I am being attacked by a glacier.
« on: March 25, 2013, 06:50:28 pm »

So I'm currently in control of a dwarven demi-god, casually walking across a frozen ocean to reach the other side, and then this happens.

That solid wall of ice wasn't there when I was walking past there,as you can tell from the past line of sight left over in the top right.
This has actually happened three times now, and I feel like the glacier is following me, and about to consume me.

Has this happened to anyone before? Based on the square shape they always have, I'm sure it has something to do with the region boundaries, and that fact that I'm walking through in mid-summer, when this part of the ocean starts to thaw out.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

After walking only a slight way furthe, I came across a new wall that was blocking my path.

I saw the vertical line going down the center of it, and decided that it might be a way to walk inbetween them.
I tried, and after stepping in the crack, I suddenly fell a very long distance.

EDIT:Well, after trying to swim my way up for air, and falling unconscience multiple times underwater, I finally drowned.

Today's lesson, don't try to step inbetween two glaciers.

An even more horrifying death awaits if you try to sleep while the glaciers are stalking you.

Ah, yes, I thought something was amiss. Now I see. There's not enough terrible things in the lakes.

This is a known bug, although I've never had it happen.

There's a reason I stick to the tropics. The glaciers can't reach you there! :paranoid:

You know how they say bogeymen won't go near the oceans?

This is why.

If I didn't have an awesome quote in my sig already, this would go there.
