I received reports that some of the dwarves stopped setting the new pressure plates because they were scared away by some goblins trying to get into the fortress. I paid it little mind, knowing that they would soon by horribly dead.
Shortly thereafter, I received reports that some of the dwarves were stopping several other tasks because they were scared away by a zombified dwarf that had somehow gotten inside the fortress. While one of our wolves kept it occupied, I cut it in half.
This is why I'm leader: I'm a problem solver.

Another undead dwarf was spotted inside the fortress. This one caved in another wolf's skull before myself, EmeraldWind, and a macedwarf put it down for good. I need to figure out how they're getting inside, and stop it.
In other news, the first wolf is beginning to rot away. I've ordered it slaughtered for our own good, and to put it out of its misery.

So it turns out that when I ordered the dwarves to sell the caged undead and assorted monsters to the traders, they were unable to grasp the concept of selling the creature inside of the cage along with it, which resulted in four zombie dwarves, a skeletal ogre and a troglodyte running rampant in the fortress. Apart from the two zombie dwarves we had already caught and killed:
*Megaman3321 shot one crossbow bolt at the troglodyte, hitting it in the hand, then wandered off. It passed out from the pain shortly thereafter, but woke up when the skeletal ogre started wailing on it. It managed to get away when El Presidente Kar Puwuncobi assaulted the ogre with her silver warhammer, then passed out again. After the unconscious, mangled troglodyte scared off a few of the less hardy dwarves, Ledi calmly walked up and sank her battleaxe into its skull. El Presidente, meanwhile, got bored of smashing the skeleton with her warhammer and instead CHEWED APART ITS SPINE.
*The third zombie dwarf tried to eat EmeraldWind, but she sank two bolts into its body, two into its legs, and one into its forehead. Despite having a crossbow bolt lodged firmly in its brain, it still didn't die until after she shot it two more times in the arm.
*The fourth zombie dwarf managed to badly wound two more wolves before Deathsword hacked it apart with his sword. As they've already begun rotting and vomiting, I've ordered them slaughtered as well.

Uh oh. It turns out there was another skeletal ogre we didn't notice. EmeraldWind tried to kill it, too, but she was so exhausted from her last fight that she failed to dodge one of its attacks and got her hand torn off. The rest of The Rags of Breath hurried to her rescue, but by the time El Presidente and Ledi arrived and dispatched it, it had already finished her off and begun battering ArmageddonCounselor.

Today, the ghost of Commander Pyro was put to rest. EmeraldWind will likely join him soon... As, I fear, will ArmageddonCounselor, who's already exhibiting the blistering and vomiting that will likely precede his transition to undeath.

As if that wasn't enough, today DevilEd's severed arm came to unlife and started attacking people. Fortunately, Balnash was there to put it down with his axe.
