I've got a nice little fort just starting up on a Haunted grassland with zombies, a brook, a few trees, magma, sand, and even sedimentary rock.
Awesome.
Anyway it's the first winter and we have the bridge down while waiting for the liason to leave, we get rushed very slowly by six zombie rehesus marques. I draft everyone and we rush up to defend our watchkitten.
It's a very easy fight. The first Zonkey gets caught in a cage trap and the rest get picked to shreds. But now I have a real problem. The guys won't do anything because they're afraid of the caged undead monkey. They won't reload the trap, they won't carry the cage away, they won't pick up the bodies. I actually had one guy stuck outside because he rushed outside in terror and was too scared to approach the gate again. I had to re-draft him.
How do I get rid of this thing? I can't haul the cage away and I can't kill it. I can't open the cage because there's no way to attach a mechanism. Is there a solution to this?
EDIT: Found the problem. It's not the caged one at all. There's a free one stuck in the perimeter ditch. I can sort that out.
EDIT2: Sorted. Only I just saw my mechanic load a stone-fall trap with Cinnabar. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to break somebody's skull with a rock that causes mercury poisoning as well.
