Insanely Durable Dwarfs
« on: September 04, 2010, 10:10:16 am »



My group of poorly trained wrestlers took on a group of goblin ambushers. This one was skewered by a goblin two or three times. I expected a very long hospital stay. Instead, she took to training the recruits on the finer points of dodging. I figured she'd die from infection or something, and maybe being the militia commander was keeping her from the hospital, so I replaced her. She hasn't visited the hospital, and what gets me is that she's quite content even though her insides aren't completely inside.
Is there something I should do about this, or should I see how this plays out? If she stays like this, I'm scared for everything that attacks us.
Does anyone else have dwarves that feel no pain?

thats really not that bad a looking injury - just a largeish cut. no guts are popping out, and no bits are missing. check the heath screen for that dwarf, and check the relvant info on any diagnosis, treatment or outstanding problems...

anyway, why wrestlers? even traning weapons would be better...

Skin, fat, tissue and muscle were all torn through. And her lower body went from red to yellow. I think I have a T-1000.

Maybe fracturing a stomach is like hemorrhaging?

A dorf made of liquid metal seems very fitting

And maybe dwarven stomachs menace with bone spikes?

No insides are hanging out; it's just a huge cut.

But yes, dwarves are INSANE

dwarves are indeed insane.
On the other end of the scale, in 40d, my godlike warrior took on a whole seige by her self. (her skills were greqate, but cos 40d her equiptment was more or less random)
only lasting injury a cut on her thumb, which had healed before she got back inside.

this was 40d where it was easy to raise stamina to godlike leval.

I don't know, I wish Toady would make a [CAN_STRANGLE] tag for certain things though.

Well, she is "quite durable".

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
