[Heavenfall]

I've seen dwarves drag unconcious dwarves back. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't tell you why. I don't know why.

I appear to be doing it wrong.

Code: [Select]

The spinning *menacing tower-cap spike* strikes The broker in the head, tearing the muscle, jamming
the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!
The broker has been knocked unconscious!
Litast Egastlitast, Miner has been impaled on spikes.

I imagine whoever got tasked with recover wounded is busy doing other things.

Ouch!  I think the trick is using a poorly made wooden training spear, rather than a menacing spike.  But then again, even that could land a (un)lucky strike.

Anything can pierce soft, unarmored dwarven tissue. Using training weapons is important as those rely on bludgeoning to deal damage, and wood is light enough that the dwarves escape with bruising at worst.

In my case, there was no wounded dwarf.  The only task to be performed at that point was "Place Item in Tomb".

(And in case it wasn't clear, "The broker" and "Litast Egastlitast, Miner" were the same dwarf.  Upon death, the position of broker became unfilled, so Litast reverted to the other title of Miner in between the last two lines of output.)
