I know there was a similar thread long ago, but I'm to lazy to necro it. I'm looking for general suggestions and ideas.
I just started playing 31.12 (finally considered it bug-free enough to be playable) and encountered my first FB. It was a fire-breathing worm with aqua scales. I sent my marksdwarves squad down and deconstructed one of the walls protecting my cave farm. The worm immediately set out for the fortress, only to be ambushed by the marksdwarves squad at a rock formation just outside. My marksdwarves were equipped with iron bolts- at least two of them were. They shredded the beast's scales, but couldn't penetrate. As they fired, my militia commander jumped in, having dropped all his bolts despite being assigned a stack, and hit it with his maple crossbow.
Guess how well that went.
Alas, bravery was wasted as the beast bit the commander in half. And was promptly killed by a bolt to the head from the new commander.
My question is: what kind of a tomb should I make for the poor brave fool? I have a legendary mason and carpender, and a decent blacksmith and metalcrafter. I don't have a gem industry, and only have a small amount of valuable metal (platinum). I'm up to my ears in iron and coal. I have no surface magma, and I've only breached the second cavern layer(there's a frikkin lake right where I was going to put my spiral staircase!).
I'm tempted to dig him a tomb in the rock formation next to where he fell. I have a masterpiece cinnibar coffin laying around somewhere. I want a worthy tomb for the one that could have been a legend, but gave his life in a brave futile attempt to save his people.
Any suggestions?
