This fort has it all. Waterfall generator, happiness all around, two FBs killed, one siege averted singlehandedly by a dwarf.

Then came the third forgotten beast.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13790475/Shesam.png

I laughed it off at first. "Vomit? Haha! That's a liquid! It'll go down easy!"

 My best fighter, Sigun Fencesounds the Rough Neutrality of Subtlety, was the only one caught in its vapors. It was then that I learned that it would not go down without taking someone with it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13790475/Sigun.png

Oddly enough, Sigun isn't showing any sign of damage on the w screen when viewing; only when viewing with Z does all this show up.

The real question is, is my dwarf done for, is there anything that can be done? That's full-body necrosis there, combined with swelling. so I don't think it'll go so well This is my first syndrome FB, so it's new to me.

Note that the miasma listed with the things that have affected her mood is from her; also note that I didn't worry until I saw that miasma.

This is the worst that I could have feared D:

[Angel Of Death]

I would suggest locking that dorf in a room and examining the effects of the disease for !!SCIENCE!!. Also, I heard vomit may contain the disease, thus spreading it amongst your dorfs *not 100% sure on that one*

I don't think she'll survive long enough to lock her in the room, and I think there's some GCS looming over the corner to finish her off anyway

EDIT: Surviving, but unfortunately, the syndrome had a delayed effect on the axedwarf. Thankfully, the diagnoser is all over him.

The badass is standing outside as if she's going to start killing rhesus macaques any second

EDIT 2: Okay so it's not that bad, it doesn't seem to be too contagious at all

EDIT 3: The badass just killed a mountain titan, I think she's fine, though she has hilariously bad teeth now, and, looking at her wounds, she's apparently nothing but bones with a brain now, unless unspecified wounds on every body part means nothing

[MrShovelFace]

you do know that you could of sent anybody after that guy, even a kitten is just as good as a valuable trained dorf

[Putnam]

yep

I just didn't quite expect the syndrome to be so necrotizing

I also didn't expect dwarven medicine to be so advanced

I suddenly thought of a line from Meet the Medic when you posted that.
"Oh don't be such a baby, ribs grow back!" *turns around* "No they don't..."

Indeed zey don't. Note also that teeth don't, either.

[Qinetix]

I think teeth grow back (well , only once after the milk teeth fell )

[Ieb]

I would assume that her entire body was covered in the rot-goo.
Since she survived, congrats. As far as I remember, having a full-body rotten tissue removal surgery done and successfully recovering from it causes "things" to your units, especially so to military. Of the first part I'm not sure, but I recall someone said that the soldiers suffering similar rot-disease had all their skin removed(as well as their top-most eye tissue layers) ended up being unable to feel pain. That and blind. Because they no longer had functional eyes.

I've had these "super-soldiers" once as well, the biggest bunch of bad-asses in the entire military got caught in rot-substance, ended up on the surgery table and came out blind. They still did their job like I told them to, move to station, walk like normal. There was just ONE thing. They were blind. So, when the enemy came, all I could do was move them in position and let the enemy take the first swing. They were skilled enough to dodge such puny attacks and start fighting like normal afterwards, but yeah.

Not sure if Kill orders would make blind dorfs chase targets like normal.

[Sutremaine]

This is where 40d's follow-the-leader squad style could come in handy. They could be like a non-mute Yala and an army of Pans.

[Ubiq]

Nickname her General Grievous and give her a whip.

At any rate, you now know who to send out first if a dragon shows up; no body fat makes her fireproof.

Oh, so is that what it means when it lists every part of her body under "wounds" and doesn't give any details? That she is now a walking skeleton with intact internal organs?

...

AWESOME. And my axedwarf is the same way, too! Oh man, I hope she gets married and has a kid. Just the mental image is... hilariously scary.

Also, there won't be any dragons, I think, since the world just passed into the golden age 

EDIT: ALSO, my Speardwarf's name is "Lorbam Bronzepuzzling the Cooperative Blanketed Gulf of Biting". I just checked, and she seems to have been hit by the dust as well. More importantly, however, I didn't know that there could be 2 adjectives to a title. Also, the textbox is moving the WYSIWYG over to the left like a typewriter O_o. Also, it appears that the dust makes these dwarves incapable of killing people with their weapons, instead using shields. I now have two semi-artifact shields.

Siege. Clown leader. Invasion. Entered through mist generator (bastards). Lost.

Fun!

[RAKninja]

some "golden age" if there are still goblins being openly led into battle by clowns.

oh well, time to design a better mist generator, huh? =D
