The amazing fireproof boy!
« on: May 12, 2012, 11:32:18 pm »
So I had a dwarven child get mysteriously dumped into the top of an active volcano. Not unusual, but then he didn't melt. Didn't even die until he hit molten rock at the bottom. Anyone ever have this happen?

After dwarves touch magma it takes a little bit for them to actually burn to death. IF the dwarf was falling they could probably fall all of the way down to the bottom before finally dying, even though they were technically doomed from the instant they first touched the magma.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Falling Dwarf = Immune to all external hostilities in the world, with an exception to the obvious few.

Well he wasnt falling as through air, he was moving slower than that. Had time to watch him sink. Discovered some candy though, so all is well.

But why waste dwarves? Dumping a kitten works just as well.

This happened to me recently.
One of my pack animals kicked one of my starting seven into the volcano.

Why waste kittens? Dump a potash maker.

The moral of this story is that the ideal volcanic exploration team consists of an elven potash maker and his pet kitten.

Was he fighting with a halfling over some ring??   Because if he was I saw it happen too... and I don't think it was a dwarven child.
