[Theifofdreams]

Hiding from a goblin siege behind my walls. The first one got bored and wandered off, but a second one showed up just now.
Also exploring the caverns, and trying to figure out the best way to safely exploit them for every last scrap of resources I can get my hands on.
There are hundreds of precious gems coating the walls, and thick veins of minerals abound...
But I have no military, and no access to magma to simply flood the caves. Oh well. I'll do this dwarfy. (IE: needlessly overly complicated, excessively vague, and incredibly dangerous)

Had a very very good wep/arm smith (I like starting one dwarf as proficient). The mayor demanded silver items.

Due to the mass producing preparing for fights, the item kinda got buried so it was never created. No chains around. The Captain of the Guard is an expert fighter.

3 whacks with a -copper pick- and it embeds in my smith's head and kills him.

Justice...

Picks are deadly weapons. Give your CotG's training weapons.

Major bummer. But hey, if you're making weapons and silver is demanded, why not make silver weapons? A silver hammer is pretty nice.

[Haedrian]

But silver isn't very good when I have access to steel. I'm making silver furnishings instead and shoving them into his room so he shuts up. Might do some bolts too...

Silver warhammers beat steel warhammers hands-down.

[Haedrian]

Oh right since its to do with mass. Same for maces I guess yes?

Fey mood.  Dwarf claims the bowery.  Well, that's nice.  Something more useful than an artifact earing.  Nope--artifact bow.  Next time stay in and make some artifact arrows while you're at it, Urist Mcdouche.

Steel has the same density as iron, which sucks.

At least you can put that in a weapon trap and have people admire it.

Get some arrows from the hippies.

Oh cockdammit. I half-equipped a decent looking person (mighty and heals quick, likes whips and gauntlets) as Mcom and wanted to get her to train so I told her to whack a giant capybara because my hunter never had any trouble with them. She walks into the herd, follows one to and fro with the Benny Hill tune on the background, it turns around, savages her, and leaves pale and with only one foot left.

She's now in my little hospital but the river is frozen and I hadn't yet filled my cistern (I wanted it smooth first) so now no-one can give her water or wash her wounds. Goody. Luckily it's spring so the river should thaw relatively soon. I did build a small wallpost of ice in the hospital but I don't know how to melt it because apparently it's sub-zero in -5.

[Gizogin]

My facepalm moment came when I realized that I was actually going "yup, I've been there before," to pretty much all of these.  Also, whenever I forget that dwarves will, when presented with two options, invariably choose the one that leads to disaster.

[FrisianDude]

The river thawed! Yaaay. Oh, there was someone on it? Whoops. A migrant and I'm still in the stage of "sure, more migrants, come on in" so I was kinda worried. Luckily he swam towards the entrance of my waterworks and he passed the floodgate quickly.

 I thought he'd be able to just walk out (which would have made my industrial section a bit wet but fie to that) but instead he got flushed from river level (-1) to cistern level (-10). Remarkably he survived the smack and he was dragged up in no time (by the HM! weaponsmith from the same wave) and is now in hospital.

Luckily my CMD is readily available. Once he's finished his break.

Constructions don't melt or burn.
