I'll always have my last soldier from the first fort I breached HFS in in 40d.  The only clown to come out was the clown leader, and he chewed through my entire military except some dick who was on break while everyone was being murdered and a good chunk of my civilians before two dwarves on opposite ends of the tunnel managed to close it off.  During an attempt to reclaim that portion of the cave, I accidentally released him again, and he went on a rampage across the countryside, killing all the wild animals.  I knew that soon, he would come for me too.  I gathered the last of my defenses, the lazy wrestler and the last member of the fortress guard, and prepared whatever I could, stonefall traps mainly.  Then he came to a hillside across from my fort's door, dress of a young lady dwarf held in his hand for some reason, so I told the two remaining warriors, "Get 'em."  The guard ran toward him, then promptly turned tail due to being a pussy fortress guard, useless as ever, and I hope he went on to die of anus rot.  The wrestler continued on, as the clown shot fireball after fireball onto his unarmored hide to no effect beyond a few simple bruises, and shot up the hillside to the clown's feet.  Then in a moment whose events escape me due to 40d not having combat reports, the creature who had killed hordes of equally or higher skilled dwarves than this just minutes before without suffering a single wound ever was dead by the literal hands of a dwarf with no armor and no weapon.

Truly a dwarf is the pinnacle of life's forms.

I keep thinking glacier fortress would be fun, but it always ends up as cave layer fortress.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on just a minute.

How did stabbing make the head fly off? My Armok, the Elves must be pansier than I thought.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

Cumulative wounds are a tricky thing. There could have been some previous neck damage.

Actually it all depends on the RAW name of the attack, otherwise it can be no different from a slashing because it's an EDGE attack type.

Now if only I could get my dorf to sever the head of an elf using only another elf's head...

And now the thread is about starfish porn.

Stab into the left part of the throat, rip open with a twisting motion to the right, then finish with more thrusting. If you sever the largest part of the spine with the stabbing motion that should be enough to sever the head and push it off the neck.

It probably doesn't hurt that elves have really skinny necks.
