One of the immigrants to my fortress was a dwarf calling herself Vucar Lartosid, Dwarf Thresher elementalist. She was older than the world (I only use 125 turns of history during world generation, and her age was given as something like 153 years), and had many former civilizations....
In the winter at the end of our second year, my expedition leader was sleeping, with the meowkin diplomat in her quarters, waiting for her to wake up and finish their meeting. Shortly afterward, the meowkin was seen storming out of the fortress in disappointment, and a mayor was elected. The corpse of my former expedition leader was found, drained of blood. There were no witnesses.
I built a slab to memoralize her, and it says on the slab that she was "drained of blood by the dwarf vampire Lorbam Domainmined". Needless to say, none of my dwarves go by that name.
I looked at Vucar again, and it said that she was suffering from alcohol deprivation. Well, that was enough evidence for me. I assigned her to be the military captain of a brand new squad, with no uniform, replacing clothing -- which left her completely naked. I sent her into the cavern and erected a wall behind her. There wasn't any exploration to do, so I had her station herself in a medium-sized chamber. A giant mole wandered by, so I had her attack and kill the mole, which she did with a single punch to the head. After that, nothing at all happened -- no other creatures wandered by.
Eventually the mole started to decompose, and she became unhappy due to the miasma, and her lack of shoes and clothing. After a while, she went berserk.
I stationed a squad of axes and a squad of crossbows in the tunnel leading to the point where I walled up the cavern, and deconstructed the wall. I thought perhaps Vucar would charge us, but she didn't. She simply stayed in her little cave.
So, I told my military to advance toward her, to force the confrontation. Now, this is where things became interesting:
The militia commander blocks The spinning ice!
The Dwarf Thresher elementalist hurls a ball of fire!
The Dwarf Thresher elementalist throws a stone!
The militia commander blocks The spinning siltstone!
The militia commander is taken by surprise by the deafening thunder!
At this point, the moss of the cavern floor was on fire. The militia commander was the first to arrive, and was caught in the blaze, and died shortly afterward:
The Dwarf Thresher elementalist grabs The militia commander by the -sheep leather waterskin- with her left lower arm!
The Dwarf Thresher elementalist punches The militia commander in the head with her right hand, bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!
Sirab Kataklor, Axedwarf has been struck down!
The second axedwarf to arrive on the scene, Doren Ilirilrom, was some distance behind, and so was not caught in the spreading fire. Vucar charged toward her, hurling more projectiles. A third axedwarf, Kogan Usenber, also arrived on the scene, and the three fought just outside the flames.
The Axedwarf hacks The Dwarf Thresher elementalist in the right foot with his -bismuth bronze battle axe-, tearing apart the fat!

The Dwarf Thresher elementalist punches The Axedwarf in the right upper arm with her right hand, bruising the muscle through the ☼winding spire fiber cloak☼!

A motor nerve has been severed!
The -bismuth bronze battle axe- has lodged firmly in the wound!
The Axedwarf hacks The Dwarf Thresher in the head with her (-steel battle axe-) and the severed part flies off in an arc!
With the flames still spreading, I ordered the squads to fall back to the tunnel leading into the caverns (several Z levels away), to wait for the fire to die out. Later, the bodies will be retrieved and interred, if possible.
