[Kriby]

Don't kill things directly above you, folks.

[Trapezohedron]

Oh goodness... I never knew albatrosses could break ribs by falling into your chest.

Unless, if it was a particularly fat one, in which it is justified.

[caddybear]

Aren't albatrosses very big?

[Trapezohedron]

Aren't albatrosses very big?

And this is why you don't post drunk or sleepy, because your immense amounts of stupid will show.

To answer your question, yes, they are very big. They're probably heavy enough to break ribs when falling down at high velocities.

[Hammerstar]

Wikipedia sez: They have a wingspan of 11 feet.

So yeah. That's a big-ass bird.

[MonkeyHead]

Weapon idea.

Capture quantites of wild birds, caging them on a raised platform. Release when siegers arrive, and shoot them down with marksdwarves located nearby. Gravity should do the rest.

"The spinning buzzard corpse strikes the troll in the head, tearing the brain..."

Pointless, innefficient and compicated.

In other words? Dwarven.

[Uzu Bash]

Inefficient yet recreational: ko-ball. The 'platter' stands by a platter at the edge of a cliff overlooking invading forces. The 'pitcher' throws a kobold over the platter, and the 'platter' swings an axe at the kobold's midsection. A foul swing fails to cleave the torso in two, but the score comes from the number of enemies hit by flying sections.

Run home? We're already home, and dwarves only run when they're on !!fire!!

Or catapult them with a drawbridge, and pretend your dwarves are playing Angry Birds against the horde of pig-faced goblins?

[Loud Whispers]

Angry birds?

...

Raven swarms?

I'm missing something here.

[Uzu Bash]

I actually did cut a flying bogeyman out of the sky with a steel pick. Half hit me, the other half hit another bogeyman. Neither of us died, so it's not a very good story.
