Ghost Buster!
« on: March 23, 2012, 09:10:58 am »

On Tunulpumik, Ghostly Brewer has been murdered by Curo Gasomebe!
Cuo Gasomebe has begun a mysterious construction!

A dwarf in a fell mood can murder ghosts.  I can't wait to see if he makes something out of ghostly dwarf leather.  Also of interest, will be seeing if the murered ghost returns, or- better yet- produces a dwarven ghost ghost.

Documented before. Your fell dwarf will go grab another dwarf after realising the raw materials he brought are ethereal.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Le fu?

I knew that a dwarf in a fell mood was a terrifying vision of beard and rage, but I had no idea that they were capable of rending the dead.

So you're short, but are you brutish and mean?

If the ghost stays dead-dead then it has, at the very least, practical applications.

There was no second murder.

There are plenty of corpses available, because I've been having issues, with necromancers and haven't managed to inter all the products of conflict (just safely stockpiled them under a mountain).  Maybe he grabbed one of the corpses laying around the butcher's shop he'd claimed, which happened to be right between the refuse stockpile and graveyard stockpile.

Also, small inaccuracy in the first post:  not dwarves, but humans.  This is a human fortress.

Whoa. This made me realize that dorfs are, in many ways, like life in the state of nature. Poor, nasty, brutish and short.

Quote from: SmileyMan
I got fed up with my fortress, so I decided to kill everyone (abandon is for elves) with a cave-in.

OK, cave-ins were always pretty deadly, but with the new falling object damage they are downright brutal.  As far as I can make out from the logs, many people were killed by the flying bodies of other victims.  One baby's corpse ricocheted off three other people, two walls and the floor.
