Question: My captive necromancer seems to be resurrecting the bodies slower and slower as time goes by. Can anyone offer an explanation why?
Zombie bacon farm?
Sort of like that, but instead of harvesting them for slaughter I'm just using them for target practice. It would be dwarfier to use a Bronze Colossus, but I haven't even been seiged yet.

Strange. Necromancers can't get tired or exhausted, and they don't need to eat, sleep, or drink, so it can't be any of those. I wonder if non-player controlled dwarves can suffer from alcohol withdrawal, as that could be a reason why, if the necromancer is a dwarf.

Its a Human, though the other one I captured is a dwarf. Perhaps it isn't that the necromancer is getting slower, but his thralls are getting weaker. It seems like the past couple times that this llama corpse has been hit with a bolt it went down like a rock. Perhaps the more injuries a thrall has, the less damage it can take?
What does the announcement "You have discovered a downward passage" mean?
It's probably not demon-related.
I already released those.
You found a passage in a cavern that goes to a cavern deeper than the one it starts. Look around and you'll eventually see a passage going down.
