What happens to stolen items once the bandits/you leave the map? Can they be tracked and reclaimed? Can the items end up outside the bandits' possession (in shops or camps, for example)?

Also, what qualifies as a "valuable" item for stealing?

Now this just wants me to try and make an artifact in a fort, retire said fort, get an adventurer to pick up said artifact, get himself robbed by bandits and then see where that things ends up. Possibly even reclaim it and return it to the fort.

Yup, I think I know what I'll be doing in DF2014. Not that I didn't have any plans for it already.

For easy following, I'm pretty sure you can mod it to be syndrome-inducing, then you just follow the trail of whatever its effect is.

Then again, I'm quite sure goods don't move much post-world gen. Still valid main question, though. Can you find it on the robber? Does he sell it in the town? Does it vanish?

Their leader made small talk as two others surrounded me.

Do all people have the potential to do smalltalk when they meet you or is this something reserved for important people or bandits?

Heheh, I'm thinking that ANYONE who's tries to make smalltalk needs an axe to the forehead as the initial reply.

Toady: Dang it, why won't anyone rob me? (not a real quote)

I find it funny that even when Toady finally gets robbed... they still don't actually rob him.

Two Minecart related questions:

Will it be possible to designate a hauling stop [for trading] or some such. Attaching it to a Depot for purposes of bringing goods out from the depths of your Fort?

Will Invaders/Hostiles/Mischievous/etc creatures interact with [Push/Ride] a Minecart  they can path to?
I realize path finding wouldn't necessarily be able to tell if the route was safe or where it went, but I can think of plenty of instances for both case where you would(n't) want un-friendlies riding your rails.

Salt coming up in the tavern arc?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Salt as in the flavoring?

[Knight Otu]

Salt coming up in the tavern arc?

It's really too early to tell what will definitely come in with tavern work, but I do imagine that improved meals, including condiments, flavorings, as well as recipes, have a very good chance of being included. Food preservation might be there as well, but likely has less of a chance.

Eh, it wouldn't make much sense to include salt and not do food preservation at the same time. That's a much more important point to it than the much later flavoring aspect. Anyway, I wouldn't say the food revamp/expansion will necessarily be worked into with the tavern stuff. It is sort of feature creep territory, so it's a toss-up I'd say ^^

Somewhat relevant quote for those interested:

Because if things are left alone they'll rot because that's what happens, but I don't remember how strongly I fought rot when I went to do the towns, so it's possible that you could have eternal meat and in that case that's kind of strange, because we should get to salting stuff, and making cooked stuff last a little bit longer, what other weird things people do ... use sugar to preserve fruit or something, is that right? We've got a lot to do there, should be intriguing to add the salt based industries, and mine your salt and then I guess you grind it down or something. That's what the internet is for, it's so I don't have to know anything. It'll be alright.

So that's a "No", then? /amusement

Do we as adventurers have the option to rob people?

What speed will Fort mode dwarves default to?
I'm imagining a horde of dwarves zooming through the halls at full tilt.

[cephalo]

Do we as adventurers have the option to rob people?

Thus far, that's pretty much what adventure mode has been all about.

It just needed to be disguised a little better, like the rest of us do with our suggestion questions.  But it still wouldn't get much of an answer, such as with the "Salt?" one.

I guess the specific question is: once an NPC yields, can we demand that they drop their belongings?
