This was as epic as it was hilarious. Definitely keep at it with this adventurer. His story thus far really is the stuff of legends. Just the part where you stumbled completely unknowingly into a vault would have been great on it's own. You not only managed to survive the experience, you strait up nabbed the slab and then dragged your busted, broken, bleeding body and divine treasure back out of the vault using your one remaining functional arm. This on it's own is am epic story for the ages. Everything else that happens with this adventurer beyond this point is gravy. Truly this adventurer will carve a name for himself that will be sung of by the bards for generations.
It's a shame the clown had already fallen, although the fact it fell to the same Roc that took out your earlier adventures is just an amazing coincidence in and of itself and just makes the story that much cooler. This Roc certainly is your true Nemesis. Gather some powerful followers and hone your skills then show the vile beast the error it made in messing with you.
Edit: You asked about candy earlier. Just in case you hadn't figured it out yet, "candy" is another one of those terms like "clown" that gets used to describe spoiler stuff. You cannot find candy as an Adventurer. It is something that can only be found in fortress mode by those who dare to delve too greedily and too deep. If you don't want to go the crazy and very round about path of building a fortress to make yourself some elf sized armor you can go look for elves that have joined other societies and loot them of their gear. At the very least you might want to consider picking up a good battle axe and shield. If you are going to be stuck without proper armor then a shield will help tremendously.
