Intro text telling me to run and find a vault?
« on: April 24, 2017, 12:12:59 am »
In  my newest adventure, the intro text, which normally talks about "Gathered up your equipment," or stuff about kidnapping or bandits,
was something completely different, telling me to flee and see if I
could convince my friends and family to flee with me.

As if that's not weird enough, the next text box tells  me about how legends tell of a vault with a slab.

I know what its talking about, hell I've even tried (unsuccessfully) to raid the vault and grab the slab.

The weird thing is that its telling me all of this right from the start.

Anyone else get this message? or any other message out of
ordinary?


(edit)
Apparently the vault is already revealed on this world, but this is my firs adventurer, so is it possible someone else found the slab?

Because one of the gods got pissed, literally, and it covered the world in magma. Then another one said "Fuck you, you didn't call me back after our date," and threw water at it.

I've had this happen before as a starting message. The locations of vaults are known to npcs like anything else.

Afaik world gen adventurers don't go into vaults but kobold theives WILL steal trinkets from them. It would be listed in legends mode if the slab was taken since its an artifact. It would be pretty hilarious if the slab was stolen and laying around in a cave somewhere.

I'm just imagining a kobold going about his business while he the power to literally make a demon his slave. :)

If only kobolds could read (or speak properly). Probably using it as a table.

I wonder whether this is going to tie into all the dwarf-mode changes with the next update. Send out a squad to get a slab.

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

Adventurers don't have squads to send, they are squads.
Might get a message about a recently stolen artifact perhaps.

That's pretty cool. I have no way of finding vaults on vanilla.

Try Legends Viewer. Vanilla DF xml export from Legends Mode works just fine.

I fI found a slab lying in a cave, would I be able to use it, assuming I had Reading?
