I have a bit of a problem with my woodcutter, or should i say former woodcutter?
He had an argument with a tiger and is now bedridden with a mangled upper body. But he refuses to let go of my only axe! And i have no wood to make another one.

I can see two solutions, neither very pretty.

1. lock the door and let the peasant starve to death.
   
2. hope a caravan guard with an axe gets killed by the elephants.

Now, i feel number one is a bit drastic and number two too dependent on chance. Does anyone see a way out of my dilemma?

Have you tried just turn off woodcutting in his job list?

If that doesn't work than you might as well let him starve, he's not likely to recover anyway.

Monster! That dwarf gave his all for your fortress, and now you want to let him die him because he's no longer useful? Good god, man - haven't you read Animal Farm?!

[puke]

maybe you should make him a miner or something, so he tries to drop the axe in favor of a pick.  or make him a wrestler, so he drops the axe in favor of nothing.

Yes, woodcutting is off and he is set to unarmed.

@yeahjim
No, I don't want him dead. but I need him to return that axe,
which I may add is community property.

[puke]

set to unarmed, but is his squad activated?

[otherdwarf]

I have now tried everything for a year.
Drafting, setting all jobs off,
all jobs off except mining.
He still won't drop the axe.

Unfortunately the caravan guards did not
decide to attack the elephants.
So i believe this is the end for poor Ral Nerèrith,
no food can be spared for thieves during winter.

And no, I haven't read Animal farm.
Perhaps it is time I did.
