EDIT: It's a turkey leather backpack full of body parts; either Mokun Cosmosclean or Weenie should have it in their inventory. Whoops, looks like I left it in Mokun's inventory and forgot to hand it to Weenie along with the slab 
.
Went back and decided to hook you up with what was in there, err most of it.
But yeah, I think you're in for a uhh... Well, OKAY. So theres good news and bad news.
The good news is you're a
whatever you are now. And you will undoubtedly strike terror into the hearts of mortal men, and likely undead too for that matter. I mean you are
REALLY SCARY. The bad news is that we experienced a few very minor complications during one of the procedures. And a couple of the demon rats that were infused into your brain matter, to control your thoughts, may have escaped, likely through one of your skull holes. Which may have slightly impacted the functionality of certain particular sensory organs.
...You have did holes in your skull prior to undergoing the procedure, didn't you? I wouldn't worry about it too much, we will get that fixed up for you in a jiffy. However, the extra service fees are going to cost you.
Dearly, I might add.Honestly, we don't expect that you'll be able to collect honey pots for us anytime soon, what with your hands, and the beautiful, unique, and horrifying state you're now currently in. So we'll have to work out an individualized payment plan for you.
Ha, you know, ha, if I'm being honest here with you for a moment, completely honest, if I were in your shoes? And I woke up looking like how you do now, I would probably just run toward the nearest living thing and kill it. And you know, start making those bubbling lobster sounds (or whatever it is you do). But hey, we figure this might just work to your advantage, considering your uhh... "circumstances."
Look, you're big, mean, intimidating, and possibly able to put together thoughts of a semi-coherent nature, so we have a proposition.
Whispering to the hulking monstrosity, "Ya see, we got a little job for ya'"
"We wants you to sneak into the Museums and makes off with whatever fancy artifacts you can get your slimy tendrils on. Just bust a few skulls, and grab whatever loot you can find. And make your ways back to camps Honeyhammer, capeesh?"
"We didn't gives you no preemo' monster juice job so you could sits there daydreamin' about eatin' squirrels.
Look, you bring us an artifact, and we fix up that nogin of yours, you understand?
You up for letting out some grotesque bio-horror infused rage ain't cha? Then get goin'. And if you f*ck with us, or try fleein' out over into dem hills, we'll find you, and we do... we'll put you into that bee cellar with the rest of dem schlubs who couldn't afford to pay off none of their monster-horror correction surprise surgeries."
(God damn bio-freak mutant amateurs.) ---------------------------------------
Not sure where the accent came from, it just sort of happened.
Anyway, we polished up Honeyhammer, gathered a couple henchmen. Demonstrated for QB the limit by which there are fates worse than death, and notably which ones specifically are the most entertaining for necromancers and nefarious ghouls. Speaking of ghouls, happened across some lawmaker and his wife, who were like... eating live deer in a ravine? Anyway, they're dead now. Well, I mean they were undead when we found them. But QB should have a pretty good idea where their skulls are located, heh heh.
We did lose a considerable amount of time with this turn though. I think 3.5 hours total. And thats not just wandering around time, 2.5 of those hours were single tile advfort base construction micro, which, I'm actually not that mad about, strangely (I'm not really sure why) I guess its because we got the main broad strokes down, and thats enough for me. We did have one structural collapse at the tower during its construction (probably because I'm an idiot) and I had to redo 24% of the floor on 7z levels, and we lost a couple caged prisoners during that collapse as well. (*_* ) Alas, their tortured wails and screams will be sorely missed.
Oh, btw QB. We almost died right at the start lol. Like, just as we started traveling we got ambushed by like 11 dingo men. And we were both pretty encumbered, I'm missing an arm, our equipment sucked. And you kept RAISING INTELLIGENT DINGO MEN! We almost bit the big one right at the very start lol.
Other close calls included the night troll children massacre, where I had to leave the last one alive, due to my last arm giving out and being unable to wield my axe. Had to call it a day and get those skulls back to base. A kick to the penultimate night creature's skull caved it in, so we were free to stumble our way out burlap sack full of corpse parts. But yeah, theres one left in there.
I also found a populated goblin camp, and the first enemy I came across was a spear master, and I totally forgot how nooby my adventurer is in terms of weapon skill. So it was a little close, but eventually we bit into their unprotected left leg with the ol' axe, and once they were unable to walk, it was just down hill from there for them. Looked up the npc's history and their notable kills include one of Bralbaard's first npc companions, from year 200 or something, and notably they killed a Sasquatch. So vengeance is yours buddy.
There are several weapon (and possibly trap weapons) that have been grafted onto QB's body parts as well, one of which includes that spear master's personal weapon, and these grafted item instances be used as actual weapons in melee combat (do to be careful with these though, because its pretty easy to accidentally drop them when managing your inventory, as they are not "sewn") don't want you comin' back to me and pullin that one scene from Edward Scizzorhands.
I'm just about done with the turn and will have the save hosted tomorrow probably.
I've taken a number of screenshots and stuff thus far, but I think it might just be better for the turn to speak for itself after I upload it.
But I mean it when I say that things were getting a little hairy with that goblin spear-master though. I almost didn't make it through that. (named the character for reference later) But yeah, this could've been bad lol.
Edit: fixed errors, added some details, etc.
