Those two ↓'s in the hallway are the stark raving mad remains of my population.

But I don't think I'm in the market for their products. What should I do?

[ObeseHelmet]

Give these elves kudos for being able to get into the caverns.

[Loud Whispers]

Give them a gift of fine silks and let them be on their merry way to help strengthen diplomatic and trade friendship.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Well, since you seem to have only two dwarves, both of whom are insane...set a meeting zone over the trade depot and watch the elves sit uncomfortably as they watch the insane, stripping dwarves run around babbling. Then let the FBs get them.

[hops]

Gift them with fresh GCS silks

[Joben]

"Urist McDwarf cancels trade at depot, looking for marbles."

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

What killed everyone?  Or do I not want to know?

[MrWillsauce]

Build a wall around the trade depot and watch what happens.

[misko27]

What killed everyone?  Or do I not want to know?

I really want to know.

Necromancers. The first wave came while I was trading with a dwarven caravan so only a few dwarves died, but to increase the moral of all the upset survivors I started slaughtering all my animals and producing legendary meals. Unfortunately when the second wave of necromancers arrived all the corpses were still out from the butchering. So my ragtag militia band was easily slaughtered by an instant army of cow and yak hair and skin and the corpses of their friends. It grew exponentially, so I siced the entire fort on the zombies and out of the slaughter rose an axedwarf who killed everything and chased the zombies out to the surface where, at the entrance, upon killing the last zombie, he was engulfed in deadly mist. There were about 7 remaining I think 4 were insane, 2 were competent but immobile, and the only competent one who could operate was the mayor. I thought I could keep him alive, but as he was surrounded by death and miasma, while the rest starved to death one by one, he too went stark raving mad. Then the elves showed up.

Next time, try to kill the necromancer first. Oh, and lock up your refuse stockpiles.
