I am spending more time reading about the upcoming updates/development news than actually playing. Damn, Toady, how can you do that with me?

Also, I'm under siege with a only few dwarves and it's getting a bit boring. I have an idea about a new and cooler fort, but I want the new updates to come over, so... Also, I don't like giving up on forts.

I found out the hard way that the same deal goes with web-spitting creatures. NEVER engage them in melee unless your want your legendary swordmasters and axe lords to end up with their heads bitten off.

Never really had much success with web-throwers. They're really fun, I have to say.

A forgotten beast has appeared
It is made of flame, is bloated, and has large mandibles

It's at the bottom of a pit so I have no idea if I can get to it or if it can get to us

Is your mountain home called Moria by any chance? The expeditions from there always dig too deep and unearth the hidden flame.

A miner was caught in a cave-in and was wounded badly.
There's no water source so I dug into the cavern to get him some water.
Unfortunte for him, the chief medical dorf was attending party, and the well was not finished in time so he got infections.

Maybe there were too many stones in one tile, because I had not seen a cave-in in 10 years.

So I used dfhack to dump all the stones. It also looks better now.

[Borge]

An evil region reanimated water buffalo bull corpse just ended a 30 strong goblin siege for me, single-handed.

[utunnels]

The baroness created an artifact blowgun...
Maybe I should give it to a swordsdorf.

[Aristion]

My first werebeast for my new fort has come, a werelizard. It transformed into human form not long after... and ran straight into my fort to my meeting zone where a quickly organized militia killed it. Its title was "The Bewildering Nut".

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Would I be able to kill the beast by dumping water one it?
It's at the bottom of a pit, could I just get my dwarves to attempt to use the nearby river in the cavern to 'fill it'/dump water on the beast?

That's a nice idea for a sauna but it won't kill it. You could throw some garbage down and the impact will probably kill it since fire isn't known for it's strength.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

How would I get them to throw garbage down?
Put a refuse pile along the edge of the pit?
The water wouldn't damage it at all?

Create a zone, designate it as a garbage dump and then when you designate an object for dumping with d b d dwarves will take it there. If the tile they take it to is beside open space they throw the object down the hole.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

So put the garbage dumb tile on the ledge or in open air?

[Broseph Stalin]

You put it on the ledge but they throw it over.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Use anvils for maximum comedy value.

What about dumping some stones or other heavy objects on it if it is directly under the pit hole?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I actually don't know where it is now

I can only see a few tiles at the bottom of the pit (I guess the pit is deep enough that most of the bottom is too far away for my dwarves to see)
So I was just planning on dumping water on it...
I've got plenty of stones that I could dump on it, I'm also a bit worried if another cave bat appears because they have a nasty habbit of injuring and killing my dwarves. And they usualy spawn out of the pit
