wacky occurrence

So today I was playing crawl for the first time in a fortmonth and I'm fighting this hogboglin or whatever and crawl is all, "The hogblin shouts!"

So naturally I'm like whatever

Then the next turn like these other goblins come around the corner and surround me, like they knew I was there or something, what gives

edit: I'm thinking there was a bug because there isn't a way they could have known I was even there, it's not like they could hear me, so I hope the dev team can come into my game and restorem y character

Must be a bug. Try doing 'tt' to shout and try to get the attention of one of the developers.

How are you sure they couldn't hear you? Did you map the whole area they came from immediately before? Do you know how far away they were? I believe combat makes noise, too? Hobgoblin shouting definitely means noise. There's also the outside possibility something invisible was around watching you (including one of them, they sometimes get wands).

I'm also suspecting this may have been Robin's entourage? Were they marked as especially aggressive? They might move faster, or get tossed to the other side of you even...

yeah is the earless hogboglin a new monster in .18 or something cause I remember a roblin from earlier versions who threw roblings at me but the hogblin is a new one
