Elf Killing
« on: September 10, 2009, 01:49:33 am »

So, say I wanted to kill every elf trader that walks onto my map. How would I go about doing this?
Also, I have no magma.  ;)

Make the trade depot in an enclosed room which can double as drowning room.

They need to breathe too.

1) drown them
2) drop the bridge out from under them over a 10 z-level drop
3) auto-repeating spikes
4) Ballista
5) lock them in until they go crazy
6) drop them into the arena with a megabeast or some fully armed gobbos
7) drop the roof on them

etc. etc.

There isn't really a wrong way to kill elves.

I vote spikes around the trade depot.

Yes, doing all of this in sequence is the proper way to kill elves.  Make sure the death chamber is outside so dwarfs will vomit on the corpses when they come to collect the leftover goods for melting.
