Summary0001181: Items from underground cavern scattered on surface
DescriptionIn a human town I found a giant rat leather and a blood thorn spear lying on the ground, not owned by anyone. I'm guessing that some creature in a cavern underneath dropped the items, or got killed, and they scattered onto the surface.

Was the town abandoned or populated?

Populated, the town I started in. Also, they weren't there when I left the town to wander in the wilderness for a bit, and then they were there when I came back.

I've had the same bug.

I think the items are from dead animalmen that got their items scattered across the site. When I found a human dead in a human town all of his stuff was scattered across the site just like when I found the underground objects. When something underground dies the items might still be scattered above the surface.

So, basically what was suggested in the subscription.

Had this happen in an Elven forest retreat - it was rather amusing to see pieces of leather and stacks of preserved meat scattered all over the place.

I don't think I've seen this bug in a while. In fact, I think I only ever saw it that once.

I just encountered this with a shrine in 40.08. I had waited several one hour increments (up to 8, probably 5 or 6) and slept the night right next to the shrine trying to wait for it to stop raining. What I'm seeing is lag and 7 pieces of underground creature leather from my vantage point. I've noticed the lag with abandoned shrines, but haven't seen the leather appear.

I suppose that it's good that it hasn't stopped raining since the titan is a fire spitter.

The DFFD server is giving me an error when I try to upload atm, so I'll have to upload later.

This bug occurred in 40.24 when I reclaimed a fortress that withered before I had a chance to breach the caverns. Animal men weapons and corpses were scattered about, as well as the corpses of various underground creatures.
