So nothing really happens when they die, they just disappear and are bones in the middle?

Good to know 'cos I was on death watch for two of the elders, wanting to see if anything really happened to them when they died, and spent literally hours the past two days watching intently to see! Argh.

On another note, when my eldest elder died, suddenly the next eldest (who has been sick three or four times already) turned up with child and I don't know why. I don't have any male breeders and I didn't drop her on anyone or anyone on her that I recall, tho I guess I must have without realizing it. Argh, again...
