My first goblin ambush
« on: January 11, 2011, 07:57:51 pm »
So. I was walking around, chilling. I had accepted a quest from the lady of a nearby castle to go murder a goblin camp. So, I rounded up 6 warriors and took off. then I was stopped by this:

TELL THEM IT WAS THE ROCKS OF RAGE IF YOU LIVE!
WTF? I thought. At first I thought that my fellow companions were rebelling, but then I saw the horde of g's coming. Christ, we must have killed 20. It was awesome, and I got an unexpected notable kill out of it. Alas, only two of my adventurers survived.

How did your first ambush experience go?

Badly, I got killed by a BS arrow in the back which chipped a bone and caused unconsciousness from the pain, then the Goblins wailed on me until I died. It was my own fault for not bringing enough meatshield companions though. Now I always take the maximum I can, just so they can soak up the hits.

They were quite pathetic. My Bone Doctor fixed them all up on his own, and i just threw a rock at their leaders head, shattering his skull.

Yeah, I wasn't aware of the goblin ambushes in Adventurer mode until it happened while me and my guys were passing out for 8 hours.

I had to start a new character over shortly after the warning message appeared.

Best ambush message I ever got was "H-h-halt in the name of the Confident Spiders!"

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
