Magma is boring

Burn the heretic! 

Only if you walk through my serrated discs first. Unarmored!!

[PatrikLundell]

Well, it seems dorfs readily make greaves out of goblin and reacher bone, but balk at using dwarf bone. Haven't tried human or elf yet (they all went aburning in the boring magma).

Walking through serrated discs unarmored is easy: just send in a sufficient number of minions (or useful idiots, a.k.a. undead or goblins [categories not mutually exclusive]) to jam them first;)

[Revenant342]

Speaking of dwarf bones, are fell moods different now?  I remember that my dwarves would occasionally moodily murder each other and make stuff from their bones, but haven't seen that yet in this version.  I got an artifact dwarf bone throne that way once and gave it to my monarch to keep the peons in line. 

[Eldin00]

Fell moods can still happen in .40.24 But only very unhappy dwarves ever seem to get them, and unless you have too many corpses lying about or run afoul of the 'vengeful thoughts' bug, it's fairly easy to not have many unhappy dwarves who could end up in a fell mood.

It turns out you can't build lead menacing spikes. Silver is only 10% less dense, though. It seems a waste of a valuable metal.

[Revenant342]

Iron would be better for both, or steel ideally.  Menacing spikes are piercing.

I had a natural chasm that was 40z levels deep leading into the caverns in my recent fort, and have adopted that as "The Pit of Dubious Justice".

I think the floors are dolomite, but I'm not sure. I've thrown both a troll and a human werecreature down there and oddly enough not only do they explode horribly, but each time their neck has somehow ended up as a separate gib.

I've seen severed heads before, but never a neck somehow on it's own, cleaved from the corpse by a blunt floor

The neck is the severed head - since the neck is the part connecting it to the body, the game counts the head as part of the neck.

It's like how when you cut the right upper arm off the game doesn't call it a right hand, or a right lower arm, it calls it a right upper arm, even if it has the right hand and lower arm still on it.
