Eternal Thrall battles
« on: November 09, 2013, 01:21:50 am »

So I embarked near an evil biome with endless evil mists.

Some got into my fort, lot of fun was had. Thralls attack dwarves, dwarves fight back, dwarves become thralls and keep fighting. Thralls fighting each other instead of my dwarves meant 1 dwarf managed to survive until migrants arrived. Then the thralls were walled in.

Now some time has passed, built the fortress up. But the thralls are still fighting, in my old main staircase. That's annoying; I liked my old staircase, and I want it back. So how do I get the thralls out?

They scare off civilians, but don't run after them. I worry if I send a military dwarf in, he'd just join the fight until he too became a thrall. I do have access to an aquifer, so maybe i can flush them out?

Any suggestions?

To destroy them you have to decapitate, bisect or atomsmash them or encase them in ice or obsidian. All of those have their risks, so choose wisely.

It would be enough to trap them in cages. Although ice may be simple too if I drown them and wait till winter...

Depending on your layout caveins might also be a potential solution.
