I made a jumping spider woman adventurer and went on to slay goblins. Slayed a creature of the night along the way, came to a hamlet, and 'enrolled' into being a hearthperson with the local lady.

As I was entering the little structure the lady lived and worked in, a small herd of stray cats followed after me, and were milling around, head-bumping and licking as me and the lady talked about my exploits. Then, the dialogue wrapped up, I asked the lady for any work to be done, and then descended down the nearby hatch to look for useful items. And then I heard this conversation unfolding.

A particular epithet seems fitting here. :P

Aside from that, my character having "superjumping spider woman agility" amuses me to no end. :)

I just had a really intense argument with a lord over the value of cunning.
"I do admire a clever trap."
"While I cannot agree fully on a slight technicality, I must say that is a truly insightful observation!"
"I sense you're wavering. I do admire a clever trap."
"I don't know what to say."
"I must insist. I do admire a clever trap."
"I don't know what to say."
"No, I mean it. I do admire a clever trap."
"I don't know what to say."
"I must insist. I do admire a clever trap."
"You should keep your weird thoughts to yourself."
"I must insist. I do admire a clever trap."
"You know, I think you're right."
Truly this new argument system is incredibly in-depth.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

This is the reason I so enjoy arguing the value of cunning, in the current version. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that funny.

"Who do these mealy-mouthed think they're trying to impress" is also quite amusing.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

It was inevitable.

It's for the best.

It must be stopped by all means we have at our disposal.

Though I  cannot agree fully on a slight technicality, I confess your stunning argument overwhelms me!
