I've tried to search here and Google in general but can't find the answer I need. I'm playing classic 47.05 with the lazy newb pack, adventurer mode. I thought my dwarf had successfully cleared a necromancer's tower and was victorious. But now whenever I fast travel and stop, I'm "bleeding!" and my skin has wounds on every part of the body. If I walk around just a couple of steps the bleeding stops but about 80% of the time as soon as I fast travel and stop, my dwarf is bleeding all over again. Is there some kind of ghoul Undead infection that the dwarf got? Or something else entirely? A bug?

I tried full-heal in dfhack but that didn't fix it. Z screen says I don't have any health problems.

The wound/description screens say nothing even when you look at it while "bleeding"? And do you actually lose blood, become faint or pale? Or leave a blood trail on the ground?

Is your character undead by the way? Like a intelligent undead or husk maybe?

[wysire]

Says Heavy Bleeding on Z until I take a step or 2. I can't see that I'm undead. No blood trail, not faint or pale.

Although the strongest odor is death. Maybe that's my dwarf...

You can check syndromes with https://docs.dfhack.org/en/0.47.05-r8/docs/tools/show-unit-syndromes.html, though full-heal should remove any I think.

Tried syndromes command, can't seem to make it work. Either with just the unit selected on the map while (l)ooking or hitting a once he's being looked at.

[Ziusudra]

It doesn't giv any output if the selected unit doesn't hav any syndromes. Opening the z screen and using show-unit-syndromes selected, works for me. I am on DFHack 0.47.05-r8, if you're using the starter pack you're probably on r7; it looks like there weren't any changes to that tool though.

Thanks Ziusudra, now we're getting somewhere. I drank a bit so something would show up and used the syndrome command from launcher.

I have a mystery...If it's not fatal I guess I have an interesting hero for a while. Like the melting bloody face of Major Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Any idea how to clear up a mystery syndrome? I have tried clean, spotclean, full-heal (which heals him but then he's bleeding after fast travel again, lol). Syndrome doesn't show up in dfhack unless he's drunk. Man I love this game.

After a little more research: I definitely ran into a Necromancer's Experiment, because I was being challenged with the "Identify yourself!" dialog at one of the necromancer's barrows (not the main tower). I think I have Night Sickness which has random symptoms. Quote from wiki: These range from mildly hazardous (mild blisters from inhaling boiling blood) to instantly fatal (severe necrosis from a contact poison attached to a breath weapon/creature made of blood).

Atesh thought he was going to go challenge Queen Tradewell for the Crown but life is uncertain FUN!

Mystery solved (I'm pretty sure). Thanks guys!

[Ziusudra]

Are there any contaminates on you or your stuff? Like some dust or extract that could be giving you the syndrome again?

[wysire]

I used the clean and spotclean commands before (and again just now) but I still bleed after fast travel. Unfortunately, I'm starting to have some crashes too. That would really be sad because I think this is survivable (and cool!)

Edit - actually I am seeing spots of blood from dead necromancers when I look at a few items I'm wearing. I was doing it wrong. "clean items" cleaned the blood off and I think I might be cured! Thanks Z!
