What to do with my caged Kobold
« on: April 25, 2009, 01:34:35 pm »

I have this kobold in a cage, and I'm wondering what I should do with it. I (sadly) don't have a GCS, but I do have magma and an underground river. Any Ideas?

In case you're wondering, my wrestlers knocked it unconscious on a cage trap.

That was, of course, my first idea. I was wondering if there were more creative ideas than simply burning it. However, burning would be a more interesting engraving, hmmm.

Create a small room say 4x3. Make a make a wall so that 3 tiles are blocked off from the rest of the room. Make a door in the wall. Have tunnels leading to both 'sections' Release the kobold and steal back your cage/mechanism when he isn't looking, keep the kobold as a prisoner.


conversly, you could use his corpes as a pincusion for your marx dwarves.

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

I tryed running a dragon powered removal pit. I modded in dragons that you can buy as pets, cained 4 of them around a 3x3 room, put a cage with a gob. inside and pulled the leaver.

...

No fire was spit.

I also tryed a cat remover (imp behind forifications, cats inside).... imp would not fireball them.

Special price to the groundhog that gave birth 3 times (had 3 babys) in the cage and won a round by surprise.

So yeah run a arena

* Build a zoo out of it as an eternal warning to thieves and tribute to your trapmakers.
* Build the cage in your mayor's tomb. Connect it to a lever. After your mayor dies, seal the tomb with floodgates and release the kobold. Leave him imprisoned until some adventurer stumbles upon him.

note they run thru the doors so you need to make a room with no doors if they arent activated by levers

!!MAGMA!!

Also, get a weapon trap with ten copper discs at the bottom of a channel, then, say "A kobold, will it blend?" then throw the kobold in. Then after it is eviscerated, say "Kobold smoke, don't breathe this!", then pour its remains into another hole, and make a funny quote which contains the word "Blendtech", happy to help! :)

stack of 10 prepared dragonfly brains - I'm trying to imagine what's more funny: a dwarf popping a tiny dragonfly brain into his mouth for a snack, the butcher who actually prepared this feast, or the brave hunter who ventured out into the wilderness and returned with this bounty.

I don't think this'll work, since kobolds have trapavoid.

Try to train him to an ultra legendary kobold. Somehow.

I built a drowning chamber in my current fort (about 4x20 tiles) and inside i put the cages of captured enemies and link them to a lever. So that when the caravan comes and gets trapped in the chamber, I can release what's in the cages (giant bats, goblins, horses, kobolds) and the caravan has to fight for it's life. Whatever survives gets drowned afterwards.

Aren't these the same thing?  ???

Although the tomb idea is pretty good...I like the thought of a half crazed kobold being released from a tomb after 500 years.

Send in all useless dwarves(Soap makers, cheese makers, etc etc), and train him up

* Build the cage in your mayor's tomb. Connect it to a lever. After your mayor dies, seal the tomb with floodgates and release the kobold. Leave him imprisoned until some adventurer stumbles upon him.

I second this idea, construct a clear glass box and place said kobold in there with a slight opening at the top, (remove his weapons first) and ocasionally drop in some food and beverages for this fell beast. Make sure it's comfortable in the clear glass box, also don't use windows to keep it inside.

*Bonus points if it's made as warning to more kobolds
*Super bonus if you can catch a breeding pair
