Help me get past this guy
« on: March 10, 2012, 04:08:05 am »

The entrance to the sewer system has only one door. This door leads into a room that contains a person that I don't want to kill. That 2nd room in turn contains the exit. I have 200+ zombies following me. Is there a way for me to get into the first room, the inner room, without killing the guy in the outer room? In this case I am perfectly willing to use dfhack or use other tools to make a door directly into the first room. Thanks

PS: is there a way for me to upload pic's? I have a screen capture that might make this easier to explain. Here's my best attempt at asci art explaining it (I use the texture packs so I have no idea what it normally looks like so here, a # means a wall, a $ means a person I want to avoid, an X means the place I'm trying to get to, and a D means a door)

Sneak?

He's not a threat to me, I'm the threat to him. I don't want to have my 300 zombie friends kill him. If I go into the front of that building, every zombie in my army will say "look, fresh brains!" (jk) and they will all rush him. I don't want him to die so I'm trying to figure out how to prevent my hoard from seeing him. Is there a way to 1. get my zombie's to ignore him or 2. remove one of the walls from the back room (the room I'm trying to get into) so I don't have to even enter that room. I don't want to leave my zombies behind if I can help it.

PS: If worse comes to worse and I have to kill off my zombies before I enter the room... how do I do that? Thanks

Nevermind. One of my zombie's decided to look inside of that door and saw the guys and killed one of them. The other was a law-giver but he was ignored, anyone have any idea why that was?

edit: lol, just realized the guy is a vampire :D
I kind of feel sorry for this town. first their law-giver turns out to be a vamp, then they get a zombie invasion :D
I love this game

Probably because the law bringer was a skinny prude. or maybe the other guy seemed to be more of a threat. I thought the 200+ zombies were chasing you xD

If someone is in your way, you get through by lying down and crawling underneath them.

Ah, yes, I thought something was amiss. Now I see. There's not enough terrible things in the lakes.

They ignored the Law-giver propably because he is a vampire. all the law-givers ive seen have been vampires so far

I think you are doing the roleplaying thing wrong. As a necromancer, you don't spare anyone. You don't want to. Such thoughts don't even cross your mind. If you want to make people happy, play a travelling minstrel ;-)

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Well there you go, a vampire lawgiver. Immortal and not attractive to the undead.

One possibility, albeit very inconvenient,  would be to kill all your zombies, collect their corpses and carry them past "this guy".
