Now that migrants are from world history, I'm sure I've gotten babies with their parents in migrant waves.

Anyway, insignificant things aside:

Maybe this baby's mother is a vampire and the curse is transferred via the mother's milk.

Anyone checked if a dwarf with her breasts cut off in combat will make the dwarf baby starve to death?

I think it is pretty clear what happened here.  You sent your vampire off on a military assignment outside somewhere, and assumed he was dealt with / ruled him out.  You were incorrect, since vampires will disobey their military orders and just about anything else when they get thirsty, and go drain somebody anyway.

So he quit his post, snuck in, killed a dude, then went back to his post.  And managed to trick his overseer into accusing a baby.



Incidentally, the idea earlier in the thread about testing whether injured babies fed vampire water will turn is one of the best things ive heard all week.

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

It's been a while since I ran a vampire fort but I haven't observed this to be true. Military orders supersede vampire feeding priorities, not only do they not feed while following military orders they will stop feeding halfway through (resulting in a pale but very alive dwarf) in order to obey them.

Quickest way to find a vampire - Forbid every source of food, when everyone is 'very hungry' find the one dwarf(or more) that isn't hungry at all, he/she's the vampire.

Nawp - I have directly observed this at least half a dozen times now.  Sent a vamp to go stand someplace.  Looked right at him with game speed on 500 fps, and bam, he runs off.  look at him with [v] and he has some bizarre made up job that makes no sense, and he is lurking around the living area.  Gets the night creature symbol.  Kills a dude. Runs back to his post.  tick tock.  So and so is drained of blood.  I didn't touch any commands the whole time.
