So there I was, unable to find shelter before the night hit, so of course bogeymen were chasing me. Many. I knew I didn't stand a chance what with my character just starting off, so I began running.

And running. More running. Every once in a while when a bogeyman caught up I'd attack once to knock him over, so I could continue running. I swear I went about a quarter to a third of the world away (it's a pocket world), then I got an announcement.



YES! "Maybe", I thought, "just maybe, now I have a chance at fighting these fools off." So I begin my attack. This is what ensued.




To sum it up, I stabbed FIVE bogeymen IN HALF. I hadn't killed anything else with this character, and he was hero, not demi-god.
I don't mean to sound braggy, but I just wanted to share my happiness. I love this game so much

Also, this is my first post. I've been here for a while, just never felt like piping up.

Its little moments like that that make DF such an enduring bit of entertainment.

Awesome trance is awesome. When my character get into a trance I always throw myself on the enemies to inflict huge amount of decapitations.

Apparently creatures can't get enough of dying from me. After that big battle I decided to go to sleep since I was sure bogeymen wouldn't attack again. I was woken up by a pack of 4 dingos so I promptly laid a beat down on them. I hadn't realized my trance ended, but it didn't matter.

Basically what I did was wait for them to approach me. The first dingo that made it to me had its paw lopped off, and so it passed out from pain. The next one to arrive got its upper body slashed, and it passed out right next to its buddy. By then I was surrounded, so I moved a bit over and killed the other two with a couple slashes and stabs. I then walked over to the passed out dingos and stomped their heads.

I sure hope this adventurer survives for me to retire him. I want to read his legends entry and have him appear in fortress mode

EDIT: Just remembered you can butcher animals. I'm now enjoying dingo roast (well, heated dingo meat) seated by my campfire. After this maybe I can get some sleep.

EDIT AGAIN: More to add to the kill count. Tried to take a nap again, but two dingos and two enraged badgers came after me. My dwarf once again entered a trance, and when the first dingo arrived, I stabbed and decapitated it. The other dingo ran away. Then I chopped both badgers in half. I'll never need to find food again.

Urist McMartialTrance cancels Sleep: needs more Dead Foes.
