Not sure about the combat stuff still.  This dwarf has been lying there being stabbed by a goblin pikeman for quite a while now:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The goblin won't leave her alone because she's not dead yet and none of the other dwarves will go past the goblin.  This is a fairly new fort so I don't have much of a military yet.  I drafted a couple more dwarves into the squad but the goblin turned around and slaughtered them and then went back to poking Moldath with his pointy stick.  She has several arterial wounds, as well as the goblin having twisted his pike in her upper torso several times but hasn't bled out for way too long.

She's on one side of a corner with the goblin on the other side.  (So they are on diagonal tiles, with a corner next to both of them.) That's all I can think of that might have anything to do with it.

The fort was started with 31_08 but it's now loaded into 31_10.  Thinking about savescumming back to the previous season just to get out of the infinite stabbing loop.

  MEDIC!!!!!!!

she's a super dwarf.. all their is to it

And she's happy 

Maybe w8 for season.... later or earlier she will die from blood loss.

Well it has actually changed from Autumn to Winter now and she's still lying there being poked with a sharp stick.  Something is wrong with the way she's not bleeding out.

Did Toady secretly implement undead dwarves in the last couple releases?

edit: Yeah I also thought it was funny that "she has been happy lately."  I'm guessing the bloodloss is making her delirious and she is probably seeing pink fluffy wamblers jumping over solid gold floodgates or something.

Try to raise some military through ind. combat drill. Cause you will have to deal with those goblins later. That dwarf is just making a sacrifice by bying you some time. Obviously, she will die from thirst and hunger soon.

There was mentioned on several places in forum bug about semi-immortal dwarves involved in real or phantom combat. They eventually die when enemy is disposed of and no moment earlier.

You could wall them off and then cause a cave-in. Or magma-in.

like he said, try to kill the gob and see if she dies then, might jus b stuck in a combat loop and not letting the dwarf die

[pulsusego]

this idea cant be just mine... i'd wall 'em in glass and make them a tourist attraction. that's just awesome.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

I shot this fisherdwarf with a steel ballista arrow around 5 times. Didn't die for a season or two.

[parlor_tricks]

This thread is so awesome.

>she was disgusted by miasma lately

That miasma is from her own rotting hands and face, isn't it?

[DennyTom]

... semi-immortal dwarves ...

Semi? In the state she is she looks more like a Gelatinous cube than a dwarf...

I eventually savescummed this fortress to the previous season, coz the goblins had killed or disrupted pretty much the entire fort once it was all over.

I did sit and watch combat until she died before I went back, though.  I missed seeing the actual death "in person" but while I was in another part of the fort I finally saw the "has died" message ...

... a full season after my original post.

She spent nearly half a year bleeding and having a goblin pikeman twisting his pike in her upper body and hacking at pretty much every possible body part.  I bet she was Legendary in the dying skill by the time she finally bled out.

I have this mental image of the goblin jumping out and going "GRAWW!" and stabbing her in the chest with his pike.  So she leans against the wall and starts having a one-sided conversation with him about the complexities of processing Pig Tails into thread while blood sprays out everywhere like a fountain.  After a month or so of this, he's gone completely insane and stabbing her over and over to get her to shut up and she's showing him a stack of engravings of Urist's new baby and still spraying blood everywhere.

You forget, legendaries do their work rather quickly. I'd say she was just dabbling, maybe novice, if it took that long to die.
