Jacquerel bcadead566 Chasm Fishing (#69252)
Adds the capability of fishing in chasms.
Chasms contain Chasm Chrabs, which are cute little crustaceans you can eat or put in an aquarium.
More importantly, chasms contain everything which has ever fallen into a chasm.
Falling into a chasm is no longer instant permanent round removal... as long as someone is willing to do some fishing, which means your chances of return haven't necessarily increased that much.

Potential rescuers (or people lamenting about how they dropped their necropolis chest into a hole) should also beware, chasm crabs are actually young Lobstrosities and there's a rare but not insubstantial chance that you'll fish one of them up instead, which won't make it very happy.

If you somehow come back to life inside a chasm (generally only likely by being a changeling or some admin interference, but perhaps you have some kind of implant which does it) you'll climb back out again, so holes are no longer a way of disposing of a changeling for good. You think The Thing would be defeated if you threw it down a hole?
Ethereals can't manage this because falling into a chasm causes too much damage and they simply smash on the way down.

add: You can now fish in chasms, and might manage to catch things that careless miners have dropped in there.
add: If your pole is long enough to reach into a deep hole, you might catch crabs.
balance: Changelings can climb out of chasms if you throw them into one.
imageadd: An icon of a nice little crab, who will grow up into something less nice.
add: You can craft fishing equipment from various lavaland materials, so that Ashwalkers can fish up dead miners before you.
add: You can sometimes find worms while digging up tiles, if appropriate for that material.
