what if my dwarf with the best armor and weapon was just taken out of the army, gets in a fey mood, and goes insane and starts killing people? could something like that happen?

just something im wondering about

[HungryHobo]

this is why all my workshops are in rooms which can be sealed.
failing that putting a pack of wardogs on escort will deal with most problems.

[Deathworks]

Hi!

My personal advice are traps, they are far more reliable.

The fey mood will give you an announcement. Keep track of that dwarf and once he stops leaving the workshop but is not working on something, q the workshop to find out what the dwarf needs. By then you should be able to tell whether the mood will fail or not.

If you know it is going to fail, make sure there is just one exit to the workshop.

Place a weapon trap with ten menacing spikes or battle axes or other proper weapons you may have lying around into the tile the dwarf has to cross.

Prepare his tomb.

trap will attack your dwarf if he failed the mod?
in this case you could just cage him no?

[DwarfMan69]

Yeah, you could cage him.

[ductape]

yes! then put him on display in the dining hall so dorfs can throw their food scraps at him!

[Boatmurderer]

That would make it tough to eat your elk and minced unicorn roast having a Dwarf in a cage screaming violently and thrashing around with no pants on.

[FellMoodFox]

Heck, that sounds like a typical dwarf dining room, sans the cage 
--[edit] whoop, sorry for the post necromancy

That would make it tough to eat your elk and minced unicorn roast having a Dwarf in a cage screaming violently and thrashing around with no pants on.

That's actually really Orky.

[jellyman]

And if the cage has been encrusted with 38 different types of gems first.  Thats you legendary dining room...

[FellMoodFox]

Well, I mostly meant the "Dwarf screaming violently and thrashing around with no pants on. "... >.> then again, I can make a dozen pants and maybe one pair gets picked up despite half the fort having had all theirs rot off....

[Neoskel]

Well, if your best military dwarf is a champion he won't do any civvy work.

[Alabaster]

Place a weapon trap with ten menacing spikes or battle axes or other proper weapons you may have lying around into the tile the dwarf has to cross.

Prepare his tomb.

Same here, as soon as I see him muttering "skin... jellybeans.." or whatever I'm lacking  I post a squad outside the room and assign a coffin in the catacombs.

[Boatmurderer]

I can't remember ever hearing about a fortress where one ultra-legendary dwarf goes on a rampage and starts murdering the hell out of everybody in the fortress while on fire.
Oh yeah...

Psst... SPOILER if you had not read Boatmurdered yet. That link goes directly to

the end of the fiery doom spiral.

I like using doors to keep any unexpected accidental flooding of the fortress in check.
The more doors the less area go underwater which generally means more survivors. 

Though I'm kinda getting away from the habit of flooding my fortress several times a fort so I might change at least some key ones to cage traps (if just to catch those fey mooders demanding whatever I don't have).
