Lock him in a room covered in traps until he falls asleep.  For added bonus, fill it with cage traps and then dump him into some magma.

This, but I'd lock him in a room filled with really low-powered weapon traps.

Open up the ceiling so food and drink can be dropped in.

I imagine the scenario like this:

"Why am I in this room?  By Armok, it's boring.  Nothing to do.  May as well take a nap...OW!  %#$%!  What was that?"

Time passes.  "Getting sleepy again.  Going to get some shut-eye....$^#&, my arm!  Oh look, some food."  Munching.  "Now to get a good night's rest..."

Etc.

Bonus points is that if any of the traps jammed, I do believe that the peasant would helpfully clean them.  If they're nice traps that he can admire, he might stay alive, a long, long, long, long time.

Unfortunately you can only get iron whips, because only humans can make them. Kill a lot of lashers.

Goblins make them too.  Not that that helps, since they're still iron, but still.

It's dark purple. In my mind I see it as being almost black, except when the light hits it

As far as I am aware, most things are black until light hits them. xD

Could you mod-in the ability to forge whips yourself without needing a fresh gen?

The idea of flogging a dwarf to death with a plethora of traps, each holding a single silver whip, is rather appealing to me.

Plus I'd rather like to imagine the goblin prisoners' reaction to being caged up inside the special armory built exclusively to house the dozens of silver whips awaiting use. "An entire fortress of kinky dwarves!" one will be heard exclaiming.

Sure, just add them to the dwarves entity listing. Can't remember if changes there take effect immediately or not, though.

He just survived his first year of training and basic patrol, so I'll try to get the story started soon. Might do it today at lunch.

Changes to what can be forged don't seem to take effect until next gen, I just discovered.

On the other hand, if it's something you can already make and you add [CAN_STONE] to it, that does seem to take effect immediately.

Does anyone know if a soldier that is undrafted while on-duty, left as a civillian for a while, and then redrafted and put on duty will count the time as a civillian as off-duty? Or will he still get mad from so much 'continuous' time on patrol?

I ask because I don't want the guy to train up too much since he has to redeem himself, not become a champion from training. But I don't want him going insane from long patrol duty either.

All right, I've started the story over here. Just setting up the story at this point, but hopefully it's a good start.

I'll see about posting another update sometime over the weekend.

I'm interested to see how it goes.

Though I really, really like Magua's suggestion.

Do the elves make wood hammers?
