Is that adamantine?

Yes.

[Eric Blank]

Oh the joys! Makes one wish to be able to embark and deck deebus in the halls of candy spears and shields!

[thehman03]

Also, unsure whether to continue the count of days of start it over for each chapter.

i suggest that once the day count reaches that of 31, give us a month number followed by a day number, if you get that far

[Spy227X]

Guess i shouldn't kill Kobolds on my Bronze Colossus then...
Unless, of course, I want Deebus to kill me.

[Bloax]

Also sorry to break it to you guys, but it's quite unlikely to meet anything of interest in the caverns, because a bug wipes the underground population in Adventurer Mode.
And since Deebus' story is so long, the remaining population is quite likely to be but a fading shadow from a dying candlelight of what was supposed to be.

Though I'll be quite amazed at Hugo's patience if he does stumble upon The Lightsaber Citadel.
I certainly couldn't be bothered after wandering around for an hour with the assistance of DFHack "Reveal" without finding anything.

Otherwise the story has been top-notch though, I've long since been following it.

[Eric Blank]

Hugo; if you're near the coast, I suggest moving seaward. regions of cavern under the ocean might not be considered as part of those under the land which would have been depredated by your adventuring, so you may have the chance to hack some wild trogs up.

[WillowLuman]

Bloax, did you do this wandering around in Deebus's world? But just a note, dfhack doesn't reveal HFS, adamantine spires, or slade fortresses in adventure mode.

And did you mean adventure mode wipes the population as you kill roving mobs anywhere, or that once you start adventure mode, all animals are wiped from the caverns across the world?

In my experience, the chief danger of the caverns in adventure mode is in fact starvation, though sometimes the game seems to generate a bunch of cave creatures right in the middle of all the kobolds at the bottom of their cave. Like the dead, named GCS I kept passing by in every visit home.

[MrWillsauce]

The chief danger in caverns is dodging off a cliff and landing on top of a tree. It's happened to me multiple times and it is by far the worst way to die.

If you ever encounter anything to fight...

[MrWillsauce]

Well, most of the times I've been in the caverns in adventurer mode have been when I entered through a kobold cave. In other words, hundreds upon hundreds of the little bastards swarming me on steep cliffs.

[WillowLuman]

The last spiral ramp leading out the bottom of the kobold cave and to the floor of the Caverns? I can see that being very tough to get down safely, if the kobolds are hostile.

[laularukyrumo]

I recall that if you're caught in a tree, lighting it on fire is a relatively safe way to get out of it. It worked for me the one time I was in the caves.

I've also had experiences running into hordes of crundles, a rutherer, and a blind cave ogre that crippled my leg. So I doubt that adventure mode is inherently bugged and that it wipes cavern populations.

[nanomage]

last time I tried to retrieve the sword in adventure mode, cavern layer 2 was completely devoid of animal life, but on the third I met some molemarians. It's completely possible and requires nothing but much time to get the sword. I guess you could even have a two-hander, a long sword and a short sword/scimitar for the off hand if you're that patient.

It's glorious slaughter for a legendary swordsman. They barely land a hit, and you can slaughter them with headshot after headshot. Until you get overexerted. Then they start frantically stabbing your face.

I imagine death comes while you clamber down the spiral ramp into the caverns and you automatically dodge to the side...
