[Vile Ampersand]

In DF I have a little bloody tradition, The Blood Feast, or as it's known in dwarfish, Nazushodad. This yearly ritual, which I have followed ever since my older brother taught me my first designation, involves hundreds of what ever living things I can find, merchants, elves, crazies, pets, and when all else runs short, dwarves. The ritual consists of placing many many creatures in a special drainage tunnel, letting goblins in or activating spikes or siege crossbows into the room. the blood would flow if it was a fluid, not an item, but that can easily be amended. I let a trickle of water through the tunnel, 3/7, which carries the blood away and piles the bodies up against the grates. The blood items are carried by the water into a giant underground basin, from which four giant pillars protrude. On the top of these pillars rest my legendary dwarves (well, what's left of them at any rate). The blood fills the basin halfway and the blood is sweet. Have you ever seen the blood of 100 dwarves, goblins, and other meat bags at once? It is beautiful and I see it every dwarven new year. Armok is not a nice god.

Sounds good. Maybe you can make a Youtube video of it?

Oooookay... This concerns me and at the same time I'm going to build it in my next fortress...

If you can get a GCS and can trap a forgotten beast with its webs, you should drain the blood over your beast as some sort of ritual to your beast-god.

Also: use goblins everytime and make it a sacrifice for victory in war.

I now feel the need to set this up in my own fortress.

I have been looking for something like this, actually. Can you implement this in a way that you can save the blood and use it in a repeating pump, so that you can create a blood fountain?

Blood and other contaminants are left behind when a pump... well... pumps water. A shame, really.

Unless you turn blood into water, maybe?

I was actually going to make something like this.  A 1x1 execution shaft with a room of 7/7 water at the bottom.  Drop goblins and other beasties in there, letting their organs, blood, and bones pile up in a grim stew.  Then when the elves or goblins come knocking I'll flood a corridor with this horrific mixture and let them drown in their comrades.
