During the starting of my new fort, I accidentally both of my miners and their picks into the bottom of the volcano.

Welp.

Welp.

How did you manage that???

[Kyphie]

I accidentally both of my miners and their picks

During maybe my second fort I was finally starting to feel comfortable with the interface and tried my very first aesthetic construction, a drawbridge over a moat that was several Z levels down.

Both miners simultaneously trigger collapses on either side from standing on their last tiles, trapping their gear and corpses in the already sealed chamber.

Very first dwarven deaths, and an important lesson about working top-down learned.

"Urist McSmith, Armorer, has been possessed!"

Ok, not exactly a facepalm moment, more like "I hate you, Armok" thing, because so far I had 9 strange moods in my latest fortress. 7 of them were possessions.

[Gr33kjester]

In 31.17, my LEGENDARY carpenter decided to have ANOTHER fey mood
Anyway, the guy DEMANDED cut gems, sapphire I think, yet I cut ALL MY F*CKING SAPPHIRE AND ENCRUSTED IT!!!!

He visited your dwarves 7 times to help you change your attitude to him but nooo, you still hate him.

Next one is going to be possession too

Why a posession? Why not a goblin siege or two dozen?

A llama just kicked a weaponsmith and killed her.
Wait, this is not the entire story.
A llama kicked a weaponsmith into the goddamn river, breaking one of her leg. She wasn't even stunned or anything, and there was a ramp 2 tiles away, but she still drowned.
It's been a long time I haven't dealt with friggin' llamas. *facepalm*

My expedition leader likes cave fish men... for ther beauty?

Eye of the beholder, I guess.

Is your fort called Innsmouth by any chance?

Weirdly enough, early in the fortress's life, a small group of snail men wandered by and left without incident. It was the first time I've ever seen an [animal]-man race without breaching the caverns first.

I've seen many snail men and slug men. I've yet to find tiger men in fortress mode.

[celem]

Yeah i've seen snail, slug and tigermen in various spots.

My contribution to the fail parade.

Spent 3 hours setting up a trio of GCS to web across a line of cage traps for capturing FB's entering from the caverns.

Another 2 hours waiting for an FB.

Finally, he has come.  Giddy with anticipation I watch as he bee-lines for the cage corridor.
My expedition leader steps from behind a nearby rock pillar and sticks a masterwork dog bone bolt through his brain....I curse....apparently he's 'hunting'.

On the upside I now have a stack of 340 FB meat
