Does it check for dead ones? Bleeding creatures aren't always alive.

I suppose the question is whether bolts actually go through intervening targets or if they can only hit what they were aimed at...

A log is pretty big...
Your general point is sound, though.

"I also believe self-sufficiency would be a good idea, but could we not also send some people to the mine as well? I would have gone in my youth...I suppose for similar reasons to why I eventually came here.
I would be willing to contribute to the mine. If we all contribute equal shares to build the mine from our own pockets, we could take 25 or 30% of the mine's profits and split them up evenly without being seen as rude, no? That offer should appeal to the more mercantile of you.
I do not like the idea of all the refugees being indebted to one of us. Let us divide the responsibilities among ourselves."

Name: Jeremiah Douglass
Description: 5'8", wiry. Blonde hair, gray eyes
Past: Jeremiah came from a religious family, 11th of 13 kids. He grew up in want, if not in poverty. When the chance to join the army, he jumped at it, tested well, and joined a special forces group. He's never looked back and tries not to think about his past.

If mundane methods of healing were tossed out in favor of easy magical healing, doctors would be the new cheese makers and the game would lose some of its grittiness." Oh, Urist lost an arm? Send him to Cog McCleric, he'll be fighting greenskins in five minutes!"

Before using Pokemon moves that sound like real things, can you explain that they're PokeMoves?

"Docks? We're in a forest! How many ships will come here? Rafts, perhaps, but not enough to justify a dock when we need farms and orchards!
We need to put the refugees to work. Give each an acre, give them seed, make sure they can live."
Fenix, we can't expect to afford to import food at this time. It's too expensive. We've all of us--all four of our families-we all have lots of crops. Let each family make its own homestead, we'll make sure they don't starve and give them a tent. When everyone's on their feet, we'll ship food to the starving rest of the kingdom and use that money to make sure everyone has housing. Fair?"

It would suffer an emotional breakdown. Even if not programmed in a way that would let it do so. Even if it had no emotions.

Hold on, Fenix. The good of the town comes before we worry about our own properties. We need to assess what we have and what we need.
What we need, for starters, is a large orchard and plenty of farms. If we can export food while the price is still high, Cairnwood Crossing could be the richest town in the region. We can't do that if 20% of our labor is working on building things for you, 20% for me, 20% for Kappel, get cetera. For now, I think we need to get farms organized and get silviculture active for WHEN we run out f forest.

Yes, because Dwarf Fortress is not the most complicated game ever designed by humankind.
