0001769: Dwarfs bleeding to death during rain.
Dwarfs have a slight(ly big) chances of bleeding to death after being exposed to rain.
Death occurs (probably) instantly, however not at the very moment of being exposed to the rain. Some dwarfs have even survived this wet nightmer for a longer period of time suffering no damage.
It may be caused by colliding with a drop.(blue tile)

Send military squad outside.

Haven't tryed starting a new fortress.
    First happened soon after embark. My woodcutter and a donkey both bled to death during rain. Only they were above ground at a time of deadly weather malfunction.
    Second time happened around first immigration wave. Lost two newbies this time.
    After that I tryed to keep my dwarfes underground. Quickly builded seald-off round-shaped multi-floored bunker with trade depot. Time passed, nobody seemed to get hurt while working on-top-of-a-roof.
An ambush occured, few individuals runned outside during rain and nothing happened.
    Then after some time, another two dwarfes bled to death during rain.
One was on-top-of-a-roof and the other on the ground-floor 'inside' the bunker, but most probably he was going down from the roof.

     I have not expirienced this in previous fortresses, and in adventure on another world.
     Edited this world 'raw' lowering dwarfen [children] age from 12 to 8.

Ps: For a moment thought it was a new feature called "acid rain".
But hey, the tiles schould be at least green to tell the diffrence.
No tags attached.

It's causing them to melt, as per 0000416.
Is also fixed for the next version.
