Just that guys I recently caught a necromancer in a zombeh siege.....And I want some ideas from you Bay Twelvers. I was thinking maybe a death pit that I drop my enemies into and then they die and get reanimated to MURDER my frame rate......Funzies!

So post away Ladies and gentle spoons!

[Kelner]

I got a necromancer as a king consort and had to burrow him on the far side of the map to stop him from scaring my dorfs. Then, after many mishaps, I've trapped him underground near the entrance and I'm currently building a room for him above ground with glass windows and bridges working as shutters.

The plan is to open the bridge-shutters and make him gaze upon my graveyard whenever invaders arrive. Then grab a drink and watch goblins get ripped to death by watter bufallo skeletons.

I release them now and again to let battlefields rise up and fight with sieges/animate my corpse moat.

You take three goblins and put them in sight of your necromancer and a squad of marksdwarfs. The marksdwarfs must not be able to shoot on the necromancer. The dwarfs will shoot on the goblins and the necromancer will reanimate them. In some months, you'll have many well-trained marksdwarfs.

Heh, I just cage em and cast a hollow 3x3x3 shell of obsidian around them. Currently working on a method to then drop the cube down just short of the magma sea. Don't want em dying, but I want em as far from vengeful ghosts as they can get:p

Also put a raising bridge infront of the necromancer incase you want to either put more corpses in there, or retrieve the bolts.

lets generalize its use too, have a death training arena.

[NonconsensualSurgery]

You finally have a use for all the piles of gems you get. Necromancers don't mind casting through gem windows. The result is entertainingly lethal.

[Vanaheimer]

Training! you can reanimate your enemies for your soldiers to murder again!

[i2amroy]

Drop unbutcherable skeletons into an area that the necromancer can see. Then allow the skeletons to wander out into a spinning disc filled hallway to separate them into smaller parts. Collect all of the small parts and let them rot into bones. Dump large parts back into the reanimation area to be chopped up again. Repeat until all you have is tons of goblin, troll, and elven bones and no more of those stupid skeletons.

If the songs are to believed, you put him in a long-boat until he's sober. Earl-aye in the morning.

Oh wait, that's a drunken sailor. Still, would be a pretty hellish punishment if he's a dwarf.

I was just thinking of that song.

Of course, the refrain is particularly appropriate for a captured necro:

Weigh heigh and up she rises!
Weigh heigh and up she rises!
Weigh heigh and up she rises!
Ear-lye in the morning

What shall we do with a captured necro,
What shall we do with a captured necro,
What shall we do with a captured necro,
Ear-lye in the morning?

Let him raise zombies to train our soldiers,
Let him raise zombies to train our soldiers,
Let him raise zombies to train our soldiers,
Ear-lye in the morning!

[Patroclus]

Heh, I started writing this, then had to go away for a couple hours and I see I've been ninja'd.

What do you do with a nec-ro-mancer?
What do you do with a nec-ro-mancer?
What do you do with a nec-ro-mancer?
Earl-eye in the morning?

Bathe him in magma til his fat's all melted
Bathe him in magma til his fat's all melted
Bathe him in magma til his fat's all melted
Earl-eye in the morning

Put him in a pit with a minotaur
Put him in a pit with a minotaur
Put him in a pit with a minotaur
Earl-eye in the morning

Make him raise zombies to train our marksdwarves
Make him raise zombies to train our marksdwarves
Make him raise zombies to train our marksdwarves
Earl-eye in the morning

Make him fall seventy Z-levels
Make him fall seventy Z-levels
Make him fall seventy Z-levels
Earl-eye in the morning

Let him at a graveyard with a thousand corpses
Let him at a graveyard with a thousand corpses
Let him at a graveyard with a thousand corpses
Earl-eye in -- OH GOD ZOMBIEAAAAAAGGGHGERROFFMEAAAAAAMYFACE
