honestly, that was a ragequit moment.  The friggin thief just walked on past and grabbed it.  There were like 100+ floors yet to be placed.
My computer struggled to load all the demons.  Then, next frame, I check the unit list....
The last.... 4+ pages.... all demons.

Who's to say that the four elements of ye old Europe is the same as the four dwarven elements.
If I were to place bets, I would say the 'dwarven' elements are Magma, metal, alcohol and +cat liver biscuits+.

Make sure to put the silver arrows exactly two rooms over from the evil sorceror's chamber, because that's the one thing that can kill him and he wants to know where they are at all times.

Why mix all of the elements? Build 5 seperate devices to execute goblin prisoners, and have them all activated by a single lever pull:

- magma-lit coal/lignite road fire bbq (so they don't melt/drown in the magma!). Let the goblins keep their leather clothing for more lols.
- water drowning room
- 20z+ falling/air sparta pit
- room full of obsidian sword weapon traps and gold/platinum nugget stonefall traps (classier than an instant cave-in trap, and easier to reset!)
- 1x1 room with a cage of kittens/cats/puppies/war dogs hooked to level (AFAIK harmless creatures will fight back if "cornered" and they have nowhere to run)

Obviously some goblins will die faster than others.

Well Heart is only lame because we can't make a proper trap that would utilise as far as I know. I see the DF version of heart being blood.

In Dwarf Fortress, 'Heart' means 'Waves of disposable immigrants with cheap metal short swords and no armor'

Huochong sounds like what you hear when a ninja hits somebody with a frying pan.

Haha yeah, like Thulsa Doom said. "Steel isn't strong, boy. Flesh is stronger. Look around you."

I'd set them loose in my Colosseum with some beasts or, if it would work, drop some nobles on their heads.
