Scattered items
« on: July 15, 2008, 03:07:02 pm »

First time playing adventure mode in .39a (Haven't gotten around to switching yet) and I got a quest to go kill a giant in a cave. I travel there, and before I even find the cave, I run into this:


After a few minutes of collecting the items, my inventory looks like this:







So... What exactly caused this? Is the giant I'm hunting some sort of klepto that can't figure out how to carry his spoils inside? Did a caravan get destroyed here? Is this even supposed to happen, and is it changed in the new version? Regardless, I'm going to go back to town and see what I can get for all of this...

There's always been loot at gobbo towers and your own fortresses.  Seems like we are progressing closer to loot hoards now, as their looting is mentioned in the legends.

Well, it seems that this 'cave' is entirely above ground, so that makes sense. Rather amusing though, managed to trade all of her loot for about half a set of exceptional iron armor without even running into the giant until I went back.

version update fixes 'aboveground caves' but the loot still tends to be spread out above ground, at least in dwarf mode.
