In the spring I had my Legendary Armorsmith make four iron mail shirts. Two were masterpiece, one was regular, and the other was well-crafted. It is now summer, and upon receiving word that one of my carpenters made a masterpiece wooden shield, I checked my armor bin to find every single iron mail shirt with X's around them, indicating they are "showing signs of wear". The shirts were never worn by anybody.

Can someone explain to me what happened?

I checked through the planned features list, and I didn't see this. Very sorry if I missed it and I'm just re-stating something they're already planning on doing, but here it is:

One scenario your adventurer can start off as is as an assasin, hitman, whatever you want to call it. You can take jobs for criminal organizations, monarchs, those with special interests in the government, wealthy citizens, really anyone with money that wants someone else dead. The idea would be to kill that person quickly and discreetly and get out of the area quickly so as to avoid getting caught.

ALSO: Monster Hunter profession

You would be given missions to kill a cyclops, titan, colossus, etc, with the added requirement to bring back some part of its body (usually the head) as proof that you killed it in order to claim a reward.

(Unfortunately I haven't taken any screenshots yet, so no pictures of the events that happened as of yet)

Eric Veludil, Swordsdwarf

World: Strasp Ustra, the Planet of Forever

     Started up another new world, hoping to become a Dwarven beast slayer. Starting off in the underground caverns of a Dwarven mountain hall has already provided tons of action. First, I saw a cave crocodile tear open the head of a useless axedwarf who got himself caught in spider webs. I barely killed the croc in time to save the axedwarf. His head was cut open, but the bleeding stopped and there was no further damage, so i figured leaving him there would be fine. Travelling further down the hall, I found a Macedwarf and a Hammerdwarf.

     I also found something odd. A swarm of Troglodytes were rushing in our direction. But they weren't attacking. They were running from something. Many were already injured in one way or another. After working with the two other dwarves to kill the troglodytes, I proceeded further down the hall to find a giant cave toad next to a dead troglodyte. That's what they were running from.

     The hammerdwarf is Armok-knows-where, leaving only me and the Macedwarf to deal with it. The fight was going well at first. The macedwarf got multiple good hits on the toad but it didn't look like his bronze mace was strong enough to break its bones. It started going wrong when the toad charged and knocked over the macedwarf. It then bit and ripped his right foot off. Then it bit his mace arm and collapsed it by shaking it around a lot.

(If you're wondering why I haven't helped yet, it's because that dwarf has a steel shield and I wanted him to die so I could get it)

(Further updates will have screenshots in them)


EDIT: Turns out the ill-fated Macedwarf is actually a girl

I'm still fairly new to this game, so any help would be appreciated.

I found a lair while adventuring in a new world I created. I went in to explore, and all I found was a peasant. Just this one guy. There's nothing else in there. I asked him about his profession and he said he used to be a ranger.

What is he doing down here?
