I've seen lots of stupid things from the caravan, but this was a first.

Upon departing, they took the wrong way, and went inside the fortress. That is, the mules did, the carts are still loitering in the depot...

I've had this happen horribly, horribly often in this fortress, I haven't the slightest clue why. Sometimes they do it randomly and take a small stroll through my fortress before returning to the trade depot.

But the majority of the time it's from goblin sieges wiping out the wagons, but the mules escape.

These guys just decided to stay. That's another fortress gone to hell, then... *sigh*

Deconstruct the trade depot. They'll leave as long as they're not crazy. Side benifit, any goods they had unloaded before they were chased off are free for your taking too.

Maybe not. They might still leave if you deconstruct the trade depot..

Damn did it again. Double posting. Wanted to post this yesterday but fell asleep on my keyboard..   :roll:

I had a human caravan living in my fortress for one whole year before I discovered this topic and deconstructed my trade depot.
None of them or their mules died, I don't know if they ate my food. They just seemed to wander around the dwarves' quarters (mostly seen in the bedrooms).

Deconstruction of trade depot, and they instantly head for the door and the road.

Geez, and I was just coming to find out what to do about a stuck human caravan.  All of a sudden, there were no merchants trading but there were several loitering about, and they met with the noble just fine.  The only thing I can figure is that a kobold corpse was in the middle of the road for a few minutes and screwed things up because I have a leather bin they brought ALSO stuck in the road.

Sometimes when humans hang around my fortress too long they tragically suffer from  facial magma poisoning.
