[Malsqueek]

so just this morning I was working on the fourth vertical layer of my obsidian tower mold when a Titan decided to come and visit.

I mustered the troops at the front door, and called all the dwarves into the hole, and after 5 minutes, wondered where our friendly neighborhood titan had gone.

Looking in the Units screen, I saw he was still about, and went to his location, only to see him hot on the heels of one of my foolish suicidal brave fisherdwarves who had decided that the safe fishing pond in the middle of my tower mold was not where he wanted to fish.

Just as I found them, the Titan caught up and punched a hole right through the middle of poor Urist McFisherdwarf, before falling unconscious from overexertion.

I sent my legendary Macedwarf out to play golf with his sleeping face.

The crazy thing is, the titan has been slain for the better part of a season, has not rotted, and none of my dwarves are willing to go pick up his corpse for butchering, because apparently in death the titan is just as scary as he was before he was beaten toothless by my Champion.

Oh well, I'll have some handy titan face totems and some bone greaves to play with shortly, if he ever decides to rot.

Did the dwarf survive?

In the orders menu, check to make sure you don't have your orders set as "Ignore Outside Refuse" That's likely the culprit. (as far as bringing it to your refuse stockpile).

Hmmm, Fisherdwarves do seem to be more prone to accidents then most other dwarfs.

[Malsqueek]

Did the dwarf survive?

Oh no. He bled out from the gaping hole in his chest by the time that the Champ came over to twist the head off the Titan.

@Calhoun: I actually hadn't set the "zone only fishing" order, which meant that he could meander off to pull fish from the river if he felt so inclined. Frankly, it's worth the life of a fisherdwarf to know that if you can kite them long enough, Megabeasts get tired and have to lay down for a nap.

[Calhoun]

Ah. Normally i create a small lake inside some interior walls for my fisherdwarf, though in my current fort, the only river is an UG river that i haven't yet discovered, so i'm considering just abandoning fishing all together for the time being. I've had two close encounters with Dark Elf ambusher's. Luckily the fisherdwarf started out as a miner, so he's got level 3 agility and was able to out run them.

[Skorpion]

Titans aren't edible. Sentient.

Fisherdorfs brave death every day, just to haul in some turtle shells for their moody friends.  He probly saw the Titan and was like "sweet maybe I will get injured and not have to brave the carp pools for a while"

fisherdwarves should be praised, not as much as hunter dwarves.

Flood the world with magma and hope you can drain it out and have a nice roast titan waiting for you
