So, I got a Quest to go Kill a Vampire Named Ibu Disembowledconfederates, who supposedly Killed fifty-five People in his lust for blood.

So, After I find The place where he is supposed to be, I realize, First, He's In a Temple
Second, This Temple is right next to A major Fortress
Third, The Vampire is in charge of the Temple.
So, before I accuse him of being a Night Creature, I ask Him about the Place.
Basically, He tells Me something about the Pool of the Temple, Which was the Bottom floor if you don't know about the temple.
The Pool is One Z level Tall, And I drank It for whatever reason (nothing happened)
Anyways, So then I accuse him of Being a night creature, He gets mad, and Then Within Two seconds is in the water, Gets stabbed, and then Drowns Shortly after (or dies from Wounds, i dont know.)
Oh, And i do believe the Water was holy, which was probably what killed him.
Then I Started Exploring the Place.
The Architecture is Amazing For Randomly Generated.
But, Soon Things Get Away from the Nice little Human Temple.
It started with a Room With some Coffins and some Corpses.
Okay, So what, Temples Usually Have Coffins in real life (this is the first temple I have found in DF adventure Mode, also.)
I keep moving, And suddenly, I realized this place was filled with corpses.
All 55 Of Ibu Disembowledconfederates's Kills were in this temple, as shown in this photo:

Obviously all the Kills aren't in the picture, but they are probably all there.  I Didn't count
I just Found this Interesting, So Thus, I shared it.

Temples have catacombs.  People are buried there.  They aren't necessarily the victims of the vampire, that's just where they bury people.  Those are just any random historicals that happened to die in town.

and you should really go to some old churches, mainly in europe, where you look up at all the carvings and colored windows, just to look down and see you're standing on someones grave slab... The important ones are usually roped off. Quite a few of them have catacombs for, well, grave space was at a premim, so after a few years remains that wouldn't decompose were dug up to be stored in the catacombs, unless your decendants pay a lot or you were famous/important enough to get a final resting place in the ground.

So yeah, pretty historically correct, sometimes.

Holy water? For reals? I kinda doubt it- he prolly just bled out/died of wounds. Vampires don't drown. Just wondering if anyone can confirm the existence of holy water.

[NW_Kohaku]

I doubt it - those temples are something around 10 z-levels deep holes in the ground with only 1 z-level of water, so he probably just died of fall damage. Each z-level of water cancels out only 1 z-level of fall damage, so it's like falling 9 z-levels, which is more than enough to kill most creatures.

The Corpse Was One Z level Down, I could See Just by Looking.
I don't Know if he said it Was Holy Water Exactly, But he said there was something special about the Water, I forgot the Exact Conversation about it, Though.
I also Didn't Know those were Catacombs, Thank you for Informing Me.

[Lordinquisitor]

The priests always claim something about the water- It hs no effect, though. Still, in a game like Dwarf Fortress imagination is required and enhances th game.

I'm not trying to offend, but your random use of capital letters is making it a bit of a pain to read your post.

One.
You Dont Have To Talk In All Caps It Looks ReTarDed.

two.
those arent his kills, catacombs only have peasant skeletons without names, as far as i'm aware.
The water isnt holy, he died of wounds, since vampires cant drown.
Else it would have read 'holy' water or something when you 'L'ooked at it.

Aye, holy water isn't a thing yet. On the other hand, this game is all about emergent storytelling, so claim it! A vampire drowning in a holy water bath would probably look like dry ice in water =D

[Trapezohedron]

Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to make a 'bless water' reaction that makes holy water, which has adverse effects against the undead, especially vampires (necrosis, paralysis, etc.)...
