I butchered alive someone today. He had it coming !
Okay, seriously now, this topic is about giving a recipy to get a target safely to the amount of damage shown above.
There are
many advantages to it.
- It trains your adventurer.
- If the target is one of your retired fortress dwarves, you can safely have crippled dwarves. Why you would want to do that is up to you.
On the plus side, this method trains the wrestling and fighting skills. - It's fun.
Now some important facts to know :
- The possible causes of death are :
the loss of too much blood (target bled for too long),
the loss of cerebral function (brain got damaged),
and the inability to breathe (both lungs are damaged).
By following the steps carrefully, none of these will happen to your beloved target. - Fast travelling away.
Fast travelling everytime the target is "pale" (about to die from blood loss), allows it to rest and not die.
So you can make one or several steps of the experiment, fast travel, seek and find the target, and continue the next step of the experiment. - It's safer to savescum a little. Just because you never know.
Experiments have been known to turn wrong. Sometimes the target doesn't make it. So, saving often isn't a bad idea. - Passed out targets make up for easy chirurgical cuts.
- You are not a murderer. The target must survive, and you must care for it.
Without further due, let's get to the recipy !
Find a target deemed worthy enough for the experiment.
Start the experiment by cutting both his hands and feet. This is the easy part. But don't forget to quickly travel away so the target doesn't bleed out.
By cutting both feet, we assure the target doesn't run away; and so finding it afterwards gets easier.
Cutting both hands prevents retaliation.
The target is now
unable to grasp or walk. But our work isn't done yet !
After that, you must make sure you don't miss your hits. Armor becomes a problem as it prevents cutting too close to the body.
So this step is about getting rid of any protection the target has.
Grab the target, and just wait (pressing "."). The target will helplessly try to escape.
Wait for the target to pass out from over-exertion.
It is very helpful to use step 3 before every next step to make the target pass out, and allow easier work.
Now, use wrestling to remove the target clothes. First grab a piece of clothing, and gain its possession. Note that you need to strap your weapons first and grab clothings with bare hands.
Proceed with every piece of clothing. You will need to drop grabbed items.
With the target now nude, carefully cut remaining arms and legs. Pay attention to the loss of blood here. You don't want an accident to occur.
It's time to remove unwanted teeth. Punching proves to be a reliable way of removing the target's teeth.
Don't forget to cut the ears and the nose too.
You can end up slicing the target's throat for a nice massive scar, but be careful it doesn't die !
For this part, you will not need any weapon.
Grab the target by the head. And meticulously pinch the tongue and the mouth.
After that, gouge the eyes, the cheeks, the eyelids and the lips.
The target is now
blind, mute and probably deaf.
Draw your weapon, and slice the lower body of the target. You have to make the guts come out, so don't linger !
When the guts are revealed, cut them apart ! Beware of vomit !
This part is extremely demanding, as the target tends to be cut in half and die. So saving often helps a lot.
It is possible to aim the upper body, and destroy one lung. Or both. But it really diminishes the target's survival chances. Since I care for my target, I didn't do it in this experiment. Damaging both lungs means death, you don't want to do that.
Aiming the upper body also allows you to pierce through the target's hearth. It won't kill the target if you don't allow it to bleed out.
You can also stab the lower body to aim for pancreas, kidneys, stomach, and spleen.
This is the final product. Sadly, DF doesn't display all missing parts such as teeths and nose, so we have to look it up in the description view :
Fun facts :
- The target is still able to talk.
- The target is now legendary wrestler and fighter thanks to you and your accelerated training.
- The target is happy after improving fore-mentionned skill
NB :Please note it is always possible to induce more injuries on the target. As an example, you could scratch the target's head and neck, adding more scars.
You could also toss some freakish slime on its skin so that it blisters... Burning the skin might work too.
But I believe this guide is sufficient enough for you to have a glimpse at the possibilities of dismembering.
I hope this comes in handy to anyone who needs it.
