Couldn't get out of the starting fortress yet...fast-travel does not seem to help.

Conversations are kinda weird now...why does that guy hate me?

Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: Greetings.  My name is Ingish Mirrorgilt.
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: Is this an attack?  What's going on?!
You: Ah, hello.  I'm Urvad Oarblockades.  Traveling alone in the wilds?!  You know better than that.
The Suturer spits!
You block The flying Ingish Mirrorgilt's dwarf spit with the copper shield!

Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: Well, let's see...  we've got beasts and bandits.
You: Tell me about the beasts.
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: A beast from the wilds has been harassing our people.  The creature is R„duk Unguilds the cheetah.
You: That's terrific!
You: Tell me about the local ruler.
The Suturer spits!

Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: The Murky Lance rules Boatssocket.  It's for the best.
You: Do they have a firm grip on these lands?
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: They do not feel challenged at all.
You: Where are their forces?  Are there patrols or guards?
The Suturer spits!
You jump away from The flying Ingish Mirrorgilt's dwarf spit!
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: You sound like a troublemaker.
You: Does this settlement engage in trade?  Tell me about those places.
You need a free grasp to hold the terrain.

The Suturer spits!
You block The flying Ingish Mirrorgilt's dwarf spit with the copper shield!
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: I yield!  I yield!
You release the grip of Your right upper arm from The Suturer's throat.
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: Has the tide turned?  Ahhhhhhh!  No!
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: Stop!  This isn't happening!
The Craftsdwarf misses You!
The Craftsdwarf misses You!

The Craftsdwarf attacks You but You jump away!
You punch The Craftsdwarf in the head from behind with your right hand, bruising the muscle through the white stork leather hood!
Kogan Nicatrakust, Craftsdwarf: In the midst of conflict...  I laugh in the face of death!

Kogan Nicatrakust, Craftsdwarf has been struck down.
The Suturer spits!
The flying Ingish Mirrorgilt's dwarf spit misses You!
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: Greetings Urvad.  Been in any good scraps today?
The Suturer stands up.
You: Hello.  It is good to see you.  Traveling alone in the wilds?!  You know better than that.
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: I hate you.
You: Not a half hour ago I slew Kogan Chainedtombs.
The Suturer spits!
You jump away from The flying Ingish Mirrorgilt's dwarf spit!
Ingish •nuloltar, Suturer: It was inevitable.

Also I think the Surturer was yelling something, there were yellow !s, but I couldn't figure out how to listen...

His group doesn't like your group.

Not sure if it's causing all of the hatred, but you should sheathe your weapon with (q) if you're indoors. People tend to freak out about it ("Is this an attack?  What's going on?!").

First Vamp iCame upon fled upon my accusation; I pinpointed the cottage he lived in and tried moving away and back, which worked once, but he got away a second time because one of his room mates got in my way--my guys pursued while I whipped the legs out from under the valiant human, but by then it was too late.

I was dehyd and all nearby water was daytime frozen, so after it became obvious I wasn't going to get myself some vampy goodness and couldn't get anyone to finger a new location for the bastard I decided to retire (due to the glitch whereby I believe death would render my world unplayable for future adventurers yet retiring or giving in is fine und dandy).

[Spehss _]

If you have a waterskin filled with ice you can light a campfire, stand next to it, then (I)nteract with your waterskin. You'll have the option to heat the waterskin over the fire to melt the ice. Bam, you can drink.

[raler]

I guess you can ask bandit leaders to be a lieutenant, has anyone tried this?

You really think, that your adventures are glitching your world after they die?
From what I've experienced and heard, retiring your characters is a glitchy process in itself.
If it's 100% cause your worlds to corrupt or something, then make sure you bring them into the wilderness, as retired adventures may or may not wreck havoc upon the location they reside in, and make meeting them a buggy proposition.

Sprinting and jumping at the roofs reminded me the "Assassin's Creed" game series xD Maybe eventually there will be more air for thieving stuff, climbing or jumping into houses through the windows and stealing valuable things? Evading guards and servants? I might have confused at some point, but I think I read something like that in the development reports, or didn't I?

Yes, there is a dev goal for "crimes and justice" which includes NPC and player criminal activity, and justice systems(city watches, guards, jails, ability to take prisoners and restrain people, etc.) to combat said criminal activity. I think Toady has said it will likely come when he gets around to adding "manors" and other similar things to sites. The manors and other types of elaborate homes and other buildings would presumably have good loot...and guards on patrols and whatnot. This is why I hope Toady does more site-related stuff in the next big update. Manors, Inns & Taverns, mines and other industry sites, etc, etc, and the schedules for the NPC's to actually do stuff in sites rather than just kind of faking activity as mostly happens now)

Excluding a crash, I'm having a lot of fun with the new adventure mode!

I tried a pocket sized world with a very short history, could still only play one adventurer before Calendar crashing ensued.

Are you sure it's crashing?  A medium world took 30 minutes to update on my computer.  Remember that the window stops updating during that process, so it will appear frozen (but the highlighted day will change, slowly).  If you wait, though, it will progress.

I can pick their leaves, but when I try to eat them my adventurer only licks them.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You can eat some leaves, such as spinach.  It might have been the wrong season for the fruit.

Man, once we get a few of the bug fix releases out of the way this version in adventure mode is going to be so EPIC. Its already fun even with the crashes and various janky behaviors...imagine when we can actually block stuff and enemies don't always cower in fear or run away I'll kind of miss the uber-stealth that seems to let me utterly destroy enemies even as a peasant with no sneak skills The conversation system is already AWESOME but could be 1000% improved by the ability to filter/sort in some of the sub-menu's. Also, the NPC's do get a bit spammy with repeated statements at times, that could probably be throttled back a bit.

The best part is that we now have proof that Toady can actually pull off the long term vision, we have a mostly functional ALIVE world now, even if its just the foundations at this point and even if there's a few janky behaviors to fix. The basic guts of the active world are here now and mostly working!

My wife and I (I took over a site and my companion was listed as "lady" from that point forward) were adventuring when I encountered a procedurally generated monster, which threw me around and crunched my head.

My wife did nothing.

He used a pocket world, and ran for only 5 years in worldgen, basically the quickest load you can get, id be if surprised it took more then 30 seconds.
The amount of history in worldgen, and especially world size will make it longer.
Generating a medium world... well, anything past a "small" world is a really, really bad idea.

Hrm, do you mean you were attacked by a night-creature? Or are their new monsters I've not encountered in adventure?

You can filter/sort via keyword.

I kinda attacked a night creature.

I would like to point out that severed body parts are named after the part closest to the root. The root body part is the upper body. Now that the neck is a seperate part from the head (as opposed to being a subcomponent of the head), neck-level decapitations produce a part labeled as "neck", despite the part containing the head. This is the same logic that labels a severed hand as a "right hand" rather than naming the fingers.

[FallenAngel]

Well, it's nice to know that THE KING HATES ME.
So I'm going to spit on him.
Continually.
Over the head of a gem setter.
