Chronicles of Impulsiveness and Arson
« on: December 30, 2008, 04:30:47 pm »

Frustrated with humans towns and their casual state of quite untroubled, i decided to take revenge.  Seeking to avoid the ability of omniscient eye of the civilization group to know whenever anyone has transgressed against it, I conducted a chain of events to satisfy my desire for both death, greed, and getting away with it.

1. Collect corpses.  Any will do, though wolves seem to be the most plentiful.

2. Return to the town.  Find the nearest flammable object (trees, bush, etc) from the door of the building.  Make a path of corpses from the object to the desired inferno area.  Heat will transfer at a diagonal.

3. Arrange corpses in the inferno area for maximum potential chance of igniting a townsperson's clothing as they pass through or idle.  Sadly, the fire will not go up the ramp to the second floor of the mead hall.

4. Enjoy inferno.

5. Collect non-burned dropped stuff, be wary not to ignite yourself.

6. Sell unneeded items to the clueless town and civilization group, completely baffled in regard to who is responsible. Oh, and profit.

7. Repeat as necessary.

I created a region with the temperature at almost max, walked into a human town as a spirit of fire and sat in the ashes, listening to the crys of children as everything burned.

I dont want to set the world on fi-

Although your ideas pretty good the innocent children are spared.

Well, "Histories" would just sound nonsensical, wouldn't it!

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Allrighty. 



This particular site is good since there's a nice tree right by the door to the mead hall.  If you'll notice my speed I'm pretty weighed down with wolf corpses and parts.  However, I only have a strength rated at "Very Strong".  I'm not sure if this will be ideal since the distance from the door to the ramp up to the second level isn't that much, making for fewer tiles of inferno to cross, but it's worth a shot.



Here's my arrangement, with most of the corpses accumulated by the door, and varies wolf parts arranged from there on every other tile.  The fire will begin at the tree.

Tyipcally, while waiting for things it to get going, I drop to the ground and hit sneak just to have to use less keystrokes to advance the living kindling into the mead hall.



Here the initial cougar corpse has caught fire.  The heat will also destroy the door, as well as the tables and chairs in the meadhall.



If we're lucky this Crossbowman will go up. The three tiles to his left have burning corpses, those the wolf corpse on his tile hasn't ignited.

Alas, poor Opra, I knew him well.  Well, not really.  Note that only his leather equipment is on fire, the rope reed stuff hasn't caught yet.  I suppose that's worth considering when choosing what type of underwear to have your adventurer wear before going into battle with the Dragon.



And this human child's leather hood and gloves have caught fire.



After some waiting, it seems the Crossbowman and the child perished outside the meadhall.  Phooey.

A few folk pass through the fire without incident.  I grow worried that this won't be a good show.  My mind races, what to do?

Well, I suppose I could throw a burning item from the lower floor up onto the mead hall's second level.



Here i drop all my leather items just because I'm feeling paranoid.



Got my brand.



That wasn't so bad.  No burns for me, my weak throwing skill still only missed by a single tile from my intended spot.  If you notice that the spearman is prone it's because he just moved from the tile to his left where a child was standing up.  Let's see how this turns out.

Dissapointing.  The spearman walked away from the burning wolf tail.  Must've had a momentary stroke of wisdom.



I threw this head up there.  I think I'm going to have to throw every burning item I can up onto the second floor.

...

Okay, a few more firey things are upstairs.  A child walked right onto a !!wolf tail!! that i'd planned to throw, but I let him have it instead.



The child has just fallen and is pretty much toast.  I'm just surprised that the rope reed cloth items still haven't caught yet.  Still haven't gotten anyone else to burn yet.

Though that dead kid did just leave me with a plethora of !!leather!! items to throw.  Hmm, do I risk it?



Course I do.  Finally got a !!wolf head!! to join those two guards deep in conversation.

I keep throwing what I can, and I briefly consider grabbing something, dropping on the ground, and dropping it on the same tile as someone, but when I get the warning message that I'm blistering, I give up on that.  Most of the people upstairs now have at least one of their worn leather items burning.  It's just a matter of time.
