12 Dwarves of Christmas (Gobbo in a Larch Tree?)
« on: October 24, 2009, 08:53:55 pm »
While my woodcutters cut trees and hauled them away, a goblin (with a human spearman) ambushed my guards on duty. They instantly seized the day and rushed in to defend the hapless woodcutters. During the epic (actually... short...) battle, my head swordsdwarf Vabok Uzmistem "Growledportals", which happens to be dual wielding Obsidian Shortswords, knocks a goblin off the cliff. I paused the game so I could move to see it fly. When I resumed it kept flying until it landed *plop* right on top of a tree.

Urist McFirefighter cancels rest: getting goblin out of tree.
Urist McChoirsinger cancels sing 12 Dwarves of Christmas: interrupted by goblin in a larch tree

Urist McHammer: Hey who spiked the River Spirits?
Jones McAdventurer: I hated all that singing.

Jervous the Ratman and Slimdus the Kobold: Hehehe.
Nightwing: I know you spiked the River Spirits...

Urist McSanta: FREE ORTHOCLASE ROCK MUGS FOR EVERYONE!
Dwarf Children: YEY!

What happens if its cut down? Will the body fall? We have the answers on: Urist McMythbusters. With Urist and Urist!
Dwarved Mythbusters

Sing along! 12 Dwarves of Christmas!

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Interesting! You must start recording, show that the body is really on the same tile as the tree, then cut it. Post results.

Do it, for science.

I would say that it will fall down. What I can say is, that in Adventurer Mode, if you land on a tree, your status will be shown as flying.

I will record it. In fact, I'm going to back up the save which was made the second after the screenshot and run field tests on it.

Right after the gobbo landed on that tree, I went and had dinner. While at dinner I couldn't help but think in my head:
"On the first day of Felsite, my true love gave to me:
A Gobbo in a Larch tree..."

Oh this is so very awesome. I happen to know a choir teacher, if you guys come up with lyrics I'll do what I can to get him to make his kids sing it. I'll even post it here on the intarwebs.

I think it should be "eight maggots a-purring" but apart from that, awesome.

"nine dwarves tantruming" still doesn't sound quite right.

I think this version is best

On the eleventh day of Felsite, Armok gave to me:
twelve siegers sieging.
eleven elves a-tortured.
ten nobles burning
nine dwarves a-drinking
eight maggots purring
seven carps a-swimming
six hunters hunting
five platinum rings!
four giant eagles,
three !!plump helmets!!,
two xx(rotten turtles)xx,
and a goblin in a larch tree
