I just need to know: Is it possible for a dwarf, once dead and entombed, to come back to life under any circumstances?

I hacked off a ranger's arms and legs. An Animal Dissector ran up, broke my axe-wrist, then grabbed my other arm and held me there while the ranger crawled up and bit off both my legs.

Maybe you should turn it into a hermit challenge? let the others starve and have him.. nawh, you'd get bored, i know i would.
Mod in the possibilty to use bone as construction material and make him a nice Rhesus Macaque house, containing a cellar full of skull totems.
Oh, and train his butchering skills
Well, there's no macaque meat anywhere, not in any stockpiles or buildings (come to think of it, i didn't check his inventory) so... i know he didn't eat it, but I'm wondering where it went. I know it didn't rot in the course of roughly eight real-time minutes.
I should add: in an area roughly between the drink stockpile and the ammo stockpile I found a couple of dwarves and animals who were unharmed, but covered in blood spatters. I really wish I had been around for this battle.
Good idea on that last thing though, maybe it'll motivate him to do something with those mutilated horses.

« on: October 30, 2008, 06:47:56 pm »Worship him! Any socialy withdrawn dwarf gets in my good grace and pelting the critters to death with a crossbow just to see them die a slow and excrucicating death is a good way to get into the shrivered black piece that suffice for a heart that exists in all us malevolent DF players - And if you think im wrong, you've simply not been exposed enough.
Anyway, if you dont intend to elevate him to the glory he deserves you could check if something is wrong with your refuse pile, butcher or your gather refuse orders. Though i doubt any of them actually are faulty due to him slowly getting more and more sadistical i suggest you make him the captain of the guard and give him a artifact crossbow for his good work... or maybe a warhammer would be better as he seems to like getting up close and bloody.
I never said I disapprove of his actions, I love the little guy with all of what passes for my heart, but people are getting hungry, except my hunter, because he's getting his food from some other source I don't want to know about.
I should add: During a particularly uneventful stretch of time in my fortress I left my computer to eat a sandwich. When I returned, I found the following announcements:
Rhesus Macaque has stolen a crossbow bolt!
Rhesus Macaque has stolen a crossbow bolt!
Dwarf "'Ted Nugent' Razorsplash" cancels job Drink: Interrupted by Rhesus Macaque.
I look several squares to the left of my fortress, and find a trail of blood twenty characters long, leading to the bones and skull of a rhesus macaque. The flesh is gone.

It's my first fortress, and everything is going fine, except for my ranger.
He started hunting immediately, and was good at it. But as time progressed he became less and less social, and now has only two friends. He stopped returning kills, no matter how I ordered him to, and he only returns to the fortress to eat and sleep. He also doesn't reload his crossbow, no matter what I tell him (and we have plenty of bolts), and uses it exclusively as a melee weapon. His personality profile read "He is starting to get used to tragedy." (Even though it is Summer of the first year.)
As time went by, he got even worse. Now he doesn't even kill his prey, he beats the tar out of them and leaves them to die slowly, covered in their own blood and vomit. His personality profile had the highest possible rating in self-consciousness, and the phrase "He is starting to get used to tragedy" has been replaced by "He doesn't care about anything anymore."
How do I remedy this situation?
