An extremely slow metalworker due to drinking only blood without alcohol burrowed in a small room with a bed that has yet to be used.

So far he's only been getting the useless planters and potash makers and such, but he's still too much of a threat.


I'll let you guys decide his fate.

Fortress stats:
Weathering goblin sieges? Check.
Caverns breached? Check.
Cave Swallow Men disturbed? Check.
Magma discovered?
Savage biome? Check.
Iron bearing ore?
Massive amounts of bronze and gold? Check.
Ability to engineer anything basic?
Megabeasts on pilgrimage toward fortress? Check.

So many tasty options...

[StagnantSoul]

Keep him in a 3X3X3 fully sealed room, in a 1X1X1 hole.

Train him for espionage action.  see if you can get him to befriend a dwarf who will die so he can go insane.  I forget if dwarves can talk through a fortification . . .

[tonnot98]

Oh nice, a forgotten beast in the shape of a...

A normal sized dinosaur with deadly dust? Okayy...

Edit: It's in the second cavern layer of which I have not yet fully breached as in have a proper entrance to, it just kinda appeared when carving stairs downward.

He also disappeared from my units list...

Double edit: A cyclops too? odang

Get your sentences in quick, folks!

[grody311]

Burrow him over the dwarven children rooms.

[Urist McVoyager]

Use him as a Noble's sentence. Let him feed on the annoying Nobles instead of wasting Magma on their worthless hides.

[Thisfox]

Keep him in the kids rooms seems sensible to me too. Pity you can't cage him and sell him to the elves! That would be a scream!

Get him trained up as military, have him go up against a werebeast, and find out if you can infect him with were as well as vampirism.

Make him his own tomb with sculptures and statue garden, and keep him burrowed in there as a sort of morbid entertainment. The kids would no doubt hold parties in his tomb.

I still think it's a pity you can't make memorial slabs until after someone has died. I'd love to make memorials to rather exciting events, such as when we first got pineapple wine, or when the dogs gave birth to three litters of puppies within days of each other and suddenly outnumbered the entire fort of dwarves. Writing my own slabs would be fun dammit.

I think you have nobles dying to meet this newly discovered vampire...

[h0lx]

I usually wall mine in and make them mayor and manager etc. Walled in nobles' demands and mandates can be casually ignored and in case of manager, they will work fast since they won't have to stroll to their office if they live in it. Also grants your fortress immortality, when fun comes, next migrants will take over the fort

[Skullsploder]

I make my first one record keeper and manager, and then I give the rest a permanent barracks inside my goblin pit. Not as a death sentence! I just have them training forever, occasionally chucking in goblins for them to mess around with. They're very useful if you're near a necromancer tower.

[Ravendarksky]

send him to explore the full extent of all your caverns. If he survives then I think he's earned a delicious meal or two.

I've already explored one layer fully, and the second has a flying dinosaur with deadly dust, and I don't feel like entering ANYONE into there.

A vampire's head being bitten off isn't as fun as you'd think, maybe it'd drink his blood and become a vampire forgotten beast.

Use him as a Noble's sentence. Let him feed on the annoying Nobles instead of wasting Magma on their worthless hides.

And speaking of nobles, my fortress is about to be a barony as soon as this diplomat buggers off.

And no, I did not have the foresight to elect the vampire as the baron, sorry.

[Button]

I've been meaning to create a vampire-tended mausoleum. Give him masonry, burial and push/haul vehicles, and send him the corpses of the dead via minecart.

[Billy Jack]

Make him into a "black box"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_box

Give him a room big enough to house a couple of workshops along with a chair and table. Make a hole above to drop materials into the room. Give him a minecart and another hole to drop things out of. Make him manager, bookkeeper, mason, carpenter, etc. to keep him busy.

Urist: "I don't know how it works, but we drop some stones in here, and blocks pour out of the bottom"

I've never done it, but I will now.

What if he ends up being hit by some cobaltite?
