We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

They decided to pop by alot sooner than I thought they would. And fucked up one of the militia dorfs because of it. Honestly, how Stova is even alive is beyond me.

I'm guessing it's because, as Talvi said, the thief was just trying to get away and not actively trying to off Stova. If it was, Stova'd be in about four pieces right about now.

I was more wondering how it didn't flat out yank off her limb when it bit to escape.

Luck, I'm guessing. It only bit a few times, right?

You'd think once would be enough, since it was able to completly remove heads in the past.

It probably got a bad attack roll. Trust me, those mofos can amputate extremities through iron gauntlets even with just their base skills.

How the fuck!?
Aw come on. This ruins everything. D:<
There will be no reclaim. This fort died like a bitch sobbing in the corner.
And is there a reason you left the bridge extended?

I did... but three of them got in.  :( our militia barely managed to survive that, and there's still a ton of them hanging around outside.

We survived, though.

If they survived, let the freaks mill around outside. They'll get bored eventually. Frog, we really should have thought to not let them ambush...

That's what I plan on doing... My turn is almost up, btw.  Oh, and you should see the carnage... There's severed limbs and teeth absolutely everywhere.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Wood's too slow -- use magma forges instead.

Also, I couldn't find any way to stop them ambushing. There is an easy way to detect them, however -- search the "What's Going On In Your Fort?" thread for the "F.R.O.G.".

EDIT: How's our military doing?
