I recently managed to take out a child snatcher skulking around my fortress, but I later found out he'd already gotten his hands on a child. He didn't leave the map before my military got to him, but I can't find the kid anywhere. The parents list the kid on their relationship screens, but she can't be found with the other units. Oddly, on the profile page I got to via the relationship screen, she's not dead and has the thought "happy to be free"
Can I get her back?
-
She inside the bag? lol.
-
There's a bag, but nothing's in it.
-
The kid is gone. If you got the message that a child had been stolen, it means the goblin thief had already left the map. The goblin you killed wasn't the kidnapper, it was a different goblin who you didn't kill who did it.
When a child is kidnapped, they stay on the Units screen, aren't dead, is still listed on relationship screens, and gets the 'happy to be free' thought. But they're still never coming back to your fortress.
-
Ah well, saves me looking through all the dropped loot again.
Thanks for the answers, anyway!
-
But they're still never coming back to your fortress.
Sadly, not even as a "goblin" sieger. that would be awesome.
-
But they're still never coming back to your fortress.
Except possibly as the leader of a squadron of gobbos, right?
-
I have to wonder, do you think the "happy to be free" thought comes from be taken out of the bag, or from being freed from the fortress?

Sweet baby jesus, it all makes sense now...
The goblins aren't the monster, we are.
They send in teams to try and kill off adults, and save children before they're fully assimilated. So that they can at least have a few survive after they wipe the place clean with sieges.
Dwarves rape the land, slaughter en masse, have corrupt governments, and have little care for anything but themselves, and they don't even care about themselves that much.
The goblins are attempting to save the world, from dwarves.
It's like DF was created by fucking M. Night Shyamalan!

Unfortunately, the dwarven child disappears from history,as well as the goblin that snatched it. I imagine that this is dwarf fortress's way of saying...
No one Escapes from the Dwarfs

Actually if I recall, you can find the child in the Legends screen and sometimes they can actually go off and do things. I think. I seem to remember a LP of some child being kidnapped in Fortress mode and then found in Adventurer mode.
I may be imagining it all. I tend to do that with DF a lot.

Aww, really? Well no one fucking told me >:(.

Did you see the 'dwarven child care' thread?
Goblins aren't stealing children. They're rescuing them.
-
The child could be having a happy thought for leaving your fortress and escaping a life of toiling in the heat of the forges and alcholism, if you look in the raws a baby snathcher will tell you(in adventure mode hypothetically)
"I rescued lost children"
The Goblins are really saving the dwarves from themselves.

Dear Armok...
What have i done...

You have become DWARF.

But at what cost....
All I ever wanted was to create a nice home for my dwarves, a sanctuary from the terrors below, and the horrors abroad. I was even in the process of creating a huge deathmaze to ensure their safety. But now, I don't know if I can continue its construction...
In my attempts to protect them, I realize I have been doing nothing but keeping them imprisoned. And for what? The mountainhomes? The King? Armok!?
Armok be damned! No longer will I participate in this madness for his amusement! I shall be his slave no more!
No, no...the maze has already been started, I can't back out of it now....but no longer will it be an endeavor of glory, and pride. But one of mourning, and sorrow. And from this day forth, all worthy opponents shall be honored with a slab.
Heh, and as for the King...the one who sends these dwarves to their deaths for his own gain, I hope he comes. I hope he is able to witness the monstrosity created in his name! He shall be put on full-time corpse hauling duty, and he alone shall carry the rotting dead from the ground on which they lie.
As for me, my punishment shall come from knowing that every goblin slayed, is fighting for a better cause than I, as a leader of dwarves, could ever hope for.
Unto my dwarves, prosperity.
Unto my god, destruction.
And unto myself, retribution.

I don't know why but this thread made me imagine a goblin version of boss knight saying : "BOSS! I'M ALL ABOUT SAVING -DWARVEN BABIES-! SO TAKING THESE!"

you know, DF is hideously similar to real life http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32171926/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/investigators-stunned-child-dismemberment/#.TovQ-_69Dyo (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32171926/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/investigators-stunned-child-dismemberment/#.TovQ-_69Dyo)

The upside being revolutions (of sort) are an everyday thing in dwarven fortresses.

I believe it is currently bugged so any visiters to your fort are deleted when they leave which is why you get a new liaison every time.
You can meet snatched children created in world gen, but not fort mode.
I read a post about a clown king leading a goblin siege, fleeing, and never being able to return due to this bug.

I've been playing too much SS13. I pictured a U charging into battle with his shoes honking, and his throat releasing a battlehonk. Did I mention he is a legendary banananana lasher?
-
I once pulled an admins clown mask off....
Bad idea
What if the clown did not have a throat? did you think about that?
-
Can't say 'bout all this. All I can say is, that I sense a heightened level of elven subversion in this thread. I'm not tellin' names, it's all too obvious already.
Your admittedly bad attempts at propanganda are clearly to fail because everybody can see that dwarven settlers - peaceful settlers I might add - who are under constant pressure and threat (we're even unable to cut some decent wooden clogs without upsetting some tree dwellers) will have been put a minor strain on their senses. As it would with anybody else.
Who are you to make these allegations? It's not that elves would stumble across the gates of hell while shining out their habitat, yes?

King Dza, calm down (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=94503.0):P
Goblins hang dead bodies on spikes everywhere! They worship demons instead of hurtling bolts at them! Imagine the unhappy thoughts those children get when they smell miasma everywhere in a dark, dark fortress.
Not like a good dwarf fortress, where every child is allowed a goblin kill a year.
Also, that does sound pretty cool. If only the goblins shared the same respect.
Have you tried throwing the dead bodies off a tower instead of a mountain? :D
Better yet, why not live ones? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
-
Oh jebus... this thread made my fortress much creepier. lol

Literally, I'm going to find the nearest living thing, give it your name and skin it's face off.
TA DAH! Only in Dwarf fortress.

Heh, that was written a while back. I just sigged it because people seemed to like it. Now, I'm on an everlasting quest to discover the truth behind the mysterious nature of the goblins(among other creatures). But you should already know that. :)
Although, for the record, I still consider myself an enemy of Armok, and I also still plan to make my king haul every last rotting corpse from the DeathMaze by himself, should he decide to show up.

Yeaah ;p
NOW GET BACK TO DAH DORF PHILOSOPEHZ :D
I just realised this thread is about babies being stolen and all, and I've been using them as live bait in my fortress to catch snatchers xd
-
'I'm free from this horrible fort!'
'wanna beat this guy up?'
'YES!'
*punches*
'that was your mother, you know.'
'I don't give a shit!'
the way that gobbos brainwash children- do it while they are euphoric.
Jokes on them, that dwarf kid is now armed, and is going through a fey mood.
Good luck finding Giant Cat Spider Silk studded with rainbows and BRIX.

Space Station 13.
What we're supposed to do: Do our jobs, and catch the traitor/alien/terrorist that snuck aboard.
What we actually do: Beat the clown, and generally fuck shit up. See: Burn down the bomb making facility, make drugs, then break into places we're not supposed to.

Ah, so true. It would be great if anyone did their jobs, but instead they do stupid stuff like play Russian roulette and cover the station in blood.

Fixed that for you.
And yes, I do wish people would do their god damn jobs. I'm sick of shitscurity, clowns, and mad bombers.
