A few in-game weeks ago, I got an announcement saying "Urist McNoblood, Dwarven Dwarf has been found dead, completely drained of blood!". I just thought "what the hell?" and went on with the game, thinking there was some sort of animal that killed him outside.
One in-game week later I got the same announcement. I got kinda worried.
Just now I got the same announcement again. I wiki'd it, and it turns out I have a vampire wandering in my fortress.
I noticed that everytime a dwarf died from it, its body was in my dorm. This also verifies that "vampires will only attack sleeping dwarves", as said on the wiki.
Now I am watching the dorm, hospital, and my nobles' bedrooms all day(theyre all on the same floor, and they fit into one screen), pausing when I need to do something else.
Its boring to play the game like that, thats no secret. But I dont want that vampire murdering off the whole fortress behind my back.
Does anyone have a reliable way to identify a vampire that doesnt involve having to keeping close watch over a specific area?

Interesting that you ask that question at this time. To prevent duplication, take a look at http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=134437.0

What exactly do you mean by "interesting"

[jcochran]

I find it interesting because a thread on the exact same subject started just a few days prior to your asking.

Thanks. I found the vamp using dwarf therapist.
I dont have access to my computer atm. I have thought of a good punishment for him :3
That is, confining him to a cage and dumping the cage into my dwarven atom smasher.

Good luck getting him into a cage, but if he's temporarily in the military, you can station him in the smashing room and proceed to flatten him.
