Summary0004304: Human caravan is glitchy
DescriptionThe first weird thing was that the caravan had for sale a barrel of 10 "liquid". I bought the "liquid", but have no idea what to do with it.
The second thing is that one of the caravan's guards won't leave. There's nothing blocking him, and he's not injured. He hasn't even been in combat. He's just standing there at the east edge of the map for no reason.

Also, something strange happened a couple of seasons ago: After a siege that killed almost all my dwarves, I had a lot of goblins and ogres in cage traps. I deconstructed my well, created a 1-square pit zone where the well had been, and assigned all the goblins to it. Several goblins fell to their deaths, but two managed to avoid falling down the well, and began roaming around my fort. As soon as I realized this, I removed the pit zone and drafted a squad to kill those 2 goblins. Is pitting a monster supposed to have a chance of failing?
