[Urist McDwarfFortress]

I just started trying out Adventure Mode.  I walked into the capitol of a human civilization and found to my surprise that every single shop was unattended.  All their wares and coins were there, but there wasn't a single shopkeeper in the whole city.  Every house I went into had at least one human in it.  They all talked about endless numbers of people in the city being killed by night creatures, so maybe that had something to do with it.  Its kind of annoying me because naturally I stole everything in the city, and now I have to lug it all off to who-knows-where so I can sell it.

Is this a common occurrence?  Any ideas what happened?

I've never actually seen that but if huge numbers of people were killed it stands to reason that a huge number would be missing.

I had that once. I just assumed everyone was dead and took all their weapons.

I had that once. I eventually found like one inhabitant in the entire city. If you sleep in the shops holding the equipment, sometimes you sleep-teleport out and aren't considered a thief. It's an odd bug, though, and not necessarily worth it.
