Impossible Quests
« on: October 16, 2013, 10:40:42 pm »

I start a new adventure. I am given a quest to go really far away. I look for a companion in town to ward off boogiemen. There is one, but he laughs at me. I stab him. He murders me.

I start a new adventure. I am given a quest to kill THE OTHER ADVENTURER. WHO HAS BEEN DEAD FOR A YEAR!!!

Speak to the quest-giver and report your previous adventurer's death. Quest complete!

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

It happens sometimes. The game occasionally wigs out on stuff like this, but as Drazinononda said you should be able to report the quest as complete right now.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

Yeah, that's when you report the "success" to someone who doesn't care too much about the life and death of the quest target. A bit strange that they'd give you the quest when they wouldn't give fame for finishing it. Anyway, you'll still gain reputation with every entity (civilisation, religious order, bandit group, village...) that was hostile towards the quest target.

After hearing the fail of a quest to kill someone that's already dead, your adventurer may have just enough sanity to slice out the quest givers guts.
