A sparring dwarf charged THROUGH THE WALL. Both dwarves fell into the river canyon.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Apparently, rice is not edible/cookable.

Fun ensued.

How did we pass from inns with merry songs and happy music to temples of doom and medieval torture with so much easiness and eagerness??

I have successfully caved in the river surface through the river floor, into my cistern.

I am reminded again that DF physics is... strange.

There was an incident where my resident stonecrafter was found dead, drained of blood. Naturally, there were no witnesses, so I took it upon myself to scour my dwarves to look for suspicious attributes. I then noticed that the Mayor had not only been thirsty due to a scarcity of a drink, but he also worshipped a deity who cursed a Dwarf to vampirism. This rang alarm bells, so I saw no other choice than to convict Mayor.
It all went great. He got hammered and promptly thrown into jail.

But then another dwarf was discovered dead. I had a look at the mayor and well. In retrospect, I probably should have convicted the gem cutter. Now I have a mayor rapidly phasing in and out of rest, with multiple wounds. Whoops.
UPDATE: Nope. I definitely got a vampire. His name changed after his body was discovered in jail. Now to find the other scallywag...

Even with witnesses, you might be here...

Picture a vampire visiting a wedded couple in their bedroom.  The wife is dead and you have a witness fingering the husband for it...

It's a very valid point. I noticed that the not-quite-vampire was more or less unmarried.
At this rate, I'll throw whoever discovered the body into weapon's reach of my hammerer. Presuming they don't start panicking.

I don't know how but a baby managed to die in an underground lake. There was no combat report and the only clue I got were the logs next to it.

My guess is that a logging incident knocked the baby and the mother into the lake, but the mother climbed out, leaving the baby behind. what a shitty parent.

A wave of immigrants arrived with a necromancer, who immediately raised two skeletons and then was, subsequently, elected mayor. Now she is fishing.

Floodgates are breakable by FBs, apparently, and I found that out in the worst way possible. An FB got into my unfinished cistern, which was located 2 z-levels below the cave water level and didn't have anything else to stop the water from flowing down through the stairs and flooding my magma forge/smelter area full of my very first adamantine armor/weapons.

And I thought I was doing so well.
