I actually slept for 8 hours to try and bypass any nerve damage or whatever temporary effects. Deebus had started flopping over every 2 steps just as I started looking around the bottom floor, so I was more than a litttle worried. But looks like I managed to clear all demons in the fort first. They should be much sparser outside and not a threat to a sleeping kobold sheltered in an out of the way nook.

28 Galena, 200

There was a group of enormous, long-feathered, winged, pale-brown snails on a ledge over a great chasm from which shone a bright led light, just outside the cave. Deebus shot at them, killing one with an arrow between the eye-stalks and wounding another. He should have gone back up to make more arrows, though, and after he fired, they returned fire.

Frozen white gobs of some strange smelling substance whizzed past Deebus in volleys, but he found they were easily blocked or dodged. Still, he ducked back inside to avoid the possibility of falling into the chasm. Dodging around, creeping up only to  be seen, striking only to be dodged, he was hard pressed to land any blows, and yet neither could they harm him. They seemed to have no means of attack other than spitting their ice. However, after a long while, Deebus isolated one near the edge of the chasm and chopped off its wings.

Deebus continued this dance, dodging, leaping striking while being dodged, leapt away from, and struck at. He chopped wings and shells from the monsters, but then he found they could do more than spit. As he tried to strike one, it opened a gaping sucker and grabbed his leg. Deebus tried to hit it before it could shake him about, but it bobbed its head away from his thrusts. Finally, he caught it well in the body, slicing deep and sending out a huge gush of blood, but it was no instantly fatal blow and he saw the body tense to shake his leg off. Thinking quickly, Deebus whipped out his silver spear from his backpack and thrust.

The last two were already severely crippled from the injuries he inflicted, and one bled out as he charged, so he redirected his charge and planted a kick squarely in the squishy face of the last one.

Deebus is utterly awesome. Comrade Hugoluman, I believe you should be nominated for winning the game.
As a side note, how are you going to stop it? You know, with demons you just have to stop somewhere, they are innumerable and stuff.
Have you considered retiring in hell under you tribe's cave to reappear (with ancestors' intervention for sure) right back at home?

[WillowLuman]

I'm not traveling through hell. Well, probably not. There's nothing to eat down there, and exits are far between. Well, maybe demons can be butchered if I'm starving (it lets you butcher sentients then right?) but combat rolls get severely degraded when you're that hungry.

mmmmmm Salt and Armadillo monster roast

Regular demons are edible, they're non-sapient iirc. It's the unique ones that escape at year 0 who are unbutcherable.
EDIT: disregard, proved false downthread. A pity, though.



EDIT: also, I believe there are no exits barring ones you created yourself from up there. So the only means to exit would be by logging your path or though retiring under a settlement bug.

[WillowLuman]

I just checked extracted generated raws from a world, all demons have [CAN_SPEAK] and [CAN_LEARN]. Also, won't let me butcher them in game: "You're not that hungry."


Everything in these caves... it had been by far the hairiest fighting Deebus had been in yet. Perhaps this place was the source of all evil spirits; but perhaps these were merely a test of his worth from the Ancestors. After all, he had been forced to fight against huge, skilled opponents in the open, working very hard for his moments of stealth. Yes, he did feel stronger after all this.

Spoiler: Compare it to the earlier one (click to show/hide)

He looked around at the enormous cavern... no, world, around him. Truly the bottom of the world, then, unless that red light in the chasms led somewhere, but he wasn't about to find out. This place, an adventure for another day. As he climbed back up through the caves into into the smooth maze, Deebus pushed huge mounds of salt, green glass, and spirit flesh to block the stairs. In the building, he cut off unrotten parts of the dead animals and made more bone arrows, as he didn't know when he'd find food again, and set out back into the dark.

Even uber-kobolds have their limits.

[Eric Blank]

Damn fine job! You'd be hard-pressed to develop a more-skilled adventurer. Or defeat any sort of demons, especially considering that they all have such high natural skills.

[Tirion]

This is every bit as awesome as I hoped.

[Fniff]

Walking away from hell seems less "not dwarfy" and more like "screw it, I'll deal with you guys later when I'm done with the idiots on top".

[Bloax]

I'd say it's a wise decision considering that hell is filled to the brim with random instadeath material.
Or well, one lucky fireball and he'll bleed to death. Or one unfortunate dusty monster and he's unconscious and getting his brains beaten in/instantly rotted away.

[Fniff]

For some reason I imagine him popping up as a demon again and then killing his way out of hell as a kobold demon after being killed.

[Eric Blank]

And thus he spontaneously becomes a woman. A very lustful kobold demon woman, who finds herself freed from the confines of an adamantine column by none other than Blitikus. She then goes on to suffer a time paradox or some shit because Blitikus is just that cool and totally didn't want to surrender both his soul and his mother's.

Or maybe it was because they became gods or something like that and no longer had to honor their oath to offer their souls to the demon.

That part of Kobold Quest confused the hell out of me. Maybe I'm bad with the concept of time...
