Soooo.... I've been building an above ground fortress and praise Armok I got around to finishing my castle walls and that drawbridge, because WOW!!! The devastation is just incredible. Anyone want to guess what caused it? Take a look at this!
That is my first EVER dragon in the bottom right corner and that is a sea of ash it created surrounding my fort. I think it vaporized a migration wave, but I'm not entirely sure because there don't seem to be any remains, I just know it was breathing fire all over the edge of the map and I saw what I think was a Stray Donkey (Tame) through all the smoke. I got so lucky I didn't wait for that last Peasant to get into the fort before pulling the lever because if that thing had got even one shot into the fort before the bridge closed I think things would have gotten a lot more FUN really fast.
I'm very excited about all this of course, the dragon fire is just incredible. Now what to do with it. As you can see in the picture I've set up some cage traps to try to catch it with. but I'm not sure if I want to just yet. I kindof want to watch it vaporize another wave, or maybe a siege haha.
Also, thank Armok this thing can't fly because I don't have a roof yet
EDIT: Better yet! One of my 9 Masons (Well, 8, one is more or less permanently bedridden from a nasty altercation with an alligator) started throwing tantrums immediately after I caught the dragon. After a little looking around several dwarves I had never heard of turned up missing all at once and I realized that almost all of the mason's family had been in that migration wave resulting in the simultaneous death and full decay of both his father and mother and at least one sibling! Good thing my fort has amazing moral. Literally, his mood went from well over 100 to 0 in about 5 seconds haha.
