Undead and Burial
« on: January 11, 2017, 12:51:03 pm »

I could not find this info on the wiki so I guess I'll have to ask. In an animating environment, will undead stay put if you manage to get them into a coffin? Will they stay dead if a necromancer wanders into your mausoleum? I've never seen anyone trying to bury undead before they rise up so I've assumed that burial doesn't keep them down but I can't find anything that confirms or deny's this.

Good questions! I presume you would have to bury them before they reanimate? Maybe the dwarven Gods bring the souls of buried to Valhalla.

No, they'll escape the coffin.

Use magma. It's the only way to be sure.

Add carp for good measure.
Or elephants.
