I built a fortress near a volcano.
I started to harvest the volcano's magma goodness, and had no trouble until a magma man and TWO fire imps decided that it would be fun to set fire to everything.
They started with a sneak attack, killing my best magma forge operator. Fine. I just stationed my military force there, so they wouldn't come back.
Months went by with no further attack. By then, my fortress had grown quite a bit, and I didn't want to waste any of my militia's time with a pointless task. Minutes after the squad leaves, the magma man and imps are back, killing two engravers (I was detailing the stone EVERYWHERE in my fortress), all three of my furnace/forge workers. And a baby. A BABY.
Needless to say, a vicious struggle ensued, burritos the magma man in pieces, the imps riddles with arrows, two dogs burnt to a crisp, and a newly blind marksman, whom was crippled for life, lying in his bed to this day. I keep getting messages every other minute or so saying "Farming Job Cancelled: (whatever the hell his name is) has passed out from pain."
