Secretions
« on: December 17, 2012, 02:37:25 am »

So I got a forgotten beast down in the ol basement a little while ago and aside from being a giant cobra with a trunk that has "a regal bearing" (go figure), it also says the critter has "noxious secretions". So I'm wondering, what form do these drippings take?

Forgotten beast's secretions vary quite a lot. In my personal experience I've found that they have range. I think they can be blobs, liquids or gasses, It varies though.
However I think you should take this opportunity to put it in the bottom of a pit and use it as a way to dispose of goblins and pesky nobles your most useful dwarves.

Will it even effect your dwarves? They wear shoes now.

It can still find its way on to other dwarves... And shoes don't last forever (2 in-game years roughly).

If the FB has some drops that act like smoke then they might be affected by it because they would inhale it.
Of course shoes will probably break after time so there is always threat.

But there is always the chance of pets dieing to it anyway.

Secretions means they get some bodypart always covered with something syndromey, see if it leaves trails of secretions when not in water. Sometimes secretions can boil, effectively becoming breath attack.
