Man, I need to look at your save when you are done and try to figure out some way to rescue Dishmab.

All his flesh has melted off. He is basically a skeleton encased in adamantine armour swimming in the magma at the heart of the world. And he is not happy. I hope he still has his artifact adamantine shortsword...

It looks from your screenshot that you had your battle with Dishmab in a fort in the Hills of Murdering. If so, it is possible that if he was still alive when you offloaded the site he will be repositioned randomly when that fort is reloaded. He might come back to haunt you!

The only forts I can think of that's near enough to another fort for it to be displayed in green are Sunkengem/Goodbrews, and fiendsearch/bodicerhymed. The former two are very near dinnerwandered as well, but the latter dont seem to be near any towns. But dinnerwandered is a + not a ☼. So... Where's Dishmab!?

 Before I retire i decided I'd go and check and see if what you said is true... WELLLLL Sunkengem is meeting FPS death now. In fact many of the worlds sites are. There were quite a few fortresses that were fps deathy



Edit: Oh fuck

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


This will be my finest moment. I will give you the results of the ensuing kerfuffle in my update tomorrow. It will be the end of Aco's journey.

Second Edit: Damn FPS death I think Dwarf Fort may crash. (Turns are taking like 20 seconds each)

I may have to try luring him away from Sunkengem because this is terrible

My game crashed. DAMN IT ALL


Edit: YES YES YES! I found Dishman again I had to restart like 8 times im now going to go through the slow process of leading dishmab away from sunken gem so there is no fps death.

Edit 2: This is taking FOREVER.

Edit 3: My update later today/tomorrow

Wait... Dishmab the Terrible, a magma burned skeleton clad in admantium armor still walks the world of the living, striking terror into the hearts of all who behold him - so basically he's become a Megabeast in his own right, and possibly a Titan...  I wonder if legends will be carved about him by local dwarves who both tremble and rejoice at Armok's avatar?

This is the most epic thing I have seen in all of DF...

Your signature is exceedingly accurate. In fact, it just doesn't express it anymore.

Dishmab is literally the pinnacle of what Dwarf Fortress is, he's...well...he's the adventuring dream!

Come on! Adamantine Armour and Sword, Legendary Fighting Skills, Went to Hell as if it were his summer home, Killed all opposition and he a freaking skeleton.

This is indeed the stuff of legends... The world has thrown everything it can against Dishmab. Finally in an epic battle a great hero manages to trick the foul demon, and Dishmab plunges into the volcano.

There's great reyoicing, everyone is ecstatic. People on the forums announce the end of an era. The demon is death or forever trapped.

Then Dishmab seemingly without effort returns to the surface..

Reminds me of the terminator movies where the terminator is completely destroyed and fragmented, and everyone thinks thats the end of it. Then the pieces just reassemble... the damned thing just won't die..

Well, we can always try dropping a mountain on him.

Let's face it, he'll catch it.

Obsidianizing or flash freezing would work.

Perhaps the best place for him is a grand labyrinth wherein he may stalk unwitting adventurers.

We flash freeze him and he'll just get some girl to let him go a few years later, as the local kobold crime bosses below Dinnerwandered will demand to use his frozen body as a wall decoration...
