I caught some goblins in a cage trap, and they're all in a single cage now. How do I execute them?

EDIT: Nevermind, throwing them into a pond and drowning them works now.

Throwing them down deep pits with spikes at the bottom works equally well; the bigger the fall, the more damage done to the critter. Typically you'd want the pit to be over 10 Z levels and with spikes at the bottom for a definite kill.

At least, that's what I gathered from reading another recently posted thread relating to pit traps.

Good luck, hope that helps a bit.

Don't waste prisoners like that!  Use them to train your army instead.  Or at least drop them off of a supreme height so that you can butcher the remains.

Actually, if you're going that route, you'd want a pit around 8-9 z-levels with no spikes, so that they would all be horribly mangled but still alive. Then you can send in soldiers armed with training weapons to beat on them for a few months.

I tried that out. I found a cave and only ended up with 5 dead miners.

Build upwards and pit them from a great height, no need to dig downward.

Whoa, this is even better. I have a giant desert scorpion I got after the elves died.
I threw one in the pit.
When I throw the goblins in the pit, the scorpion kills them.

By the way, how can you escort goblins to said wholes?

[Urist Imiknorris]

You put the cage next to the hole.

[Urist McGyver]

And how do you force said goblin INTO the hole?

[Urist Imiknorris]

You designate it as a pit/pond zone and assign the goblin to the zone.

[Urist McGyver]

Can dwarves walk through cages?

Also, OMG! I forgot it takes 1 square, etc. Gonna drop humanoids into the PoD.
