The RNG seems to want to shield-bash and crossbow-bash, so I call shots. Dual picks is like being a living chainsaw, anything that's a limb or attached to one seems to get severed with a good hit. Glancing hit, breaks bones or tears something. Body-shots inflict lethal wounds by piercing organs.

The casual brutality of this game is best captured by your crippled compatriot.


On an artsy fartsy note - DF creates all sorts of situations that would be the stuff of orgasms for someone doing interpretative art or something.
Is the player evil? what would a character from the game think? Are they colonials being colonized? Whats going on?

These questions will be answered by this playthrough, an allegory for interpretive dance, that is named - pickaxe deconstruction.

How do you go about it? I usually scroll through first to see if there are any critical hits listed first and I usually go for those. It's always fun while you kick a boogeyman in the tongue and kill them instantly by driving their jaw through their brain.

If there aren't any critical hits, then I got for the easiest, most solid shots listed. If I have a choice, I tend to pick either feet or hands first since damaging those not only can disarm/disable an opponent, but there's a good chance of shattering a bone or tapping an artery if the extremity in question isn't lopped off. The latter can often lead to the opponent passing out from pain while the latter just renders it a matter of time until they bleed out.

I usually don't fool with headshots at first simply because a larger opponent that can stand will result in a lot of misses even if you've got a really high chance of success according to the selection scren. Well, unless I have a martial trance going in which case I always attack the head first. There's nothing quite so satisfying as killing a dragon with one blow.

I got for hands/fingers and feet/toes first, then lower legs/arms, and so on with this character, occasionally going for the lower body first to tear a new hole. Severing doesn't seem to cause massive pain like chipping/shattering bone does, so if I want them to pass out I'll go for one with decent chance of hitting but the damage is "can't quite connect" or lower. Disarming (in all senses of the word) is main priority. I must keep Kima alive, too, or else I'll have to go find another narrator.

Kima seems to be becoming a fairly good misc weapon user though.

It's the crutches most likely; he'll never do much more than bruising his opponent with those but it'll make any shield bashes that much more effective.

Wow this is really awesome.glad I checked back.I cant believe u killed a dragon! No face really sounds merciless lol.I'm getting a laptop for Christmas.so I might start my own thing like this or maybe join with you if your willing.

[Deepblade]

I've always loved masks, now I know why. I just wish they added more armor.

I'm going to write a summary of ALL the adventures at the end.but the geek in me demands I write ot in draconic first  :Plol

[WillowLuman]

Before I continue, I must decide: eat the brain or leave the dead dragon untouched?

[TopHat]

Carry the corpse to Silverysects.
We need to build a temple around it.

[Urist McLaptop]

YesYes! And eat the brain as a. Victory feast.I'm gonna include this in my summary!

[Jase]

Bath in its blood and get invulnerable. And because shoulder is too mainstream, put the leaf on the groin.

[Aseaheru]

well, THAT escalated quickly.

Eat the brain and bring the bones and teeth so that we can make an artifact out of them someday.

[WillowLuman]

Well, I could haul the entire dragon and butcher it when I get there (can't butcher slain creatures in fort mode, have to be alive and then designated apparently.) That would be a bit slow though.

Hmm, what about the skull?
