...I've just had my first halfling caravan, and the second/third dwarf caravan. Both of which make it inside the depot with no problems, no attacks, not even a kobold sneaking in. I receive no announcments of significant events. When I go to view the depot to see if the traders are ready to trade their useful booze and such, I find that "there are no merchants trading right now". To the best of my knowledge at this time, neither the halflings or the dwarves are at war with each other. No one seems to have attacked anyone. So why are they packing up and leaving right after they arrive, with no gains to them?

If any merchant happens to die, the entire caravan will refuse to trade.

..that seems to have been the case, as I've just found the rotting remains of 2 traders and their goods outside my fort entrance. Annoying though. Wonder what killed them? Aren't any orcs around at the moment, kobolds are no threat, and none of the wild animals or fire imps are named..

It was probably a wild animal... they don't get names necessarily when they kill a random merchant, they may need a few more kills... and the animals in question may have been slaughtered by the caravan guards, in any case.

You might want to set out some cage traps for wild animals.
