0000464: Dwarf killed 10z levels away
Oddom Kattenlibash (corpse is in the upper left part of the gem stockpile on lvl 160) was suddenly and violently struck down for no apparent reason. Nobody nearby seems to have any kills, so I kinda dismissed it for the time being. Then a few seconds later a recruit is killed down in level 150, Eral Bertangath (Corpse is on the bed that designates the barracks). His murderer is nearby, Lolor Fikodavéd, who was tantruming.

However, Lolor has both kills on his consience, and thus he has apparently killed Oddom from 10z levels away. The stockpiles had nothing nearby of intrest for Lolor, or path through there, even if he could do so instantly. Combat reports tell that Lolor struck Oddom once and severed his head with his axe.

Here is a link to the save http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1995 [^]
Save file is paused straight after the second murder. and both murders were on the same date.
Could be related to the war dog death seen here http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1124805;topicseen#msg1124805 [^]

Possibly another quirk of the current pathing system?
