Here's a lengthy post:
Here's the background to the story:
Black Mercenaries: A bunch of military centaurs from a previous fortress. They are proficients.
Mod: Wiles mod. Adds stuff but doesn't change gameplay.
Me: Average joe dwarf with average stats and average equipment
Me and 3 Black Mercenaries were tasked to take down a Great Old One by a mayor of average town. We traveled to the cave, and entered the area, only to find the Great Old One waiting for us aboveground, at our spawn point. It turned out that there were a bunch of random humans loitering around the area as well for reasons unknown to us and the Old One was having a field day slaughtering them.
So, as a dutiful group of mercenaries, we charged in at the megabeast (because we didn't want him killing all of OUR prey.)

Awthrar Galelowba, Drunk has been struck down.
So far... not good. The average joe that I am, burdened under the weight of a a few tonnes of armour, am unable to even reach the creature. (I am in fact, still a few hundred meters away) My Black Mercenary friend is bashing away, but is doing no real damage whatsoever. The human civilians are down to one soul. Grrr...
On a side note, the Old One has worn a rope reed mitten as a boxing glove.

As I lumber towards the battlefield, I begin to notice just how big the creature is. At [size: 25], it towers over us all at approximately 26 meters high. I believe it is cheating as it's mass could not possibly fit in the same squares we fit in.
I also notice the Merchant's disgusting cologne as he whizzes past me.

The rest of the mercenaries (except for me) have reached the great beast and have opened a can of whoopass on the dubious foe. Unfortunately, the can is of the same "whoop" as a whoopee cushion and the tentacled monster merely laughs it off.
The merchant who is lying in a pool of his ruby-coloured water calls out to me, telling me that for a limited time only, I can buy any wagon I want today for no interest for 60 seasons and with a 1000 monies instant cash back even if the merchant's guild refuses to offer me credit.

I join the battle at last! Fear my evil being, for your time of reckoning has come! Behold as my steel curved blade mildly cuts your right wing. Fear your lack of antiseptic or bandaids and horror as you potentially suffer from infection in the future!
A shame that the merchant died. His offer was tempting. I wouldn't doubt that he is currently offering 20% off all baby products to Amak Uthralasri in the afterlife. The Black Mercenaries are now down to three and we silently mourn passing of the group dentist and spear-centaur. Our cavities rejoice.

My valiant throwing of swords seems to make no difference to the fight. My compatriots have been fought to a corner and are now huddling under their shields while occasionally poking the big toe of their opponent with their blunt blades.
I decide to bravely charge into battle while screaming the ever eternal warcry, "Blood for the Blood God!"

EGADS! My valiant attempt has backfired and the giant monster takes my sword with him (he probably doesn't realize it). My weapon is now 10 stories above ground and I am but a 1/4 story dwarf. With nothing to lose, I make a mad dash for the creature and jump as high as I can-

My shield looks quite bent out of shape. I've got an imprint of the Old One's scaley buttocks on it. While I won't doubt that it can now be sold for a good price on D-Bay to some sexual deviant (eXtreme Mature Porn... ewwwwww....), I am in the unenvious position of currently fighting a multistorey monster with a piece of aluminium foil.
Thankfull, in its bashing up of my kopis-wielding ally who is now crying for his mommy while being juggled in the air, my beloved steel blade has wriggled free of the cut in the wing and fallen by my feet.
This must be a sign from the Blood God! I grasp my blade and prepare for battle once more!

The Great Old One must not have liked me admiring nature as the callous brute knocks me over with a mighty poke of the finger. I show off my magnificent gymnastic rolling skills.
The Black Mercenaries are now down to two though. Our kopis-wielding, coffee-making friend has passed on, his corpse embedded forever entwined in the rope reed boxing glove. Oh, I shall miss your excellent javas dearly.

As I ponder where the last member of the Black Mercenaries is hiding, the being incessantly throws me around in the air. It is very difficult to spot things with all the clouds in the way, but I think I notice his leery silhouette cheering me on down below, from a kilometer away.
Mental note: this year's annual bonus is forfeited.
Looks like I have to get serious! To win this fight, I'll have to abuse a flaw in this world's design. I ready my throwing arm...

Of course, I can't forget my swords (haven't paid them off yet), so while the monster curses over its lack of skill, I search the ground.

My friend tells me that he didn't come earlier because his leg was broken and he had to fashion a makeshift splinter and bandage and thus, couldn't walk. I would be inclined to believe him if he wasn't, in fact, a centaur with four legs...
