A vanilla vampire in a MDF fortress. What to do?
« on: April 14, 2014, 11:47:56 pm »

So I got a vampire dwarf, not the one trained in magic schools, but a vanilla vampire, hiding himself until drained a hauler. What can I do with him?
Wall him, and appoint him bookkeeper and manager seams not so fun.
Should I train him in dark magic? But that does not benefit much because he is already a vampire.
If I turn him into a golem, is he still a vampire? A vampire golem seeking dwarven blood sounds fun.
Does the vampire trait remains if he transformed, e.g. guild/garrison/sorcer training?
Can he drink boozebelly goat blood to serve his alcohol need?

book keeper, manager . lord of his own little palace of levers. arrange an unfortunate accident. que up a magma shower.feed him to goblins(unarmored military), feed him goblins (armored miltiary) make him your legendary smith, can make stuff by dumping items he needs down a hole. and he can dump the products out a chute for the rest of the fort... punish/reward dwarves with a stay in their palace... have him eat everyone in the fort and lock migrants in the palace hopeing for more vampires?

I like to burrow mine into some restricted, unused corner (I call them "slums"); when a non-vampire dwarf starts to piss me off, I assign them to the same burrow and wait for sweet justice. You can also use the build-up of "unsolved" murders to send trouble makers to the hammerer if for whatever reason, they won't go to the slum-burrow.

And what if I turn hum into a Witch Hunter? Will he sanctify himself? Or will he lost vampirism during the transmutation?

Yes, I added that to throw people off. Vampires somwtimes need to eat... makes the identification harder.

But my vampire won't eat anything. So he is unhappy for months, have happy thoughts only from admired the armorstand. Every time I command him to kill something, he becomes more unhappy, complains about the draft and being attacked. In a fight against antmen ambushers he got 2 levels in axe and 13 levels in fighting. And all of them fled. Yes 13 levels in one battle. I think he was just standing in there until the steel platemail scared the antmen away.
He is too slow and need some alcohol. I've noticed sometimes it rains booze and mead. So if I put him in open space will he drink some alcoholic rains?
