep them from jumping to their deaths.  This isn't even the part with fortifications, they are literally just falling through solid matter into a drowny death.  FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

How the fuck do you jump through a ceiling? You can't even jump up in DF.
