I just thought of this, fell dwarves always seem to get the kill, so what would happen if two fell dwarves went after another?

I don't think you can multiple moods at one time.

They'd probably both die.

Of course, this can't happen, because only one strange mood can occur at once. Another doesn't happen until an existing one succeeds or fails. If you use the Planepacked exploit, for instance, you can have a single mood going on for years, and no other moods would begin. If you savescummed back to before activating the glitch and let the mood finish normally, you may well have three or four moods in that same time.

They can't both mood at the same time, however, if they hypothetically could, the fastest one to the draw would win - which would probably be the one that didn't step into the tile the other was occupying, since they would effectively be alternating taking turns unless one was significantly faster than the other.

A quick draw with both Dwarves wielding workshops.

they both win. the second dwarf will come back as a ghost, occupy a workshop, and craft an artifact from the first dwarf's carcass :P

(unless of course he gets turned into a dwarf ghost leather sock before then, of course).
