Make vozbel bag?
« on: January 02, 2016, 09:11:50 pm »
In the manager there is a job "make vozbel bag"; I have the DFhack alpha installed, but is this a real item? The only reference to "vozbel" I can find is that it is the dwarven word for "ravager"

If your animals aren't expendable, you could always station a dwarf or two out there?

it's a randomly generated musical instrument. You first make the parts, then assemble the instruments. Type vozbel in the manager queue and you'll see the other parts.

Oh, well it seems the vozbel is some kind of bagpipe, given that it's made of a bag, a blow pipe, a melody pipe and a drone pipe

...Some kind of bagpipe, yes, but its inventor named it a 'Ravager'.

THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is Dwarf Fortress.

Clearly you need to get one decorated with spikes, and force a battle-bard to use it in battle.

I wonder if you could mod blades and hilts to be valid components in instruments...

Probably, but it wouldn't give the instrument any special attacks or anything.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

Adding weapon properties to a whole instrument?

It's a bagpipe. It already has weapon properties.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Have mere proximity to it cause ear bleeding?
