Yeah, I know that title is inaccurate at best and distasteful at worst...BUT...

Well as the story goes I unleashed a demon pit and all hell broke loose. Everyone died by 3, two of which were in their beds resting injuries and one was my DM who fell last. My DM is currently laying on the floor unconscious and mangled the hell and back.

All of this happened towards the end of Mid-Winter and is it now Mid-Spring. The two resting dorfs have long since died of dehydration. But my DM?



He's not even thirsty! Or hungry. He shows no indication he's in any way dying! He just lays there in a coma.

Right now I'm anxiously awaiting migrants and hoping I can redo a fortress far away from the disaster zone...but I'm pretty sure my DM should at least be a bit thirsty, if not downright a shriveled up corpse by now.

Could this be tied in with the bug where dwarves nailed in the heart do not bleed?
Assuming the whole state updating freezes, maybe they'd not eat, drink or sleep either?

He is somewhat reserved. He prefers to be alone. He doesn't need thrills or risks in life. He is never optimistic or enthusiastic about anything. He has a fertile imagination. He is open-minded to new ideas. He is put off by authority and tradition. He is very straightforward with others. He is very disorganized. He thinks it is incredibly important to strive for excellence. He has very little self-discipline. He takes time when making decisions. He doesn't really care about anything anymore.

Could it be someone has been bringing him food and water?

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Nope. If you read my post you'll notice I said there were only 3 dorfs (down from 100...) after the demon attack. It was just him.

He's still alive, btw. Going on a year without food or drink or even waking up

Whoops, sorry. I read your post, but I must've skimmed over that detail.

The DM eventually died a year and a half later. The game said he was "struck down", though he died with no enemies around him
