| Summary | 0009547: Dwarf falling on top of archery target slams into it repeatedly, but never lands | ||||
| Description | I had a dwarf fall off a hillside above an archery target (he got knocked over by a charging beak Dog). So far the combat log has had 28 repetitions of "The militia captain slams into an obstacle!" and about 3 times as many "The Beak Dog misses the militia captain!". I can't check his v->w wounds page, since he's in flight, but by usung u->v->h to look at his health, he doesn't appear to have any damage to report, nor does he need diagnosing. So I think he's not actually getting damaged by all the slamming. But it doesn't look like he's ever going to actually land, and he seems to be unhittable. He's also had a veritable storm of bolts/arrows fired past him, none of which have even been mentioned in the combat logs. Side view: B@ XXXXXXXA_____ B - Beak Dog @ - Dwarf X - Solid ground A - Archery target _ - Lower ground level I'm not sure if this is really a "Dwarf Mode -- Combat" bug, or something more generic. I rated it as "major", because it currently looks like he will be stuck there forever, possibly with the major part of the siege standing around missing him. I let it go a while after making the copy of the save that I uploaded to dffd, and after a couple of pages of slamming and missing, a few goblins have arrived and they are also missing every attempt. I do see one attack that was blocked by the dwarf's shield, but every other one simply has missed. It's been at least a few hundred misses as I write this. He's only a level 6 dodger, level 5 shield user, and level 4 armor user, so there's no way he's really avoided that many attacks. But I won't be offended if you decide this isn't major. :) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Get a dwarf knocked off a hillside over an archery target? Or just load the save I put on dffd (see Additional information). | ||||
| Additional Information | I've uploaded the save to http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11757 The dwarf in question is Mosus Öntakiden. If you hit 'k', F1, <, Uparrow 8 times, left arrow 2 times, the cursor will be on him. | ||||

Well, after about 6 pages of him slamming into an obstacle and being missed by various beak dogs and goblins, one goblin managed to spear him in the arm, fracturing the bone and causing him to give in to pain. So he wasn't completely invulnerable. Then there were about 12 pages of goblins and beak dogs hitting/biting him in the head, and being deflected by his *steel helm*, but eventually a goblin with a copper hammer managed to crush his skull. But even after dying, he continues to generate "slams into an obstacle!" reports in the combat log. I suspect he will do so until the siege is over and I get someone out there to deconstruct the archery target. |

It's too bad he doesn't take damage from it. We could have used this as a method of elf torture. |

The siege finally ended. I marked the archery target for removal using q-x. At first nothing happened, then suddenly I got an announcement saying that the hammerdwarf had been found dead, and his body and possessions appeared in the same space as the archery target (which had not yet been removed). I think he fell the moment a dwarf began the removal. I stopped the removal, and now it's telling me that the archery target has been designed and needs masonry. So I think it was slightly deconstructed, which was enough to let the body finish falling into the space. |

BTW, this should probably have its Severity lowered to minor, since the situation can be ended by deconstructing the archery target. I marked it as major when I suspected it was going to be permanent. |

@khearn: Because Toady the One is the only admin around and he goes through these reports in a way he wants, severity field is hardly used here. |
