Migrant without leg
« on: March 02, 2012, 09:02:45 am »



This child immigrated to my fort just momen ago.
Nothing attacked him. He just sits in border of map, where other migrants came. Someone is going to haul him into hospital.

But what? Is this normal? Child migrant with no ear or other leg?
Also, every body part of him is yellow (not counting left ear and right upper leg).
He has no crutch and medical status says he needs diagnose.

I had the same thing happen with a Woodcrafter immigrant. She was brought to the hospital, given a crutch and integrated into dwarven society, thought it was sort of neat tbh ^^ (She later died being to slow to flee into safety from a goblin assault)

He's clearly a refugee who barely got out alive.

Sounds like a worldgen injury.  Check legends mode.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

Most likely he got attacked by a beast, lost a limb in the process, and survived.

This one's defective, you should have chambers properly equipped to handle his unique situation.

You underestimate the dual purpose of the Drawbridge.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

He's a historical figure who lost his leg. It's normal.
