*designate some channels to be dug*

2 minutes later: a cavern has collapsed!
 Urist Mc Miner has died

and you better believe that he channeled himself onto an island, which fell and he punched through 10 floors of solid rock, before splattering all over the ground floor

Or if you do what I've done. Twice:

a section of the cavern has collapsed!
Urist Mc Miner has died
Urist Mc Soldier has died
Urist Mc Carpenter has died
Urist Mc Mason has died
Urist Mc Child has died

when those ten layers happen to be inhabited by dwarves and a 5x5 square of stone smashes through them.

Urist McGoodfernothin' cancels pull lever: interupted by deer

This one may need a bit of explanation.  I was making a new enclosed area for drinking from, and apparently a deer managed to sneak in and wind its way through the Randomly Dug Adamantine Finding Mines without scaring a dwarf.  In fact, he got all the way to the room with the vital lever required for sealing off the fort.  Which was deep inside.  When Urist McLazyarse went to pull said lever, he was scared by this random deer.  I recruited him, of course, but he managed to overexert.  The doors didn't close, and a lot of the fortress was lost to orc snipers.  Interesting times.

Mayor Urist McFriendly has been struck down.

I used to really like to have three guys in my military at all times, give them all the best gear and let them train themselves to omega-champion levels.  After a seige, I pulled the lever to re-open my dramatic 9x9 front drawbridge, and it CRUSHED ALL THREE OF THEM.  Sunuvabitch...  I named them Horatius, Lartius and Herminius, and that was the saddest trio of announcements ever.

LMAO.  Fun!

After a battle, I have a deep pit with spikes at the bottom.  I use this for disposing of the prisoners (Since we can't sell 'em, slave 'em, and my Champions are all pretty much maxed from constant sparring, I never have arenas).

Well, during the pitting, I station the champions near the hole to ensure that, if anything escapes, we can deal with it fast.

Urist McNobody cancels pit large animal: Orc A on the lose
Urist McMoron cancels pit large animal: Orc B on the lose
Urist McLongtitle cancels scream: dies against obstacle
Bembol Warriordwarf cancels pray: dies against obstacle
Urist McNobody has bled to death

Sure enough, two of my Champs rushed the Orcs and fell down the hole with them, to certain death.

I've had a similar situation happen earlier with my moat.  Before I had a military, I had my booker fight a thief.  Being legendary, winning wasn't a problem, but then he tackled the thief into the moat, where they both remain, in dead form.

Dwarf cancels pull lever: Dangerous terrain.

Then I got to sit there and watch my whole fort flood because nobody wanted to close the floodgate. THANKS GUYS.

The Countess Consort has mandated the construction of new items.

 Everybody cancels whatever: Hunting vermin.

 ONSHI- I gotta get food somehow! But nobody will grow the dammed food because they are all hunting for vermin.
