Hi, this is from a modded game with orcs and other stuff. Version 40d. most recent orcs.

I have just had a pile of orcs move through a fortification, which I didn't think was possible.

The scenario: I am drowning orcs in an entryway trap. They run to the front floodgate trying to escape. I have a small outpost, made of fortifications carved from smooth stone looking into the hallway, and outside (a horse is chained to detect some goblins). Water escapes through this fortification to outside. I look again, and suddenly the orcs have moved through the fortification into my base. Definitely not by any legal path.

Anyone else experienced such a thing?

2: end location of orcs, inside base.
W: Wall
F: fortification
X: closed floodgate

according to reports, water pressure can sometimes force creatures through fortifications, is that whats happening?

love, jakkarra

Sorry, I'm just trying to imagine an orc being squeezed through an arrowslit.

Yeah, in all likelihood it's one of these:

# 000802 □ [creatures] (Report) snakemen can get through fortifications
# 000680 □ [dwarf mode][buildings]   (Report,Report) unit projectiles go through wall grates, flows push units through bars

Yeah, those sound right. Thanks guys

I was momentarily panicked by the thought of nautical orcish contortionists.

Guess my next deathtrap must incorporate a hydro-squeeze mechanism.
