Don't let it leave. It'll never return if it leaves.

And all the liasons have to stay.

If liasons are prevented from leaving, they eventually go insane.  Enjoy your berserk building destroying god.

All of you are forgetting something very important. A normal non-short demon is 167 times the size of a dwarf.

This is no normal killer rabbit of Caerbannog, it is a super-sized killer rabbit of Morgoth!

I name thee Fluffywhisker Bauglir, cuddly enemy of the world!

I'm worried that this thread will degrade into Monty Python jokes.

I do believe that clowns have a tag which makes them immune to insanity.

Could anyone butcher the world.sav file and confirm? If it is true, then the fortress has an immortal guardian.

After all the gobos/trolololls mauling He did outside, I couldn't help but let Him taste our booze and delicate Īprepared badger intestinesĪ, so I lowered a bridge, pulled a couple levers and He is in.



"Please make Your mighty self at home", I say. "Oh, should I slaughter and burn and trample everything ? 'Cause that's pretty much what We do at home, We diplomats demons.", He replies.
-"Hm. Look, how about a nice little chat in my office ? Urist will bring us fancy food and strong ale. But first You shall follow me like a good dog everywhere I go while I delay with no damn reason our meeting."
-"Sounds fair. Let's proceed."

And here we are, purposeless, running in the fort like headless chickens. What a fun, well spent day !

Eventually, we meet. The mighty Beast compliments me on my well carved mountain home. I compliment Him on His fine traction bench human bone amulet. We discuss about everything and nothing, drinking beers by the dozen.
Now our meeting is over. We did not even talk about a commercial partnership. It looks like Etdil, that's His name, is here only to cut up gobos like toilet paper rolls and to wolf my precious Īlobster brain roastsĪ down.
Now He is trying to leave but I won't let this happen. I really hope He won't go berzerk.

I doodled a quick rendition of this for the hell of it.

Warning, even though its poorly drawn, its hard to make a skinless hare that isn't slightly disturbing:

I thought liasons and diplomats were now conserved? As in not destroyed when they leave the map.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

Yup this happens now, i haven't gotten a liaison like that yet (because i keep trying to embark on terrifying biomes and failing) but reading my history there's several societies that have demons in leadership positions. I have one thats a lord that writes artifact books

I had a god/demon visitor from a human civ in a vanilla .03 game. He left and came back several times. Then one visit he decided to wander into the open volcano.  He got lost and went berserk after a while but didn't leave the magma for about 3 years.  One day, after the humans made peace after their failed war of reprisal they sent a caravan. The god/demon found his way out and attacked them. After much slaughter he was weakened and semi immobilized, so I sent a squad of marksdwarves to put his self-proclaimed deity status to the test.  It cost me a legendary marksdwarf, but we proved that even god-kings bleed.
