97. No matter how sneaky you are, Minotaurs will detect you.
98. Even copper weapons are lethal in Minotaur hands.
99. Minotaurs can wrestle, too -- disarming them isn't any safer unless that arm flies off in an arc.

And 100... (drumroll)
Very occasionally, you get ambushed by 15 or so night creatures/grey/horned/gibbering/whatever men at once. !!FUN!!

101. Minotaurs are just plain scary opponents. Do not engage without legendary skills and a large group of companions, because they will kick. your. ass.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

102. Your adventurer is tougher in that werebeast form, but still not too good for that shield, no matter what form.

103. Kobold archers are just as deadly as normal human/goblin sized ones.

No really, to test various ideas out once, I used cheat engine to change the points I could allocate to my stats to 1000000. Cue a character with legendary everything. Then cue him getting killed by a goblin bandit somehow. Which proves that no matter how strong anything is on Dwarf Fortress is, if something can hit it in any way and it isn't a blob of acid, it has a chance of dying.
Mind if I ask for some specifics?



104. Large beasts are surprising vulnerable to ankle shankings.
105. Hooves are the deadliest weapon in the game, avoid hooved creatures at all costs. I'd rather fight fifty goblins than a single enraged deer.

Step one, unknowingly run into the deer.
Step two, do minimal damage to its tail, leg, and lower body cuz your dumbass outsider thinks bashing with the spear is the best plan.
Step three, bask in the awesome fury of the horrifying Enraged Deer.
Steps four through twelve are the burial process.

107. If you DO get caught with bogeymen don't give up yet! If you're agility is 1200+ just back off and face them one at a time, if you're decently armoured you can get a good amount of xp.
108. If your agility is less than the bogeymen's, yeah you're dead.

109. Outrunning bogeymen is a terrible idea. They vanish and teleport near to you. Freaky.
110. Legendary Misc. Users can kill someone with a chest. Bandits, wolves, you...
111. Carving and Slicing knifes are mononuclear blades. They can cut through molecules, so armor is useless against them.

112. To a peasant, even the lowly rabbit can be dangerous. Sea Otters are even worse.

113. If you recruit goblin bandits and walk elsewhere they turn on you
114. Somebody saying "Don't talk to me" is always accompanied by them trying to kill you
115. Just because your bandit friend told you to kill his leader doesn't mean he'll be happy about it
116. You can retire in friendly bandit camps
117. If 116 happens any retiring companions may start a loyalty cascade

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

118 If you recruit bandit companions and go to another camp, they are not best buds!
119 Even if the bandit leader is friendly and courteous to you, he will hunt down your companions!
120 If you recruit bandits from both camps, they will follow you everywhere killing each other!

Maybe that the dwarves never died and everyone is just shunning them.
"Wait, what are you doing?  I don't want to go in there!  No, I'm still alive, you can't do this to me!  Is Anybody listening?  Hello... Can someone let me out?  Help me!  Is anyone there?  I'm running out of air!"
