In all probability the above happened during one of Tim Denee's playthroughs. Why am I convinced that is so? More fantastical things have happened. Check out the guy's story about the near-demise of Bronzemurder, another of his fortresses: http://bronzemurder.timdenee.com/.




You can download this game from: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Make sure to download the Lazy Newb Pack, which contains various mods, including Stonesense, which converts Dwarf Fortress' ASCII graphics to an isometric 8-bit-esque view that's easier on the eyes:
