How do you stop it? I have an underground pool, with various critters in there. From what I can see, I haven't breached it

The nearest hall I have to the pool is 2 tiles thick.

[Sowelu]

How do you stop...what?  What's the problem exactly?

[MrWiggles]

The enemy spawning pass walls.

[Smew]

The enemies don't 'spawn'.
What can happen though, is directly after breaching the water flow can push the cave critters through any kind of grates or fortifications you place in order to stop them from doing so.
After killing everything in the pool nothing else will come of it but vermin.

[MrWiggles]

I am almost certain its not breached though.

[Enzo]

Well, if you can see anything besides wet stone you breached it?

[Albedo]

k's right - if you can see the pool itself, if you can see the critters in the pool, then you've breached it.

That, or it has a natural exit to the surface - that can happen too.

Find the hole, and plug it with at least a door, then <q, f>orbid it until you're ready to play.

[Shoku]

Do be aware that river creatures will pop up out of the water onto the z level above if there's open ground and there's any kind of target for them to path to nearby.

[MrWiggles]

Aw, I found the hole, it was covered up by an up/down stairs. But it might be all for now, a goblin ambush lived up to its named and caught my quite by surprise. Killing a 1/3 of my population until my legenday miners got up there (from the bottom Z level) and murdered them all.

So freaken Cool. He kept dodging the crossbower bolts and fought three of the goblins at once. They were all getting pretty friendly, so I'm expecting a tantrum soon.
