The legendary adventure of Fikod Olinduthnur
« on: July 09, 2014, 07:07:01 pm »

Behold Fikod Olinduthnur, champion amongst the dwarves, let me regale you with tales of his exploits

To the east of Distanceglaze, a modest dwarven hillocks was lying the ruins of what was once a proud fortress named Inkpartner, Fikod Olinduthnur in his early heroic years heard the villagers telling about how good the treasures investigation of the place would help their cause.



And so Fikod generously walked on their behalf to that place of doom, he walked through the mountains , he walked around the animals, he walked until he reached the fortress



Climbing the walls would have been a great challenge noble Fikod thought, but in his early years Fikod wasn't yet known as the "Miraculous Climber", and decided it wasn't time to tempt the fate in frivolous exploits.



With his immense courage Fikod Olinduthnur decided to enter by the main gate , ready to face any fallen guardians and other ghosts of this dark past. But to his surprise there was only silence, the place was empty, excepted for a curiously still standing Trade Depot



Time to dive into the depth of the fortress, scaling the stairs Fikod found that the interior was gigantic, the dwarves had worked a lot to build such an enormous fort.

  -

Several depths, several floors , Fikod thought himself lost several times, as you must remember it was before the night Fikod would be known as the "Pathfinding Master" .

But Fikod Olinduthnur was rather puzzled by a detail, where were all the treasure evidences of the dwarven lost existences that built the once proud Inkpartner ?
This titanic place was not only devoid of life and ghost, but it was entirely empty, except for some remnant of the workshops, and a magma smelter.

Frustrated by being unable to find any treasure memento of the dwarven ingenious spirit, Fikod decided to explore it all to see if he missed anything.

Until he found in a dark corner of fortress a living nightmare .





The forgotten beast Vimara ! that is known in the common language as Vimara Crabshore the Ugly Clam. Fikod Olinduthnur was still unseen due to his prodigious abilities, the beast seemed to be distracted by the sight of the dwarven workshops.
Maybe thinking about the terrifying error it did by provoking the wrath of heroes like Fikod Olinduthnur.

Honor commanded that Fikod shouted his name, the name of his weapon and then battled the beast in singular combat, but it was a time in which Fikod was not yet know as the "Vanguard of Honor".
Using his ambushing ability instead of announcing his presence, Fikod decided to sneak behind the strong monster and used his axe to dispense justice over the creature.



This wasn't yet the era in which Fikod would be known as the "Breaker of Mountains" , his arms power weren't yet at the level of the day he would be called the "Strength without Equal" .
So the treacherous beast scales were entirely impervious to the fantastic strikes of Fikod trusted axe.

At some point Fikod understood that he would just be wasting his life for nothing, better live to fight another day for more glory than die in a forsaken location far from everything. Honor commanded that Fikod would run away from the creature.

You need to remember it was a summer of strange reality, in which monsters and warriors weren't really caring about being hurt or even killed, it was known as "One of the Bugs of the New Release" , so the forgotten beast just never even tried to retaliate, it didn't even turned around to look at the hero.

Fikod Olinduthnur was a modest warrior in his heart, one that does not brag about his heroic actions, but he knew that the villager needed to hear about his legend to understand the peril of Inkspartner.

And the reaction of the villagers was of an incredible enthousiasm, happyness and joy filled the air, Fikod was their champion !

I'm pretty sure even the "breaker of mountains" couldn't pierce those scales with a fuckin' silver battle axe.
Maybe he should've upgraded to copper or bronze.

It's a reverse hostage situation, if you kill the snatchers they'll fill your fort with babies.

Dwarves can have any weapons-grade metal between copper and steel. Let's assume Fikod didn't know that silver was as dull as all heck.
He could've tried using the flat, though; he'd probably bruise the skull.

I did something similar, but with a spear. Stabbed it like 200 time, broke every one. Finally I took out my dagger and slashed it neck, it died a few turns later.

Not only Fikod did not manage to hurt the gigantic beast, but it seems the creature did not even notice Fikod's nibbling on its scales.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
