My dwarves are suddenly leaving the fortress and trekking west to "Store Item in stockpile"  I'm not sure what item they are heading for, because their path takes them through kobold territory and they are killed before they reach the item.  I searched around the kobold camp and all their kobold junk is set as forbidden.  The only clue I have is one dwarf I saw carrying "steel bolts" back to the fortress from the kobold area.

Is there any way to set my dwarves invincible so that I can watch where they go?

there's a text file:

Inside, under the DWARF section, change DAMBLOCK value to something like 300, you'll be pretty tough.  GENPOWER seems to make you more powerful also.  Other folks will have ideas about this.

Found it.  My hunter encounters and kills a kobold and then wanders away to "hunt" some more.  Then my whole fortress heads out to get back the steel bolts left on the dead kobold's tile.

Do hunters normally reclaim their bolts from animal prey?  Is there a reason that the hunter does not go and get his bolts back from the kobold, but the rest of my dwarves do set out to retrieve them?

I'll just forbid the bolts so I can keep playing.  What a weird problem.

Hmm, and not just the bolts, but it looks like there's a hoary marmot corpse that counts as dwarf property out by the kobolds too.  I never got any message about my hunter being interrupted, so I wonder why he just left it there.

Sounds like someone went over by that area and got killed.  It might have been part of a caravan coming by if it wasn't one of your dwarves.
