With your +5, you're an undead lead FB with deadly dust breath attacks.

Ironically, I am.

[Eric Blank]

It has been suggested that dwarves are simply entirely immune to the effects of lead poisoning (In Kobold Quest II to boot!), and so it may be possible constant exposure has genetically altered them to be short and stupid. (Though they're identically idiotic to every other creature in DF.) Other such adaptations could have occurred through exposure to all the other dangers of living underground, like coal dust, inhalation of toxic gases (unfortunately not ignition of flammable gases yet...), and oxygen deprivation. That's what the beard is for you know; toxins in the blood and other tissue are transported there to the thick hairs, whereupon filling completely they are shed. They just don't need much oxygen anymore, it's just that submersion in water reduces their blood alcohol content too low. (The active ingredient in the detoxifying process!)
Dwarf beard hairs are an immensely powerful poison due to the toxins trapped within them, thus goblins seek to capture or kill as many dwarves as they can.

Elves on the other hand are just smoking their rope reed all the time. Explains why they see nothing wrong with sending people/walking to their deaths in your halls. I had considered the similarities at one point as well.

Finally someone comes to my way of thinking!

...but you need to come a long way to get to my drunk skill.

So basically if someone brewed dwarf beard into something it would be the most powerful poison of all time?

Could it be that the goblins capture children to "work" on their secret dwarf-beard farms?

And what if an elf mistook some dwarven beard for rope reed?

Possibly instigated by the original owner of said beard 

[Joshua IX]

It's so obvious! You know how the elves have tons upon tons of "Rope Reed"? The rope reed must be pot! Pot can be used to make rope, clothing and medicine, so that must also be why they live so long!

It's so clear now!

You mean hemp I guess...

Hmm...

Maybe, though I can't imagine the elves burning anything that they've spawned from mother nature...

[Angel Of Death]

They're not hippies. They're corporate giants who intend to make a monopoly on wood. Hence the reason why they hate it when you chop down trees and demand rediculous prices.

That's where the dwarves come in.

With magma.

Let me fix that...

That's where the magma comes in.

And !!DWARVES!!.

I love the Bay12 forums....

[GreatWyrmGold]

And dorfs have crack/crystal meth? There must be SOMETHING in all that booze. Maybe lead.

Maybe it's just booze? And their brains have turned into booze soaked pigtail cloth?

...Dwarves have brains made out of pig tails?
That probably sounds even weirder out of context.

That was my point 

[Oliolli]

So elves are junkies and dwarves are highly toxic and dying of lead poisoning. Any dark secrets for the humans, kobolds or goblins?
