But we're not dead yet (we feel happy, we feel happy)
« on: November 14, 2010, 12:35:04 pm »

Alright, I'm wondering if I saw what I think I saw.  If I did see what I think I saw, then I saw something that could lead adventurer deaths to involve fascinating and unlikely circumstances.

I had a group of friends with me as I dealt with an outlaw band for a quest (in the latest version).  My friends engaged battle before I did.  I finally got near the outlaw leader, who was fighting and winning against a swordsman of mine (or somesuch).  The full-screen dialogue showed up and the leader taunted me about having killed somebody.

I thought "Huh, don't I know that name?"

The dialogue went away, and then I received the combat report that the leader had killed my swordsman, who had that name.

At least, this is what I think happened.  Am I imagining things?  Does the order of notices in a turn make this possible?  Because, if so, an enemy leader with a bow could shoot you in the head on the same turn that you get within taunting distance, and then you would be taunted about your own death before you died.  That is, you could be killed by a psychic.

Seriously, am I imagining this?

Interesting. I wonder if that is indeed what happened. It doesn't seem unreasonable...

Maybe he got a 'Mortal Wound' (Bruised heart, lungs, etc), I believe those two go hand in hand, since you'll sometimes see engravings of x mortally wounding y in dwarf mode.

Only in dwarven culture is alcohol poisoning a death worthed investigating, while being impaled through several toes, a eye, and a thumb from a spiraling water[3] is not.  Because everyone knows, the only way a dwarf could get alcohol poisoning is if someone put poison into the alcohol.
