Well I didn't take a screen of it, I can find the log info if you want


EDIT: In the logs, it shows...


The Crossbowman loses hold of the copper crossbow.

Then after a sting to the face...

The Crossbowman loses hold of the silver bolts [21].

Then a brief period of scrabbling, then...

The flying sliver bolt strikes you in the head, tearing the muscle, fracturing the skull and tearing the brain!
You have been knocked unconscious!
You have been shot and killed.

Could you please cut-and-paste the relevant log text directly? AFAIK, it would grab the quiver on the archer, not the bolts. I'm not disputing that GDS can use crossbows.

Gee, I havent been to the Bay12 forums in months! Gee, I can't wait to see what new challenges have been added in that update I heard about. I wonder if the enemies have any new tricks up their sleeves? I mean, those boogeymen weren't that tough, I doubt anything can threaten an adventurer now! Anyway, off to the Adventure mode forums!

That's the point, it wouldn't be as fun to crush their souls if they didn't have souls to begin with.

Just did the same thing, and it's awesome. Indeed, GDS can fire crossbows, parry blows, stab you with bolts, smash you with crossbows...

Visibly however, they cannot parry bolts even with 2 shields equipped.

So...

GDS = Adventurer?

You will need an [INTELLIGENT] tag for this. Preferably.

Oh and hell yes.

The GDS is obviously already suited for adventuring, even without modifications to its racial files. DF has the greatest bugs.

Scorpions are not bugs, neither are they insects like the description says.

Oh you silly people :P of course they're not bugs.

I've been working on a heavy crossbow and heavy bolts mod specifically for GDS use ever since I saw this.

Interestingly enough he had no quiver, along with another bowman. 2 of them just holding their ammo... oO

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...
