So I had a vampire mage in the third wave of immigrants to my fort. I didn't want to deal with a bloodsucker (I had even disabled normal vampires), so I decided to sacrifice him for some equipment (fortunately he only drained a useless dwarf whilst I was building the temple). So I did, but he didn't actually die (though I got the message and the bloody armor and axe). So I did it again and again he didn't die.
So can you get infinite bloody gear of armoks by sacrificing vampires (and/or vampire mages) over and over again? He did start moving REALLY slowly after the first sacrifice, but he kept keeping on.
