Swimcastle - 306 Early Spring by Deozaan

Map Description:

After surviving the siege without a dwarven casualty several skeletal wolves showed up and chomped down on a dwarf while my soldiers had a contest to see which of them could get to the trouble the slowest.

Point of Interest: Corpse - Morul Sigunusen

Morul was killed by a skeletal wolf.

Immediately after he was dead, the soldiers came and stood guard over his body, refusing to go to their other stations. In other words, they stood around and gaped at the corpse while the skeletal wolves ran wild, chasing the other dwarves around. - Deozaan

Not accidents, just my defenses working against the goblin ambushers and sieges. I've started a wall project to protect my fortress from all the sieges now.

Add some POIs that point at something else besides the graveyard, those were pretty boring :(

16. Coffin - Traders - Unib Degelalnis

( 304 Early Winter to onwards )
This is the resting place of Unib Degelalnis, Hammerdwarf.
Unib was ready for a change of career so he could stay home with his wife and three kids, but he took one last caravan protection job that promised a big score to some new startup fortress called Swimcastle.
"It probably has a moat with a name like that," he thought it would be all too easy.
Though when he arrived to Swimcastle he saw there clearly was no moat protecting the fortress. But all seemed calm and well, even the haunted forest. That's when the ambush happened!
Ack! Filthy goblins! Piece of cake! Unib deftly swung his hammer, crushing their skulls. Unib raised his hammer high in the air, poised to make the final blow to the last goblin. Just as he began the downward swing the goblin hit him in the right arm, causing Unib to hit himself in the head with the hammer, knocking himself unconscious on the stone-fall traps which were set off, killing both Unib and the goblin.
(or at least that's the story told to his wife and kids) - Deozaan
16. Coffin - Zan Omalath

Δ 16. Coffin - Tekkud Adilmamgoz

( 306 Early Spring to onwards )
This is the resting place of Tekkud Adilmamgoz, Peasant.

It is believed that Tekkud got a crazy idea to make a legendary item but, failing to find the necessary materials, became increasingly obsessed with his failure to make something of his life rather than remain a peasant.

This obsession led to a deep depression during which Tekkud refused to eat or drink, thus he died shortly thereafter due to thirst. - Deozaan
13. Waterfall Well

( 304 Early Winter to onwards )
This well uses a pressure plate below it to measure how much water is in the cistern below. When it runs low, it opens a hatch in the ceiling, allowing water to fall through the top of the well into the cistern.

This also creates mist, which makes dwarfs happy. - Deozaan
