Legends page entries
« on: March 06, 2008, 07:35:00 am »

Most of my characters die after killing no more than one ettin/cyclops/minotaur in a cave, and the minions around it. Fittingly, their descriptions in the legends page are short and boring.
Let's start a thread where people post their successful, funny or otherwise noteworthy legends page entries.

There's this human axe lord who slaughtered three of my triple legendary adventurers in a row, along with a whole lot of other miscellaneous adventurers I send his way. I don't know how to post legend pages though.

Man, that guy pisses me off. He's the only one left of his whole civilization yet he never fails to disembowel the strongest of my warriors.

EDIT: HAH!!! KILLED HIM!

Got a guy with 4 steel shields in each hand and an axe to whack him around.

You can find the legend pages by starting a new game in the world where the adventurer lived, choosing legends, choosing historical figures, hitting up to get to the recent figures and finding your adventurer.

Deon: Pick up a shield and you put it in your backpack, take it out and you hold it in your hand, regardless of whether you have something there already or not. Repeat.

In the now-well-gone-down WAR!!! thread, I described a full-scale assault of humans on a darkelven settlement.

The legends entry for the settlement's spearmaster was quite long, because he nailed 52 people before I managed to get to him, and a few more while we were fighting.

I managed to get an adventurer up to a 27 page long legends screen by slaughtering nearly an entire kingdom(it was a small kingdom) With a two handed sword and an iron serrated disc from a abandoned fort.

My sig is a particularly noteworthy excerpt from those adventures.

EDIT: The killing spree was started by accident by launching a camel of all things into the mayor.  
It ended when I wandered to the next kingdom over and took a quest to kill an ettin and died to a GCS.  The fight was epic, I dodged the first webbing spray, my disc flew and hit with precision sticking in the spider, but it did not kill it.  I charged in with the two handed sword, parrying a countering every move the spider made...then my sword got stuck and I lost it.  In my attempt to back away to let it bleed to death from the mortal disc wound it webbed me and ripped me apart...then died one second later.

Should've thrown him instead.  Take-downs are practically useless, since the enemy can get back up right after.  Throw someone, and they'll stay down longer.  I think they even get stunned, but I'm not sure.

But I'm not sure you can even do that when grabbibg with a weapon...

Yeah, throws stun your enemy. But you can't throw when holding on his weapon. And if I let go of his (her?) weapon, this happens:

code:

The human Axe Lord hacks at You in the upper body from behind with her *Iron battle axe*ッ・
It is cloven asunder!
You are propelled away by the force of the blow!
You slam into an obstacle!
You have been struck down.

code:

The human Axe Lord hacks at You in the upper body with her *Iron battle axe*ッ・
It is cut!
The human Axe Lord hacks at You in the lower body with her *Iron battle axe*ッ・
It is broken!
You feel sick!
Your entrails shoot out through the wound!
Your stomach has been broken!
Your pancreas has been badly cut!
Your spleen has been broken!

Insta kill!

Put levels in wrestling, travel light to keep your speed up, then grab the axe with a hand and try to gain possession of it (shift-I).

Then break all shoulders, knees, elbows, hips, wrists and ankles.  Then gouge eyes and strangle to death.

That should do it.

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.
