Mørul the Insane Vampire
« on: June 27, 2012, 01:59:21 pm »
About four years ago a vampire came to my fortress. After a few cases of anemic dwarves showing up to work and one dead child I found the culprit, lured him into a small room on the tomb level and trapped him there.And after I while I kinda forgot about him, until just now when I checked in on him and realized that three years of misereable imprisonment has driven him stark raving mad.
Now he paces around in his tiny prison, alone, naked and gibbering. That I have so thoroughly broken this bloodsucker makes me all kinds of happy, but I'm wondering, will an insane vampire still feed on other dwarves? Cos if he's no longer a threat to anyone I want to release him back into the fort to serve as a warning to other night cratures that might want to infiltrate my home.

He'll kill himself if you release him. But no, they dont.

Well since he's not melancholic but stark raving mad I don't think he will actively try to kill himself, he will probably get himself killed in due time though.

Vampires can't starve, can they?

If not, drop goblin prisoners in there, train him up?

Stark Raving Mad dorfs do not fight, I believe.

They probably dodge and counterstrike, though. Get Morul started on badgers and stuff, then kobolds, then insane traders, etc. Work your way up. (Make sure the room is small enough, through.)

Insane dorfs will probably still defend themselves I guess. And he is still a vampire so he's in good physical condition, a training program does seem like more fun than my original plan. Think I'll try that.

I lock all my vampires in a 24/7 danger room. I've even contemplated turning unwanted migrants into vampires just for quick and easy combat training without worrying about thirst or hunger, or main fortress tantrum spirals, considering they won't have met other dwarves first.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

There's something about having an army of angry super soldier vampires locked deep down in a fortress waiting to be unleashed that makes me want to try that for myself.
