I've got a bunch of questions related to demonic slab. I have a game in v.40.23, where my adventurer was fighting a demon, then changed mind and set to look for a demonic slab. He found it (probably - there are two slabs and one demon left in this world, and I'm not sure I've got the right slab), took it, read it, nothing happened. Now the questions:

1. How to use the slab against a demon?

2. If I bind the demon, is it possible to retire in a fort, and keep it as a pet, so my fortress mode dwarves have a big friend?

3. Slightly related: how to transfer some items from demonic metal to the new fortress? I don't remember if items in inventory of an adventurer are kept. The additional problem is I can drag them only a while before they start wounding my character probably because they are very hot. He is tough (a vamp) but can bleed to death after burning/wounding. I have idea that they will loose their temperature after transfer to fortress mode, and wanted to try it.

Items you drop in a site will remain in the site.

40.23? Not 40.24 or 42.xx?

Read the slab in front of the demon and it will let you invoke the name to control or banish them. They don't behave right when you retire last time I tried. He just left when I gave up control and ended up leading a war against my civ I think?

1. Just read the slab once and you'll always be able to use the name on it. What you do with the slab afterward is up to you.

2.No. Your bound demon will still be hostile to everyone, and may even kill your adventurer. If you want to retire temporarily, you can safely leave it at a separate site. Whether that site is populated is up to you.

Great, I will make use of gigantic strength and bring as much goblinite as I can steal.

No, the game was created with even older version of DF. The reason I keep it is another save, with my fortress, where a Shaft of Enlightenment was built. I haven't used it yet, but I want to before it will be lost forever. Like in version .40.24 and newer. Later I will transfer it to .42.05 or even newer, if the save compatibility still stands.

Oh, I hoped it would be at least neutral. So I should get rid of it. Hm.

So I don't have to carry it with me? Good, it weighs a ton. Well, one-eight of a ton, but still much.

2.No. Your bound demon will still be hostile to everyone, and may even kill your adventurer. If you want to retire temporarily, you can safely leave it at a separate site. Whether that site is populated is up to you.

Damn. Even worse.

Thanks for answers, now I know what to do.
