Okay, the miner did not survive, after all. But no wonder, it has damaged body, damaged leg, both it's arms had damaged thumb, first finger, second finger and third fingern as well as damaged body. Died to bleeding while going to booze stockpile...
Yeah, the forgotten beast was made of flames, the game listed it for some reason as magma FB. But otherwise, I could have been able to kill it with normal combat, it had head. Also, it didn't fall on stairways, but the pit next to stairs. The stairs are part of my execution system, which basically means around 50 floor drop
Also, for the engravers, the strange thing was that all of them has been engraving since year two or three, but still none of them are better than Talented or something like that. Oh well, I had no rush with the smoothing anyway...
So, my fortress has been the doom of six dwarves so far. Quite low number, if you ask me. Though two drownings should have been avoidable with better management.
EDIT: Made some calculations. The ground where the pit ends is in floor 88, while the floor where the falling begins (where the prisoner is placed before activating the mechanism) is on floor 151. So, it's 63 floor exactly. Wanted a deeper one, but semi-molten rock came to my way...
EDIT2:
Ooooh SHIT!!
Another siege, this time the force has:
15 Goblin hammermen
1 Goblin Spearmaster and 1 Goblin Pikemaster
15 Goblin Bowmen
15 Goblin Lashers
8 Trolls
Some of them are riding with Rutherers, some Giant Cave Swallows.
This is going to be bloody. But it has to wait till tomorrow, going to have couple of drinks with my friends now.
