[Myroc]

So i was starting a new fortress, i embarked on a spot with a magma vent and a brook. Upon arriving on the site i find out that there's a cave here along with two named creatures, a Tiger and a Giant Leopard. I promptly went "Oh crap" and started to quickly disassemble my wagon and bring the food closer to the magma pipe.

About half a minute later i get messages about dwarves interrupting their task because of the tiger, so i promptly recruit my wood cutter/carpenter (since he's the only one with a weapon), and send him off to what i thought was a certain doom against the tiger. The tiger got distracted by one of my muskoxes though, and runs away from my wagon.

NOW i start getting messages along the likes of "Urist McDwarf cancels Store Item in Stockpile: Interrupted by Fire Imp", and i quickly sent over my recruit to do a kamikaze attack against the fire imps.

Not only does he manage to kill the fire imps in a brutal fashion, he propelled one approximately 15 spaces into a cliff wall, splitting him in six different pieces in the process. The along comes the tiger, which my dwarf instagibs and sends him flying 10 spaces. All while only sustaining a yellow wound to his lower left arm.

Atír Whipsprinkles, you just earned yourself a royal bedroom.

Dwarfs sometimes get really lucky...

[ZombieRoboNinja]

Dwarfs sometimes get really lucky...

Yeah. And sometimes your legendary miner gets his arm mauled off by a dark gnome. A dark gnome for godsake.

Dark Gnomes are one thing, hoary marmots are another... >_>

I hate it that my entire elf inulting forest harvesting operation can be ruined by a group of tiny rodents...

Yeah I've actually lost hunters to mountain goats.

(okay so they were trying to wrestle them, but my point stands.)

I had a philosopher with master wrestling, he worshipped the god of death and battle, and had 60 kills to his name, all goblins.

He had a 3x3 room that doubled as arena.

Urist McSuck cancels store item in stockpile: Interrupted by rabbit x3406

That pisses me off so much -.-

[Telcontar]

XSI: Did you cause that, or was it from world Gen? Awsome either way.

[zchris13]

It's hyperbole of a common problem.

Philosophers have no world gen history(Only the king has that), I caused the philosopher, all world gen did was make the god, and then when the philosopher came I just knew his bedroom would have to double as arena. The goblins were from sieges that ran into cage traps.

As soon as I read my philosopher worshipped such a god, well, it was clear to me he had to become legendary in a combat skill, unfortunately, I gave up on that fort before he reached it. It's still a nice mental picture.

Fire imps are wimps so long as you don't get hit by a fireball (their aim's pretty crappy) or get caught in a forest fire. As for the tiger, nice shot eh?

[Vester]

I tend to stay away from the imps. It's pretty bad when you try to swarm them with recruits because it's practically guaranteed that one of them will step in a fire and precipitate !!burning death!!.

On the other hand, how did he get injured?

"Sorry guys, I have to rest. I sprained my arm KICKING YOUR ASSES."

That scenario frightfully makes sense.
