Dead &s [38b game, 38a world]
« on: February 28, 2008, 03:34:00 pm »

Normally this would be a 'oh durr you killed demons' thing, except that I haven't taken any aggressive action against the demons yet, other than the two miners-turned-recruits who got entombed in the shaft when they dug DIRECTLY INTO THE GLOWING PIT. Good job, guys.

They didn't even manage to bruise the two !!&!!s they encountered, and I've left it sealed since. Could they have choked on the smoke to death?

More likely, the demons actually died in the heat of the burning corpses. Happens to dragons, can happen to anyone.

The demon I can understand for that, but a demon of FIRE?

Could a few have snuck out and fought with something else?

I had demons fighting goblins and a bronze colossus in one of my fortresses.

I highly doubt a demon could have lost to anything I've fought so far, and if it did get to the surface it'd have to go through half my fort.

Have you tried checking the list of corpses from the Stocks screen, in case the dead bodies are still around and you can [z]oom to them?

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

Udil: Say, Bomrek, what's that GIANT PILLAR OF FIRE coming towards us?
Bomrek: I dunno. I don't see it. Oh wait, I think I do now. Eh, it's probably nothing.
Udil: It has arms! And a face!
Bomrek: You really need to stop worrying.

That being said, I should probably think of something witty to put here.
