Crundle being used for golf?

Not dwarfy enough.

Slade !!Crundles!! being hit with *fruitcakium whips* out of magma and going into high orbit and landing four hundred years later, killing a dungeon master in the process?

I'd fund it.

I can imagine this in a news report:
Later day, an orbital crundle has crashed into the house of an unlucky citizen.  The crash caused a small crater, effectively exploding the house and killing the lone resident: one man said to have punched a crundle into the sky.

The snatcher chose the wrong target this time "no way you are taking me, bitch!"

I was commenting when do babies have 3 or possibly more arms?

\I was commenting when do babies have 3 or possibly more arms?

How often do you look at the wound screen, or rather, yourself? The right upper arm is the upper part of your right arm. The bit between shoulder and elbow. Similarly, left lower arm is simply the piece of arm between left wrist and left shoulder.

[Diakron]

hmm I always thought the upper arm was the part between you wrist and elbow...

i had another crundle and baby incident.

aparently minegroves residence let their babys into the caverns when crundles are their as a form of natural dwarfy selection. if the baby dosent fight back, not dwarfy enought, dosent live, if it does, it gets to live as the crundle runs off and is accepted as a part of the 145 population fort.

I have about 10 ish babys/children, my fort is very popular for familys aparently xP since 7 were born here. its only year 4 ish in.

Once, during a goblin siege, I had a dragon show up...[ December 03, 2007: Message edited by: JoRo ]

I had a cyclops show up right after a small goblin siege with them armed with hammers and morningstars. The hammers did nothing against my sudden one-eyed ally but the morningstars got stuck. Two of them to be exact. He pulled them out and before I knew it this guy was dual-wielding morningstars on little green goo-blins!

Epilogue: he got captured in a cage. Felt good untill I did a mass 'claim and dump' on all the cages I had and my new castle guard got de-armed

In the middle of an ambush I had two recruits who were late to the party rushing out of my fortress gate to join a battle.  Right after they pass the line of traps and start charging towards the goblins, one of them lays down in the grass and falls asleep.  Wasn't drowsy or anything, just figured he'd take a nap and let his partner do all the work.

The goblins brained him in passing, and he was still asleep.  At least he didn't fall asleep on a trap.

That is the lower arm.  the upper arm is between shoulder and elbow (i believe.  it makes more sense in my head at least)

Once, I had an insane mason. He threw a barrel across the dining hall, and killed our carpenter. I am sooo glad I just so happened to be looking at what was going on in the dining room that one second   

Another time, I had an axedwarf who died in a brook. It froze over in the winter, and I decided to mine to find his body. I did, and immediately, his former pet dog came and sat by his side.    (so loyal) My metalsmith was on break, so I was unable to build a sarcaphagus in time for a dwarf to lug him out of the brook, and so it melted, drowning his dog with him.

There was this other time where a forgotten beast came, then immediately left... never to be seen again.

ONE FINAL STORY!
I accidentally released a minotaur from its cage in our food stockpile/farm room. The stupid dwarf had a baby, who somehow broke its leg, even though the mother was killed. Then, the mayor (who had grown fond of a crossbow and was carrying it) was pushed into the room. He beat the minotaur to death with it.

In one of my earliest fortresses I made a huge bridge, made up of 5 or so bridges combined over a huge pit. I connected each bridge to the same lever by mistake. So when my population got around 70 I got a goblin siege. I had neglected to make any form of military, and over compensated. I drafted every dwarf into the military except for one to pull the lever. I sent them to the bridge for a battle to the death, and pulled the lever. I thought the lever would only flip the bridge that the goblins were approaching. Instead, my entire population got thrown down a 10 level shaft. Insert face palm.

I had goblins siege one of my fortresses, I had constructed a entrance, lined by pits that fell into magma and filled with traps. I had the gobbo seige stop at the start because of the leader stepped in a cage trap. Sent out 1 and 1/2 squads of steel clad trained up dwarves to deal with it. All but 2 managed to dodge directly into the trench, landing at its magmy bottom. I imagine the remaining recruit and Axe lord where not happy. Recruit got knocked out pretty quickly, but the Axe lord ripped through the rest of the seige, and the gobbos ran. The recruit then bled to death, leaving the Axe Lord standing in a bloodbath. The mass dwarf die off caused tanturming back at the fortress, and even more dwarves died. I think i should have built an alternate exit.
