Captain of the Gaurd canels sleep: Interrupted by PTSD
« on: April 16, 2010, 07:47:24 pm »
So down in the depths I fought my first Giant Toad.  He ate 3 wrestlers and one Hammer Dwarf before lurking away into the water.  Virtually all of his body was yello and much of his feet were red, but he got away...

Now as much of my milita are in the hospital ward, the captain of the gaurd appeares haunted by the Beast that got away.  Even though He is on the first level in my Hospital, I will occasionally get the message:
"Ezum Avuzarros canccels rest: interrupted by Giant Toad"

Surely this poor Dwarf has been scarred by the encounter and cannot sleep so long as the Beast remains alive!!!

Ask not what the Dwarfs can do for you...
But ask.... why are they drunk all the time?

Rename him Ahab and send him into the depths with a iron spear.

This is the sort of thing where you can't tell if it's more awesome as a bug or a feature.

What do you really need to turn Elves into Dwarves? Mutation could make them grow a beard; insanity effects could make them evil-minded, aggressive, tree-hating cave dwellers, and instant, full necrosis of their lower legs could make them short.

It really is rather creepy, if it was a bug, you wou'd think he wou;dn't be able to sleep at all or something...

But instead he will sleep for a while, get fed, and then suddenly "Rest Interrupted by Giant Toad!"

Oh geez.  If it is a "feature" well need dwarven Psychiatrists as an addition to the hospital.  Hmm. Not a bad idea though.  Maybe there is a chance to save mood dwarfs from either PTSD or PMSD.

I've had Dorf's wh ohave pulled a Monty Python's Black Knight. They've had limbs chopped off and just keep coming. Although most of those are my patented "Spartan Dwarfs."
except in DF, the "I'll bit your legs off" threat is serious.

This was suggested in one of the FotF threads... If it's a bug, it should be improved and released back into the game. :D

Does your Captain of the Guard have a hook for a hand?  Maybe the Giant Toad swallowed a clock.

Next thing you'll be telling me there was a flying elf too!

I had this happen as well, but, luckily, my trapper was haunter with mere draltha. So i just had to hunt it down in the caves.
After it died, trapper resumed to live like normal.

Finally, something for those bloody Philosophers to do other than just stand around and contemplate reality (as the room they're in slowly floods with Magma...).
