So... what about the theory that they eat the sentients because just killing them would be a waste.

I was talking about importing alimunim.
And we were hypothesising about the sexual relations between elves and trees.

Ok guys, you're jumping to conclusions here, we don't actually know if they're vamps yet.

We'll need to test them first.

So, as we all know, Vampires both float, and are immune to fire. So we burn them, and if they live through that, they're a vampire, then we kill them with our wooden spike traps. Optionally, we through them in the river, and if they live through THAT, we see if they float in magma.

Seriously, though, I have had the same problem mentioned in the OP. I think it's just a bug.

If dwarves decided to live in trees like hippies, they'd still do it better than the elves.

Yeah, that's what I gathered; "You killed it, you eat it."  Sort of a predator ethic.

Doesn't explain how the trees things makes the slightest bit of sense, though.

It's because they don't like eating trees.

elves = vampires?

Do we have to impale them with wooden stakes? I can imagine an adamantite spike would be much more suitable. (decorated with adamantite spikes of course)

yo we herd u like spikes so... *stops self*

... we put a spike on your spear so you can stab while you stab!

A normal ballista does damage by piercing with overlarge arrows, a dwarven ballista does damage by crushing with entire trees.

They will run, naked, into the caverns and roll around in whatever nearby filth is available.  Watch for gory explosions.

Sure it does.  We're chopping down trees and then selling them.  They would be much happier if we were chopping down trees and then EATING them instead.

So the wooden stuff they're trading us is detritus of some sort, not fit to be eaten?  Maybe ... already eaten?

...

I don't think I want to buy beads from the elves anymore.
