Best way of creating malevolent ghosts?
« on: December 15, 2015, 09:53:53 pm »
I have...
ambitions.

They involve a fortress full of murderous ghosts.

I have the dead bodies, I just need to anger the spirits.

Any ideas on how?

Inscribe slabs for the dead, build them, then demolish them.

I've built, engraved, placed, then dumped slabs of all the dead.

Is that what you mean, or is there something else I'm missing?

Keep in mind that, IIRC, also the personality of the dead creature influence the tipe of ghost created. Instead of using slabs you can also bury them then destroy the tomb.

Make sure that there is no current "honor building" for the ghost; even if a slab is deconstructed, another slab for the same dwarf or a coffin containing its corpse will prevent rising as a ghost.
