Ive been trying to send squads out on a mission for a while now to recover artifacts.  Everytime I try though, they come back empty handed with a report thats blank (outside of the one line about departing).  Is this a bug?  Am I doing something wrong?

[Leonidas]

I haven't tried it myself, but others have said that there are problems recovering artifacts that are held by individuals, as opposed to artifacts held by the site.

[SammyLiimex]

That makes sense, I know at least some of the artifacts were held by a family.  I dont remember if the others were, Ill try it again tonight or tomorrow

[PatrikLundell]

I believe it's been confirmed by Toady that artifacts carried cannot be retrieved. To retrieve those DF would need to implement mugging missions.

[Bumber]

I wonder if you can get it if you kill the holder in a raid.

[SammyLiimex]

Do missions free all rooms assigned to those dwarves?  All the tombs for my dwarves are free now

[§k]

Yes. When they come back from mission, they are like new migrants.

Yes. When they come back from mission, they are like new migrants.

Yes, and they trickle back in rather than marching like a proper army. I haven't had raiders return into a siege yet, but it's only a matter of time. I worry that, on migrant behavior, even my legendary soldiers will run and scatter rather than fighting.

[SammyLiimex]

A raid worked, but I sent them out on a second raid, to a place 2 days march, and theyve been gone for a very long time, like a season.  Is that normal?

[Insert_Gnome_Here]

They're on a pub crawl, asking around about where the artifact is. 
 
Side note: now that there's named rooms, can Toady implement random tavern names. 'The Red Crundle' or 'The Ettin's Heads'.

[SammyLiimex]

Do goblins have pubs to crawl?  I figured they would just start beating them up

[PatrikLundell]

The taverns, libraries, and temples already get random names (which you can change). The zones you associate with these entities are not named, I assume (I haven't downloaded 0.44.10 yet).

The pub crawls are not in enemy territory, but rather neutral/friendly territory. Your dorfs will visit taverns and ask around if anybody knows anything about the whereabouts of the targeted artifact, basically the same way questers visit your tavern to ask for artifacts that may or may not be at your site.

Sounds like a bug that needs reporting.
