So... I find a funhouse full of happy clowns and think oh awesome, if its tentacle clowns or frog clowns i can handle it np, I have a military of a dozen champions and a half dozen marksdwarves plus a few swordmasters. I cleared out an underground river and a magma pipe, as well as warding off a legendary tailless dragon, a flock of giant eagles, and of course the run of the mill goblin sieges, the works, so I figured this would be no problem.
Oh, then all of the charcoal in the funhouse starts bursting into flame. I'm assuming this is a fire clown infestation because frog and tentacle clowns don't start fires from what I've seen, and normal clowns only do so after revealed. I've never really had to deal with them, and from what I hear just getting near them will melt even steel armor, which is bad news because I only have copper and leather! I didn't hit the house directly, I nicked an edge of the highest level of it in a way that the demons are still isolated from the rest of the fort. Is there a practical way of killing them or should I just keep them walled off and let them chill in there?
I know that seems like the logical thing to do but it's so undwarfy to know there be fiends in that thar bottomless pit and not do anything about it.
Oh whoops, I forgot they can fly and apparently I broke the roof of the second level, I'll tell you all how the horrific massacre goes, I promise!
