Recently, i got a message about some 3-eyed huge goat coming. I sent 6 champions against it and in about 30 seconds it was over... at least i thought so. When they were returning from caverns, i noticed miasma clouds everywhere. I got a bad feeling about that and forbid the hatch cover that was connecting the path from caverns to my fortress. Soon i noticed, that all champions have lost vision and all their body is rotting. Not being able watching them rotting in cold caverns with no food and booze, i actually let them in. I immediately restricted the hospital zone - only doctors had access. So the treatment began.
Actually it was so bad, that i reversed the save. I am just curious now about this incident.
So... after some diagnostics the doctors begun working in clouds of miasma. Patients were cleaned, had rotten tissue removed and sutured. Miasma didn't dissappear.
Actually i have a couple of questions:
1) Everyone of them had vision lost in health window. Did that mean, they could see nothing and couldn't fight anymore?
2) If the treatment had gone smooth, and every champion had got full treatment, would the miasma and rotting thing had disappeared?
3) If yes, could it affect somehow their stats? I mean, would they had gotten weaker or less agile?
To make it short, i just want to know the consequences of all this rotting and miasma thing. Cause it seems to me, that with much rotten tissue removed, the living creature can't be as strong and agile as it used to be.
P.S. One of them actually didn't wait for full treatment and went to barracks training. With miasma and rotting body. It was really strange. Actually, it didn't kill them and i don't know if rotting kills dwarves? If no... well, having a zombie-miasma-producing-champion-squad isn't really a nice thing...
