Your most ridiculous and nooby death at DF.
« on: July 01, 2014, 02:19:50 pm »

Dwarf Fortress is sure a pretty hard game when you have just started playing, so, you might find yourself dying from ridiculous causes that, after you got more skilled at the game you think: "WTF, how could i die by a turkey?".

So, what's yours most ridiculous way to die?

Mine was starting as a outsider, forgotting to get clothing and getting myself killed by a cat...

I alt-moved wrong and died from falling down some stairs, despite having been clearly warned about them.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

I once wandered into the caverns in search of prizes and cake.
Going in:"Oh boi! This is going to be just like Brinstar!"
2 hours (game time) in: "This place is boring and desolate and I want to go back up now."
4 hours in: "Where's the exit? Where's the exit!?"
6 hours in: "Welp, I'm lost. And I have no food either this will end well."
8 hours in: "Oh look, a way further down. Digging myself deeper couldn't hurt now."
10 hours in: "Wow, the deeper you go, the more boring it g-- OH MY GOD GIANT CAVE OGRE!"

Stabbed a peasant in the starting village.
Had the entire village pretend they were Asian honey bees reacting to a Japanese giant hornet.

I used a slightly modded world because I like bandit ambushes and high dungeon populations.

My dwarf, a member of hammerdwarven enclave, came from the mountains to help people with bandit problems. Weather was sunny and nothing pointed at any trouble. I leisurely walked into the marketplace... And rushed as fast as I could to the keep, followed by a horde of bloodthirsty merchants with pointy deadly knives. After about seven fell, I was overwhelmed and stabbed, stabbed, stabbed...

It seems [LOCAL_BANDITRY] tag makes every member of civilization ridiculously bloodthirsty.

A child smashed my best dwarf adventurer's head in after I killed his parents and village. Children man, don't mess with them.

This one comes second. An ocean froze on me when I was 8 tiles from the beach I wad heading to.

After all this, I realized that you shouldn't get too attached to your adventurers.

Apparently they have circumstantial telepathy.

Walked into a hut that appeared to have a villager on every tile in it, accused the vampire of being a night creature, and watched in terror as the 60 cultists (turned out to be 3-4 per tile) cut me like a turkey.

Reviewing the combat logs revealed a valiant struggle by a couple of villagers in the hut that actually put up a decent fight before becoming red vapor.

So, I've been playing around with the DwarfChocolate mod, most notably the extra that adds in Wizard Towers.
A brief note: Wizards are overpowered.
How overpowered?
Wizards are on the level with fully automatic dual Silverballers with magnum ammunition in Hitman: Blood Money, in terms of general overpowered-ness. (Makes fighting them a daunting task, especially if you aren't a wizard yourself.)
Anyways, I had a vampire witch (witches are what female wizards are listed as in Dwarf Chocolate, not to be patronizing.) who'd been slaughtering villagers, bandits, and bogeymen alike. She had single-handedly racked up over four hundred and fifty kills, a large chunk of the sentient population on the small island that she was on. She carried two weapons, one a steel dagger pimped out with the bones of a giant leopard she had slain, along with bone opal gems, and the other, a titanium longsword that had been decorated with the bones of an eagle, as well as various gems. She would walk into villages at dawn, just as the occupants of the houses were beginning to rise, and lay waste to them. Having legendary skills in both sword and dagger, she wore no armor, and simply batted bolts and arrows out of the air. Also being a witch, she had a variety of spells at her disposal. She would use a spell that imbued her with ridiculous speed to run circles around her foes while launching fireballs at long-range targets. After she'd decimated every village besides the capital of Singednoble (an unusually dwarven name for a human town), she set her sights there. She strolled into the marketplace at high noon, and cast a spell causing a merchant nearby to go berserk and create general chaos, before she launched herself into battle. She killed every single living thing in the marketplace in the most violent ways at her disposal (melted one dude's eyeballs). Well, almost everything. Her right hand had been disabled by a goblin planter's crossbow, but her left hand still held her steel dagger, which was responsible for the deaths of over two hundred and fifty souls. She stood down the lone survivor of the marketplace massacre, a human farmer. She lured him over to a cliff, planning to kick him off, and she charged. He dodged out of the way, and she was slightly taken aback by this. She removed a crossbow from her backpack, intending to shoot him from point- blank range. Her shot missed, and the farmer took advantage of this, and went on the offensive. She dodged a particularly anemic blow from the farmer. Over the cliff.
Fell five z-levels before smashing her skull on a rock.
R.I.P. she will be missed ;_;
Moral: ALWAYS SET YOUR DODGING PREFERENCES.

See, this is why you don't play with mods, ladies and gentlemen. Modders are evil, diabolical creatures who love killing off their players.

One tile drop. Wasn't so much a case of being a noob as not being one and thinking I knew how fall damage worked. :-\

I had just raided my best (at the time) fort, gotten a full set of adamantine gear, and killed a forgotten beast with an adamantine spear. I felt really badass so I went to swim in a nearby river.

...yeah... *sigh*
