2nd-4th Hematite: 2 cats 2 dwarf recruits and a dog die. Bleed to death, one after the other. The cause of this is unknown until i realize that both of the recruits were members of the constructive guilds, who fought the final forgotten beast. It caused fever through some sort of dust it breathed. But should fever really give the message "Bled to death"? Or is there a murderer at large in the fort?
Edit: We seem to have a terrible disease loose in the fort. Those infected start bleeding heavily and eventually die, but I don't know how it spreads. For now I simply quarantine all those infected, although the infected animals are a bit of a headache.
Edit2: I think the disease spreads because everyone wants to pick up stuff from the corpses that the last forgotten beast killed. This takes them through pools of poisonous extract. Since I forbade everything in the area and sealed it off we have had no further dwarfs falling sick. A whole lot of animals are currently sick, however, and the disease has cost many lives, including a gem. Three goblin thieves were sacrificed to Armok.
Edit3: It is now the 12th of malachite and the disease seems to have been defeated. To do this I poured huge amounts of water into the fort, and everywhere else I could reach. It is now very muddy everywhere you look, but at least nobody is suffering from Bleeding Fever anymore. The repercussions are still being felt though, mostly in the form of post-trauma unhappiness. We've only had a single tantrum, and nobody got hurt. The Tantrum thrower is now in jail causing this little annoyance:
Anyone got a solution?
