Knocked in a lake
« on: August 11, 2010, 03:25:39 pm »

Yeaaah, so I was knocked in a lake. Any way I can get out? There's no ramps, and alt - arrow key doesn't seem to work. I can't fast travel either.

if you are drowning then you will die, not much to do about it except drown.

Pick up mud and throw it at whatever was attacking you till it dies. Then fast travel. That or throw your sword.

there is an image of the goblin Utes Gozrusrozsnus and dwarves in elf bone. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture. the dwarves are striking a menacing pose.
this image relates to the slaying of Utes Gozrusroz

Moving around the edges and trying to sneak can let you fast travel. That is, if theres no water in it. If there is and you dont have swimming skill, you die! But worry not, adventurers are very expendable. I once 'enriched' the history of a new fortress site by killing off a few dozen adventurers there. Neat engraving of adventurers dying in silly ways!

Don't worry, Eventually every adventurer dies, Weither it be some bull shit lucky wolf, Biteing off more then we can chew. Or drowning from a horrible dodge. Stumbling apon a GCS. The point is, Theres no way to avoid it anything short of retireing.

All races(exept for goblins and elves) have max ages written in the raws. I guess those applies to adventurers aswell as anyone else.

I doubt anyone has made it to the age limit in adventurer. You useally get killed off by some bastard lucky wolf. Almost as lucky as a little girl punching out a GCS.

How badass will it be to have a 135 year old adventurer though?! But I wonder what happens when you hit the age cap. Do you just shed a tear, put your cap to your heart, mumble something poetic and drop dead?

I don't know about anyone else, but when Toady implements worldgen restarting and adventure mode digging I'll ramp up megabeasts and do some awesomeness in year one. I may even play an elf adventurer so I can keep using him throughout the centuries.

Imagine the engravings! [especially if said adventurers roamed below the magma sea]

Also I wonder how five development changes around areas that are open.
