Vampire caught in action, now what?
« on: June 27, 2012, 02:44:47 am »

I've caught a vampire in the act, and paused the game. Is the dwarf going to die anyway, or is there a way to stop him sucking him dry?

If he gets attacked, has to flee, or a cave-in happens he will stop and leave the dwarf "pale."

Vampire feeding doesn't always kill, even if it's not forced to abort.  Has the vampire been deprived for a long time, or is it just topping off?

The military wont do anything, A bezerker, animal, or invader will make it flee.

Didn't have time... there goes my best farmer. Well, this vampire is going for a life chained in the cemetery (the only place I could think of putting a restraint for punishment to be served)

Ok, so it seems the military can't even find the dead body when they're standing on it... don't know how they manage to kill a goblin

I let my vampires go free. Until strike three. Then its a torture room.

They make excellent elite squads due to their increased attributes, or you could use them as a fail-safe if all your dorfs die.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Or, you know, kill them in horrifying but amusing ways...

Put him into a minecart and crash him into another minecart. In midair...

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.
