Will you try this again? It was truly incredible! Perhaps create several fortress for you to raid, maybe give a save file for people to build fortresses in. They could have things like drainage levers to allow you to access armories full of awesome weapons. I think that captured creatures die upon abandoning the fortress, so you couldn't have a dragon chained to the entrance of 'The Vault'.

Quest to visit all 4 corners of the world in Adventure Mode.
Restrictions: No starting skills, no fast traveling, no sneaking, not allowed to be Elf, no viewing large jpg'ed world map.
Mangling Rule: If a body part is mangled it is to remain mangled for 20 days at which point I'm allowed to fast travel in an undesirable direction until it heals.

Anoth Sugbude, Human Male.

13th of Granite, 300.
I've woken up in the middle of a forest completely naked, maybe I was drinking too much last night.  Although it's more plausible that I was mugged and dropped off in the wild to die.  Once I regained my composure I started looking around.   There was an elf nearby, I asked him for directions and then headed South back to town.  An hour later I spotted a river, although it assures me fresh water I don't know how to swim and thus: Is preventing me from getting home.  Keeping my distance from the hippos, I start wandering up stream, looking for a bridge.  I look up at the sun to check the time.  Although the sun was originally low in the Western sky, now it's high.  Nearby a bird chirps "It's noon." um. . . Thanks bird. . . if I - really have - been mugged the must of hit me on the head HARD.

The river eventually becomes shallow enough for me to wade through and I continue south.  Exiting the forest I can see for miles.

The Town Frostyrace lies ahead.  The people there will not give through charity, even to someone in need such as myself.  I hunted down a groundhog and choked it to death so I have something to trade when I get there tomorrow.  I sleep in a depression in the ground to hide my presence.

14th of Granite, 300.
I wake up to find myself extremely hungry and dehydrated.  Looking around carefully I spotted a beetle and popped it into my mouth for protein, then washed it down with some stagnant water.  I arrived in town about an hour later and started haggling with the storeowner.
   "Want to buy this groundhog?"  I ask.
   "No, I have no use for it!"
   "But it's a whole groundhog! The meats good!"
   "I don't care, I won't buy it."
I drop the groundhog to ooze onto his nice Acacia Log Floor.
   "I'll be right back" I state.
I go outside and grab two handfulls of dirt.
   "Do you want to buy this dirt?"
   "Absolutely!"  He replies cheerfully
He hands me a silver coin and a bronze coin.
   "um, thanks.  How much for that backpack?" I inquire.
   "40 Gold pieces"
   "ok. . . I'll go get you some more dirt"
I go and grab a hell of alot more dirt and sell it.
   "Now can I buy the backpack?"  I ask again.
   "No, you don't have enough money."  He states with a straight face.
   "But, all the moneys right there on that table!!"  I start getting angry.
   "Yes, but it's on MY table"
   "So?!"
   "You're not holding it!"
   "I don't have anything to hold it with!"
    "It needs to be on your body sir."
   "So if I'm carrying it I can buy the backpack?"
   "That's correct sir"
I pickup the backpack and stick all the gold in it.
   "Now can I buy this backpack?"
   "No, the money is in MY backpack"
   "But I'm PAYING for it!"
   "I'm sorry sir, thats just not how things work around here."  He folds his arms.
I walk out of the store with his backpack and my money.
   "Stop!  Thief Thief!"  He yells.
I walk across the street and put on a full suit of iron armor that doesn't belong to me and walk outside again as the store owner franticly points at me yelling "Thief" The towns Elite Bowman walks by, I wave at him in a friendly way, he smiles and waves back.  The town guard however, had a different mindset, when I waved at her she pulled out her war hammer and started chasing me, I started running.  However my platemail was too heavy and was slowing me down.  I franticly ripped it off my body and kept running.  Unfortunately:
