spotting a vampire
« on: February 16, 2012, 02:57:06 am »

"Urist McVictim has been found dead completely drained of blood!"

so i went through the unit screen and quickly found a possible candidate for the perpetrator:
a wax worker with no family, no friends, an impressive age of 185 (startet embarking at year 76, everyone else is around 50 years old). also, he had 4 kills already and wore an bone amulet. I walled him in in his room and waited. he died of thirst. since then, three more dwarves including the mayor have been sucked dry. either i was wrong about the wax worker or i have more than one vampire in the fort.

is there an easy way to spot them? "doesn't like garlic, has long teeth, only goes outside at night"?
a friend suggested, locking everyone in and wait and see who doesn't die. but that's not really a nice option...

I'd be shocked if dwarves didn't eat the demons they killed. After all, if they're willing to eat a poison spewing monstrosity, why not a flying dinosaur thing that hates all life?

Give him full candy set of armor, candy weapon, assign him to burrow with useless bags of bones childrens and soap makers and make separate squad for HIM.

!!SCIENCE!! request:

Will he stay in his burrow when he's feeding?
Does he always respond to military orders?

unfortunately, candy experiments are impossible at the moment. i don't even have standard metal ore.
for now i have made him manager and confined him to an isolated office with access to a death pit where i intend to feed him prisoners.

edit: also he serves his 800-day-sentence for the 4 murders there
