Brassorders was assaulted by a hydra (seven died), an ettin (5 dead) and then came the last death to date: our beloved librarian, she was made a scholar because one arm was ripped off via Hydra the last arm was horribly damaged. Well, all went really well till something snapped, she was the smartest dwarf in the fortress then one day just stood in the booze stockpile holding a silver goblet and started sobbing. She just stayed that way, even called a burrow order to see if that would work, nope... Well some quick digging and forging a tomb was built: a silver sarcophagus, an iron statue of her (ran out of silver bars) and a finely engraved walls. She died of dehydration just holding that silver goblet, just sobbed to death. Oh well, she was entombed behind a master crafted door with her own silver chest too, shame I was not able to bury her with that goblet.
Anyway, in other news one of my woodcutters (crippled by war) is about to snap, he is under... "Considerable" stress and lets leave it at that. Out of 120 dwarves about 1/4 of them have wounds one way or another, most of the "common" wounds being from giant monkeys. My dwarves got sick of waiting on them to drop dead out of trees and for some reason have taken a hunger to just killing every monkey they see, makes for a rather gruesome, gore streaked jungle. Oh well, we aint running out of monkey roasts anytime soon. A human in the fortress really got it bad, long story short was ordered for execution, dwarves nailed em, tore their guts out, human went running across fortress, almost got away... Dwarf just steps out of the stairwell and backhands the human into a wall and cuts their throat and walks away... Hell yes.
