Voyage to the center of the earth. In a pig tail cloak.
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:54:31 pm »
A goblin ambush made it to the entrance of my fort and its leader was quickly trapped in a cage, preventing the others from moving either forward (onto more traps) or away.  The solution?  Unlock the front doors and let the scampering dwarves lure them in.  It worked fine.  DF crashed a few minutes later, so I reloaded and unlocked the doors again.  This time, one of the sneaky goblins backed around the corner, which meant a dwarf made it outside before dropping what he was doing and running in the opposite directions to the traps.  Please make them smarter toady :<. 

Now, I have my fortress located on a flat volcano, with the entrance spanning its mouth.  Cool, yes, if somewhat dangerous for fleeing dwarves. 



After running around the lip with the goblin hammerer smashing at her feet, my little dwarf did an impressive dodge... and disappeared.  I could only assume she jumped into the lava, though I couldn't see her, going down a dozen or so z-levels.  Until...



I salute her final noble act of depths exploration.


edit: I paused too quickly.  She also found a magma pool :3

Wait so the problem with her falling into a pit of magma was that she DROWNED!?!?

The learning curve of the df forums should be equal to that of df itself.

Everyone knows only lesser lifeforms burn in magma. Dwarves wallow in magma until they drown.

Was temperature off, or did the SMR "eat" her and say it was a drowning?

I think you just won DF.  You found a way to make nobles useful.

In the early spring of 143 Diso began wandering the wilds.

In the early spring of 143 Diso starved to death in the Horn of Striking.

I do have temperature off, yes, though I figured that was just for environmental stuff like ice forming / melting.

Nope, turning temperature off stops anything temperature related happening, including burnination by magma.

Hmm, that explains how my legendary miner managed to swim out of a flooded magma forge pipe without injury...

Well, when dwarves dumped into magma they are drowning, it's just the least of their problems.

Well, I just turned temperatures back on.  The miner that survived a magma swim 3 years ago? 

She just spontaneously combusted while sleeping.



unpause...



Nothing around her was affected, including the sleeper adjacent to her, or the bed she was in.  Even her equipment is all pristine. :|

The only reason dwarfs drown in magma is cause of the sudden lack of lungs by accidentally breathing in said magma... yeeeahhh.... Definitely the least of their problems.

It was featured in Headshoots. Magma can't be washed off either. It was the second to last leader I think.
