Steps to reproduce:
1. Be an alien
2. Get bolted to the wall by a powered crossbow bolt
3. Resist to free yourself
4. Find out you still can't move and ghost

Use "yank out object" or "resist" verbs. You have to yank out the object bolt to do anything.

i was under the impression that crossbows were meant to be unattainable unless spawned in by badmins

Spess Mercenaries sometimes spawn with em.

So it must be "yank out object" instead.

try object tab - yank out object, it should work.
because resist verb was never meant for this, it's like, the first time I hear of it being used for pulling out the objects.

[golfer45]

Before using resist verb anytime you move you get the message "The bolt pins you to the wall". Upon resisting you get the message "you start to pull the bolt out this will hurt". Followed by "you have removed the bolt". If resist verb does not work then those messages need to be removed.

This is no longer relevant. It was too OP and has been removed.
