Summary0008785: Caged dragon disappears from cage when adventurer sleeps or tries to fast travel
DescriptionTrapped and caged dragon disappears from cage once an adventurer sleeps after carrying it off of the site from where it was captured. Matter of fact disappears even if you try to fast travel.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create fortress on top of dragon lair.

2) capture dragon

3) Retire fortress

4) Create adventurer, arrive at fortress with said captured dragon

5) pick up cage and attempt to fast travel away from site.

OR

6) Carry cage off of dwarf site,

7) Sleep. Wake up to missing dragon
Additional InformationFast travel ensures missing dragon.

Sleep at the site doesn't seem to trigger the creature disappearing, I slept at the fortress where I had trapped the dragon for several nights, and the beast remained in its cage in the stockpiles.

Moving the dragon away from the stockpiles, to a different location of the fortress, didn't cause it to disappear - but this was inconsistent/not fully tested. There was one occasion where it disappeared from its cage even though I believe I was still on site.

There is an additional related bug, to be uploaded (soon) - if you transport the caged animal somehow to a different retired fort, the game crashes when -

1) Your adventurer tries to sleep at the retired fort

2) You retire the adventurer elsewhere, and then try to unretire the fort

3) You retire the adventurer elsewhere, un retire him/her and then try and approach the site - game crashes when you are near or arrive at the site
