Vampires, does I have one?
« on: September 05, 2012, 03:55:41 pm »
Ok, so here's the situation.  I appear to have magically acquired a miner.  Dwarf Fortress Therapist lists two, but I have a random third.  So, not being the most experienced I locked her in a pit where she then got hungry and thirsty, upon leaving the pit, she ate and drank as normal.  I'm pretty sure vamps don't do that.  If this might still be a vamp, how effective would death by stoning with gold nuggets be?  I already accidentally killed a farmer that way.  If not a vampire, what might be causing my dwarf therapist to only be showing two of the miners.  Also she is the wife of the farmer I accidently killed with golden nuggets earlier, somewhat ironically from what I can gather.  She also was kicked out of two groups/civs before mine soooooo, maybe a very young vampire?

While I have your attention my first layer is igneous intrusive (usually right before magma), so I have a 0% chance of getting any other kinds of layers, right?

Edit:  Fixed and added some information.

Could it possibly be a were dwarf then.... should I just commence the gold nugget stoning to be sure of fortress survival?

NO YOU MUST STORE ONLY MAGMA! PREFERABLY RIGHT NEXT TO SOMETHING WOODEN AND HORRIBLY IMPORTANT TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE FORT!

If she has a skill higher than mining, then therapist lists her under that.

No she is listed as a miner in Fortress.  She just isn't showing up in Therapist at all.  That's why I'm all worried about her bringing down my whole fortress single-handedly.

It could just be a therapist bug. I've had dwarves before that haven't shown up in therapist either yet they were just perfectly normal dwarves.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

So the nugget stoning isn't necessary?  Damn I like imagining communal stoning of dwarves.

Vampires are extremely obvious in Dwarf Therapist, also in the v-z description screen.
