Thanks to Tinypirates tutorials I had a fort running well, 81 dwarves and a helluva lot of puppies and dogs who were doing nothing because noone had small animal trainer, anyway one fine day some elves came in to trade. Thanks to some overzealous stone crafts construction I was never short of stuff to trade for. In a moment of madness I forgot about not giving them my wooden bins. Well that stood on their beard (well figuratively speaking).
Anticipating an impending elf invasion I set about getting some ballista ready as well as a moat to surround the entrance.
Digging a underground tunnel channeling some water from the river into my moat went well and as the moat was being dug about 4 different goblin ambushes came out of nowhere.
Have no fear I have 7 elite wrestlers armed with steel hammers ready!
But the gobblins where too quick and swiftly killed a few dedicated wood haulers who were hauling it back to the fort.
Turns out it was the nice dining room that was keeping the dwarves from going over the edge and the sudden loss of their lovers and friends pushed them over the edge.
A few broken table and killed puppies later and all hell has broken loose, a lever was pulled that let lava into the apartments.
While all this happened a miner oblivious to the choas did the final chanelling which filled the moat and because of some really bad planning, flooded the storeroom too.
Well that was fun. Did I mention that someone broke the bridge so about 6 or 7 died of thirst or goblins after collapsing from exhaustion and locked out my eager militia who could have dealt with the first few berserkers?
