It seems the being that possessed the first dwarf in my new fort is afraid of people. He's been sitting in his (well not his, I only assign rooms to special people) room standing on his bed not eating or drinking for a few (ingame) days. Is this normal? Or is there a bug?

Also:

For Elven Caravans, heh heh heh. Until I get lava of course

[Mungrul]

If he's just stood around, it means you don't have the type of workshop he requires to get his mood on.

[Urist McBeanie]

Any way to find out what kind of workshop he wants?

Also if I don't get the right workshop in time will he just starve to death?

[luppolo]

try with ones associated with his profession name or highest skill

also dfhack

he will either go berserk (if fey mood) or go insane

[Urist McBeanie]

Looks like he needs a Clothier's Workshop, hope this isn't completely useless.

Clothes are excellent for exporting in bulk and now dwarves will wear them.

[Girlinhat]

If you can set up a clothing industry, it's great to keep your dwarves clothed and to export for mass profits.

[Lexx]

Plus with clothing thoughts being back in the game its another way to keep said dwarves happy.

[Urist McBeanie]

Damn, he went insane and I had to lock him in his room. Oh well.

[Urist McBeanie]

He just got dehydrated and died, in his room, I un-forbade the door and no one buried him even though I have a tomb underground. Though it's not assigned to him now. The room he was in is full of miasma and to prevent his mourning wife from getting disgusted I had to forbid the door again. Why aren't they burying him?

[Tharwen]

I think you've misunderstood 'possessed' in this case.

It means possessed by the idea for a unique item, not possessed by an ethereal being. What you have there is a Strange Mood, so (as people have already said here) he won't move until he gets a workshop to build his special item in.

[slothen]

they probably aren't burying him because the door is locked 

[Urist McBeanie]

The door is unlocked at this point and the corpse is still rotting and attracting flies.

[masquerine]

Did you have the forbid-on-death on? If the door is unlocked and they can reach him but won't bury him, then his body must be forbidden. You can unforbid it with d b c. If they still won't bury him for some reason, try removing his tomb setting and just allowing the coffin to accept burial. They should put him in his place then.

[Urist McBeanie]

Looks like removing the tomb designation fixed it, so he just has a 1x1 tomb. Too bad.
