I expected a thread like this to be around, but didn't find any. Share moments that made you WTF
Anyway.. I had a fortress near undead and lava, with plenty of skeletal imps, magma men, and some skeletal goats wreaking havoc. I fully expected an onslaught from them and kept my fort well defended against them, ready for their invasion.
Well.. a year after starting.. a dwarf died! I searched all over the place but couldn't find the killer. Then some puppies died. And while doing stuff, I found a dead peasant dropping from the sky.
Turns out that there was a Horse covered in blood kicking guys off cliffs. The Horse had a name. I chased it down with another guy... who died, killed by another Horse.
WTF? I could beat skeletal mountain goats, but horses are killing my guys? I
manned dwarfed a small militia to guard the drawbridge and the horses disappeared. Then my guys decided to take a quick break from the post, which was fine, since there were no horses in sight. Next thing I read:
Edem Osormorul, Recruit cancels Rest: Interrupted by a Horse.
Edem Osormorul, Recruit has been struck down.I locked everyone in, set them to an intense training plan that turned them into champion wrestlers within the next season. And when I set out to avenge my fallen brothers, the named horses are gone! THOSE HORSES ARE PURE EVIL.
