Boom. Cephalothoraxshot.
« on: April 07, 2011, 07:20:59 am »
I am intrigued. One of my hunters has seen fit to go hunting in the caverns. Perfectly reasonable, since the most dangerous thing in there is only a GIANT CAVE SPIDER.

I wished to capture this magnificent beast, and lock it behind some fortifications to produce a silk farm. This was met with failure due to success.

I believe there was a saying at one point? "If it bleeds and it isn't a Giant Cave Spider, crossbows can kill it."

Take a guess as to what happened.

My hunter shot it. Once. With a no quality iron bolt. This shot was fortunate enough to strike the Giant Cave Spider in the Cephalothorax, tearing the muscle and tearing the brain.

So, yeah. Decide for yourself whether this was lucky or unlucky.

Depends on how much you love that little hunter, and how much you wanted that silk =D

Or perhaps you're just sadistic and enjoy slow-cooking your goblins/kittens/nobles.

The first time I ever had a Dragon show up this EXACT same thing happened.

Except it was with a single man militia squad I was trying to use to lure the dragon to a cage.

I had a dungeon master and everything  :'(

"If it bleeds and it isn't a Giant Cave Spider, crossbows can kill it."

A and B => C
The saying is only violated if there is something that bleeds, isnt GCS and crossbow cant kill it.

Don't ordinary cave spiders usually show up in the same biome as their larger relatives?

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

True - implications are only false when the first part is true and the second false. No other way to do so.

...so, can I have the ant brain?

Giant badgers are cruel saddistic balls of fur and hate. Did anyone know they could paint a wall with a single dwarven baby?.... You know what, I made the Giant badgers sound like sane DF players.

Sorry, incorrect. This is DF. There is no logic, only "badger".

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

Sin is a joke compared to Lavos. Sin just flopped around and blew a couple of towns. Lavos exterminated the entire face of the earth and tore apart the fabric of space and time by simply existing.

Maybe what I said about the badgers being voluntary-exposure only should have remained unspoken...

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
