So im off merrily adventeuring, giant scorpion attacks me, so first thing i do is get my axe embedded in his leg and start twisting. He attacks me and i lose hold of my axe, a few turns later he bleeds to death.

Now how do i get my axe back? I cant just [g]et it. and i cant even see it using [l]ook. Halp plz

1) Look back through the announcements and make sure he didn't pull it out and drop it in a different square than you are looking.

2) If there are several items in the square, make sure you are using the '*' key to scroll through the list.

3) Burn his corpse.

[Hishan]

Already did one and two, and an extensive search of the area to boot. Is burning really the only way? It seems stupid that my guy cant just pick it up

[Dwarfu]

Maybe some more old fellers on here might of had that experience, but I've never not been able to pick a weapon back up.

You sure you didn't accidentally pick it up and its in your backpack as we speak?

This just happened to me too, also with a giant desert scorpion, but with a two-handed sword. I looked around everywhere the scorpion had moved(if he had dropped it), everywhere around, on the square the scorpion died, checked my inventory five times. Nothing. Might be a bug...?

[Cthulhu]

This happened to me, but it was a Troglodyte I think.  I'm pretty sure it's just a rare bug.

[Deon]

It happened to me too with different monsters, sometimes weapons disappear when they're in some monster and it dies.

Maybe its stuck in you? Also had a weapon stuck in a wolfs head, who then bit my drunk follower and latched on, before I decapitated him with my spare. Head was still latched, though, so had to wait for the drunk to break its grip, then got the weapon. Of course, it is an alpha, so it could have completely vanished as well.
