A Raccoon stole an artifact =(
« on: July 14, 2010, 07:43:11 pm »

Dwarf had a mood, was doing stuff elsewhere so didn't pay too much attention, was going to find him in a few if he didn't start something.  Sure enough he began work, artifact copper toy axe, woo!  And... was stolen by a raccoon.  Almost immediately

Seems the dwarf claimed an abandoned metalsmith's forge near where my wagon was I had forgot to deconstruct instead of one inside with the rest of my crafting hub.  The dwarf in question had hauling turned off temporarily as I was mass smoothing some water pipes before I flooded 'em so he made it, left it there and buggered off leaving it there.  Raccoon swooped in and stole many thousands worth of dorfbucks  D=

All of my rage!

All of your dwarf's rage, as well. He's pretty pissed.

I'd always assumed that kobolds just run back to their... wherever kobolds live, but do animals that steal stuff just disappear, or what?

That really sucks... atleast if it was a kobold (and a useful artifact), you could have an epic adventure mode quest to reclaim the lost artifact... but a raccoon? Ouch...

That dwarf is gonna be pissed. Lock him in his room for a while so he doesn't cause a tantrum spiral.

I have never had a kobold ambush so I usually leave stockpiles of aluminium crafts outside my fort to try and tempt them, problem is I usually have a swarm of war bears by then.  raccoons do seem to almost be better at stealing because of their tenacity

Same thing happened to me with a copper battle axe (Not artifact).. Looks like those little buggers are forming an army..

Raccoons with bronze armor and iron warhammers, no doubt.

... right before my fortress got violated by goblins (Seems I do not fully understand the new military system even after browsing the wiki) a dwarf got a mood

He crafted a stone scepter.  On it was an image of a raccoon stealing the artifact toy axe previously mentioned  =D

Kill 'em painfully, that we may feed on their terror and anguish.
