There is no reason to make it lavish. Vampires need no sleep, food, or drink, and can thus be safely locked away in their room for all of eternity. Why keep him alive? So he can do something useful. A mildly sensible option is making them the fortress's [[bookkeeper]] (but really, any average dwarf can do that job on the side) setting accuracy to maximum (who doesn't?). At least make him manager too. |
− | + | Locked-in vampires can also serve as a Plan B in case the rest of the fortress is slaughtered, as they will be safe behind walls (ah, here we are getting the first and last glimpse at ''how'' this is supposed to be done); since vampires are effectively super-soldiers, you can provide them with arms and armor beforehand and then let them out (deconstruct the wall, mine out the rock, or raise the bridge (oh wait everyone is dead. I guess I didn't think this through...)), or just let them wait in their prison until [[immigration|migrants]] arrive. You ''will'' have to provide new [[clothes]] eventually, this can be done with a [[drop-chute]] from above. | |
