he obviously was unconsious, but what caused him to? my toll booth is set up like this:

Code: [Select]
+++++
+++++
^^^^^
SSSSS
+++++
+++++

+ = road
^ = cage trap
S = spears

the spears wen't in operation, so there is no way the spears could have stabbed him.
Are you absolutely sure about that? It looks to me like the most likely cause (kobold moves from safe floor to spear, gets stabbed, moves from spear to cage, falls unconscious, gets trapped). Pretty much anything else short of a cave-in that could hurt or knock out the kobold would render the kobold detected, at which point he'd flee, in an uninjured state unless he gets into a fight.

There are three things I know about dwarves:
1. They've got beards. Even the women.
2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.

don't spears have to be moving to injure creatures? it's not like somebody is going to suddenly run into a bunch of spikes and poke out their heart, even though they can very well see them.
