I've got a problem with my fortress that I can't figure out how to resolve. I built a wall surrounding my underground farm to protect it from Forgotten Beasts. The top of this wall is connected to the edge of the map, which apparently means monsters can enter the map on top of the wall. A zombie troll happened to enter the map this way, and it is ruining all of the the work in the caverns. The troll can't actually do anything though since it is on top of the wall. This sounds good, but it also means my military can not reach it. I tried to construct a staircase to reach the troll, but none of the builders can go near it without getting sacred and running off. So I'm currently at a loss as to what to do to resolve the situation. Any advice?

Marksdwarves?

Is that the only way? I'm not particularly fond of them. Can't get them to work right, plus nobody in my fort is skilled with a bow.

perhaps a couple squares over build a platform and set up a ballista, or an area for your marksdwarves to fire on the troll safely? Just make sure that they are with in range and on the same z-level

Could you drop a cave-in on its head?

That might ruin his farm....besides it sounds like this farm is outdoors?

No, it's in the caverns.

Engineering a cave in to use on an area Dwarves enter sounds like a bad idea.

Not that it matters now. The Zombie Troll apparently got bored and wandered off the map.

Call Toady One,He should ban the troll.

Roof of your farm to avoid such incidents in future.   Also:  many FB's fly, learning this the hard way is fun.

Gotta wall up the caverns from top to bottom if you don't want that happening. Once I had TWO GCS on top of a wall I was building. Scared the piss out of me.
