How the hell did you survive that?

Dear Horse:
Upon putting my head back on, I found you in the deceased list. I must have missed the announcement of your death, but I can assure you that you'll be missed. And tasty.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

It doesn't mention the being struck down bit. Consider Brain damage + knocked out = dead.

Anything that causes more than a bruise of brain damage is pretty much an insta-kill.

It's not uncommon to see opponents be 'struck unconscious' by a hit, but be dead. That's because they fall unconscious because of their lack of a working brain and die a single frame later.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Someone, get the bug zapper! What do you mean that won't work on a bug the size of a house which glows? No, I don't want to hear it. Just get the damn zapper.

Dear Urist McHaulers

If you had just picked up the bodies and dumped them in the magma like I told you to, this would all have been fine.  But no, you had to have a party or drink or whatever it was you were doing, and they reanimated and attacked soldiers from behind.  How could 50 of you not keep up with the body-count of two dwarves?  With the experienced soldiers cut off, you haulers and the recruits were easy pickings for the other reanimated corpses.  I hope that party was worth it. 

Sincerely,
Overseer Killjoy

Dear Urist McMason

This is not minecraft. OF COURSE you will be unable to build the wall while standing on the same tile it is to be built upon; that's how our modicum of physics works! Don't use your lack of grasp of the concept of solidity to excuse your laziness and "suspend" the construction of the wall. Most importantly, you should really learn from your mistakes and not make the exact same stupid mistake three times in a row!

If you were not one of the five useful dwarves I had, you would quickly find yourself the victim of an unfortunate accident involving honey bees, that volcano shaft we've built the fort around, and a few of those Armok-damned monkeys that nicked our sandals.

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

Him to have used something other than the raw adamantine.  Why they always have to grab the craft workshop dedicated to strand extraction, even when it's sitting right above the magma sea, I'll never know.

I'll have to remember to forbid raw adamantine in the future when they want rocks.

That dwarf was very lucky I'm not in the habit of doing anything permanent to dwarfs that annoy me.

Dear Aseaheru the Armydorf

While I understand Missing means dead and no-one saw it but your killer, I would appreciate it if you'd left your equipment or a note or something somewhere. Masterwork armor is expensive damn it!
