My best, guilded Axedwarf just died versus a warlock spy. He killed it with two swings, and I thought he would be alright, his wounds were in yellow, only, and his unit screen didn't indicate any bleeding. He then proceeded to bleed out in ten frames, from burns. I then commissioned a marble coffin and slab, after profiling the workshop for only my legendary mason. The mason starts working, and, strangely, isn't producing any masterwork. Turns out, my legendary mason is his wife . . . she wasn't tantruming, but his both of his parents decided to. Then, right after his mother calms down, his dad decides to ATTACK her. What the hell, Urist. Venting your aggression on your wife, the only other dwarf who understands exactly what you're going through. Not cool. I thought domestic violence was the only thing dwarves DIDN'T engage in.
EDIT: It's been about a week. The father went berserk, and was subsequently hacked into bite-sized chunks by my militia commander, his son's squadmate. Following this, the mother has gone melancholy, though she has yet to die. The wife (Mason) previously created a rather awesome artifact throne, and thus is immune to insanity, and besides, no bad thoughts for dead in-laws. The only possible way it could spiral is through the children, although they probably would've done it before now, if they were going to blow. No further bad thoughts from dead grandparents either. The axedwarf that started it is now lying in state with a masterful slab and coffin, both made (and engraved, for the slab) by his wife, and on floors she engraved as well. They aren't masterful, unfortunately, she's only a competent Engraver. Thankfully, slabs have base quality from the mason, not the engraver.
This is a masterful marble memorial to Oshgat Olonozor created by Avuz Vabokunnos.
The slab reads "In memory of Oshgat Olonozor / Born 71 / Suffocated in the year 123 / Slayer of the Warlock Spy / Loving father and husband."
Engraved on the floor is a(n) image of nothing by Avuz Vabokunnos.
Kind of Zen, if you think about it.
Engraved on the floor is a(n) image of a animal trap by Avuz Vabokunnos.
Eh, I suppose the other stuff is profound enough.
