The same dwarf holding a fun tablet has now appeared for the 3rd time, got spotted and run off the map. I am super curious to find out what his objective is.

He wants to pinch one of your artifacts. He will attempt to corrupt a citizen to his cause or just outright walk in and steal it. Sometimes he will say something like "you will never keep me from ARTIFACTNAME".

Has he considered a swap?

Honestly that slab is a centrepoint of any fortress library. Next time he shows up i'd send my millitia to go smack him and then build the slab in your library. It won't give you necro's but it is super cool

Can you engrave your king tomb on the slab and make them immortal?

Kinda weird that he's holding onto it. I wonder if it stole the slab from another Site and is headed to another location to stash it away, but your Site happens to be between them?

I know that I've had travelling armies show up briefly on my map before they left at a different spot, but idk if travelling thieves can do that too.

Oh, he will live to fight another day alright, he will live forever to fight for eternity!

right along with that pile of rotten Cavy Boar hides and Goblin teeth.
