So, after growing tired of managing my busy little dwarves in what i beleive to be my 5th fortress (the first i tried to do without dwarf therapist and i had nightmares about managing mini ittle midgets in my sleep) and the following were by and by steps in the process (2nd had major tantrum spiral bc i thought they could live off water forever, 3rd was wiped out by a gobin ambush, 4th just wasn't as organized and nice looking as i would like, and teh 5th is going fine so far)
But i want a break so i step back and decide to start an adventurer after reading some things, and proceeding to be awed and laughing my ass off at some of the adventure stories. So i proceed to create Thomod Cilkogite, Human Axe Warrior of bad assness.
Well after realizing i created a female by accident (i guess thats one way to figure out which animals you need for breeding) i decided to venture out into the world, first town was boring with the exception of one eager lasher who wished to join my cause and brave this world in stride with me. Me and my new found friend proceeded to venture out into the world and eventually encounterd a group of 3 wolves hungry for my flesh, and about 9 Rhesus marque, who having been corninged between my companion and i and the wolves, turned foraciously upon us. I
made quick work of the wolves, severing the first wolfs head with a might cleave of my axe, and rejoicing in the power i now wielded. My lasher friend however entertained the monkeys as i continued to face down the wolves. a few strikes later the wolves fell and i took care of a few monkey's near me, and went to assist my lasher in his whole sale slaughter of the monekys. After a few minutes of mindlessly losing track of monkey's i decided to fast travel, and was dismayed to see my companion had not followed, his fate lost to the histories of the world. But i ventured on while mourning my comrade, new found pride in my 6 kills, 3 wolves and 3 rhesus marquee. However i was destine be stuck in my place.
The next town proved more fruitful, selling the butchered remains of the wolves while keeping a few choice pieces of meat for my self, i gained a quest to travel forth and kill some kind of creature residing in a dark fortress not far awat. As i have heard so often before it appeared that the goblins had been overpopulated by the kidnapped prey, and were no longer present, as all i saw were humans in the area. However, after searching the fortress top to bottom i was disturbed to find nothing, however eventually i began to receive alerts of various citizens being hit by flame. Further investigation on the way out found several corpses by the entrance to the fortress, an a near by swordsmen, idly tending to his woulds i presume. I quickly asked him to join me as i could only assume our adversary was one and the same, and our hasty alliance we ventured out of the fortress (after looting the unsucessful men before me) to find the now fleeing prey. I found him near by, standing as still as still can be, showing no hostile actions towards me nor my companion, though he had several minor wounds i can only assume were made by the previous attempts on his life.
i debated attacking the creature, though clearly a monster with its 3 legs and ability to breathe fire, its peaceful actions towards me so far made me halt in my tracks and question it, it showed no hostility in its chat logs, and was named the Master, i can only assume he was the prior goblins master, and was in a bit of a disarray at having these human now run the area after i guess a long nap. But after looking back at the bodies fallen behind me i decided that his rampage must be ended, and so with axe in hand and my swordsmen ally by my side i charged him, swinging with my axe and my aim proving true, my first attack being an attack on its head, as my elation grew though i realized with some mild distress, that the attack had been deflected by the "giant cave spider silk hood" i still can not beleive that silk made from a spider web could be so strong, however his attacks continued to be deflected by this garment, with only occasional strikes brusing him here or there.
his first flame attack scared me, but in truth proved to be a very minor would, and as the fight waed on, i received the majority of my wounds fromhis normal attacks. It was then, with even further dismay and shame, that i realized the creature was blocking both my self and my ally, as we were being beaten to death with a rope reed sock, my first wound from the creature was in fact a blow to the head with a sock that not only broke through my bronze helm but also fractured my skull and brused the muscle. Also note his silk garments were blocking my finely crafted bronze War Axe....... And so i died, a slow long death as all my attacks were deflected or only resulted in minor bruising, and i was slowly pummeled to death with a sock, if ever at such a time another adventure manages to kill this fiend, i will kill the whole world with that sock.
