How do you retrieve a lodged weapon out of a dead creature once you've lost hold of it?

[Railick Stonemane]

I dunno about anyone else but when i get a weapon stuck in someone and kill them the weapon is on the ground whereever the body is or, in the case of blowing them away, it is sometimes randomly on the ground some where in between me and the place the body ended up. Someone else reported that when he got a weapon stuck in a monster and it died, the weapon disappeared. Never had that happen myself. (Though I always use a hammer dwarf so the only time I get weapons stuck is if I'm throwing a spear I found)

Its usually a matter of just going over the spot of the corpse, and picking your weapon out of the list. Or finding your weapon somewhere in the general vicinity.

[Eagle of Fire]

If I remember well my experiments from 23a, to retreive a weapon lodged somewhere you need to to in the wrestle menu and grab it again to try to get possession back on the item.

As it been mentioned above, if the monster is dead then it should be quite easy to find the weapon back in the same square than the corpse...

Occasionally the weapon will disappear, it's a glitch, and lost me my enhanced Scimitar.

[Wiles]

Thanks. My axe did disappear. I ended up fighting the other cave spider with a bolt. That didn't go so well!

You have to wrestle the monster, grab your weapon with an empty hand and then nteract with it to gain its possession.
