Now I've found two more! Might use one to explore the magma tube. Just a matter of setting things up properly...

To add to the "burn at the stake" suggestions.

Channel a room, about 4x4, 2 levels. Create a 3x3 or similar wooden walls on the lower floor. The top is now floor; create a chain and assign him to it for justice or whatever.

Let the magma in on the lower level. Make it a booze stockpile as well for extra explosions. Vampire will now be surrounded by fire and slowly burn to death. Or quickly. Probably quickly.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim!

1. Booze does not explode.  Id does burn, however.
2. Magma on lower Z-level will not affect the dwarf, because magmaforge, etc.

One is now a mason, the other is sealed up in a 1x1 room. Disturbingly, the entombed one is "quite content" while the mason is grieving the decay of a sibling.

Also, I suspect someone has noticed this before, but Stonesense labels the vampires with their true names, not their aliases.

It doesn't? Oh. I always thought it did.

My bad. I just assumed, since I've never managed to get a dragon into my booze stockpile.

I don't know if that's really a bad thing...

What I noticed was that my mayor, (I had convicted the vampire of vampirism with like 4 witnesses) that he remembered in his recent moods field the "Impalement of the vampire [Dwarfish name] in the year of [Insert year]. Anyone else got these memories from any dwarfs after offing a vamp?
Not at all. Do you have a screenshot of this thoughts screen?

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Interesting. I could believe that, given how rare actually killing a vampire by execution is, and how unlikely it is to be looking at the hammerers thoughts immediately afterward.

I hand them a pick and lock them a z-level below my fort and send them digging straight down.

Anyway, build a chain and put it into very small place. Set it used by justice. Have sheriff or someone else who deals with chaining criminals and such. Now condemn your vampire, wait until she or he is chained and after wall that small place. Problem solved...

Chain them outside, wait for daylight.  If they aren't a pile of ash by nightfall, they're not a vampire.  I dunno?

Vampires don't even get bad thoughts from being out in the sun, Nephilimnexus. The best bet, as always, is magma.

Given how time passes in fortress mode, if they were killed by sunlight they'd turn to ash before reaching the average fort entrance.
