I submitted this as a bug, but am listing my example here for completeness sake.

> throw

< Driving in with naturally fluid movements, you throw a balanced haledroth boko at a giant mechanical mouse. A giant mechanical mouse attempts to evade, not quite escaping the blast.
The boko lands a light hit to the mouse's back.

The haledroth boko lodges itself savagely into the mechanical mouse!
[You're nimbly balanced and overwhelming opponent.]
[Roundtime 3 sec.]

I think maybe they weren't expecting it to lodge? Or perhaps its the savage lodge from a light hit? Both look normal to me since it has a 1 in the piercing stat so lodging is going to happen unless its lobbed and I'm prett sure the damage message doesn't affect how lodged something gets unless it's actually a no damage hit like grazing in which case it wont lodge at all.

Ah, I overlooked the 1/28 puncture and wasn't expecting a blunt to lodge. My mistake. Thank you for looking into it all the same.

If you don't want it to lodge, lob it
