Oh, and cool pic.

Silly guy. As you can clearly see, "dwarf" is an intransitive adjective in this context!

I like the way the explorers colour-coordinated their caving suits to match the crystals and the rocks.   :)

Intransitive yes, adjective no.  "Dwarf" is a doing word!

Also, that is one of the most amazingly awesome things I've seen in a while and I want a high-res version of that pic to put on my desktop.

You know you want to.

Unfortunately, I have to spoil it.  I was wrong, it IS transitive.

I wish these kinds of natural features were in the game just so i could stick all my nobles in there to stop them from bitching about room requirements.

Am I the only one who thinks that picture looks faked? Like they just stuck a bunch of people on a close-up picture of a crystal formation.

So there's that, as well. It looks like the only chronic problems that water can't cure are nausea and cave spider bites.
Which, coincidentally enough, can be cured by magma.

Note the wiki specifically mentions magma chambers.  That mine is absolutely dwarven.

Note that there is the 'Cave of Crystals' as well as the 'Cave of Swords', each containing massive crystals.  Now all they need to find is the 'Cave of Demons' with mysterious bone mill strewn amongst the rocks.

Find comfort in that most people of intelligence jeer at the inmost mysteries, if superior minds were ever placed in fullest contact with the secrets preserved by
 ancient and lowly cults, the resultant abnormalities would soon not only wreck the world, but threathen the very ingerity of the cosmos
