[Scoops Novel]

Who and what was the most memorable, toughest adversary you ever encountered? Geography is included.

[Dyret]

Barring Titans and such made out of rocks and worse I'd say a particularly dodge-happy elven chieftain. She is probably the reason I always go for legs first in combat now... less trouble down the line that way.

[Yourmaster]

Bowman. All bowmen. I hate bowmen

[nanomage]

Web-throwing eight-legged quadruped composed of dolomite.

[Sarrak]

Giant human when I tried to bite him into submission while being prone, nude and not using arms or legs.

[Matoro]

I once encountered some warlord in the dungeons. And he was probably the most badass bandit I've ever met.

I fought my way through his minions, and then our swords clashed. The fight was damn intense, we were nearly equal in skills and equipment. We both got cuts and wounds. But that bastard just didn't die, no matter what I did to it. He charged to me and we both fell off to a dry cistern (or whatever those multi z-level things in dungeons are) and kept fighting unarmed and feet fractured. I think his willpower was starting to diminish, and his strikes became slower and slower. Eventually I strangled him and then passed out from exhaustion and loss of blood.

Somehow every dragon I've encountered has been a pretty boring. They usually die easily from a stab to head.

[Blastbeard]

Mogastad Stonehall the Dutiful Crater, Dwarf Axelord, versus Ustol Dreadaxe the Pungent Gleam, Goblin Genocider.
My first and perhaps best adventurer versus the nemesis I created specifically to entice, challenge, and destroy him.
My beloved monsters, two demigods, doing what they do because it was all they knew.

One Dwarf versus an entire goblin fortress, with one of the greatest villains his world had ever known laying in wait inside. It was a battle worthy of Armok himself.

And it got really crazy when the goblin's demonic leader got involved in the fight.

[Cheesecake]

My adventurer was a vampire macelord, having slain around 200 people, including other vampires, wild beasts and sewer monsters, was slain by the most unlikely of people. My own companion. A milker.

Being a vampire, I was required to drink blood. We were near a fortress, full of armed soldiers. Instead of fighting them in broad daylight, I decided to just incapacitate my companion and drink from him. He managed to fend me off, and with a lucky shot to my leg I fell prone. Being a Legendary Thrower, I planned on crawling to get a few stones and kill him, but he had a crossbow. He shot me through the chest, piercing my heart.

That was the end. Slain by a crossbow through the heart, fittingly enough. The milker that slew me, as I found out through another adventurer, later became an important person in the same fortress I died in.

(I actually forgot it was the same world. There was a corpse outside the fort, but only after I met the milker (who boasted about slaying a vampire) did I realize it was me.)

[Deon]

Web-throwing eight-legged quadruped composed of dolomite.

Eight-legged quadruped... Seems legit!

[darkpaladin109]

Eight-legged quadruped... Seems legit!

Quadruped means they use four legs for walking. So an eight legged quadruped isn't inconcievable.

[TheDarkStar]

I wonder: Could DF generate a two-legged quadruped?

[fractalman]

I wonder: Could DF generate a two-legged quadruped?

eldritch abominations...those who gaze upon such a creature risk going even more insane than they already are.  :grins:
