My Melancholy Adventurer

I was testing out the movement system, letting my adventurer go hungry, tired, etc. to see what impact it had, and after a very long session of dwarven abuse, suddenly she went melancholy.  :(

From lack of sleep maybe?  That's the only one I can think of that might trigger it.

Yep, that was probably it, because I was trying to see what effect exhaustion had on movement. The display never got beyond "drowsy", though.  

Being melancholy definitely slowed her down, a lot. I could still control her, but it was unexpected.

Well, as long as the genocide is carried out against bipedal sentient beings. But you'd better believe that when one of old Ingish's fifty pet cats goes missing, you've got a disaster on your hands.
