Ghostly dwarf died of dehydration
« on: August 30, 2014, 06:02:00 am »
Okay, so, i just had a LARGE die out in the arctic.  I just got the message "Cerol Leberseth" Ghostly miner, has been found dead of dehydration.  So, how in the hell has this happened? did my complete lack of foresight in insuring that all of the dwarves can drink really reach into the afterlife?

Maybe it was a ghost vampire?

But, anyone have hints as to why some dwarves in my fort are going on random rampages and killing random passers by? I suspect some kind of curse or evil spirit at work. I have like 50 dead animals and ten dwarves all within relatively short periods of rampaging. Imprisoning the culprits just seems to move the curse/malady to someone else.

Engraved on the monitor is an exceptionally designed image of FPS in Dwarf Fortress and it's multicore support by Toady. Toady is raising the multicore. The artwork relates to the masterful multicore support by Toady for the Dwarf Fortress in midwinter of 2010. Toady is surrounded by dwarves. The dwarves are rejoicing.

The only logical explanation is that the miner died of dehydration then turned into ghostly miner and only after that his body was discovered.

This is dwarf fortress. Why are you saying that logic belongs here 100% of the time?

This.

He was already known as a ghostly miner by the time the body was found.
