Guard killed my adventurer while being asleep
« on: November 28, 2007, 11:14:00 am »
a bug I encountered in adventure mode

I did what I usually do when I get tired of giant caves

slaughter innocent humans

so I snuck up to a guard who was currently sleeping

he blocked, counterattacked and gave me a red wound on my throat

was bleeding to death, while he was still asleep

this needs to be fixed
while being asleep, it might be reasonable to take ones armor into account, but a sleeping unit should not be able to block, or even to counterattack without being awake because of my attack

Find comfort in that most people of intelligence jeer at the inmost mysteries, if superior minds were ever placed in fullest contact with the secrets preserved by
 ancient and lowly cults, the resultant abnormalities would soon not only wreck the world, but threathen the very ingerity of the cosmos

Hey, if the guard sleepwalks, he might sleepfight, too! XD

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

This is one of the listed bugs, I think. Can't find it under listed bugs, but I saw pretty much the same scenario described, along with "breaking its kneecaps didn't wake it up."

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

Maybe he just has really, really good reflexes?

The mark of a Master fighter: blindfighting.
The mark of a Legendary fighter: sleepfighting.
