Possessed Child?

This should be good...haven't seen this before.  The kid has claimed the craftsdwarf shop.  Talk about "Bring your kid to work day".  LOL

No, they went to Hel, where they lead a bleak existence in cold and darkness. Valhalla is reserved for valiant warriors.

It can affect anyone who can work: I remember it hit a baby who literally JUST became a kid, like same announcement almost. His father was my legendary weaponsmith, and his son became a legendary armorsmith... The helmet he made had his father forging a sword on it...!  :'( Theeeeeen they all got killed by a dragon.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

I thought children, having no moodable skills, would always take a craftsdwarf shop and always make a wood, stone, or bone craft item.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Well, it didn't end well it appears.  He went insane.  I had stone in the shop...guess he couldn't carry it?  LOL

Oh yeah, forgot people still play vanilla.  :P I've given all races some natural skill: elves, archery, humans, mason, and dwarves, all metal working crafts.

I've never seen a dwarf unable to carry a load, no matter how heavy. They just move very slowly. But a moody dwarf won't go insane if it's in the process of gathering materials, assuming it can get to them, no matter how slowly it has to move. Did you look at the shop with 'q' to see what things the dwarf wanted? It was probably needing something other than stone.

It could be he needed cloth. I often find craft dwarves want cloth for anything.

Yes, they like making stuff that menaces with spikes of cave silk spider cloth.

This is an ashen cup.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is decorated with ash.

It was worth a whopping 2400 urist.

The children in my forts always build figurines, I guess they really want to have dolls instead of the nothing that's usually there for them...

Also, doesn't possession mean they don't gain any skill?

They can be taken by any mood.  Mine withdrew from society, so ended up as a legendary wood crafter after that cup was made.
