Stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my guts around
« on: March 13, 2013, 09:55:16 pm »
So a kobold thief stabbed one of my giant peregrine falcons and its guts spilled out.  The falcon seems to have survived (it's still flashing a red cross though) but I just noticed that its icon is dragging two grey tildes ~~ (20 feet?) of guts behind it as it flies around.  Has anyone noticed this before?  I've never heard it mentioned.

I read about this on the Dwarf Fortress page at TV Tropes, but I've never actually seen it in action!

Kinky.

What do the tiles examine as?
"Here trails a giant peregrine falcon's guts"?

I've seen it with a reanimated dwarf corpse, but I don't think I've seen it on a living thing before.

It's one of those little "Toady puts detail into things that are rarely seen" bits.

You can just see the giant bobcats salivating over the yummy bird guts.

You didn't know?
You can get your guts spilled out and they can trail after you.

We had this one dwarf who had those and the bastards here tried to science him by attempting to slam doors shut on his guts.

I don't know about unicorns, but back in .95, one of my PA soldiers was diagnosed with power armor. I drew a fairly good picture about it, but my science project (a bunny) pissed all over it.

One of my best adventurers was one who beat people to death with their guts.

I wonder if he could wield his own guts somehow? Not that that'd help the bird. Maybe you should put it in retirement so your dwarfs can gawk at it.

And thus, "The running of the goblins" became an annual tradition and the first dwarven contraceptive.

There are no moghoppers. We have always been allies of Oceania, and at war with Eastasia.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

A door won't close if an item is in the way, so I'd guess it didn't work. Lighting the guts on fire on the other hand....

Surely they tried drawbridges?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.
