[They Got Leader]

I spawned on top of a Night Troll lair, so two quick questions about them:

1: I have the "Night Troll Spouse", does that mean the other will return?

2: Can I cage trap the Night Troll?

[Loud Whispers]

1. Yes

2. It should be trap avoid. For now just lock the hatch/door it resides behind and wait till you can web some cage traps.

[They Got Leader]

1. Yes

Sounds like a problem... Otherwise, what you are trying to tell me is that I have a certain amount of time before the Night Troll comes back and realizes its spouse has been locked up.

I suddenly have no doubts that it is trap avoid. I broke the hatch and replaced it with a floor. I haven't played DF for many updates, so refresh my memory: does using stone-fall traps cause the creature to duck, allowing it to be cage trapped?

Wait, ignore past-Whispers. I mean no.

Stone fall traps don't cause that, plus they're traps so the Night troll wouldn't trigger it

You can use a cave in to knock it unconscious, but in cramped confines you're more likely to just kill it.

Oh. Well damn. I was looking forward to that.

That's what it was. Cave in. But, if I don't kill it, it is possible to cage trap?

Any way you can stun / cause unconsciousness to it while it stands on a cage trap - yes

Do night troll's fly? Can I channel the floor above and have my marksdwarves shoot at it while it sits in its lair?

No, unless it has wings. Does it have wings?

[They Got Leader]

No, it does have a tail, though. No wings = no flying?


Also, refresh my memory: when building over the magma sea, [BUILDING_DESTROYER] can't affect a building that is above it (when it has no access to that z-level).

[Mura]

True, Leader.
