Summary0010169: Chopping trees while a dwarf is in them may trigger loyalty cascade
DescriptionI've had multiple dwarves chased up trees by kea recently, and I've tried cutting down the trees as a quick, brutal method of rescue. However, this has a chance to produce a combat report about one of the falling dwarves being hit with spinning logs "but there is no force". However, this report is in blue, and is apparently credited to the dwarf cutting the tree down (appears in their combat logs, though there is no record of throwing them). This triggers a loyalty cascade from the dwarf who chopped the tree down "attacking" the dwarves in the tree.

Other objects falling from the tree have their combat reports in red and aren't credited to the tree-cutter (falling bolts and other random items appear to be considered an unfortunate accident and nobody's fault)
Steps To ReproduceDownload the save at http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12777 [^] and you should be spawned in looking at a willow tree with 3 dwarves in it (there's another tree beside it with 1, too, but three dwarves means more chance of triggering the cascade)

Designate the tree for chopping

When the tree is cut down, look and see if you get any reports of the falling dwarves being struck by spinning willow logs. They should appear for the dwarf being struck and for the dwarf who cut the tree down.

If someone was struck, watch the military charge them and the resulting loyalty cascade that brings citizens swarming from the fort (seemingly quite a few who don't even know the fight is happening decide to sprint up and get involved)
Additional InformationReproducibility is "sometimes" because I have cut dwarves from trees before without them being struck. However, if indeed they are struck by spinning logs, they will be attacked and killed, and almost always spark a loyalty cascade (I got away with it when a mule was struck once, but the military still executed it)
