Bring them home!
« on: July 14, 2008, 10:12:36 am »
I have just rescued four dwarven childs who were enslaved by the goblins. I've brought them to the city where they come from, but they keep asking me to go onward when I talk to them.
Now, do I need to find their parents or do I need to go somewhere specific in the dwarven capital city if I want to save them ( read, get rid of them ).
If this isn't really implented yet, I could always use them as wolf fodder.

Hmm, i didn't know you could actually do that. Did the children have to get abducted from fortress mode? Or am i just missing out on something?

Yes, they were abducted during world gen. You might be missing out on the new version. *Points to the news*

This was a little exciting adventure - I found a little elf kid and took him away from the goblins (later I check and her history even stated she escaped there).

I haven't found a way to release them, though.  Taking them to their hometown doesn't release them (tried all the talking options).

Since I've seen legends that say 'reunited with' mom & dad, perhaps you have to find a parent?  I tried talking to the druid, but no go.

I couldn't find the parents, so I went back to rescue the dwarf I saw there...ony there was now a dwarf thief and hammerdwarf there as well - the hammerdwarf smashed me in twain.

Yeah I rescued three human kids and took one to his home and talked to his father but neither will recognize it yet.  After one too many wolf ambushes they all disapeared left but only one died during the combats and it wasn't the one I had found the father of.  My guess is that its not fully implemented yet.

i've had similar problems and from what i'm guessing is that it is indeed part of the incomplete game. I.E. they kidnapped children are suppose to be free once you complete the mission by talking to the mayor/druid/whatever. and not when you find the parent (which could take a large amount of dedication and time)

probably should mention this in the future of fortress thread or the bug forum, not quite sure if this counts as a bug or not, definitely should be put in a place toady will notice it tho.
