I am about ready to declare Relicmurdered the fortress of awsome artifacts. So far I've gotten a pig iron breastplate (and a legendary armorer!!!) an artifact oaken cage (better than a wooden earring right?) and now a turkey bone throne!

Beyond that, things have been quiet here in this fortress, the resident dragon seems content to chill in his lair while we franticly build our fort and its defenses. If all goes well in the next year or two we'll have ourselves a pet dragon.

I got an artifact crutch and an artifact wolf-bone pick, is either one useful in the practical sense?

Crutch for crutch-walking, pick for mining?

A forgotten beast came along.
A huge feathery alligator with a poisonous bite.
It will be fun.

EDIT: Another victory for another lasher.

Sure but the question is do they perform better than the other 100 crutches and picks I have laying around?

A noxious-fume breathing, elephant-trunked skinless elk FB came up from the depths and murdered what little military I had. I ordered my civilians outside of the fort, and just as the murderous elk charged out the entrance (which was rigged with a pit that could cave-in the floor), I pulled a lever that a mechanic rigged temporarily to make said entrance trap work from outside. The elk then fell and exploded on spikes 30 Z-levels below.

I am quite happy... although I don't dare unstick what remains of him from the spikes, considering the entire room is now covered with his extract and I'm sure disease will spread from that.

The crutch is good, the pick is awesome.

No, crutch-walking and mining speeds are related to skills, not tools.

Only the quality of weapons and armors count.

Picks are weapons. A good miner can be a formidable foe.

I have one miner who I transferred to military service by forumite request.  They're tough even without their picks.  In the most recent battle, he chased and killed a fleeing lizardfolk with a single bite to the head.  Nothing else in the combat report.  Just a single brain bite, which appears to have happened while running, since the enemy was fleeing and didn't get knocked down or anything first.

Hammer another yak with it, and see which set of yak bones breaks first.

The Elves gave me a Giant Tiger! that'll be fun to lock in a room with captured goblins!

Also, Elf Merchants fight back when being attacked now? But they still stand around while their merchant friends are being attacked one by one. Interesting.

My expedition was sent to kill the Elf Merchants singlehandedly, in the interest of earning our leader a name. He took a rough beating, but survived, and recovered like a champ.

No, seriously, the complete lack of sieges freaks me out. As well as the fragility of badgers: another guy punched one's brain's out in a single hit. The only real casualty was caused by a fisher thrown in the river by a badger man, and it froze the next second.
Goblins are gonna invade the place on badger mounts, while being led by a badger demon with extremely deadly and contagious rabies blood. No other way.
HOW LONG AM I GOING TO WAIT FOR THE INEVITABLE TO HAPPEN.
COME ON, I AM MORE THAN READY. IF I HAVE TO GO OUT IN BLAZING, RABID, BLOODY GLORY, THEN I WILL
