Not too long ago a Ghostly Hammerdwarf has risen in my fort. It doesn't really do anything other than flying around, but it still bothers me as I can't put it to rest. Its name doesn't show up in the list when I try to engrave a slab (only dead Dark Stranglers), nor are his remains even on my map. In fact, I haven't lost a single dwarf so far on this embark.

Are random ghosts a feature of terrifying embarks or is this just some buggy way of the game allowing a dark strangler to come back to haunt me? Because if that is the case I will have to engrave a shitton of slabs until I manage to put it to rest.

Did you have a caravan come on map? It's possible that a guard got killed, dwarven guards will make ghosts.

[Sandrew]

No caravan guards died, I'm fairly sure of that. Besides, dead dwarfs should leave remains.



edit; Oh. After checking my list of corpses, apparantly a caravan guard fell into a pond and drowned. I'm going to retrieve the body and see if it can be buried. If not, how will I get rid of this ghost?

[sneakey pete]

Burial slab instead?

[Sandrew]

Burial slab instead?

Couldn't engrave his name. I have since drained the pond and put his body in a poorly constructed wooden casket.

[UristMcHuman]

So, yes, caravan guards got killed. Let's just leave it at that.
