Not only weapons, just about anything is deadly (especially when thrown).

It's possible to kill a dragon with a spinning live worm or sand.

Though weapons are definetelly more effective. Nothing like tossing serrated disks and dismembering from a distance!

Also, try throwing ballista bolts. Its... gory.

I like throwing skulls at creatures.

It's seriously morbid.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

The people I murder never rot fast enough for me to steal their skulls...

Prop the corpses up against a tree and set the tree on fire, before long the corpses will burn away leaving a few bones and a skull.

Rip a guy's hand off and toss it at him, I've had it run a guard through once.

Dwarven fly-fishing. Throwing live flies at carp while chasing them down the river.

The *large serrated steel disk* strikes the Raven in the head, tearing apart the muscle, shattering the skull, and tearing apart the brain!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!
The Raven has been knocked unconcious!

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

I would simply like to say that it is interesting that, in any context, this advice is being given with a straight face.

I wonder if anyone gotten kills from throwing wild strawberries, sun berries, fisher berries, or the like. I just hope the NPCs don't know how to defend themself from fresh fruit. (in which case, switch to a pointed stick)
