0010322: Troop of troglodytes spawned in single open space tile
A troop of troglodytes spawned in the caverns in a single open space tile, which is above water and next to tree twigs. Are now stuck there. Shooting with marksdorfs dropped the one being shot at to the water below. I'm fairly certain they spawned during gameplay because IIRC that part of the caverns has been visible for quite some time, and I check the 'other units' regularly as the local fauna can cause a lot of fun.
Nothing special in errorlog.txt

Save available (prior to shooting with marksdorfs):

Troglodytes (and other cavern critters) are well known for climbing into ridiculous positions and getting stuck. Your troglodytes are holding onto the wall due north, and likely entered the map on the walkable branches at the map's edge a few tiles to the southwest.
