Caravan guard dead... and body destroyed!
« on: January 12, 2012, 10:30:12 pm »
I had a caravan guard die due to a Goblin Christmas at an inopportune time.

They died in the entrance hallway of my fortress.    The same hallway that, moments later, filled with (pressurized!) magma.

Currently, you cannot engrave slabs for caravan guards.

I predict ghost problems in a few months.

Yep.  One of my forts has one due to roughly the same circumstances.

Luckily not a violent one.  He just follows different people around, or wanders the upper levels of the fortress. 

I have a Tomb of the Unresting Dwarf as well.   ::)

On a related note, an elven caravan just spawned in the northeast corner of the map (farthest from my fortress, which is built into a cliff on the south west side) and a Vile Force of Goblin Christmas has Arrived on the east edge of the map.

I don't think I'm going to be able to save them.
