I quarantined the wrong dwarf after a weredeer attack, and as a result had a few more get bitten during the next full moon. I walled up the four bitten survivors in two groups of two. At the next full moon, only one of the four transformed, but it did not attack the dwarf it was locked in with.

So, are the three who didn't turn definitely okay, or could they start changing at the next full moon? Is the one who didn't transform but was not attacked by the one who did a weredeer who is just lying dormant or something?

According to the wiki, a werebeast bite victim "has a high chance to change when the next full moon comes" and "[w]erebeasts of the same species will...not normally fight." I guess I'm confused whether "high chance" means a high chance of being converted to a werebeast, or just of transforming at the first opportunity. And whether the same species cooperation would apply in that case, so that a werebeast who transforms can recognize one who doesn't (provided it's possible to be a werebeast and not transform if it's a fresh bite).

Any ideas? I could just leave everyone locked away another month to be sure, but would rather not have to lose any more souls than necessary, I'm already having trouble finding enough places to stash coffins. Thanks!

I was thinking it might be possible to make some percentage of dwarves gay or bisexual.

I don't think there's anything in the game allowing for adoption, and AFAIK reproduction of sentient creatures is only via marriage, but would it at least be possible to add some castes so you'd see the occaisional same-sex couple, who might not reproduce but would get married or be listed as lovers?
