If you throw a magma-safe cage into magma with something inside, will what's inside survive at the bottom of the magma forever?

Can you imprison people at the bottom of a magma pool this way? That's gotta be pretty high-security

Oh, and Jones was there too.

I'm pretty sure everything in the cage gets burnt up, but not 100% sure.

Also, forgot to mention, there should be no wall tiles available immediately adjacent to the pit hole below it. That is, there should be at least one layer where the pit below the hole is 9 tiles large, centered on the hole. This is because some critters are so good at climbing that they can grab a hold of the wall as they fall past it, and then climb back up.

Do dwarves still rip off their flesh and cook it?

They never saw it coming, those poor delicious bastards...

I always place the cages in my archery training arena connected to a lever with a bridge to block the entrance. 1 tile hallway with fortifications around it makes for some good ranged squads after a couple sieges

it's pretty tedious to set up the levers though

You could just use the pit trick described above to dump into the target zone, no levers required.

If you want your gobbos to survive the drop, remember to line the floor with something light. Fall damage is calculated as a boulder of the floor material falling on you from the height of your drop. (... and this is actually not one of the most strange mechanics in the game.)

From the same height of drop, it's possible for the victim to just splash when they impact a gold floor, or gently touch down with hardly a bruise if they impact a featherwood floor. There is about a 200x difference in the force of impact.
