This is probably nothing to you veteran DF players but I truly believe I have begun an epic story. I have lost demigod characters to wild boar without getting a single kill before.
But I have started a game on a pocket world 820 years in with an average count of everything, I'm playing as a human peasant swordsman, with a
silver longsword and my first quest was to kill a vampire
, and two peasants that could assume beastly forms and could only be hurt by iron
. I thought I had no chance, obviously I couldn't hire any soldiers and the regular people wouldn't budge either so I thought, screw it I'll kill myself. I marched right into the closest cave and quickly discovered that one of the peasants and the vampire lived together
. So I backed off a bit out of the lair and waited. When the
vampire approached I made a desperate swing, and took out his legs
, after a few more strikes I finished him off amazed with myself.
Full with sudden confidence I rushed into the lair and attacked the peasant, who swiftly hit me in the hand, causing me to drop my sword and start bleeding. I was about to give up when I noticed I had no pain so I simply picked it up and attacked again, eventually killing him.
Since then i have cleared several more lairs and killed a few vampires, I am about to lead an expedition into the capitals sewers, normally I wouldn't dare but now I have many sodiers and a badass peasant so I'm feelling optimistic.
