I have a craftsdwarf, Aban Shecededem, who I'm near certain will die soon. She's thrown two tantrums, actually in the midst of one right now, and has multiple permanent, massive injuries. Lung damage, both knees, and left something else on the leg are STILL sutured after more than a year; no improvement, and she keeps becoming "Shaken" by major injuries. For most of that year, after suffering severe protracted beatings from several escaped goblin prisoners (unarmed, but the dang slow militia didn't help matters), she has been "Stressed". For four months now, I think, she's been "Drawn and haggard", after two or three bouts of Depression so far and the two tantrums.
How do I save this dwarf?
It's not too important, but it'd be nice to save her life. Even though her skills amount to very little useful. She likes shale; I've fitted her room with that stuff. That's ... about it for accomplishable likes. Although her ultimate goal was to raise a family, and she has had 5 kids at the fortress ... so ... that's still not saving her hide, though it did slow down (last time she had a child) the bouts of tantrums and depression by a month or so. This fortress is excessively rich in gold, has individual rooms plus 8 "stress rooms" going to nobles once I get more. She's in one, full of shale and gold. I'm probably going to assign her a tomb sometime soon ... xD. Massive dining room with an artifact ... chair I think, could be table, serving as anchor for the room. There's like 100 each chairs and tables in there. For a population of 178 or something.
And she's tantrumming, which is my problem with it. I need her to not do that, even if she just goes and dies in a corner, she needs to not damage useful members of the fortress...
Anyways, cleared out my three heavily armed goblin captives. It took about 30 bolts or more, but the marksdwarves killed one (bleeding while not under fire anymore) and subdued two. However, the first militiaman inside, despite ordering ALL of them, including raw recruit squads, was the Legendary Hammerdwarf Militia Commander ushrir Duraddoren, a multi-Legendary supersoldier megadwarf who laid both surviving goblins out with a couple blows to the head. So there was really no need to disable them first, he could've annihilated ALL of them on his own ... seriously. It would've been a slaughter the minute he stepped in the door, hammers flying and goblins crumbling.
