Random Merchant???
« on: June 28, 2011, 05:25:57 pm »

Some merchant comes to my fortress, but my trade depot wasn't set up, so it says he left, but i find out that he didn't, because i got a message saying: merchant went berserk! I found him dead on the ground next to his maceman guard, then i got another message saying: camel (tame) went berserk! I locked my doors so that the dwarves don't try to get the merchant's dropped stuff and get attacked by the camel. What should i do now? I have plenty of food, and a bit of ale/beer, so my dwarves will be fine for a while, but once i run out of stuff to drink, even if i unforbid my front doors and kill that camel, my dwarves will die of thirst because the river is frozen. Although winter i almost over. Should i kill the camel and take the merchant's stuff? :D

If the maceman is still there, what's there to worry about?

Had two dwarfs killed by an insane yak.  Had to forbid everything the yak was caring, and had to wait until the yak starved to death.  Remember to memorialize your merchants, or they'll come back to haunt and hurt your dwarfs.

Nevermind about that, earlier during the winter i had dug stright into the river while it was frozen, in the spring i noticed that there was a small lake slowly expanding out of the river, i dug a channel though. And it went straight into my base!!!!! i just ended up trying to make the most of it and i dug way far down but got ambushed by fire demons and stuff from the lava, so i just abandoned
