Very nice.  Good to see nothing's crippled.

Day 15
11th Galena, 200

Spoiler: bad illustration (click to show/hide)

In the morning light, Deebus examined his quarry. An enormous three-eyed serpent, squat antaenaed and austere. From the scorch marks on the stone blocks, he guessed that it had fire of some kind. Caution was his friend. He fired an arrow into its back and ducked behind a pillar.



Coming up behind, he rammed his spear into the snake's head, embedding the weapon but only making the beast angry. He yanked the spear out and plunged it into the snake's side, piercing its long guts but again doing no serious injury. Deebus jumped upon the beast, striking it again and again but hitting nothing vital. He ran around it for better angles, but it turned too, looking for him, and keeping the thinner parts of its skull just out of reach.

After many minutes of poking ineffectual holes repeatedly in the monster, it finally stopped moving, coming to a rest in a great pool of blood. Deebus caught his breath. Hopefully the next one wouldn't have so much blood. Or a thinner skull.

Did you intend to make it look so phallic?

The illustration isn't so bad, really. And Deebus is still unbelievably impressive.

[WillowLuman]

Did you intend to make it look so phallic?

Damn, not again. Into the incinerator with that one.

[laularukyrumo]

Nope. No, uh-uh. You cannot keep the swamp titan's identity from the internets!

seriously though that's some kickin arts

[Gavakis]

Bout time Hugo, bout time.
Great updates, glad to see Deebus is not dead, but what about the circus? If you manage to clear the above world of its demons,
(Which may not happen at all ) you could work your way down, to clear the world of its demons? Is it even possible?

[laularukyrumo]

Nay. Demons have unlimited populations and will just wander in from the edge of the map forever. Plus, the only way down is to find a Curious Underground Structure, which takes several RL hours of wandering around the caves and hoping you get lucky.

I can say that this is wrong, having an adventurer down in hell at the moment. While they may be infinite, all you have to do to get down to hell is retire, embark right next to your retire site, dig down to hell, abandon fort, and go down to hell!

Working that into a narrative, however, will take a contrivance of epic proportions... one so great that if Lord Contriv the Contriver of Contrivances were alive, he'd die a contrivance-related death.

[WillowLuman]

Also, kobolds can't embark, and I can't mod that on an already generated world.

With dwarves, silly!
Unless you somehow disabled Fortress Mode in Deebusland.

[WillowLuman]

Only Kobold civs spawned, as conditions weren't fit for anyone else to appear. You can only conjure 7 dwarves out of thin air if they existed as a civ at some point in Legends. But, there are Kobolds alone for all history.

Kobolds cannot embark, unless modded before world generation; thus, no embarking.

On an unrelated note, I just finished Assassin's Creed 3, the ending sucked. But back on topic:

Nearly 50 notable kills! Just 1 more...

[Nathail]

You should start training Deebus in swordsmanship. That way, if you do find a curious underground structure, you can use the candy sword against Murime. Stealing a sword from the gates of hell to kill a giant made out of solid bronze seems like a suitably epic crowning achievement for Deebus to retire on.

[NRDL]

Yeah.  Only practice on helpless opponents though. 

[WillowLuman]

Planning on tying it to a pole to make a glaive, actually.
