[Jesus]

My miner was digging something when a forgotten beast came. he started jumping around and dodging its attacks around some cage traps.
The Forgotten Beast had poisonous vapor as a special attack, and was made of crystal, so i thought the miner was as good as gone. So i went
a couple of z-levels up, prepared the militia and traps, and the beast was defeated with only 2 civilians dead. When i went to check the unit list, i saw
on the top of the list my miner whose job is still 'No Job <Caged>'.

How did this happen?

Should i release him (what would be the fun in that?), place him in a public area for display,
or throw him into an arena to fight with troglodytes and naked mole dogs?

anything normally immune to traps can trigger a trap when unconcious or stunned. So if he gets a hard hit (or from te poison) and either gets stunned or unconcious, he'd trigger the cage trap if he's standing on it. Just be happy it wasn't a weapons trap. Webs work similarly in making creatures vulnerable to traps

you can get him out by building the cage and unassigning him, or building the cage, link it to a lever and pull the lever. There is no benefit to keeping him in the cage. He'll die of hunger or thirst at some point

I know some people use cage traps as a sort of security device when fighting FBs. A dwarf that gets hurt too much triggers the trap and is safely in the cage and can't be finished off by the creature

Aw.

Is that you really you Jesus? Or is it just another Jesús.
Sorry had to ask that.
