I created a dwarven adventurer, explored a bit. The dwarves in my starting location said there had been abductions and bone-chilling horror from some necromancer’s tower. I managed to find my way through the tunnels thanks to fast travel (which I used to escape the fortress I started in). Now the tunnel was slightly open to the caverns, but for some reason they were covered in a layer of mud, rather than soil. Eventually I got to an exit to the surface. There were a bunch of dwarves in a trade depot in an extremely large fortification, and I left into the snow.
I found some dwarven hillocks with a civic mound, where I found the mayor. The mayor said there had been an abduction a few years ago, but there were beasts attacking, and there was also bone-chilling horror. He said the necromancer’s tower was to the North-west, so I headed off in that direction. I meet a goblin thief on the way, who said he was travelling to a dwarven fortress where he had an employment opportunity. I took the chance spread a few rumours about abductions. He said it was terrifying.
Night falls. I try sleeping in the trees, but keep waking up on the ground. Eventually I try sleeping on the ground, but I wake up to find a wrestling troll beating up dingos. The troll said he hates me. He was also terrified by the number of abductions though.
I leave the area and manage to sleep until dawn. While attempting to obtain food from a shrub though (I heard this is possible?) the game crashed, without any saves. Well ****, at least I can start over.
