So that's why the Goblins called it...

Keep them from cleaning themselves, as long as they're covered in it they can't be poisoned a second time. Get them inside as fast as possible, abandon anything you haven't already gotten underground it belongs to the tentacles now.

Nonsense.  He just has to wait for a vampire to migrate.

Being sleep immune, he can be used to airlock all the lost goodies.

Further, the combination of sleepytime rain, nosleepy vampire, and sapient sleepy time invaders means that the vampire will have plenty to eat, is perfectly weaponized, and serves a valuable role in dwarven society collecting all the goblinite.

Furter, hei could be comissoned to extend the aboveground portions of the fortress with airlocked building supplies.

There are three possibilities. The syndrome is excruciating pain and it's causing them to pass out wake up and pass out again, the syndrome is drowsiness and they get so exhausted they fall over where they stand, or the syndrome is just unconcniousness. Vampires should be immune to the first two but not sure i don't know if they are just unable to be knocked out.

So I tried once agian to see if I could survive in an evil area, and I was just getting started when I got the message "It's raining repellent slush!" and so just as I was beggining to wonder what this new weather would do, I got 10 cancelation messages. What they were trying to do was clean themselves, their reason for not doing it was unconciousness.

So basically I'm in an evil area where it rains cloroform constantly and my dwarves will never be awake agian, and the land is made out of tendrills and eyeballs so I get the feeling that this entire landscape must be lauging at me. Any suggestions as to how to cope with this problem? I've been thinking of ways of keeping migrants out of the slush, but so far I've come up with nothing reliable.

I see where this is going...

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

This is the rain effect in my biome:

Stage 1: Woah, this weird yellow goo is making me dizzy. Cool.
Stage 2: Ah, crap, I think those forgotten beast biscuits aren't keeping down so well. *Explosvie vomit*
Stage 3: SHIT SHIT, PAIN FUCKIN EVERYWHERE!
Stage 4: Unconciousness

Works pretty well against goblins.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

I just abandoned the old fort and now I think that it's funny that even though the fortress has the not so fitting name of "Longclock" or "Romekoslan", the temperate freshwater marsh's name which has all thes horrible features is called "The Swamp of Seduction".

Also I think that this land is probably ruled over by Gasin the Shore of Washing, the local octopus god.

My only question is that, scince my world is pocket size and I can't find a vampire in legends, can I still get a vampire to migrate in eventually?

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

This is a whole new take on "does this smell like cloroform to you"

At least your enemies will all be chloroformed too.

I guess if you got any vampires it'd be like a hermit fort until they can get a massive umbrella over the whole map. Would be an interesting fort idea.
