I had a zombie horde coming to my fortress but I stopped with the help of my poorly trained dwarves and cage traps.

Thing is that I captured a few zombies in those cages, but somehow my dwarves are afraid of going anywhere near them.
This is troublesome because it's the entrance of the fortress, and while my active soldiers come and go without any problem, the rest of the dwarves are going nuts trying to retrieve the dead bodies of my dwarves who fought so bravely, their equipment and whatnot.

Any workaround or it's probably a bug?
If I mark it for my squad to kill it, it says it's not a reachable valid target. Damn.

Are you sure that your military can path to the target? Try using a station command to put them next to the target, and seeing if they react. If they can't get to the spot you choose, it should become obvious.

My military doesn't have any problem with the caged enemy, it's the whole other plain dwarves that keep getting the "interrupted by elf partial skeleton" while trying to store anything into a stockpile/tomb/whatever.

The problem is that this particular caged enemy is in the entrance of the fortress, meaning that migrants can't come inside (also afraid) and my own dwarves can't go outside to get water, wood, items left from the last battle, etc.
And, of course, can't put the caged enemy into the animal stockpile.

Fuck me.

It is not a caged elf what caused all that trouble, somehow a zombie elf got up the wall of the entrance and is stuck there.

Now to think about a way to make him go down or make my soldiers go up...

Marksdwarves would suffice, I think- killing it or forcing it to dodge someplace available.

I knew that, but I saw no enemy arround and couldn't find any other explanation.

How could I know he was lurking from above...

Because caged animals don't freak out Dwarves
