Fortress Watchedsyrups, August 18, year 308.

Dwarven child Ast Soshnish has been missing for a week!!




Search patrols looked through the fortress' living rooms and meetings areas, and failed to find the kid.

Now, its your turn to help the fortress guard find the kid!  I'll provide screenshots and information as you keep asking for them from specific areas, and I won't just upload the entire fortress to the DF map archive.

(At this point I honestly dont know where the kid is or what condition...)

Dead somewhere outside due to an animal, or snatched and not yet off the map?

There is a line of cage traps at the front door that gets a snatcher every now and then. Theres 5 of them in the prison already. But yes, it could have been that one got in while one of the traps had already caught a Goblin and the second one somehow wasnt noticed by the 50-strong militia at the gates, on its way in nor out? Shall the fortress wait for a kidnapping announcement, which would be the second for the fortress, or keep looking?

[Erkki]

Looks like hes the son of a Speardwarf and a Marksdwarf... A kidnapping is starting to look likely now. No accouncement of one yet though, and the gate has been closed a lot lately. It has currently been open for a while, perhaps for that one week, to let the human merchants out.

I believe you can search for the corpse using the stocks screen. Assuming you have a book-keeper working at maximum precision, you can search for the corpse individually.

Wouldnt that be too easy?

[CaptainArchmage]

Have you checked any cages? They might have dead bodies in them.

[AutomataKittay]

Slab the brat to reassure the fortress!

I've only gotten those messages from dwarves stuck in cages to death, smashed by bridges, or whose corpses are pretty out of the way ( or far outside ).

Hmm. I do have a raising drawbridge but its lowering outside... Kinda impossible for a Dwarf to die to unless one stood there and survived the wildlife and goblins for months. Not ruling that out yet though.

Uhh, I found a full set of Dwarven clothing in one of the lower floors... 5 floors below the lowest living areas.

Inspect the area around it, see if there're any blood and stuff! Was it a sealed area?

Theres no blood, no tools or weapons. The place is behind a door but anyone/anything can pass the door... Directly from the main stairwell.

Oh, a 3rd dragon in 2 years...

What?!? What did you do to accomplish that?? I've never seen a dragon show up in fortress mode. Ever.

This.
I have only ever had 1 dragon. Ever. Did you set megabeast number to like 427869654566?

On the topic of the missing child, perhaps he dragged into a body of water by a pond grabber or carp or something.

I've only ever seen a proper dragon once too. And now 3 consecutive FBs/Titans/megabeasts were all Dragons. 300-year medium-sized world with megabeast number set untouched...

All ponds searched. No sign of him! Theres no stream or river present either.

EDIT: Search patrols called back: my 50-strong militia will now need to attempt to deal away with this Goblin invasion of 50 Goblins 50 mounts and 6 trolls...

[DVNO]

please tell me you can breed those dragons ....
