I have a friendly, named, Troglodyte maceman down in the caverns, guarding my door. I think he killed a forgotten beast that hadnt pathed to a visible part of my fort. Part of me wants to capture him, and bring him inside to hang out with my beards, and get some beer as thanks for wiping out 3 ambushes of his fellow troglodytes so far.
At the same time, I forgot to open my front door to let the outpost liason leave. I finally remembered, he got 3 steps onto the surface, and went berserk when he saw the snowing dwarf blood. (hooray for embarking on a terrifying tundra) But he continued to path off the map. Since he (kinda) safely left alive, even tho he is doomed to death for being berserk, will i get my requested items next year? or do i have to wait for 2 more years before i can get my trade license?
