I recently got a fortress working on its third year when a fire imp attacked and set my mechanic on fire, but he is not dying he isn't even hurt he took a nap on the brook and has no wounds. I don't know if the brook is keeping him alive or not, I know fire should be deadly because two caravan gaurds fell into my lava pit and died after seeing a fire imp. so what is going on?

EDIT: I converted him to a recruit to order him to stay in the brook and he bled to death.

Did you turn temperature off in the init files?

[druid91]

nope.

It's possible you took a glance at him when he only had light grey wounds; those ones are hard to spot. The light grey text looks almost exactly like white.

Fire is deadly. Fireballs are hit-and-miss. The imp may have simply missed, or had the shot hit clothing and was absorbed.

Standing on top of a brook is the same as standing on dry land- they're a bit weird like that.

Not a clue why he bled to death, though.

Fire causes wounds. Wounds cause bleeding. Bleeding causes death.
Therefore, Fire causes bloody death.

makes sense to me

He probably had the fire starting for a long time. Clothes may smolder for a loooooong time. But when it gets to the meat, the pain comes. I wonder why don't they just throw their clothes away though >.>.

[Sysice]

It's pretty simple.
They're dorfs.

[Blargityblarg]

I meant that I didn't think he'd caught fire at all. I know that fire causes bleeding to death.
