Quest from Warlord to kill member of town?
« on: November 02, 2010, 04:00:50 am »

I just got a quest from a Warlord (playing .12) to kill Xun the horse fiend.

I had previously spoken to Xun horse fiend, he is a law-giver (whatever that means).

My quest map pointed to the town and to the same location where I found Xun.  When I attacked him all the town banded together and killed me before I could move again.

What's up with that?

Politics, I reckon. Obviously the Warlord wanted to be rid of Xun, for whatever reason, but couldn't just go murdering him himself. So he figured, he'd send some wandering adventure to do his dirty work, and if they died horribly? Well, no matter to mister Warlord. No one would ever know...

...Well, that's just what I think. He probably just had a grudge against Xun, I've seen that before with my dwarves in fortress mode. :)

Nice rationalization, but it's actually a glitch with how dæmons rise to power.

Another question, since Xun killed 3 of my (would be) heroes I decided to start anew.

This time I got a mission to kill Rishetha the lizard devil. She was located in a town a days walk from where I started.
Now I've been through the entire town at least three times, and there is no Rishetha monster in this town...

How do you people find your targets? The TSK locator on the compass is useless when you are inside the town.

Stonesense will mostly satisfy your radar needs...it works on Adventure mode & helps a lot in locating targets in towns, dark towers or underground caves!

But you get elven bones that you can throw at other elves!

See how it all ties together?

I once flung a migrant off a bridge. He collided with the brook cliff and died.
A year later, my legendary engraver engraved him colliding with an obstacle and dying.

Elven bones are useless, too brittle. Why would someone want bones that would snap under the swing of a single war-hammer?
It's like giving a dog a very thin layered bone, so when it goes to gnaw on it in turns to dust.

Thank you, that helped... but it turns out that this Lizard Devil is also the ruler of the town/nation/whatever... I'm going to give up playing adventure DF all together now and wait for a new fixed version...

But the FUN thing to do is to grab a severed elf leg and an armory of fluffy wamblers and then go in all slashy slashy and wambly wambly  :P

Just so long as you're not under the mistaken impression that "demonic overlord" is something that needs "fixing."  There have been mentions of having civilization rulers follow more complex code (based on motivations and such), but their existence is not itself a glitch.  And, as you discovered, it can bring great amounts of "fun."

No, it's not fun when the only missions I seem to get is killing the daemon who rules the town/country/whatever. Each time I try to attack them the whole town goes hostile towards me and that's it.  >:(

I'd also like some first-aid skills to cope with injuries (bandages, herbs/moss that stop bleedling, etc.)

theres a crafting mod somewhere in the modding thread, it allows you to create weapons bags and armor, unfortunatly the armor's always too large (a bug i think) but they've also made a custom race that fits it all.
