Blessed dwarf?
« on: April 13, 2015, 09:48:08 am »

My map has a river chasm which bottom is 9 z levels from the surface. None of my dorfs is swimmer or climber, so if they fall they should die.

But today I noticed two "accidents", and a seemingly blessed dorf.



1) I let two dorsf remove two limestone u/d stairs above the chasm. They did the job standing on the stairs.
I was curious about how they would climb up so I watched. I can swear I saw the first dorf fell... but the next second he was in the meeting area without a scratch (100 fps, everything was a bit fast).
Then I stared at the second worker, a carpenter. Now I clearly saw he fell into the chasm and splashed. But instead of dying, he did a FTL jump and I lost track of him. Using the unit menu, I found him on a tree 10 z levels above the river bed! I had to build some stairs so he could get down.

Uh oh... the combat log also confirmed that:

The spinning limestone strikes The Carpenter in the left upper leg, but there is no force!



2) The same carpenter fought a kea shortly after the inccident. The kea attacked and he jumped into the chasm... oh shit!

The Kea snatches at The Carpenter in the lower body with his first toe, right foot, bruising the fat through the (horse leather trousers)!
The Carpenter punches The Kea in the right foot with his right hand, bruising the skin!
The Kea attacks The Carpenter but He jumps away!

The Carpenter slams into an obstacle!
The Carpenter's left lower arm takes the full force of the impact, bruising the bone through the (llama wool cloak)!
The Carpenter's upper body takes the full force of the impact, bruising the muscle and bruising the right lung through the (llama wool cloak)!
The Carpenter is having trouble breathing!
The Carpenter's lower body takes the full force of the impact, bruising the muscle and bruising the stomach through the (horse leather trousers)!

Obok Cerolnish, Carpenter: Our time in The Oracular Land is so brief...  Begone fear!
Obok Cerolnish, Carpenter: I've been injured badly.  Waaaaa...
Obok Cerolnish, Carpenter: Help!  Save me!
Obok Cerolnish, Carpenter: This is a fight!  Ahhhhhhh!  No!

Next second, he was in his bed, with only some buises and wet clothes.



Edit*

Oh, another teleporting dorf.  A miner fell into the water and re-appeared on a tree 12 z levels above...

odd... this looks to me like you have dfhack's fastdwarf on to 1 1 (fast and teleport on), as the teledwarf would let them just get there in a single tick if there's a path from here to there. Or there's something weird. Try making more stairs and getting them to take them down, but this time watch them tick-by-tick ('.'). If something's still wrong and it's not fastdwarf/teledwarf, I'm not sure what's going on.

Oh, it seems they simply climb all the way onto the tree...

I tested with a wooden stair. The first picture shows the dorf removing the stair. The second picture shows him falling with the log. The third shows him lying in the water. The rest of the pictures show him climbing all the way to the tree....

After looking at the path of the Dwarf... I thought, from the way you described this that the tree was overhanging and it was a straight climb up into the tree...

...now I can see what the Dwarf did... why did he pick that tree? Like, there are plenty of closer trees to the chasm... does he path along the ground, or does he climb the first tree then walk along the branches?

He pathed along the ground(the red arrow).

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.
