Dwarf cancels Train: Live target appeared.
« on: March 28, 2008, 09:20:00 am »

I didn't bring a hunter with me to this map, and I'm kinda glad.  So far, I've lost 5 hunters to the local wildlife (wolves and the occasional cougar).  They generally leave me alone when I'm not hunting, but one wolf decided to wander close to my fort a bit ago:

Urist Ducimteskom, Champion cancels Shooting at Archery Range: Interrupted by wolf.

Curious to see how my legendary marksdwarf reacted to the wolf, I looked to my archery target... just in time to see the last few rapid-fire bolts sent after the wolf.  Judging from what I saw, the next message should have been:

Wolf cancels Breathe: Interrupted by =Ash Bolt=.

How nice of the wolf to provide a live target for my marksdwarf's practice.

On the flip side, I had a dwarf plinging away at the archery range near the entrance to the fort, and 16 goblin lashers looking in at him through the fortifications.

Ploing.  Ploing.

Eventually he finished his stack of 50 camel-bone bolts and got around to helping the visitors out.

Somebody with a registered wiki account needs to add that to the quotes list.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Well, since it was in Quote Archive, I went ahead and added it to /Quote (the randomized quote system for the main page).
