Description
If you need some clue on what the heck is going on here, check this out: My Little Fortress: ApplejackIn short, this is Dwarf Fortress running the pony mod. Funny stuff happens.
So Sugaryland has been going strong for 8 years now, which by Dwarf Fortress standards is quite a lot! In that year though, my first really dangerous forgotten beast showed up, who put the hurt on my military and a few of the residents.
Just prior to that though, Rainbow Dash got caught outside during a siege and broke a leg. Applebloom was one of my better doctors, and she got her patched up pretty quickly.
So Scootaloo wanders by Rainbow Dash just as the two of them blunder into a forgotten beast that squeezed its way up my stairwell. One case of halitosis later, they're both wallowing in their blood alongside a few of my soldiers (I name all of my soldiers after weapons and armor: an espadon or espandon is a type of sword, and that soldier proves that soldier ponies are stupid).
The marksponies took it out just after Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo died. Pinkie Pie then turned it into a nice batch of masterpiece forgotten beast tallow muffins!
The scene is a bit improvised, of course, since Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash just happened to wander by each other at the time. Oh, and Applebloom can't follow her own advice. She wandered outside during the next siege and lost a leg. She didn't survive to get lectured though.
2 of the "mane" 6 down. Who's next?

Yep. MLF: Fluttershy
Too bad I never got around to making more of these of the canon ponies who died hilariously in this fort.

The deaths may seem terrible.
But dwarf fortress tends to be worse.
It has happend on one occasion that a gaint scorpion ripped off the arm of a recruit and grabbed it with his tail. beat the rest of the military to death with said arm causing a friend of one of the soldiers to go berzerk which causes a lever to be pulled that that lets magma loose in the outside world and eventually floods the entire planet.
This tends to mean you had !!fun!!.
Also an alternative of poison vapors from forgotten beasts is the skin rotting off and making the afflicted dwarfs to feel no pain. The players consider this EXTREMELY usefull and like to capture these beasts to get the vapors in everybody's lungs.

Or melting out your siege operators' eyes so they don't run from enemies, hehe. Dwarf Fortress: where abominations against nature and ethics are just another day in the life of a dwarf.

I leave my crossbow bolts out in evil biome rain so I can use it as a chemical weapon. Also, I deliberately put my tanner's shop in a reanimation biome, so when the skin starts trying to kill everyone I can cut it to pieces for extra leather.

You have outdone cupcakes. Good job.
I once had three miner Pegasi mining out a complex well system only for them to fall 30 units into the water source and die. The severed body part were everywhere and the water went putrid. After that I said to myself: Good thing I have boozes and sea water. lol
Before they fell to their death I said they will be all right; they got wings and they have that underground river to break the fall. Man, was I wrong. 0-0

Lol, thanks. Dwarf Fortress is pretty good at coming up with horrible ways for the dwarves / ponies to die.
That kind of surprises me about the pegasi not flying though. I've had a lot of issues with pegasi and flying (mostly getting stuck on walls), but I would have assumed that they would fly if they were falling.
Guess I know better than to try and dig out a channel in the caverns now, heh.

I once built a well over the ocean and the ponies used it. But the waves made it ease for them to fall in the water; I had no casualties but I built a “fence” to keep it from happening. The Pegasi got stuck on the top of it at this one spot. Half the population was up on that wall thirsting to death with a well just three to four slots away. Death by stupidity.
I have a lot more stories. Everyone on this world should have a story about Dwarf Fortress.

Interesting, I didn't know you could build functional wells on an ocean tile. Does that work for murky pools too?
And yeah, I had a few pegasi thirst to death on my walls. I eventually had to build a ceiling over my outside fort to keep them off the walls (and the evil pegasi out). And to keep my stupid pegasus marksponies inside instead of charging the enemy.
I agree that everyone should have a DF story. No game tells stories like this one does.

More about wells here: [link]
Funny that I found wells over sea water to be the best wells to make with little to no trouble; mostly when your alcohol is running low. I built them over all kinds of things even magma; truly it was water before one of the miners opened up a magma vain into the water bastion below the well. “My stupid little Urist McMiney pony.” Truly I think a well will work over any source of water to different effects: Stagnant water will cause bad thoughts, and cause infection if used to clean wounds. Magma/Lava seems to have effects like removal of the well or causing a fire of Armageddon levels(crashing the game).
Natural I over-think defenses(even on a paradise island) so building roofs over everything(including the sky) was a no brainier. Sadly the “Pegasi deathtrap” was cause by me tying to build a roof over the well. Many refused to do it(error in pathfinding*) but maybe some of them had brain.
Also this onetime I built a bridge over a aboveground river… Half of the population could fly. Oh now you use your wings.
*You has wings, why u no fly? U think u are a dorf?

Funny, I've read through the wiki, but I still didn't know you could do that safely. I went through all of the trouble of building a pump to purify a murky pool for my hospital well.
Ah well, you learn something new about DF every day.
I'm still learning to play with magma, so I'll probably have one of those apocalyptic fires in my near future. Twilight Sparkle is my top engineer, maybe she'll end up in the magma before it's all over, heh.

“I went through all of the trouble of building a pump to purify a murky pool for my hospital well.”
That was the right thing to do because wounds may have got infected otherwise… I don’t trust “technology” so I shy away from pumps and levers; luck seems to be the only thing I have on Dwarf Fortress. Funny because outside of the game I must of broke a magical gypsy mirror in a past life.
I find it humorous that with everything bad happening migrants love to come join the fun. Bring booze and food; we all out! The world(well) is on fire come join the Bar-B-Q! Come watch the Venus Pegasi Trap at work!

Lol, indeed. I lost like 40 ponies to a siege and Forgotten Beast attack, and yet more migrants show up "despite the danger". What are they expecting at Sugaryland? There ain't much sugar here!

Sadly all(most) Forgotten Beasts were just that “forgotten.” Never seen one because they was all(most) killed when we hit the Age of Twilight; humorous name that had me confused as to if it was named for the pony or because the civilizations’ population was under a dozen or two each after three thousand years. Other times it was the Age of the Buffalo/Zebra and they happen to Zerging the Beasts. Same with sieges; as living on a “paradise” island because invaders can’t build ships, and always playing as (Gay)Rainbow Ponies may have had something about that.
