As an elvish vampire, I took fifteen or so followers to kill a bandit. It went surprisingly well and the bandits were slaughtered.

Being a vampire, I decided to sate my bloodthirst on an unconscious guy laying there.

That was when I discovered that companions apparently drop out of your party when wounded or something.

My entire entourage immediately attacked me. I shot several of them, bashed a couple to death with my bow, then fenced another with my left hand while choking a lasher into unconsciousness with my right. I killed the swordsman, dropped the lasher, then went after a couple of macemen. I killed them, then went after the last guy, a crippled crossbowman.

As I advanced towards him, the Lasher suddenly regained consciousness, stood up, and killed me with a single blow to the head.

Being a vampire, I decided to sate my bloodthirst on an unconscious guy laying there.

Was the unconscious guy you fed on one of your companions? You may have made yourself an enemy of their civ when you drained him.

My most intense battle was with a dragon that took my left arm and both my legs. I got a lucky stab at it's head, and managed to block all it's attempts to melt me.

Though a close second was when I wrestled a bronze colossus. It grabbed me by the torso, so I grabbed it by the hand it was using to grab me. I think this confused it, as it then proceeded to just stand there and let me whale away at it 'til I took it's head off with my -copper pick-

[Lidku]

Dudes, all these battles are great. Keep them coming, lol.

Full plate shield/lasher:
losing all My followers when I was traveling over mountains, I was following the mountaintop killing the few who got in my way, avoiding the rest. Got to a chasm with a natural stretch of stone across it, I had no choice but to go for it. Half way across I ran into a dead end. The other half of the natural bridge was 2 tiles away from me through open air.. I looks back, and observe the horde flooding towards me. I fought heroically until dodging off into thin air! And fell over 40 z levels, narrowly missing spikes of stone, and other natural bridges.

BAM, I nailed a 4x3 of 7/7 water at the bottom. I crawl out, and look up. It was raining bogeymen, they were smashing into the merciless stones around me, some even hitting the natural spikes above me, Bodies shattering.. Not one made it into the tiny pond that had saved me. I had lost my way, But I escaped the mountains 3 days later, finding new followers, on a new adventure.

[Burnup]

Two of my front gate guards + eight war dogs, held off two ambushes long enough for my civis to get inside. Not one of the goblins died.. I told all military to NOT go outside. But I suppose the sight of the last front gate guard dragging his bleeding and mutilated body closer to the soon-closing gate was too much for one barely competent sword dwarf.

He was one tick away from the gate catapulting him into space.

And now was outside with eight dead war dogs, a dead guard, a guard about to be finished off, and somewhere around 8 goblins.

The sword dwarf charged straight in, stopping the guard from being finished off. Killed one, dodged another. A goblin went after the downed guard again. The sword dwarf would have none of it! He charged passed the three goblins in front of him just to back stab the goblin threatening his friend. Dodged a bolt, killed another goblin.

And so on.. Until no goblins were left. The sword dwarf took no wounds, and gained a title. The guard survived.

I made that sword dwarf go through #$%& as part of a suicide squad until I found that no matter what I threw them at, no one in his squad would die. Years later I ended up making him the military leader, Had a huge tomb made. suited him with artifact; 1 boot, 1 shield. Everything else Candy, with his candy sword named. I planned on having my adventurer come in and don his equipment, then invade the undead fortress in the depths of my fort, then pull the Fun switch.

But the mother#$%&r wouldn't die! And I wouldn't kill him.

That fort was dying due to FPS..
So I had the now legendary sword dwarf lead his squad into the undead fort and do all of this himself. He did it with no losses.. But I had forgotten he couldn't pull the Fun switch.. So I just tunneled down unleashing Fun upon the world. He stopped them.. losing every man in his military, he alone stood atop the bodies.
"What the hell are you?" I said to the screen.

Really bad ass axedwarf shielduser armoruser on his way to collect his candy everything from my old fort with his 15+ followers.

My fort was classic medieval castle keep with 3 block wide inner and outer walls, both walls and the keep are perpetual roof covered pillboxes. walls and keep only accessible from underground. underground only accessible from the courtyard of the keep.

On his way in I thank armok it hasn't been inhabited by-

I deleted that save!

[Burnup]

I had a legendary wrestler who grew slowly to power by holding enemy weapons while his followers surround and mutilate them.

He died when his group of 20 got jumped by a goblin group of around 60.

He was holding enemies weapons with his upper and lower everything and biting while at it.

so... He could hold down 9 goblins at a time.

but with his followers dead, I kind of saw it as the 9 goblins were holding him down as he got stabbed to death by gobbo spears..

[Baffler]

Not as badass as some of the things here, but it was a milestone.

So I was running as a human hero axeman, and I'd made a name for myself killing a vampire and a family of night trolls. So a peasant sent me to the capital, which was a fortress for some reason, for a quest from the Lady there (a first for me.) She told me to go south, and slay a dwarf "Commander" who was making trouble in the area. So I went around to the villages and put together a posse of about 9 guys, mostly swordsmen. All was going well, until the first night off of the road.

The ambush was swift and brutal, two goblin axe squads, with at least two archers. An arrow hit me hard in the gut right from the get-go, lodging firmly in the would and ruining my lower spine. My companions fought hard all around me, but we were completely surrounded and outnumbered nearly three to one. One by one they fell, the battle slowly being pushed in my direction as they tightened the circle, or were broken off, surrounded and killed.

That was when I noticed my target, the sly bastard was in command of these goblins. He was hugely muscular with black hair and as tremendous and ridiculous a beard as any dwarf I've ever seen. He even had a few pieces of steel armor, but the clincher was his +<<-Silver War Hammer>>+. He came up to me, and gave a little speech. At this point I only had one other companion, a female spearman who'd been with me from the very beginning. She was up and fighting until a flying iron arrow got stuck in her in the leg and she collapsed. A goblin beheaded her shortly afterward, which honestly made me a little sad. Two ticks later, the commander was on me, and with one swing to the head...

*You have been struck down*

It has definitely rekindled my interest in adventure mode, to say the least.

[Erofire]

My first few adventurer games I always tried to become a vampire, as the infinite endurance was quite appealing. I failed miserably every time until my fifth adventurer and his three trusty companions tracked down a vampire in a hamlet by the ocean. Enjoying the cool, salty breeze the monster had feasted on more than a thousand but no one in the town dared accuse him.

I put myself in the best possible scenario and accused him in one of the houses where he was surrounded by villagers. Exposed, the creature was piled upon by at least six men, yet he killed them all in a few swipes and fled for the hills. He was wounded and a shot from my archer brought him to his knees. With incredible speed he crawled away, but not as fast as we could run. With rookie enthusiasm, my companions and I charged the creature each hoping to get the killing blow. It was fatal mistake for even on the ground the creature was dangerous and each one of my friends fell before him. Scared and bleeding, I dared not approach him as he crawled away to the horizon. And them it came to me! I picked up a fallen comrade's silver two handed blade and heaved it at him. The spinning sword struck him in the arm, chipping the bone. Barely a scratch to such a foe, but it was a start. As he crawled further I picked up the sword again and threw it. Again and again I threw it, until a lucky spin caught the vampire straight in the head, breaking his skull and jamming it into the brain.

Victorious, I pulled the blade from the corpse of my fallen foe and licked its length, savouring the taste. The next night I feasted on the blood of a goblin ambush that found a new companion and I in the woods. My friend did not object and such our adventures began. I became a legend and travelled across the land. Many months later, coming down the mountain my group was ambushed by a band of goblins who called themselves the Hot Horrors. Outnumbered, all but one of my companions were slain. Still, victory was close in my hand as these pathetic goblins were nothing before a warrior of my might. In the midst of me strangling a wolf, the last remaining goblin fired a bolt past my companion and struck me in the back of the head, killing me instantly.

I guess the last part is longer than I intended. It's hardly a legendary battle but it was my first real taste of adventurer glory.

[Wandering Leiner]

I had an encounter wherein there was a large number of goblins, seven of them are spearmasters and swordmasters.

They all perished by either a spinning diorite to the head, a bite to the neck or a badly damaged heart and the following blood loss. All but one.

This little guy survived even though having all of his limbs cut except his left arm. And by some twisted form of fate, he pushed me off the hill and I came tumbling down nearly 2 z-levels.

I died because I hit a tree to the head...

Not exactly my most intense battle, but it was quite worth mentioning it

[JayThePro]

Here is the link to my newly made thread I explain my battle against the Malign Terror. It really was intense! About 50 things happened every few tiles.

[TheDarkStar]

I modded in a near-invincible platinum blob. Because I had a lot of shields, fighting one resulted in me gaining 15000 (not an exaggeration) XP per step. Since I couldn't get rid of it, I eventually went to a nearby village and got away while it attacked the townspeople.

[GFire]

 The only really "Intense" battle I can think of is when I was testing out a completely overpowered cheat-adventurer, and I set it against an army of different creatures, all with candy weapons and armor, and with superior/Grand Master everything.

I forget what happened in the middle bit, but in the end he was just a head and torso.
Since he was pretty much invincible until something chopped it's head off, I'd call that a win.

[Xantalos]

Had to be the time I was taking on a hydra and realized there were four of them.
Copper pick, nothing else.

[Angel Of Death]

My legendary swordsman got ambushed by about 30 bandits. I managed to kill all of them but the leader (I save them for last so I can torture them for free XP). We were both pretty wounded, I had a lung punctured from an arrow, a few smashed fingers, and a snapped ankle. He, however, just had a broken knee and severed hand.
As he had lost his weapon when his hand was severed, I dropped mine when I started to crawl towards him. Both of us had passed out at least three times before we reached each other. Him and I fought until the sun set, but neither of us could best one in combat. After a few real life minutes, my pain went from extreme to moderate. He had passed out again, so I picked up a rock and smashed his skull in.
