barrels upon barrels of Sunshine!

Really, really hate getting cloth, especially pre-dyed cloth, since it is never with any skill.  Just for once I'd like to see some masterful rope reed dyed masterfully green with emerald dye come from them.

The elves bring me caged animals, occasional training implements.

And when I'm bored, blood for the Blood God.
Only when you're bored? Not every time they arrogantly demand you stop cutting trees?

My elves bring me logs, lots of them. And this is very good.

Although the recent appearence of the obnoxious elven diplomat will propably cause me to kill the sorry bunch.

you would almost be tempted to let them go, because they have nothing to loot anyway

The first time elves traded with me, they brought 4 wood flutes, 1 wood piccolo, and a piece of rope reed cloth. No logs, animals, booze, anything useful.

A pair of giant eagles and a grizzly bear. Nothing says badass like a pair of giant eagles chained atop the entrance gate of your fort.

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

I think it'd be better to just throw him in a pit.
By pit I mean "ledge designated as pit some 30 levels above the ground water magma" and that would,as they say be the end of that.
Unless a sword/axedwarf gets to 'em.. then it's rhesus pieces...

Except the knowledge that you caught them on site, to defend against Giant Eagles.

Aye, you win this round.

If I had any on my map, I'd build some elaborate funnel-trap to catch the little bastards, but there's been a Fell Dragon taking up my only predatory creature slot for the past seven or eight years and he's sitting 20 z-levels above my second-highest mountain (which is another 30 z-levels itself), and he doesn't want to come down so I can sic my champions on him.

What would one have to mod so the Elves also bring you some elf leather (after some fortunate accidents)?
