Heinous crimes perpetrated by semi-megabeasts

Quote from: Some town leader
I am speaking for The Band of Twinkling. Thank you for your offer of service.
Our people have been tormented by a fearsome foe.
Testedhollow the Flighty Persuader is a day's travel to the northeast.
Seek this place and kill Civila Swiftsearched the giant.
Knowing no mercy, Civila stole Longland beer!

I guess, depending on the situation, being deprived of beer can be considered torment.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I got sent to kill a giant for stealing wild strawberries. I showed up at the cave and found nothing but one wild strawberry on the ground. I ate it and ran off to kill the giant.

The truely weird part is that the giant didnt stole a barrel of beer, he stole JUST the beer.

Somewhere in its cave, there will be this puddle of beer, just laying there. Being... drinkable!

Venture forth! Slay the atrocious giant! Drink beer!

Perfect quest.

That always bugged me for some reason.
Then again, it also bugs me that you can kill a wolf by throwing a fly at it, but who am I to argue with how the game works?

I was sent from village #1 once to the next village (#2) to kill a guard that had killed a previous adventurer of mine from village #1. My previous adventurer had stolen something, you see, and then been killed for it. The guard who killed him reached Questable status and was a now marked target. The fiend! protecting the property of village #2, how DARE he.

Both villages (#1 and #2) were a part of the same entity. This did not end well. I went back to village #1 report on killing #2s guard, and was immediately slain by the mayor who'd told me to do it.

I was set up!

And here I just figured it was part of a whole layer of sordid poilitics toady put in without telling us.  Mobsters ordering hits on local politicians, revolutionaries hiding among the populace, corrupt politicians ordering the killing of citizens then turning on you and claiming ignorance.
 This was the "plausible deniability scheme".

...I kid. though that would be awesome.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

I once had an alakazam (using the pokemon mod) who deprived a guy of his manhood. I happened to notice that the manhood-less guy was actually the drunk I got to follow me in, who was killed quite slowly by the alakazam, and in the end was psybeamed in the chest only for it to explode in gore. Was awesome.

Toady managed to sneak genitals in to body_default when we weren't looking or am I missing the point?

That always bugged me for some reason.

It bugs me a lot more that I can pick up the puddle of beer and put it in my backpack, or just hold it in my hand. Maybe throw it at someone if I feel like it, and crush their head into an unrecognizable mass.
