Yep, that's the way to do it.  I remember seeing this video a while back

Still pretty epic though.

Alternatively, you can use doors + upright spike traps to do it. Spike traps don't discriminate on targets. Just line a hallway with them, put some doors in to slow them down, and keep pulling that lever.

I'm pretty sure the demons are to be trapped....although spike traps are generally a good answer to just about about any issue.

ZChris: betcha they don't melt adamantine, which you by definition have access to.

I'm pretty sure addy melts slightly below or at SOF temp.  Not sure.  Not making any bets on this one.

Hot off the raws:

In particular we have, [MELTING_POINT:25000] vs. [FIXED_TEMP:25000].  So it would melt, I guess?  Note that this is adamantine the metal, not rawa adamantine.

Adamantine, raw or otherwise, will not be melted by a &.

I caught 15 of some of the not so bad kind. It was good until I realized that goblins are at peace with them.... so much for death pits...

Your adamantine won't generally melt, because the SoFtie would need to ingest it to actually apply that full temp to it (really, don't think even standing on the tile will do it entirely)
