They believe that trolls are the only livestock anyone should use

Freezing water veeeeeeery briefly oscillates in temperate right down to Absolute Zero. The water itself doesn't wink out of existence because of a little thing called thermodynamics, obviously.

Why do dwarves climb trees to escape giant birds?
Because the giant birds weigh too much and if they land in the tree, the tree bends and breaks and the bird crashes and dies.

Every dwarf brings booze, thinking someone else will bring the food.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

I've seen something yellow in the water after they were drowning and got out. Try channeling an aquifer several levels above a river.

Why is everyone so afraid of everything all of the sudden?
Obviously, because it is predictable.

Why don't dwarves hit anything else except head with a helmet after dozens of ineffective hits and just fall over-exerted?

Was it their horse? If so, it's because that horse is actually the demon in charge of their civ, and they don't want to risk it. If it was your horse, they figure if your random wandering critters are badass enough to dodge crossbow bolts, what the hell are your dwarves going to do?

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

The siege operators aren't running, they suddenly realized they need to reload and then forgot to come back

Why do mechanisms work.
