Hello again. The help in the previous thread was much appreciated by my companion. Lol.

So a king of a civilization gave me a quest to kill a titan. Oh joy!

Upon reaching the cave, I receive some combat messages about a titan and mountain goat fighting. My money was on the titan. From those messages, I deduced that the titan must be on the surface somewhere, so I check the immediate area around the cave. Nothing.

I enter the cave, and explore it thoroughly for about half an hour. No titan. I leave the area.

I do some other little quests then come back, hoping to finally slay the elusive titan. I enter directly in the cave, and am assaulted by many large groups of naked mole rats, antmen, rat men, etc. The cave is about 4x more populated than before. I don't find the titan in the cave, but at least I could decorate many of the walls with the blood of his minions. Then I get combat messages about a giant eagle and titan fighting. My money is on the titan again, but even more, I am excited to know that the titan must be on the surface.

I explore all the area marked by the quest log, (hitting z when you are in the quest area) and still find no titan.

I have sworn to destroy that king's civilization if I don't find that titan in a year. Has anyone else been deceived by conniving kings in this manner?

I've had a similar problem, just with a civ itself and not a quest target. The dwarven queen kept owning goats untill one of them bit her left lower arm off but i never saw a trace of them. My theory is that they somehow end up ontop of trees or something.

[Jetman123]

Or on top of roofs.

[Asehujiko]

Mountainhomes don't have roofs. Neither do caves.

Caves don't have trees either.  Unless they're towercaps, but I've never seen those in a game-genned dwarven fortress...

[Syreal]

I can never find chasms either. I always get spammed about various monsters falling into them, but never have I had the fortune to watch the monsters tumble in like lemmings.

I found a chasm once, there were like fifteen antmen nearby, and I was filled with joy as I knocked them into the abyss.

I have a little addon that lets you warp people around by inputting various coordinates. More often than not, I use it to warp people or things I want to kill right next to me so I don't have to go through the bother of wandering around for 15+ minutes trying to find a stupid minotaur in a cave system and promptly get my eyes gored out.

Sometimes, though, I just use it to actually know where the stupid blight is located so I can hunt them down. They can get in the strangest places, I've noticed.

Chasms are a potentially underground feature: they can often only be found through digging rather than exploring. As such, your adventurer isn't going to have much luck, but you might consider building a fortress there if you really want to see a chasm.
