So the battle against the giant spider forgotten beast that had managed to climb halfway up my main staircase before being intercepted was going pretty well until the darn thing, with all it's legs broken and chop-marks everywhere, manages to break away from the five or so axedwarves going lumberjack on it's ass and start spewing webs... everywhere. 10 pages of webs later, my militia dwarves can't move closer to the bastard for all the webbing, and production has essentially ground to a halt because half the population of the fortress is stuck in there as well. Actually, looking at it now, it's been at it so long that some of it's wounds have started to scar over. How do I stop it before my dwarves either A: Drown in webs or B: Starve to death?

Actually, on an interesting side note, the thing can shoot webs purely on value of being a giant spider - it doesn't read as having webs in the description.

Crossbows. Lots and lots of crossbows. Don't need to train the marksdwarves, send in a couple dozen civilians with wooden crossbows and bolts and have him bleed to death.

Just as a scorpion FB will have a poisonous sting without needing a descriptor for it.

What GWG said, else try setting it on fire.

1) pincushion it
2) have the remaining dwarves collect the webs
3) spin FB silk thread
4) make FB silk cloth
5) make FB silk cloth items
6) Profit!!?
