Flaming Kobold Marksmen Ninjas
« on: July 26, 2012, 11:21:45 am »



Nope, not even superhuman agility, legendary agility and a kill list of a 100 or so bogeymen will save you from a catnap in the forest. One turn kill. noone messes with kobolds. Not even Chuck Norris.

Your picture doesn't seem to be working, but I assume it shows you being killed by Deebus  :).  Or maybe Corai...

More seriously, I'm pretty sure when you're asleep (unconscious) your skills/attributes don't do much, if anything.  The kobold will get one guaranteed hit against your head (they always go for the head on a guaranteed shot) if he can sneak up on your before you wake up, so your only hope is if your helmet deflects the hit, or if your observer skill is high enough to let you wake up first.  Having followers to alert you to incoming kobolds (by dying loudly) can also help.

Or, you know, don't sleep outside.  Actually, just read about Deebus for everything you could ever want to know about surviving in adventure mode...

There's not a whole lot to the picture, dunno why it's not showing for you guys but it doesn't matter. ( The kobold wasn't even on the screen )

But here it is word for word;

                              "Furber luldus!"
The flying copper arrow strikes you in the head, tearing the muscle,
fracturing the skull and tearing the brain through the swan leather cap!
                     A Tendon in the skull has been torn!

     The Copper Arrow has lodged firmly in the wound!
                     You have been shot and killed.


Didn't even see the killer, one turn kill. But checking the legends the killer was called (Wait for it); Klobodojleedus Athrocot

I read "Koboldjeebus Apricot" at first glance, for some reason.

You linked to the page your image was on instead of to the image.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

You know, this is one of the reasons why I sleep in sheltered areas. Even if it's just a group of dingoes, I can still sneak and make my way out without anyone knowing where Urist McAdventurer just went. And if it's a bandit, I don't get chipped bones syndrome :P

Why does everyone know me all the sudden?

Ahtrocot? Epic name.

I stole the image and uploaded it for you.

I've had a few deaths like that in the past. Forget fearing the night, its the kobold snipers archers I really fear the most.

Maybe, just maybe it has something to do with this.

Then he made grudge wit about 20 other dwarfs (still don't know why - perhaps they were stealing his chair).

lesson learned , never run around dungeon naked , those animal men with blowdarts covered in olm man urine may kill you .

I am currently investigating what Brainfreez is on. It is the greatest drug that any man, woman, kobold or pony has ever seen, going off of that everything he posts is pure win.

Any metal armoured/shield user with a decently seasoned veteran adventurer can take on numerous blowgunners with ease.

Oh! And darts happen to be very god-like in their ability to kill naked  things :P

human outsiders start naked . and clothes can easily block blowdarts.
i was lucky to have no gloves/mittens/gauntlet and get shot in left hand with blowdart covered in GCS venom.
