I got a vampire, he killed an armorer but i got him, he is in jail now.
The thing is that the sentence was 200 days, not even a year for murder.
I want him dead, how can i kill him?

[Finn]

Don't kill him.  Wall him in his cell and make him your bookeeper.

Otherwise, magma?

[Kolnukbyne]

My favourite way of disposing with a vampire is walling them into a room and them mining out a square the same size/shape as the edges of the room above them and then dropping 6 z levels on them. Good luck finding a corpse.

I decided to assign him to a squad called the "Lavaswimmers"

Magma, a 30 z-level drop, a dragon, a clown army, really there's so many ways to do it. But as others have suggested he's more useful "alive" I personally recommend using his blood to create a vampire army, just poke him with a spike trap suspended over a well, contaminating the water. Then forbid the booze, or trap the vampiric candidates in the well room and after a while they'll drink. Change-o-presto undead army. Don't forget to feed them migrants, other wise they'll get a bit slow.

They don't drink alcohol while staying ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT. So they get slow overtime in any way.

Why would you want to dispose of a vampire!? Ideal bookkeeper/managers they are, just lock them away in an office (literally) so they won't cause any unwanted deaths.

[LumberingOaf]

I build lever operated spikes into the floors of my prison cells. You can't cover the bed tile, sadly, but the entire rest of the cell can be turned into a spikey floor of doom. I use wooden spikes because 1) it's traditional and 2) a slow and painful death to my foes is preferable.

One thing I will note is that the emphasis in that sentence really does go on slow. Typically, I find that a vampire will lose several digits and bleed copiously before their eventual demise in this fashion, typically dying from loss of blood or, in some cases, infection. Yes, it really does take that long.

Ah I wan't aware of that. I assumed it could be countered. Thanks for clearing that up.

Well, I vaguely remember someone else in a previous thread saying they trapped their vampire in an 1-urist area with a long vertical shaft, then had dwarves dump unneeded boulders on his head until he died. Its what I intend to do when I finally get one, after establishing a Well of Unlife for my favorite nobles, (who cares if my king becomes a bit slow, so long as he doesn't make any unreasonable demands I'm quite happy to let him loiter in his luxurious throne room for all eternity, only allowed to feed when I want someone dead.). Plus, it sounds like the kind of thing an angry mob of dwarves would do, slowly and painfully crushing his bones. If you don't need surplus rocks then this could be a way to store them, and you could make the room accessible later to retrieve them.

That was me. Now I genned a world which happens to have no vamps, so I haven't had the luxury of stoning one in some time. Just dig a channel put a door at the bottom. Dig a staircase one tile up, dig out the tile above, dump stones. Channel when you think you've got enough.

You could also build a quantum stockpiler for your refuse dump. Build a dump shoot, put the vamp at the bottom and drop dead goblins on the bastard for all eternity. Whatever floats your boat.

Vampires are awesome.  Just wall them up with a pick and let them mine/explore a section of the map.  You can even get them to wall themselves in so you can safely extract any resources they find.
