Will this work:

Code: [Select]
■■■
■§■
■^■
+++


■  -  Wall
§  -  Leash
^  -  Weapon Trap
+  -  Empty floor


And place a lever somewhere connected to the weapon trap.
The trapped animal (or prisoner) can only stand in trapped spot, and so will be killed. Works/doesn't work, preserves bodyparts/doesn't?
They can also stand on the same tile as the restraint. But will eventually wander onto the trap tile.

a two level chamber, supported by engraved columns. Build a well, along with a pit channeled down into the magma sea. Along the edges of the chamber, set non binned stockpiles of all your artifacts, large gems, and totems made from the skulls of enemies. Of course, make the floor of natural ore, hematite being a good choice. For a bonus, anyone getting water from the well, for injured dwarfs, will tell the wounded, of its marvels, and how Armok cares for them

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

Whatever you decide on, be sure to post screenshots when it's done.

You could build an altar that functions as a graveyard, so the bodies of your fallen dwarves get put there on lit de parade until you have built a tomb for them.

Yeah, that is a little too big for me to do now... That'd require thousands of stone blocks, and to keep it all  nice and clean I don't have multicolored walls.


I ended up in making a small 2x3 room with non-pet-passable doors. It has been filled with menacing spikes, and instantly kills all extra puppies I put there. But the bodyparts stay to rot there, nobody picks them up even if I try to set them to be dumped. All my dwarves ignore Rotten Lizard Remains and Stray Puppy right front leg, or their whole bodies (mutilated and non-mutilated). I've build my houses outside alongside the church, but i have roofs so the rooms are indoors. My inn is filled with vermin remains, nobody picks them up.

Here is the Pic:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I have spent so much time on my church that my town is pretty small, but I've moved on to making real bedrooms for everyone.

The bloody room in the church is a sacrificial pit, I'm planning on making it golden but blood might just stain it so.. Not sure if I should, I have +100 gold ores though so it doesn't hurt.

The inn, and the area in front of ym church are filled with the remains as can be seen. I set them to be dumped - nobody picks them up. I set a rock to be dumped - Instant dumping process.

I agree. A 'church' sounds too tame and modern.

This is because I suck at architecture.

This is an enscribed adamantine dwarf-leg hammer.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes OF SHEER AWESOMENESS.

No, make something that preserves the skulls. 2 in one.

Blood for the blood god and skulls for the skull throne



This is a temple to !!ARMOK!!, not to your silly chaos gods.

And also, mod in a way to make bloodstone spikes.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD.... oh wait
