You're gonna "the WHAT" on one of the most normal monsters in the game? Your head is gonna literally explode when you encounter one of the entirely RNG creatures. lol
My favorite I've personally ran into while playing was a demon made of smoke. Basically the fog monster from Lost. Except that it wasn't as terrifying as it sounded from its description because smoke is, you know, super easy to cut. He died basically by being wafted away by an infant.
I did say it's my first playthrough, lol. Thus far my biggest enemy has been myself, and a hungry mysterious vampire.
I also made this meme before I even attempted to fight, and once I did, was pretty relieved at how easy the fight was. But without any context it's an intimidating popup.
There's fun stuff you can do with that vampire if you ever figure out who it is. They make great slaves because they live forever and don't need to eat.
Figuring out who it is can be hard tho. You really have to watch the logs or build in ways that they can't feed without being witnessed.
And if you do want them alive, make sure your hammerer just has something weak because if you have the justice system set up, they usually will sentence a vamp to death. Adamantine makes a great non-lethal hammer. It's so light, blunt weapons become foam bats.
Yeah, and it's not helping me interrogate witnesses when the names in the justice tab don't match the names in the interrogation selector. I think I read there's an option for that but couldn't find it easily. The justice bit definitely has me a bit confused. I'm attempting to set guards up near the place it keeps happening in hopes someone will see something. Not sure if that's the play, or if I should just try to outpace the vampire's hunger and live with it lol.
You may not actually have the accused in custody to interrogate.
My understanding of the justice system may also be out of date. I have not put nearly as much time into the Steam version as I have the legacy versions preceding it.
Df is really hard to get the hang of. Keep at it and let the "fun" commence!
Don't forget to build your trade depot! (Outside)
How critical is outside? Mine is inside and it doesn't seem to have caused problems.

Did you just RTFM me? Or I suppose RTFW? 😂😅 (Thanks, I'll read up there)
Haha at least DF has a really good wiki!
What others said, as long as the merchants can access it, it is fine. Merchants can't use stairs afaik so either outside or dig ramps.
I moved it outside and the big thing I noticed was that the weight limit goes way up, presumably since the cart is right there. Or my first few visits were unlucky, maybe.
