So, I've decided to try my hand at adventure mode again, between forts, and I just saw a tomb and decided what I want to do is kill a mummy and take all his stuff.

Now, I've accidentally wandered into these things before gotten horribly murdered, so I need some advice on how to proceed. They only aggro when you steal their stuff and/or mess with their coffin, right? Would sneaking up to them and stabbing them in the face as they wake up be viable? Thoughts?

That's a good way to get cursed.  Mummys know you are present if you trigger a trap/anything sees you in the tomb, or get too close to their sarcophogus.  Just avoid them if you can or don't feel up to it.  I typically stay out of tombs.

Edit:  Undead mummy ignores undead adventurer.  OPPOSED_TO_LIFE is in effect.

the first thing to do is to move all there corpses away, and burn them.
then attack the mummie.

1: Become a Necromancer.

2: Enter the tomb and talk with the mummy while eating pastries. He will tell you interesting historical facts.

3:Invite him to come with you.

4:Decapite him with one treacherus stroke.

Indeed, which is why I'm seeking the wisdom of the forum on the matter.

Hah, I didn't even think of that. Now I just want a mummy BFF, though.

Might try this too... won't it piss him off if you start dicking around with his dead peasants though? Don't want to get cursed or anything.

Remove the corpses like Funk said and then go get companions to come with you.  The mummy wouldn't have any bodies to raise and I would think the companions would be able to kill him (or distract him) so he can't curse you.  Maybe throw stuff at the mummy while the followers attack it just to speed things along.

This works until he kills your (and then resurrects) companions with his awesome mummy magic.  Bring many companions, enough to cover the spread.

Contracted vampirism, killed a fuckton of dudes, found a tomb, stopped by and had a chat about the old days, didn't find any loot I liked, left.

Mummy kept begging me to take him with me on my glorious adventures though... maybe I will, just to see if the townsfolk react at all. Playing as a night creature in Dwarf Fortress is reasonably epic.
