Is there a fortification that your dwarves can see them through?

If not, then it would be helpful for you to upload the save demonstrating this issue to http://dffd.wimbli.com/

this sounds identical to my own report of 0000362

I actually do still have saves for this one if you want. I always leave seasonal backups on, I set this one aside after I basically lost this fortress to mass insanity.

After trying to connect the stairway to the ground (and failing at about 2 levels of open space from the ground) The forgotten beast basically interrupted ALL tasks, which left all my dwarves trapped since this was the main staircase into the fortress. This soon resulted in mass idleness and insanity, I quit playing the fort after most everybody died and it was clear that they were now all too insane to recover from this tragedy.

unfortunatly i dont have the save anymore. i DFhacked lava onto it till it moved. Doctor thats pretty much exactly what happends. no sight to the beast at all. he just sits there camping a stairwell and traps all of your dwarfs. if this happends to anyone i suggest grabing DFhack and dump lava on it till it moves
