I put one of my Elders over to the waterfall to get a drink of water (I thought). As he was walking away, I noticed it said he was about to put out the fire on the firepit. My instinct is to pick him up and not let him do that. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it just one of those strange things these VV's do from time to time? Right now my game is paused. Thanks for your comments.

I never had that happen to me. My chief is always contemplating the tribe or directing work.

Let them do that, u will find something new. Tel us what happned.

In fact, grab a series of villagers, take them over to the waterfall, and let them put out the fire. One villager won't do it with just one bowlful of water.

Oh yey yey yey! I haven't gone back into the game, yet, so I'm in for a surprise! Sorry I forgot to put spoiler in the title. I truly thought he was up to something like "snooping around the alchemy lab". Hee hee. Thanks everybody for your comments.
