Volcano/magma sea involved burials/unfortunate accidents.
« on: February 16, 2012, 11:01:00 am »
I wonder if there is dorfier way to send deceased dwarves to their last trip that setting the bridge as a dump and dumping corpses. Will it work if the bridge connects the floor and the shore?

There is a finely-engraved image of Ascimator on the wall. Ascimator is slapping himself in the face. The artwork relates to the loss of the only anvil in Perplextombs in the late winter of 6.

Unless you slap a slab down A.S.A.P say hello to Mr. 2010 Urist McGhost!

Or put that corpse in a coffin, deconstruct said coffin and dump it in magma.

Just set it at the edge of a volcano/magma pit, then designate anyone who dies for dumping. ESPECIALLY if you're on an evil biome.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?

Wait... if the coffin is magma-safe, then it will travel all the way down? Is there a stone barrier or something (excluding HFS)?

Any item that touches semi-molten rock explodes.

The closer to the center, the cooler the rock... so that is dorven geology.
