LOST: 1 caged child

(1/1)

Been:
So I'm 4 years into my current fortress and am progressing rather slowly having reached the Magma and only just gotten my Broker.  While I was checking things here and there and waiting for a human caravan to finish getting to the Trade Depot I noticed the message"Etur Loloktatlosh, Child cancels Drink: Caged."This is particularly strange as I don't have any cage traps set up, or have in fact built any at all.  According to the unit list I still have the 6 children my fortress should have, but only 5 of them are listed in the unit list, with the 6th nowhere to be seen, not even in the dead or misc lists below the living Dwarves.  I haven't encountered goblin snatches before, so I'm not sure what sort of things to expect from them, but I'm at a lost as to what happened to him and where he is now.Edit:  Speak of the devil, my Dwarves just ran into a goblin child snatcher and promptly pummeled him to death (although he took out one of my craftsdwarves) and low and behold, out popped the child.  Problem solved I guess.[ September 04, 2007: Message edited by: Been ]

Ravendas:
Yeah, all goblin snatchers walk around with a bag (sometimes encrusted and sewn and whatnot) that they store children it. So the CAGED notice means there is a goblin snatcher somewhere in your fortress that you haven't seen yet. When I get that message, I immediately station some guards at the entrance to my fortress, in hopes of seeing him when he tries to leave.
