100's of feet away from my fort, a dwarven baby is just lying on the floor...and then it spots a goblin ambush.....what the heck was it doing there?

If the parents are dead, babies will wander miserably. Maybe he/she is the result of a failed goblin snatching somehow?

Nice alert system anyway...

They should be able to be adopted by wolves or cats or something.

Like the myths? Say, that sounds pretty good.

Well, thats an idea for Bloat #576,213. I'm sure Toady will be right on it. ;)

Once had a peasant who was hauling rocks out of my "water reclamation room", and got scared of the "dangerous terrain" due to the incoming water.  Drops baby, runs away (I imagine this as her screaming, "No, no, take little Bobby McUrist, but spare me!").

Notice poor baby floating along in 4/7 water, dehydrated.  Locate the mom, she's happily hauling rocks out of the dining room, entirely unconcerned that her progeny is dying agonizingly slowly three z-levels beneath.  The baby's wailing is probably audible through the well shafts.

Some maternal instinct.

Also, you can manufacture vomit at a smelter.  Subsequently removing the smelter spews vomit over a surprising area.

I actually had a baby get injured, because her mother was a wrestler. So, kobold hurts the arm of the light child. What happens? Child goes loses consciousness(Mother had dropped her) and gets PASTED by my weapon trap.

Dutifully, the mother loses her fucking mind as her baby is hauled off to the tombs. Took down two dwarves before my champion cut her in half and sent her upper body flying against my dining room wall.

My champion was bummed by cutting her friend in half. But then she saw the dining room, and everything was better again.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.
