How to get out of a hole?
« on: April 17, 2011, 04:21:14 pm »
I've just reinstalled DF and decided to try out adventure mode again.  I encountered a kobold wrestler, he attacked me and my Adventurer elected to swan dive into a murky pool.  I'm currently stuck inside of an empty? murky pool and I can't figure out how to get out.

I did manage to get the kobold in after me.  He dived in after I stabbed him in the lower body.

If you've killed all the hostiles in the area, you should be able to fast-travel out.
Taking a nap for an hour may let you sleep-walk out of the pond as well.

Fast-Traveling out worked like a charm once I stabbed the kobold to death.  Thanks a lot.

If the hole is filled with 7/7 water, and you are swimming, and you are strong enough (I think), you can pull yourself out the same way you can throw yourself in: Alt+Move.

I like fortresses because they are still underground.

I think you can only pull yourself out with Novice swimming skill or higher. If you don't have that, then just train it up. It'll boost your attributes too!

That's why I always give my characters swimming skill from the get go... even when I play a Peasant.

To not drown from falling into a pool by dodging you need adequate swimmer. Otherwise your adventurer will drown if he didn't get in the water purposefully.

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.
