In the city of Odgoden, "Tunneledrope", there once was a middle-aged dwarf named Ast Aliksibrek.  He did nothing special, nor made any artifacts.  But when the Goblin horde came to siege the great fortress, he took up no arms, and fought the goblins.  He managed, unarmed, to fell three goblin crossbowmen hiding behind the walls of the entrance.  But he was also given consequences for his bravery, and was left lying on the blood-strewn battlefield, among a pile of goblin limbs, and beaten to a gore ridden pulp.  He was quickly brought to the Odgoden hospital after the siege was broken, and was diagnosed with a long list of injuries.  Most of his appendages were broken, one of his lungs was deflated, and he had his spine beaten to the point where he would be a paraplegic if he survived.  His wounds were covered with adamantine threads and cloth, and his broken limbs set with adamantine splints. 


One year and 2 months after the attack, when he was almost out of the hospital, he died of infection.

If those goblins were lashers, I would be impressed. But nice!

so adamantine everything, but no soap.  Tragic irony

[DS]

At least you got the adamantine back quickly. Whew.

If he was mine, I would assign his body to adamantine sarcophagus, built next to adamantine statue of his. May take a moment to make, that statue, if the world history is long. In my fortress I haven't made any adamantine armour/weapons but I have adamantine mechanisms, coins and blocks (for wells). But I still don't have adamantine coffins. Unfortunately, none of my military dwarves seems to like adamantine, and I build the tombs based on their favourite materials.

You insert the mechanisms, surround the whole deal with blocks and WISH AWAY! (sorry, couldn't hold meself)

[Loud Whispers]

You know... I may begin "adorning" my Dwarves with the blue stuff now.

It's a bit scary if you think about it. The dwarves will RIP AND TEAR the sutures out of a fallen dwarf's body to reclaim.

[caddybear]

Kobolds start graverobbing to steal the adamantine threads and splints from the dead! Adamantine teeth? WHY THE HELL NOT

When a Dwarf dies, it sheds all cloth and thread sewn into it.

I had an adamantine-sutured dwarf back in .31.25, and am pretty sure the sutures were gone before he died. I don't know if they were absorbed or removed. I hope they were removed by a professional (and I don't mean a professional thief).

In America, there is no distinction.

Million-dollar dwarf ?

[Zinc23]

But yeah.  I'm not sure if he left behind his cloth and sutures...  The splints were DEFINITELY left behind, but I didn't see any cloth or sutures.  Might have been removed/absorbed.  But he was almost out of tractions, and godDAMN I need soap.
