I was exploring my newly genned world yesterday, when I came across somthing odd. That somthing being a gigantic raging river with suprisingly straight shorelines. I went to investigate, and came across a strange structure spanning it. My inital thought was that farming had bugged and these humans were trying to farm water. I jumped down into it, as it was only one z-level down. This would prove to be a mistake as water came rushing down the tunnel, and drowned my character.

Today, I went back. With swimming.

Spoiler: You won't believe this. (click to show/hide)

Huh, that's odd.

It's no Spire, but it's odd the world would generate somthing like this. Well, time to take the plunge.

The river is full of carp. Good thing they run like cowards now.

A lot of carp, in fact.

And here we come to the strange structure. I fail to notice the name and go back on land.

About here it hits me: These dumbass peons built a bridge below water level.
The railing is above it though, although that doesn't help much considering the hole in the middle of it. Oddly, the Failbridge has different names both above and below water.

This is just...weird.

The second name is more correct. throw enemies into it, see them washed away! (or drowned)

[Leafsnail]

"The Handy Bridge".  Wow.

I wonder if anyone ever tries to cross it?

RNG generator strikes again! Can't wait to see what other FUN results from Toady_One's coding shenanigans!

"The Handy 'Bridge" of Tempests' is indeed an anomaly. I think it's a bridge that telefragged another bridge during worldgen. That, or the bridge had it out for that other bridge that was there first, snuck up behind it, and drawn and quartered it, and sent it to sleep with the fishes while it casually took it's place. Unfortunately, the one that was there first managed to cripple it before it took it's place.

Adventurers beware of bridges. They're a sneaky bunch. They're a couple classes higher than wagons in size, and possibly devastation, and just a class higher than your run-of-the-mill drawbridge. Be wary of their intentions and their 'placements'. Who knows what their next plan is?

Maybe they were trying to build a dam but just gave up?

[Itnetlolor]

Then they were a bunch of damn fools.

[Aklyon]

Maybe they were trying to reach The Failboat.
