New here, wanted to share a funny moment. RimWorld

So, I was just casually building stuff and trying to survive, when another group of raiders came.

A while before that I found an abandoned ancient building, where I found 2 artefacts that drive all animals in the area crazy. (forgot the exact item name)

I send my colonists to my refrigerator room (lol, so they wouldn't starve while the madness went on, had to save and load the game a few times to get this working smooth), and hauled one of those artefacts there. Now that my colonists were safe behind steel walls and doors, I activated the artefact.

Everything went as planned, the animals wrecked the raiders in a matter of seconds, so it was just chillin' and wait until the animals calmed down.

Little did I know, that a poor friendly trade convoy was heading my way. (the notification came after the activation, and it didn't happen in the previous attempts)

They were all happy in the rain walking to my settlement to make some silver, until a horde of animals screwed them up badly.

Now 2 poor salesman were laying on the ground, crippled and in terrible pain, and I could only watch from my safe refrigerator. Their friends and pets were dead.

I kind of felt sorry for them, but they were just at the wrong place at a wrong time.

The fun didn't end here though; one of my best guys went full berserk and ran outside starting to shoot at a cobra, he survived though, it was a miracle.

I was thinking of nicknaming the refrigerator 'The hole', as another good colonist lost his mind and started to attack his fellow people.

When the animals finally came back to their natural peace, I started rescuing the fallen people. Easier said than done, though.

While rescuing the first colonist, the savoir collapsed due to extreme exhaustion. The other person left who did not die or loose his mind, started to shoot the 2 mad animals left. Of which one was one of those into fire-bursting llama thingies. He also got knocked out.

If this is not cruel enough for you yet, they started to get infected one by one, while slowly bleeding out.

So, as a new player, yet I'll give this tip: Do not use weird artefacts in an attempt to save your colony, things may go from bad to extreme terrible.

To cheer you up after this sad story; I loaded the save before the raid started, and successfully repelled the raiders by killing one of them, and then the other one started to run away.
