According to rumor the town of Ghostmopped is a hive of criminal activity causing great upset to certain other human locations. Only I went there, and it looks normal enough.

There's a vampire hidden underground surrounded by corpses and skeletons, but apart from that I don't see anything that stands out. If I talk to people about the rumor they just say 'It's terrible' or something.

How am I supposed to hand out vigilante justice?

For some reason towns/hamlets/whatevers seem to hate all other towns/hamlets/whatevers in existence. It probably has to do with civilization ties. In other words, whoever spread that rumor wants you to go do their civ's dirty work for them.

I've been working with the assumption that the person hanging around in the dungeon with all the corpses is a criminal. Usually he/she has a job title like "overlord" or something.

Also, after you receive news of a criminal organization, the faction name will be in your quest log (shift-Q then E). Once you talk to people in a town, their faction name will also show up in the log, so that's one way of identifying who to kill.  I'm guessing the vampire is your criminal.

I thought that as well when I started this version. It's more or less a conditioned response at this point, given that that is how it worked in previous versions.

I smashed a warlord's face in, and when I told a nearby priest, he spat at me. Later, I went to the market, and some nearby merchants started yelling that I was a murderer. Two even drew their knives, but I put them down too quick to see if they would actually attack me or not. Which probably didn't help the town's opinion of me.

My legends entry said that I was a rumored killer in that civilization, oddly enough.

It's also made more confusing by the fact that the responses are often rather vague. Once DFhack gets set up for version 40.08 (or possibly when the version settles down somewhat), it can be used to see what the heck is going on.

The best way to deal with problems is to slaughter everyone.

Profession is just for their job.

To figure out the group, you have to ask about the local ruler. This will get them to tell you the name of the group that owns the town and the name of who rules the group.
