Is it possible for clowns to become necromancers? I'm assuming it is due to the learning tag they have.

EDIT: I have know idea what happened. The clown comes with undead siege and is now being attacked by the undead. His profession is prisoner also. It is not a necromancer it seems.

I've read in an engraving somewhere that my queen is a vampire.
Also I've had a vampire chained for murder. He has gone stark raving mad. I guess he'll sit around in that cell for all of eternity. Or get killed by goblins or a Forgotten Beast or something.

I vote that you keep him chained, locked up and sealed behind a temple of traps. Have your dwarves engrave a warning of what will happen, should he ever be freed.

Sure. Well the first undead siege was "lead" clown. The undead attack the clown who was labeled as prisoner as his profession. Not long after the dwarf caravan comes and arrives at the depot, he springs from hiding and the announcement used when a necromancer is spotted happens. He is inside the base. I recruit 40 random dwarfs to drive it outside and recall them back. The clown has been beat by a legendary sworddwarf and hammerlord with a crossbow for 2 months straight. Currently no undead from the clown yet.

EDIT: he just left due to injuries.

Sounds a little anticlimatic, how many casualties on your side?

10ish only 2nd yr. though. I don't write stories that well. The clown can't raise the dead it seems despite the announcement that came with him when he appeared.

How unfortunate, I'd love to face a necromancer clown in open combat.

He can't raise the dead however. He kills his own minions. I belive he is the ruler of the local town also.

I think I'm going to throw him in the zombie pit, instead. Those macedwarves were tough as nails, and the marks dwarf was the one who killed the Titan a few years before; they deserved better than being murdered in their beds. Now his zombified victims will have a chance for revenge.

I love any Fortress that has a zombie pit! But, I must give a caution here, in that the zombies in the zombie pit will not attack the accused Dwarf if it really is a vampire.
Unless of course, you just want a vampire in your zombie pit to increase the deadliness factor by that much, or if you want the vampire's only companions to be its murdered victims for the rest of its days.

An engraving catches my eye:

Blahblahblah pillage blahblah Battle of Murdering blahblah hill of dissappearances.

Enter Legends.

In the early spring of 299, The Common Mirrors attacked The Empire of Gales.  The attackers were led by the dwarf Minkot EnjoyMirrored and the defenders by the merlock Osmost Tiredales.

A: 1121 merlocks, 2853 dwarves, 3 goblins, 5 jabberers, 5 elk birds, 107 losses
D: 1 merlock, no losses.

He won't attack them even after he goes insane from solitary confinement, the way regular dwarves attack each when they go nuts? I knew they wouldn't fight straight away, what with being undead, but I hoped insanity would do it.

If he hadn't killed my most heroic soldiers I'd just wall him up and make him a bookkeeper / lever puller / reserve soldier. I think I have more than one vampire, though. I know this one is responsible for those dwarves because he was coincidentally the only witness to all their deaths.

Used Fastdwarf to speed up the construction of Paintmagic, since I was lagging behind. Now that the fort is up and running properly, I'm turning my attention to the overall layout.

Paintmagic is constructed around a central room. Top floor has the dormitories suspended between four pillars(yes, dwarves can fall off the ledges). Below the dorms are the workshops and the founder quarter. Nothing is suspended in the space there, however. Below that level are the stockpiles. There's a shortcut from the forges on the workshop level to the metal goods stockpiles, for ease of access. And finally, there's the entrance hall at the lowest floor.

The entrance hall branches off into the deeper mines, and to the living quarters with the dining hall(which, too, features an open roof so those on the entrance hall floor can look into the dining hall).

No need. His sentence has expired long ago, he still just sits in his cell, doing nothing at all. Also there is no space for traps or anything. The jail area is pretty dense.

I am currently still involved with building the platform for casting the foundation for my first obsidian tower in the river. It's taking ages. 11 FPS aren't helping.

If he goes berserk I reckon he might. Unless he's jaded, a good way to push them to misery is to assign them lots of war dogs and quickly butcher them all.
