Hello all - hope all's well.

I have a pesky ambushing necromancer who's managed to infiltrate my refuse pile. What are the best techniques for finding him? The fact he's raising the skin & hair in the stockpile suggests he's within 15 squares of it - but it's a large (ish) [10x15] room. My four military dwarves have had a run around but not caught him yet. Any ideas?

This is non-urgent - my curiosity more than anything, and I'd love your tips.

Lock the door and drop a 10x15 section of floor through the ceiling.

Send more dwarves in until the sheer weight of bodies means there's nowhere for the necromancer to hide. Make sure they have hammers, helms, mail shirts, and shields at least.

Do the above, but with a mechanism-linked cage full of dozens of dogs.

Make a hole in the ceiling, put a grate over it, and fill the room with water.

Or magma.

I like all of these. A cave in was unfeasible due to location, but definitely worth bearing in mind. I suspected weight of bodies (and dog bodies) was my only viable option, and fortunately it worked. Thanks for all your tips.

drowning a necromancer in water is maybe not the best strategy. Do they actually need to breathe?

Yes they require to breath they just do not need to eat/sleep/drink and do not age
