0008126: Forgotten beast scares civilians through a sealed floor in a staircase.
I have a forgotten beast in a sealed staircase (sealed with a floor), civilians keep cancelling stuff because it somehow scares them far beyond line of sight. There is no open path there (can't send the military in).

15 z-levels between beast and silly dwarf.

X = Up/Down staircase
S = Stone
_ = Floor
B = Beast
C = Civilian
. = too lazy to make 15 levels
Dwarf is on level 126, beast is on level 111. Just found it peculiar that it's precisely 15 levels.
No tags attached.

Ok, now my dwarves managed to pass that block somehow.. FUN. (Maybe it's just me being a noob)

Reminder sent to: Downstream

If you set an issue as "private", nobody except managers and administrators will be able to see it.
Also, a save (preferably uploaded to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]) would be helpful in this case. Are you sure there's nothing else nearby that could be frightening your dwarves instead?

Sorry, I wanted to preview my post.

No, it specifically says cancel because of forgotten beast.
