 Olm men may launch [[ambush|group attacks]] on your fort. When this happens, all tribesmen on the map will become hostile, even if they were peaceful minutes prior to the invasion. They may arrive with [[pet]]s and [[mount]]s, some of which will be able to fly or easily catch up to your fleeing civilians. These invaders, unlike their above-ground counterparts, will not leave after some time has passed, even if your fort is completely sealed off from the caverns, nor will they prevent migrants, caravans or other invaders from arriving; including more waves of olm men. Because of this, several unchallenged assaults from them can quickly cause your game's FPS to drop to single-digit levels, thus making your fort completely unplayable.
-Olm men are, predictably, amphibious, meaning that they can swim through your reservoirs in order to get through your defenses, or will lie in wait to ambush your [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]], so plan your defenses accordingly.
+Olm men are, predictably, amphibious, meaning that they can swim through your reservoirs in order to get through your defenses, or will lie in wait to ambush your [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]], so plan your defenses accordingly. Fortunately, it turns out that being in the water washes any [[blowdart]]s clean of their venom, meaning that [[blowgunner]]s that travel aquatically will have their threat level minimized.
 Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] olm men for their ''gills''.
