Posted by A Goblin on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I think should be allowed to flee if you somehow find yourself fighting on a sleeping mount. Or perhaps better, not allow yourself to mount a sleeping mount.

If you do want us to be able to mount a sleeping spider/warg, we should not be able to start a fight. If we are attacked, should force a dismount, or wake the mount. Or, at least allow us to flee! I imagine I could have woke the spider but was very confusing and counterintuitive what was happening. (I'm trapped fighting because I'm on a sleeping spider?)

Also, fwiw, overhead from 'an easy kill' is cruel and unusual :)

Log:

A Dark Corridor
The air seems stuffy and you notice a lack of breeze in the stone tunnel.
The sounds of the mountain seem distant. The walls are smooth to the touch,
except for the places where rows of intricate runes have been carved into the
stone. The tunnel has been cut directly into the mountain, sloping slowly
further underground. The dark corridor slopes up slightly to the west, and
deeper into the mountain to the east. To the north is a double door to keep
uninvited intruders from passing by. You can hear the pounding of a blacksmith
along with other sounds echoing loudly from the north.

east west]
A large axe with an opal blade is here.
A giant spider is sleeping here.
A castle guard has been assigned here to guard the king.

Agreed, that's weird.

Now whenever a goblin flees, they'll auto-dismount to do so. Should prevent situations like this.
