Forgotten Beast got Lost
« on: May 08, 2015, 09:37:17 am »

It was a flying kite with webs, yadda yadda.

The caverns are vast and partly unexplored, and after heading directly to my fort for a while it went into parts unknown and was lost sight of.  It's been missing for seasons now.  Shouldn't it path to dwarves?  Should I make it a statue garden to play in?  I already have all my weavers gathering webs, but the caverns are incredibly tall and mostly inaccessible.

You never know when you might need a berserk dwarf to set loose somewhere.

Well, it probably attacked something too powerful for it. It happens from time to time that FBs get themselves killed without the help of your dorfs, especially if their made of flimsy material such as steam, fire, or vomit. But even "normal" flesh based FBs tend to get worn down by slaughtering hordes of critters.
On indication of FBs losing is that you see a "normal" cavern critter with a name, which means it has killed something that had a name.

The first thing I found in the caves was a giant cave spider.  A giant cave spider mangled corpse.  So yeah, there could be something else dangerous in there.  It's shown no interest in my dwarves yet, whatever it is.  The FB didn't look particularly flimsy, but it didn't look super tough either.  It was just a weird animal.

Then again animals come and go, and the caves are still largely unexplored and inaccessible.  Time to continue the grand staircase perhaps.

The best DF stories are usually started by ignoring/forgetting about something dangerous appearing/disappearing XD continue onward!!!
