frogglebunwich Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The situation was that Wilson was away from the main base fighting spiders, he got the worst of two nests close to each other with two queens and a bunch of spiders and only just survived with very low health at 17, picked up monster meat (no glands) and with night approaching gave one monster meat to a pig for a body guard and then decided discretion > valour and went back to base via a wormhole and trekked rapidly down a road leaving the pig behind. At base after nightfall he was making froggle bunwiches in the crockpot to heal himself due to having a few spare cooked frogslegs, out of the darkness the figure of Marcus the pig appeared and for no known reason assaulted Wilson and killed him. Wilson ressurrected at a nearby touchstone at dawn and returned to find Marcus curled up and asleep among his belongings, after picking these up it was evident that the remaining monster meat and a few frogs legs were missing, Marcus woke up and ran away. My question is this, why did Marcus attack Wilson. Was it a bug or is it a mechanic, if a mechanic, what does it represent ? Is it greed for monster meat, resent for being abandoned or technophobia at being close to the science and alchemy machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LineLiar Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 What a great story. I assume it's a bug, but it might also be because you gave him monster meat? You know, monster meat isn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazmatic Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ah, this could use a little poem... I'll give you a poem instead of a song,you leaving your friend behind is where it went wrong.You provided him food,but it didn't do no good.He ate three more monster meat in just a flash,that's when he decided that you will go smash... Aka he turned into a werepig because of the monster meat he ate, and due to that becomes agressive to anything and anyone, including you... Which also explains why you found no food left on the "crime scene", werepigs will eat any edible they come across when they're not busy trying to kill you. Oh, and pigmen also turn into werepigs during full moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer320 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The poem was great! But if Marcus had turned into a werepig, he would no longer be Marcus. And froggle would have noticed a werepig coming at him and be prepared for a battle, at least I hoped he would. Werepigs don't look like normal pigs, afterall.

frogglebunwich Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thanks for contributing a remarkably rhymey poem spazmatic, its... a work of art? It was night-dark so I am still not sure if he was a werepig, I could only see by fire light as he emerged from the shadows, he didnt have the tufty ears but he did look menacingly fighty and buffed.

frogglebunwich Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 It happened again, day 89, the first game I had survived winter having amassed the necessary knowhow through 24 games which all ended with Wilsons ignominious demise, luckily I had a couple of touch stones touched so I am still playing that game. I am pretty sure it was a werepig now due to the timing of the deaths day 9 and 89, fullmoon. In the pale light of the size 1 campfire and torch they did not look like the image above. Perhaps because that is the werepig about to strike from the front, whereas from the side and bustling along they dont have such prominent tufts and tusks.
