Larian Studios Forums General Chat Mouse avoids mousetraps but dies of spoiled cheese

And that makes it right?

uh, we're suppoused to give it up? woops, I guess God's mad at me

Only for those who care.

P.S. I'm not anti-religous and apologise if I offend anyone with my apathy and ignorance.

I did most of the things god forbid us to do, and still no lightning that strucks me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Aye...second that lad! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe this mouse is the choosen one, and had the skill to scape from traps, but don't have enough points in intelligence to don't eat the cheese. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


Is a apprentice mouse, low lvl. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

We have a mouse at work. It's been eating the jelly snakes. If the rat-bait doesn't kill it, the mal-nutrition will. I'm trying to convince them to let me bring my cat for the day.

the jelly snakes? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
like those thingies in a candy machine?
damm that mouse even gets away with the candy without paying!

does it have a level 5 lockpick skill or something ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
the path of the "cheese" is a dark one indeed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Right food, wrong storage. They come in big plastic wrapped boxes. All of our stuff just sits on the shelf. We have resealable boxes now. It might stop them going stale too.

It seems to have Climb (5) as the bookcase is very smooth. It also seems to have Poo (5)... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

that could probably easily be counter-acted by a RAID(5) poison cloud <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

We tried that. They're also charmed with several very strong Resist Poison charms. They eat the rat-bait and wanter off. There's more missing every day. I just hope they don't have Evade Traps. They'd only need level 1 for our dodgy Deadly Gifts.

Here's some interesting ratsh#t......! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

That's kinda silly - i though Alberta didn't have rats because the Mountaains kept them on the other side! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Woo hoo!!!! I live probably (maybe) the only place in the world with out rats...
Good ol' Alberta. (Do i sound like a hick or what???? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

to bad those grizzly bears keep on knocking on your door <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Why would you wanna kill those cute little creatures.
They're so funny.
I've had all kinds of little creatures here.
Hamsters, mice, guinea-piggies, (white) rats,...
One of the hamsters and one of the rats (there's always a "leader") ware more efective than a guard dog.
They liked to sit on my shoulder and when someone came (to) close they would stand up, show their teeth and make a warning sound.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> pretty silly pets. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But I know they can be a pest. I been involved in mice and rat hunts too.
Specially what ppl call muskusrat in Belgium.
They have no real enemy in the wild in Belgium becouse they're originally american. They "hitched a ride" on boats.
They weaken riverbanks with their tunnels and can destroy local fauna and flora. They're really tough too.
If they get caught in a trap they chew off their own paw or tail to break free again. Or when you corner them, they jump up to your chest or throat to bite you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

A good example of what rats can do:

I remember a farmer who was breeding bunnies on the side. More fun and hobby than for profit. Like more ppl do.
He had 5 or so big wooden cages in a corner on a grass field behind his stables. And like it often is with rabbits, some of them had young ones. There must have been 60 or so rabbits in the cages.
Not so far from there, there was a dunghill.
One morning he walks up to the cages and sees all the youngsters are gone. And the mature rabbits are all sitting in the corners of the cages, trembling like leaves.
He calls a neighbour, they clean out the cages and discover nothing. Apart from some very tiny holes in the bottom of the cages. But young bunnies usally don't wonder off without mommie and the wholes ware to small anyway.
So the disapearing of the rabbits became a big mistery.
By noon the story was all over the (little) village.
In the afternoon the farmer decides he should do something about the dunhill.
He pushes his hayfork into it, hears this awfull sound, pulls it back... and there's a rat on one of the teeth.
He drops the hayfork, runs out to the street, calls neighbours (some of them called us on the phone),...
When we arrie there there ware already like 10 ppl with hayforks, spades, guns,...
They start to dig in the dunhill... It was a real battlefield. Sometimes when someone pulled a hayfork back out of the dunhill there was a rat on all 3 f the teeth.
Rats that tried to run away got shot or hit with spades.
I don't really remember how many we killed but I know it was over 50. When ppl digged deeper in the dunhill they found the boddies/remains of a lot of young bunnies.

I also saw a cat going after a muskusrat on another farm once.
A second rat shows up... and they team up together to attack the cat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
The cat had to run for her life.

Rats are very interesting creatures. More intelligent than most humans. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
There's a great book about life as a rat by the polish writer Andrzej Zaniewski. The book is simply called RAT.
I can recommend it to everyone. It's entertaining and intriging, and you also pick up a lot of facts about rats.

don't kill the mice. you can buy live traps (which i find to be more effective) and then take them somewhere far away from your house to let them go again....
poor little mice...
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

agreed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

But try to tell that to most ppl.
Specially to a small old fashioned community...

this be the "RaT" Book... RaT....


i never meant for you to kill the poor little long-tailed rodents,
i meant for them to go through the "rat re-location program"...
so it can be re-located to a different part of the country,
and given a new identity... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
...to live the rest of it's life in peace <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I don't want to kill the mouse(s), but upper management and popular vote have the final say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

We're getting a rat. We have the cage and everything, now we're just waiting for the rat to be old enough. I'm sure Gwen and Litha, the cats, won't mind.

Yes, it is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
