[Foamybeard]

Alright, I'm sick of vampires getting off with killing my Dwarves, so last night I spent a few hours planning out an execution chamber that will kill those filthy blood-suckers while leaving a body to be buried. So, here is my master plan.

I attach the steel menacing spike to a lever, and assign a dwarf to keep pulling it. Once the Vampire gets more holes than a blok of Elven Cheese, I send in the millitary to claim the body, and the vampire gets burried in a coffin.

I put this trap in each jail cell, so if a vampire gets put into any cell, I can kill him.

Ah... I guess I'm wondering if this is a good idea.

[Foamybeard]

Bump.

Looking for someone's opinion on this.

[MrSparky]

Make sure he's not too friendly with any unhappy dwarves unless you want a tantrum spiral
Make sure the blood doesn't get into the water supply unless you want more leeches.

[Loud Whispers]

Is that a rope or bed there? Because there's nothing to stop the vampire then from simply standing on a tile that's not a spike.


A simple drop chute onto a 1x1 spike pit that can be turned on and off repeatedly would suffice. Could double as a future well of unlife too.

[Iceblaster]

No, place this above the water supply, if you have a fort of them,I'm sure you won't die

[Mr Space Cat]

Or seal him away in the walls, still alive. Life insurance!

I usually create vampire oubliette* for these suckers (har har!).  My current fort had two of them in there when a minor tantrum spiral hit, and now they are both stricken by a never-ending melancholy.  I can't imagine a better fate.

*oubliette - a pit to put people into to forget about them.  I learned that from the movie Labyrinth 

[thegoatgod_pan]

Do exactly that, but add a well and a water source.

[ramensoup]

I have the same thing but I do have to agree with everyone else, Pit/Pond it, mix the blood with some water and forbid your booze supply for a little.

[Foamybeard]

I don't like exploits like that, I try to uh, have my dwarves be very Dwarvenly, not Vampire-y.

[Aussiemon]

It would be very interesting to have a fort where all Dwarves are expendable, except for a vampire elite class of your favorites.

That aside, I prefer symbolic 'solutions' that will leave them alive for an eternity in the most horrible ways. Sealed into foundations, crippled, insane, and/or forgotten. Give them a fitting end in the theme of the deity they profaned, maybe.

Heh. Niiice.

[Gavakis]

Just banish him to the caverns. If he survives a few years and bring him up, and put him in your military. ORRR send him alone into a goblin ambush, GCS, HFS, Siege, cave in, traps ( such as yours, its a good idea.) Loyalty cascade, or just use magma.

In one of my fortresses I just had a Danger-room with menacing spikes that I used to execute vampires that showed up. Just assign the suspect to a burrow of the room, lock the door, and pull the lever.
