If you are ambushed near a chasm in adventure mode, you get tonnes of spam about creatures falling down it (couldn't find the damn chasm, but kept getting "Snakeman fell down chasm" etc.).

Hehe, I get that all the time.  Odds are, you were right on top of it, and it just isn't open to the air.  Hmmm... I wonder if the announcement zooming Toady just added applies to Adventure Mode.

That'd have been an underground river, which has a chasm at the very end that they can be swept into.

I can't belive I didn't notice that before. Love the titles.

If you piss a priest off, they can shove their fist through your heart. It just happened to me.

In the very next turn he punched my torso into a lump of gore.

Just noticed: Priests are dangerous.

I bet he is superdwarvenly tough, unbelievably agile and ultramighty for always talking.

Probably.  Which was a shame, because I was raring for an enormous fight.

Indeed, chasm fights can be epic if you can ever find the damn thing.  Make sure to turn off dodging though, otherwise you could be in for a long fall.

And things happen to be on the outside... winged adventurers can get there, but you'll probably want to get over ledges asap

 I noticed dwarves have a priority for deconstructing things. We have security for trapping our dwarves behind walls!

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

Bolts become periods when they begin to fall from the sky.

That. Is. Awesome.

When dwarves want to commit suicide, then by Armok, they _will_ commit suicide, even if they have to spend the rest of their lives working at it!

... SO AWESOME

(Yet not scientific. They should be periods when falling up and x's when falling down =P)

For that viciously bad pun, I'm gonna introduce a NPC named Vlynndar just so that I can kill him of in a cruel and unusual way.

Are you talking about in adventure mode?  Because my experience in fortress mode doesn't hold that up...

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

Critters chasmed become a block, a stone, then a period before you get their chasming notification.
