I have a wounded macedwarf from my last siege who has several red and yellow wounds to the spine and upper/lower body. After the battle ended he retreated to my fort, while forgetting that wounded dwarfs set off traps.

Now he's stuck in a cage and I can't figure out how to free him.

My question is: how do I free him? Is it worth freeing him right away, since I've seen dwarfs feed him? Will he heal inside the cage?

Build the cage. Attach a lever. Pull the lever.

Somehow I couldnt figure that out...

Since the part of how to get him out has been answered, I'd say that with a yellow/red spine wound, it's probably not worth freeing him unless you need a guard/royal guard.

He won't ever move again with a broken spine, and will spend his time in bed trying to heal it, and he will be kept alive just as fine in the cage.(I've heard of moods forcing dwarves with a broken spine to move, but he's military, and I believe military cant get moods, recruits not included)

In the end it all comes down to this,
 do you want him to spend the rest of his live in a cage or in bed?

[Quietust]

Personally, I'd let him out of the cage, let somebody carry him to bed, then lock the door until he starves. No point in making other dwarves waste their time bringing him food and water.

You could as easily build the cage in the bedroom and then lock the door. It'd cut down on miasma.

[Quietust]

True - it'd even prevent his corpse from rotting, since cages seem to have that ability in 40d.

id trade him to the caravan (not sure if that game will let you *prob not*)
