Can I do anything with hostile underground races?
« on: October 12, 2016, 10:20:13 pm »
So I've got this one batman in the third cavern, he had at least four companions but they've all been dead (presumably including his parents) probably since the first spring or summer. Looking at their weapons, the lone batman is the only one who has any kills, and apparently has been surviving on his own for a long time since the others have rotted to skeletons. I want to know if I can do anything with him besides killing or caging him. He seems capable considering he killed a named reacher and a jabberer (given enough time, he could probably defeat any foe).

(And on a semi-related note, how do I insert pictures? This button doesn't seem to work.)

Generally, "hostile" animal men aren't actually hostile.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

try seeing if there's a nightwing elsewhere in the cavern, and zone your jail somewhere nearby

edit: also see if he has high social skills, he could be a disguised merchant or noble (think vampires)

Capture him with cave trap, use danger room to make him an invincible badass, release back into caverns.

Perhaps could still use minecarts to train dodging, though without the native dodge bonus I dunno how well it'd work.

Cage-capture him, rig the cage to a lever outside, and next siege, open the cage and see if he feels like fighting the goblins?
