[Uristocrat]

The jeweler who hurt his foot during the first season of my fort and who has been sitting since then in my hospital just got a strange mood.  He's... not likely to walk any time soon, even though he isn't injured very badly, except for the nerve damage.

Any suggestions?  Magma was my first thought, but I don't really want to burn up my nice hospital....

[Babylon]

just let him go crazy, if he goes berzerk he can't really hurt anyone if he can't move.

[Untelligent]

I remember in old versions wounded mooders would drag themselves out of bed and to the workshop. Does that still happen?

[PopeRichardCorey]

Does he crawl out of bed at all?  If you want to really micromanage, you could try buildin ga jeweler's shop in your hospital, and then producing tiny stockpiles with every item he asks for.

I reccomend letting him go nuts, though.  If he goes berserk, free target practice for your military!  If he doesn't, raving naked bedridden dwarf!

[varnish]

You should man up and just wait to see what happens. Will he crawl his way to victory and a new artifact? Will he go crazy and wreck up the place? Will he just get plain depressed and cry in his bed?

Speaking seriously, I'd either wait till he goes mad and dies, (does he have a lot of friends?) or maybe try deconstructing the beds in the hospital. You know, see if that will force him to get moving. Not sure if that works in this version.

Hopefully someone else out there has better advice.

You're right.  He actually got out of bed and started crawling towards the jeweler's workshops.

I wonder if there's any way to make him grab a crutch while he's mobile?  Hmm....

[PopeRichardCorey]

Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll make a Gem Crutch.  About a third of my artifacts are crutches.

(I doubt crutches can even be artifacted out of gems.)

I'm tempted to savescum just for that remote possibility (I really doubt it's possible, though).

Used to be that jewelers were liable to make gem furniture, but the last couple of gem-related moods I've seen have been perfect gems.

And even if he were to make a gem crutch, ask yourself this: do you really think he'd use it?

[MiniMacker]

Why wouldn't he use it? He'd be the first Dwarf pimp around!

I never pictured a gem crutch as a pimp cane, but that is some good thinking, mate.

If it's not in SLADE, it should be.

The game crashed on me and the last save was from before his mood.  So we'll probably never see that now
