Are my badgers rotting from inside out?
« on: April 09, 2011, 04:21:31 pm »

A season ago I had my badgers fight a weird alligator...thingy forgotten beast , only one soldier took part in the fighting and she seems to be okay but I saw all the badgers who fought in the battle suddenly vomit and fall down with all their limbs going red and then yellow (rotting?), after laying there helpless for a while they slowly crawled back to their master. Are they going to die? Because if they do the soldier  might go insane...

It is very likely the forgotten beast had a poison attack of some sort. Either a sting, bite, gas, spittle or extract.

It hit your badgers. They won't survive especially if it's necrosis poison.

Yes, they will die. Its due to the Forgotten Beast's blood or ichor causing necrosis, and the badgers' limbs are rotting because they stepped on it. The dwarves that are wearing any foot clothing (socks, shoes, boots: basically any dwarf that isn't a child) will be totally fine.

Only for a while. They stepped on it, so they will take it back to the fort in microscopic amounts on the bottoms of their shoes.

First your children will get infected. Children never wear clothes, as they are born naked. So they will step on the stuff brough back by your guys. And rot from their feet up.

Same with animals and pets.

Then lastly, come the adults. By this time usually the fort is in a tantrum spiral, or very close to one, thanks to the kids and pets dying out.

The dwarves all seem fine, now the badgers are spreading puss all around the fortress, large trails of it. I think they are rotting.

The area where the FB died isn't visited by children but thanks for the heads up.

Be sure to post in this thread when it hits the dwarves.

Can you tell us if it was blood or whatnot? What did the FB's description say?

No no. It doesn't matter. If the soldiers stepped on it, they will take it back to the fort on the bottom of their shoes. The stuff will end up on your fort's floors that way, and the children will step on it.

Well it seems the badgers are actually spreading it I just hope the kids haven't stepped on it although chances are they have. I am going to check.

"Dak -
A huge three-eyed alligator. It has a pair of knobby antennae and it belches and croaks. It's heliotrope scales are blocky and overlapping. Beware it's noxious secretions!'

Seems that whats making the badgers rot is it's extract.

Throw your badgers in the cavern, and throw the soldiers in too. Make them massacre random stuff, it doesn't matter! They're all infected! KILL THEM WITH FIIIRREEEE

After some massive rot and badger pus being shot on every square foot of the fortress so far I only see a lot of "standing impaired" badgers.

Use dfclean (comes in DFHack) and make a bath for your dwarfs, with a burrow alert to make them all walk through it.

Oh yeah actually they fought two FB's so it might be this other one that has frozen extract- all the badgers are covered in their own pus, vomit, frozen extract, regular extract, the blood of two FB's and the blood of random goblins. The dwarves all appear to be clean.

I don't understand why the hospital isn't equipped to handle infections like this.
