After getting his foot cut off in a battle against a lion, losing his wife to a lion (connection), and being drafted to (fail to) kill said lion, a potter has gone insane.
He is "Crawling around babbling!"

It's this attention to detail that makes me love DF. Among other things.

Rasputin calls bullshit on assured death for spilled dwarves.

He survived it! 

And then two years later he got poisoned (enough cyanide for 5 people!), stabbed, shot (in the forehead), drowned in an icy river, and was left under foot+ thick ice.

He died of hypothermia.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh, wow, I didn't know insane dwarves followed burrows designations.

Rasputin obviously only died because there was a burrow set under the river.

Ah and when he was cremated there were accounts of him sitting upright.

I also like how when you spill a human's or an elf's or a dwarf's or an anything's guts, it just says "spilling the guts".
When you do the same to a goblin, "spilling his/her stinking guts".

[A-chana]

I'm wondering if there's another level after that if, say, the creature can't even crawl, though I'm not sure if even that's possible (no arms, damaged or missing legs?). Saw the stinking guts one for the first time the other day, too.

Another one I kind of like is how you can't just abandon during a siege -- you "succumb to the invasion", and everyone in your fort dies instead of just settles elsewhere. They all starve to death instead of die in some combat-related way, though, but I think I understand why (what if you abandon if there's one or two badly-injured invaders left, and you have 150+ dwarves and countless livestock? A million kills for the surviving invaders, even if one has a shattered spine and the other has no eyes). Maybe in future versions, they'll experience all those pleasant world-gen deaths? I'd like to see that one.

Any corpse will do that if you cremate them or burn them on a pyre without cutting their tendons first. The tendons dry out, shrink, and pull the body upright.

It's actually a bit hazy if Rasputin ever took the cynanide at all - if he did, it was not in the cakes or wine, because after aforementioned spilling of his guts, he suffered from hyperacidity and avoided anything with sugar in it, according to his daughter (wine does have sugar in it, that's what makes the fermenting process happen). On the other hand, some people say he may have built up a resistance to the poison in question through Mithridatism.

That said they should've tried magma in the first place, like we do for all nobles.

cooking a cake with cyanide also removes the cyanide trough some reactions trough this produces a poisonous gas that is a danger to whoever is doing this.

No, it was that damned Aquato curse! [/unfunny]
