Elves bringing me corpses!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Samus1111111:
On my fortress I have alright relations with the elves (until I finish my magma death trap) and their caravan had just arrived at the depo. I decided to just take all of their stuff instead of trading for it because the trap was almost done (and my millitary was getting bored, so I hoped for elven ambushes). Well, I am in the proccess of building a ton of cage traps and need cages, but my carpenters are lazy and don't build them quickly. So I'm selecting all the cages to take and am looking for the animals that the elves always bring, but don't see any. I then look at the cage's weight and most are around 56 pounds, but there are three that weigh over 500 pounds, so I looked and inside one was a stray donkey corpse. I'm like WTF!!!! and look at the other two and inside are stray deer and cow corpses. What is going on, are the elves using their psychic powers and anticipating my annihilation of their next merchant carravan????

No, no, no, no... no... they most likely just went through some rough enviroment to your fort (scorching, freezing, etc) causing thier animals to die
Samus1111111:
nope, I have temperate weather and nothing attacked them that could have done that

I say next time they arrive, bridgeapult those corpses while they're on fire at them.
Teach them (if they somehow live it, THEN the trap) not to sell corpses.

no, as they travel through the world map they pass through different areas outside your fort which can cause troubles like this when they decide to take a different route
(actually traveling through the world)
