What was your most gut runching battle in DF. Was it the time you fought a deity, with your bare hands? Maybe fighting a hydra with your disembodied leg or that time when you challenged a werebear to mortal kombat? Post your most intense battles here!

Something strangely exhilarating is taking 20-something companions and attracting the attention of a similarly sized (a.k.a. larger) group of goblins and duking it out. Needless to say, we slowly lost the battle, but it was awesome watching a movie battle scene step by step.

I had to fight a den of like 4 dragons in the same place that was pretty intense man. they were all spraying their fire and I was all blocking I won in the end.

In Kobold Camp, a dwarven siege came, being more than my militia, and with obviousley superior weapons, but my 10 brave 'bolds defeated them only with blowguns, slings and pointy sticks... and an ogre, but he only came to give a final blow to one dwarf, nothing else.
Man, I imagine my kobold chief yelling "Freedom!" and charging with his excuse for a spear.

The first time I played a necromancer I animated everything I killed/saw, so I ended up with several hundred followers. Then I was ambushed. I didn't survive, but it did take ages because of all the lag. So many bowmen. My gut was truly runched.

I once had this epic battle in Adventure mode that I will never, ever forget! I had one of those adventurers who lived long enough to be a badass and I got ambushed with the max amount of companions with me. Gigantic 100+ battle or so. I didn't count, but it was a LOT of fucking goblins. They were everywhere! After slaughtering people for a good ten minutes, I realized I was the last man standing in a battleground washed in blood and goblin bits, as well as my massacred companions. Or so I thought.

As I was walking away, I noticed a blinking companion icon coming towards me. I (l) her, and you know what I see? A gigantic injury list full of mangled bones, arrow wounds, AND TWO MISSING FUCKING ARMS. MY character couldn't survive getting hit with arrows, breaking most of his bones, and losing both of his arms in a single battle without dying. She must've fallen in and out of consciousness throughout a battlefield with a bajillion goblins and DIDN'T GET BRAINED on top of having, like, a pint of blood to run on. And you know what else? She had a muthafuckin' title, so she had some kills, too!

Freakin' SWEET.

I was once ordered to hunt down an elven bandit named Onad Crazedmachines in the sewer underneath a town. I thought I could take him with just three guys and myself. As soon as I found him, we spent a few turns dodging eachother's attacks until he stabbed me in the head, destroying my upper spine. I survived since I was a vampire, but I had to crawl all the way out of the sewer while my companions distracted Onad and his crew. I wish I'd kept the world, it might still be kicking around on a flash drive somewhere.

In Masterworks arena mode, testing out the new weapons I added.

For those who don't know, Masterworks arena has a circular (as far as DF does curves) center spot. Being that its quite big, I put 9 varied civ races equally spaced (8 around the edges in a chaos star set up) and one in the center, all armed and armoured the same, despite being a mix of humans, elves, dwarves and orcs.

They were all independent and had 10 in all combat skills. I assumed control of an orc in the center, and a small series of duels started up, with the winner moving into another fight. After a long quite epic struggle, my Orc won. So I returned to arena mode and continued to add in more dueling partners, but this orc woudnt die.
So I moved onto testing the plethora of dangerous creatures Masterwork adds.
The Orc most notably fought off a vampire lord, a mind-flayer lord, a dragon and a werewolf, the latter requiring a frantic scrabble about looking for one of the 2 silver weapons hidden in the enormous clutter of over 100 weapons covering the floor of the little arena once I realised my steel weapons were useless. That orc eventually died to a Bebillith, which I only found out after spawning it, that its a gigantic spider with blades at the ends of its feet. The bloody thing strangled me to death after near a million web sprays (WTF is with spiders web slinging speed!?)

There have been plenty of epic/slog adventure fights (solo-ing towers/fortresses anyone?), but this one always sticks with me for the sheer unkillable badassery one orc forced into a crappy win-or-die situation could possess. It became easy to empathise with that group of orc pixels, tags and prefstrings.

[Lidku]

Yeah I hate spiders in DF. Their web move always kills my adventurers and my squads in both modes.

[Sharpscopes]

A 10 minute fight against a giant ambush (Large party. More goblins. Amiright?)

We won. Or rather i won. All my companions died and i had to fight off a few goblins on my own. Came out with a missing toe. (Or finger. I died not long after by a arrow in the head.)

[NRDL]

My dwarf martial artist, with one crippled hand, fought a human vampire, who also had a crippled hand from fighting some villagers.  We duked it out, I landed a good deal of blows, but I was obviously getting more bruises.  So, I grabbed the vampire's tongue, took him down to the ground, then stomped his face in with my foot.

Newest Intense Battle:

Went to take out a bandit camp in perfect condition. Lost both my legs and ended up throwing a knife into the leaders head. (Hells yea!)

I bled out shortly thereafter.

[Enemy post]

Probably not my most intense, but one time I was fighting a lycanthrope in human form, it got several good hits in, with me stabbing it repeatedly with my spear, trying to put it down. Ultimately I pass out, but then upon waking up found out the lycanthrope had bled out before it could stomp my head in.

[TheSaberTooth]

Im not sure if this was a bug or not, but one time I literally THREW A BRONZE F*CKING COLOSSUS. With a DWARF. Best game ever. 

[Lidku]

Lol, what was your dwarfs strength at the time?
