My military dwarves just killed a berserking tantrumer.
« on: July 07, 2012, 02:12:54 pm »
It's the first time my dwarves have had to kill off a tantrumer, EVER.  I try hard to keep my dwarves happy.

I ended up having a stone stockpile aboveground.  Most of them are belowground, but in this case, I needed somewhere to put extra stone for a bit.

Something stole a masterwork wheelbarrow.   ::)

Not sure, though I get keas so regularly in this biome it was probably one of them.

If he was berserk, he was clear past throwing a tantrum, and he was dead anyway.  Becoming the enemy of everything tends to be bad for one's health.  Even if he hadn't run into more fight than he could handle, as one of the flavors of insanity Berserk comes complete with no attention to basic survival needs, and can't be recovered from.  It will eventually lead to death from dehydration or similar.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

They stole their carrying capacity from the dwarves.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

How does a kea manage to carry off a wheelbarrow, anyway?   :o

It could grip it by the... handle?

It's more a question of weight ratios, anyway.

Maybe it was...

Kia'rra the large winged Kea
Kia'rra Largewinged was a forgotten beast. It was the only of it's kind. A huge bird with large wings with squinting eyes. It broods and plots. It's lemon colored feathers are bold and intimidating. Beware it's deadly beak! Kia'rra was associated with thievery and enjoys legendary wheelbarrows. Responsible for the death of MenacesWithSpikes's greatest Carpenter. Kia'rra has begun wandering the depths of the world.


... Damn titans.
