[decided to write a crappy Emote filled story to fill you in on what happened, the question is at the very end if you don't want to read the story.]While finishing up my moat (conveniently I didn't need to pump water as the trench was on the same level as the river
) I ended up having to completely seal off the only entrance to my fort by digging a channel across, I only had 2 tiles left to do, so, thinking that my miners had some form of a functional brain,
I started with the outermost tile needed, thinking to trap everyone INSIDE while work on the bridge was ongoing...
For some reason though my miner thought it prudent to do so from the OUTSIDE,
effectively locking him out away from warm beds, food, and, most importantly, BOOZE!
Now, I still needed his help to continue tunneling deeper into the cozy little home we made here, so I decided to put the bridge on the fast track. My fellow dwarves apparently hated him though, as my designated architect decided that he was suddenly thirsty!
I put my otherwise unoccupied lumberman on the job, wanting it DONE. Reluctantly, he went over to the bridge and got to work.
Once finished it was the Masons turn... and he was asleep in the barracks
... Sooo lucky I didn't have a hammerer! When he FINALLY woke up, he too got to work. Meanwhile, outside, my miner was getting thirsty,
So thirsty he decided to go to the river to get some water,
he reached the waters edge, and a carp swam along, pretty much knocking him in, unwilling to suffer such indignity at the hands (Fins?) of a fish, he impaled it on his handy pickaxe, dropping it fast.
Then the current caught up with him, as he had spent so much energy, fighting a fish, he couldn't quite make it back to shore, before the current swept him under, and he drowned.
(one tile away, so close)
Hey! What do ya know... The bridge is done!
So now after trying, repeatedly, to get them to grab him (and his stuff) from the river, I come here to ask you: How do you fish a dwarf (and his stuff) from the river? His coffin is waiting for him to return. (and Dwarves are waiting for his stuff)
