It's interesting that they think you're a murderer after killing bandits they asked you to kill. How odd. Also, "I attacked me" pfft.

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

From what I have heard, this is quite a common glitch in 40.24.

Also, "I attacked me" pfft.
That brought humor to such a grizzly and danger-filled day of bandit killing.

"I attacked me."
I have this image in my head of Evhol being a particularly inbred redneck, and that this sort of statement is par for the course for her.
Really liking this so far, awesome way to interpret all the hiccups the game currently has.

Thanks, mate. I think Evhol is probably the town idiot (or at least vying for the position). All of those villagers are useless anyway—they made do all the dirty work alone and labelled me a murderer for doing it.

23th of Granite 175
   It was raining hard, but I was so numb from all the killing (forty-one dwarves at this point) that I could have hardly cared. For breakfast, I found large male panda. I spotted a lair at first light and decided to investigate what might be dwelling inside of it. A coati watched me from a tall pear tree as I ventured inside the den. To my chagrin, nothing but sand and clay lay in the cave. I was tired so I decided to wait for the creature by napping for half a dozen hours. Nothing came, so I assumed that it belonged to the coati in the tree or that it was vacant.
   A little after leaving the lair, I got ambushed by a couple elves who refused to cease. I obliged them with a fight. Neither were up to par with my mettle and had to withdraw. I let them retreat. However, one of them was audibly suffocated by his injuries which he sustained during the quick skirmish. I made the elf (despite his treachery against me) a hero's pyre. Moments later, his friend returned and tried to kill me with his wooden arrows. Seeing grief in his eyes, I chocked him out and left him alive in the forest.
   Venturing a little further, I stumbled upon a dragon's lair. I immediately recognized her as the infamous Nëlas (Zesoltar Otilsirab) Brandedgilds the Jade Warmth, carved on many walls and spoken about in many stories throughout the Sizzling Confederacy. In the Furnace of Taxing, the ancient name of her lair, I slew the prehistoric beast, gathered her treasure (many coins of gold, silver, and copper), put her corpse on my back, and picked up her two eggs to safeguard. I knew that Ravenallied would be a perfect resting site for the old girl and her eggs.

Oh man, are you gonna post the coin descriptions? I wouldn't mind seeing them myself.
Any idea as to why the elves would attack you? Seems kind of weird that they'd ambush you at random.

Pegging elves to knock them out of a tree in the most awesome way possible besides using elf corpses?

Not really. They'll be ornaments for the mead hall. They have no dad or mom anymore, so they won't hatch.

Darn. Y'know, I look forward to dragons being able to take over civs and such, end up worshiped as gods, that kind of thing.

The front side of a coin from Nëlas' lair.

Amxu is surrounded by the goblins, this commemorates the ascension of Amxu to the position of Lord in year 2, right?

It commemorates Amxu Profaneblade's ascension to master of the Fiery Vice in 138. Very close. Coincidentally, it turns out he was killed by a Sasquatch at a place called Suducedpoison (Amxustozu). Goes to show, don't tempt fate by visiting a place bearing your name.
