Funny story
« on: April 24, 2009, 02:29:15 am »

Sparring is quite the sport in my fortress, all of my soldiers do it. They all started sparring at the same time, so their skill grew with each other.

Unfortunately, there were still several minor injuries (broken bones).

While looking for replacements for these limp noodles, I accidentally drafted my legendary miner with crazy stats.

He went to spar with one of the dwarfs, and in one punch, killed him.

His corpse is still there to this day.

In my fortress, I added a pair of migrants to my military to bolster my current champion wrestlers.

They wandered over to the barracks to begin sparring, and as soon as they entered the room one of my champions picked up both of them and threw them at the barracks wall. The second one survived with minor bruises, while the first migrant exploded on impact and managed to cover an impressive area of the barracks floor.

I assume it was some kind of initiation hazing for new recruits, and Urist McBlastRadius didn't make the cut.

I am pretty sure that your noob dwarf -who was killed- haven't found that deadly punch very funny.  ;D

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.

Sparring injuries = hilarity. I've been losing someone every year or two to sparring injuries.
Plus a few a year to cave-in accidents. My latest casualty got dusted into a stonefall trap.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

My Artifact Adamantine Axe wielding Champion lost his only war dog and was feeling unhappy, so I took him off duty. Unfortunately, I just drafted 2 recruits to spar with axes. The barracks needed a new paint job. My Champion felt better later though.
