Batsplosion!
« on: January 07, 2009, 12:04:20 am »

Ok, I just started a new fortress and I wanted to have an all-above ground fortress. Anyway, I was digging a quarry and look away from the quarry entrance for a bit. I look at the quarry entrance again and there's an ASSLOAD of bats swarming out of the newly dug quarry. Or so it seems. But that's not the cool part. The cool part is that the bat's are dropping dead left and right, leaving remains everywhere. Rotten remains!

I caught some footage of it, but only the very last parts of the batsplosion, unfortunately. It was WAY cooler when they were all over the place.

I strongly suspect those flies everywhere are linked to the incident too.

You know what? There's blood spatters everywhere too. And nobody's hurt...?

I had one of those once. I still want to know why that happens. Maybe it's a 'swarm of bats' that breaks apart?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Fossaman has the right idea, it's a swarm of bat that gets broken up.
