If you're going to help people die, you might as well have !FUN! and do it in the most messed up and malicious ways possible. It's only fair for both parties.

Oh god. The DF omniverse is just one giant S&M club. I'm to go back to my magma cocoon now.

Except in DF 'S&M' is short for for Spikes, Demon, Magma.

MAGMAAAAAAAAA

Or you could add in the bone brick reaction from Battlefailed/Failcannon, and have your masons on repeat make bone bricks. Have an above-ground fortress made out of bones, and a fortress in Hell made out of wood.

Tempting, but I don't want my meager 19 dwarves going anywhere above ground where they might get hurt.  Oh, and what happened with your own examination of Swordthunders, Mego?

I've been busy. I sent off my college application today, so some of the stress is off now.

Oh dear.  A full-blown siege has turned up on my doorstep and Doren's the only one able to fight (Shen's asleep down in the Pit House).  She just hacked a troll into so many pieces with her axe that while watching it, it looked like it exploded (pieces flew off in every direction)

edit:  The siege is VERY dead.  And Doren's now at 443 Notable Kills, for anyone wondering

[Mego]

Is VERY dead a quantifiable amount? If so, what is the exact measurement?

This calls for !!Science!!

Dead is getting punched in the brain through the skull.  VERY dead is when Doren hacks a troll apart so fast that pieces go flying off in every direction almost simultaneously to the point that it looks like they exploded.  It can also be defined by a single dwarf wielding three weapons and reducing a full goblin/troll siege of about 30-odd units (including a full squad of marksgoblins) to pieces.  Lots and lots of pieces that cannot possibly be anything except dead.

Until the next update.

So... said dwarf is carrying an extra weapon in the mouth, pirate style? How's its biting skill?

Her biting skill is Accomplished, actually.

Not mouth wielding, because she can also bite enemies.
By the sound of her results, it is more like this:

That's just silly - I reckon she wields it with a prehensile beard

Have you read the experiments that were done with modded prehensile beards?
The dorfs would wield things with their beards and wear gauntlets on them, but the change also worked against them as many dorfs would bleed out after blows to the beard.

This sounds realistic enough to me.

Then what about goblin-saved dwarves who shave?

[ThatAussieGuy]

Another siege turned up - this one was ever so slightly more humiliating as it was Shen (the one-armed axelord) who dealt with it solo.  That pit's almost done now, and the SWORDTHUNDERS sign is up to the second 'D'.  I think I'm going to turn off invasions as it's just silly at this point, and I want to go get some surface wood without fearing for the nineteen dwarves getting locked outside during an ambush when Doren or Shen are nowhere nearby to help.
