[Trout]

I was swimming down a river in a terrifying biome killing whatever skeletal/zombie fish I came across (I was already legendary at that point due to strangling a zombie wolf for a day straight) when all of a sudden a few hundred of "Zombie carp/pike/sturgeon has been encased in ice" popped up on my screen. I go back to find myself in the ice too, without any warning. So ends my greatest character ever, just out of the blue, flash-frozen for all the zombie wolves to see.

I love this game.

Also, I wonder if I could go back to that spot with a different character later in the year and find my body. I wish I knew where it was, though.

Yeah, my best adventurer got flash frozen while training swimming. He had taken down elf civilizations, crushed the goblins and had a veritable army of children being trained up to be mighty warrirors. I was tempted to savescum but didn't. Several rescue parties were sent out but all failed. Some by ice, some by wolves and the rest by getting lost in a hostile mountain hall trying to get steel armor.

Its even more epic when all the fish die by being encased in ice and you luckily escape by 1 tile.

Damn those fluxuating river tempertures...

Ive lost of my best adventureres that way...
I just cant resist chasing after those fishes and slaughtering them all...
Now ive learnt to continually check what temperture it is in the water...

YEAH! I'm not the only one to have this happen to them.

How do you do this? I have not known how to determine tepurature of anything in adventure mode until I am blinded by frostbite...

I had a good adventurer flash frozen while he tried to swim up the length of the river.  Later I sent another adventurer to look for the body or his gear but it wasn't anywhere in the river.  I have had adventurers die in a river that cut through a town, and I did find their gear scattered about.  I think maybe when you die in the wilderness, if your gear is still there it's scattered over such a large area that you're unlikely to run into it.

In the town I have with a river, if an adventurer is about to die in the river I retire him instead; next time you start an adventurer there the old one will still be fighting the carp or alligators on his own, and if he then dies you have a chance of looting his corpse with all the equipment in one place, instead of scattered like it would be if you let him die before you ended the game.  Of course, you still have to dive into the alligator infested river to get it...
