Those crazy traders...
« on: November 23, 2008, 03:47:29 pm »
So, I got distracted by setting up a logic system, and didn't realize I ran outta food. Just as I noticed that a quarter of my fort's flashing brown arrows, a human caravan shows up, along with a goblin ambush, and a snatcher. The caravan guards take out the ambush (only 4 gobbos) and get to the depot. I'm trading for all the food they have, and they want to sweeten the deal with a forbidden arrow. I guess it was stuck in one of the guards...

Somehow, that fills me more with dread than anticipation.  It's like being told that someone's exhuming your favorite grandparent and they're going to try to make her into a cyborg stripper.

Did he bleed to death when you traded it?

The traders wanted the deal sweetened in  their favor.

BTW, Ive had a Grullock and Elf caravan arrive within the same year, fight through 4 goblin skirmirshes, only to arrive at my gate with a bundle of logs and a... cow... in a cage.

I say "a... cow...", because that bloody thing ran out and tried to kill a dragon. Bonus: already prepared!
