So you now have a vampire in your fortress wonderful! So you found him and now you are unsure what to do. Why not weaponize them?

1). Create a well for drinking water create one way to escape the well incase someone falls in. Create a bridge about one or two z levels higher above it.

2.) Put vampire in Military make him move over the bridge pull a lever and the vampire accidentally falls in.

3.) His blood is now in the well keep doing this until his delicious blood contaminates the entire well.

4.) Run out of beer i know this is a terrible thing but it is for the future of the fortress.

5.) Have dwarves drink from the well

6.) Suddenly you have a dwarven vampire fortress

I am unsure if this is possible but i beleive contaminants actually effect the water so the water would now be laced with vampire blood. Due to the blood the dwarves would transform into vampires.

Since vampires stop aging and are extremely fast(this is all we know so far) this would create an amazing militia.

I had a post similar to this one in the "weaponize this" thread so I'm not quite sure if you're responding to that or if we just had similar thought processes. I'm not familiar with how wells work but I've heard people say that they "purify" the water source they take from with regard to contaminants. I suggested a floor grate over water with blood on the grate in the other thread because that's the only way I've heard of so far to get dwarves to drink a liquid other than the available water.

A bloody well is certainly worth a try though, especially if you set up some sort of altar around it and assign dwarves to be changed into a burrow where they ascend to undeath. It certainly is more epic than having an entire fortress scooping filthy water from a blood-soaked floor grate.

Unfortunately, the method of infection will vary between worlds. Some worlds will have drinking blood, others will have bites.

Sorry mate.

I know about muddy water so i thought of that in the creation. Either way we can just hide the grate and imagine that they are Having Ritual vampirism

It's probably going to be as varied as forgotten beast poison extract and clown juice, I assume.
