So I walled off my fortress entirely. Ensuring my machinations would proceed uninterrupted. Of course this didn't stop the migrants from coming around. While I was busy underground The migrants apparently startled a horse in the area who proceeded to kill two of them and severely wound a third. I had assumed that the third would die, and left him there to rot, the others were all mysteriously crushed under a drawbridge.  Well everyone except a child.

The child eventually went mad and started babbling, and died of thirst.
However, the man who was wounded had not. Curiosity peaked, I took a look. He was still unconscious, still severely wounded, and now had 3 or 4 rhesus macaques around him, all Over-exerted and all but one was unconscious.

I took another look and...

And if I'm not mistaken I think that means he's lost his throat. Yet, still alive.

[G-Flex]

And your dwarves aren't modded at all? I thought they needed throats in order to breathe.

[Kate Wissen]

Plain vanilla.

He's even worse now, its been another full season, and he's lost his left eye, his brain injury has worsend to green and has a light grey neck and lower spine injury. It's the freaking monkey inquisition. They seem to be keeping him alive and slowly torturing him.

Edit: Oh and he's nauseous. But still not suffocating, thirsty or hungry.

[Kate Wissen]

On the play by play monkey inquisition Mid-Winter he has gotten considerably worse. Now winded, he is missing the right elbow and everything below it, Missing his left hip and all that was attached to it, And has a few more red areas, the torso remains untouched, as do the internal organs with the exception of the brain at green and the lower spine at light grey.

I'm tempted bring him in and nurse him back to health, and see how useful a brain damaged cripple can be.

[G-Flex]

... Green? Green isn't a wound color. It goes:

Light grey
Brown
Yellow
Red
Dark grey

Not sure which you're talking about.

[Kate Wissen]

Ah, well looked green to me, but by that level system it would be a brown wound.

And while I'm at it another update, at this point he is a head, torso, half of a right arm, and right leg, and minus two eyes. Also a new brown upper spine wound. I've also found out through a save scum that if I attempt to save him he will die, this is basically life support.

[WorkerDrone]

Thats...very grim.

So if you go out and kill the monkies and drag him inside, he immediatly dies? Might be a bug you'd want to submit..

[Lidhuin]

Monkeys used in the future as life-support for combat-dwarves?

A new battle pet, to keep your wounded soldiers alive?

:p

Of course, if they'd stop wounding him further, that would be nice.

[Aqizzar]

"WHY CAN I NOT DIE?!"

Seriously, he hasn't even died of thirst yet?  This is the logical outcome of immortality - the guy was taken down by monkeys who can't put together quite how to actually kill him, but he's hideously mangled so he has to sit there and take it.

[Zorgn]

That dwarf is now a religious symbol. Save, bring him inside, and let him die. Wait three months, and if he raises from the dead, all hail Urist McNugget.

[John Johnston]

That's... exceptionally grim.  Recover him, and surround his sickbed with monkey-skull totems.

[Soadreqm]

At least build him a nice tomb or something. With statues and stuff.

[Asehujiko]

Dreadnoughts are for wussies. Real dwarves use monkey hordes!

[AlienChickenPie]

I don't think I want to see that story in comic form.

Anyway, this should be tested in a controlled environment. If the rhesus macaques naturally pick apart wounded dwarves (goblins too?), this could be an interesting trap- drop victims 3-4 z-levels (to stun and soften them up) and let the macaques have their way with them.
