Post your awesome fights!
« on: April 09, 2008, 06:16:00 pm »

I don't think we have a thread like this... this is a thread to post that really cool fight you had that you'd love to share with everybody.  Some guidelines:

-Put the gamelog in code tags
-Edit out background stuff.  No one cares about the carp killing the peasants half a mile away.
-Try not to let them get too long.  If the fight was really long, consider cutting out the less interesting parts.
-The more epic, the better!

With that, I give you my favorite recent fight, Rismal Pointyonion VS the Giant Cave spider:

code:

You begin sneaking.
You've been spotted!
The giant cave spider shoots out thick strands of webbing!
You are caught up in the web!
You fall over.
The giant cave spider bites You in the right lower arm!
The shot glances away.

That is epic. Was the adventurer anything less than a maxed out legendary swordsman?

Actually, he was only talented or something at swords, so it was a really close fight.  He was legendary wrestler and proficient shield user, so he could block/dodge okay, but if I hadn't gotten in that lucky shot, I probably would have been ripped to pieces while I was paralyzed.

Well, the epic fight did not involve me...

But I had an espisode in my last game where I wondered back to my Dwarf town and found a bunch of drunks in a pitched battle with.... goats.  The goats were easily kicking the drunks' asses until some peasant woman showed up and killed all the goats with a massive display of punching skill.

I almost thought she was done for when the hoary marmots showed up and decided that they sided with the goats, but when she killed the last goat she strangled all the marmots as well.

It was kinda hot, really.

You lie on the ground.
You have bled to death.  

I was already badly injured when this happened, so don't go pointing fingers and saying that my adventurer had pancake armour.

Your thumb, right hand has been mangled again!
The demon bashes You in the upper body with his narrow Rope reed leggings!
It collapses into a lump of gore!
You have been struck down.

So, in summary, a goblin god-demon threw fire at me and then beat me to death with the pants of the only person he bragged about killing.  Which was the last adventurer.  Seems like one of those clown demons that none of the other demons like to hang out with.  Still evil and murderous though.

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.)

code:
The Black Mercenary charges at The great old one!
The Black Mercenary bashes The great old one in the head with her +ョ-Steel maul-ッ+!
The shot glances away.
The Black Mercenary collides with The great old one!
The Black Mercenary is knocked over!
The great old one bashes The Merchant in the right hand with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is mangled!
The Merchant loses hold of the small partridge leather trousers.
The great old one bashes The Merchant in the right hand with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is mangled!
The great old one bashes The Merchant in the left lower arm with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is mangled!
The great old one bashes The Merchant in the left lower arm with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is mangled!
The Black Mercenary hacks at The great old one in the lower body with his Steel war axe!
The shot glances away.
The Black Mercenary attacks The great old one but It jumps away!
The great old one strikes at The Black Mercenary but the shot is parried!
The Black Mercenary counterstrikes!
The Black Mercenary bashes The great old one in the left claw with her +ョ-Steel maul-ッ+!
It is bruised!
The great old one's thumb, left claw has been badly bruised!
The great old one's first finger, left claw has been badly bruised!
The great old one's third finger, left claw has been badly bruised!
The great old one's fourth finger, left claw has been badly bruised!
The Drunk regains consciousness.
The Black Mercenary hacks at The great old one in the right arm with his Steel war axe!
The shot glances away.
The great old one strikes at The Black Mercenary but the shot is parried!
The Black Mercenary counterstrikes!
The Black Mercenary bashes The great old one in the left leg with her +ョ-Steel maul-ッ+!
The shot glances away.
The great old one bashes The Drunk in the head with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The Drunk is propelled away by the force of the blow!
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.

code:

The Black Mercenary stands up.
The great old one bashes The Merchant in the right lower arm with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is battered!
The Black Mercenary misses The great old one!
The great old one bashes The Merchant in the head with its Rope reed left mitten!
It is mangled!
The Merchant is propelled away by the force of the blow!

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.

code:

The Black Mercenary attacks The great old one but It jumps away!
The Black Mercenary charges at The great old one!
The great old one looks surprised by the ferocity of The Black Mercenary's onslaught!
The Black Mercenary bashes The great old one in the right arm with her +ョ-Steel maul-ッ+!
It is bruised!
The Black Mercenary collides with The great old one!
The Black Mercenary is knocked over!
The Black Mercenary stands up.
The great old one charges at The Black Mercenary!
The great old one strikes at The Black Mercenary but the shot is parried!
The great old one collides with The Black Mercenary!
The Black Mercenary is knocked over and tumbles backward!
The great old one strikes at The Black Mercenary but the shot is blocked!
The Black Mercenary hacks at The great old one in the lower body with her Steel kopis!
The shot glances away.
The Black Mercenary hacks at The great old one in the lower body from behind with his Steel war axe!
The shot glances away.

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.

code:

Nebo Shasttolbistkash, Merchant has bled to death.
The great old one bashes The Black Mercenary in the lower body with its Rope reed left mitten!
It explodes in gore!
The Black Mercenary is propelled away by the force of the blow!

The great old one collides with The Black Mercenary!
The Black Mercenary is knocked over and tumbles backward!
The spinning Steel kopis strikes The great old one in the right wing from the side!
It is cut!

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!"

code:

You hack at The great old one in the first left tentacle from behind with your Steel kopis!
It is cut!
The Steel kopis has lodged firmly in the wound!
The great old one charges at You!
The great old one strikes at You but the shot is blocked!
The great old one collides with You!
You've lost possession of the Steel kopis.

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-

code:

You are knocked over and tumble backward!
The great old one strikes at You but the shot is blocked!

You pick up the Steel kopis and put it in your Hemp backpack.

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!

As I watch my ally get thrown and beaten about, I decide to instead spend the time observing a honey bee pollinating flowers. What a wonderful marvel nature is.

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...

I now learn that it is inherently impossible for a creature whose fingers are but 6 inches long can't strangle another whose throat is 20 meters wide, no matter which pressure point I press. My lessons in Chinese acupunture and ninja training go unused for now.

Lucky break! The vile creation of hell fudges his 999 hit air juggling combo and I hit solid earth. I then make like an elf and prepare a hasty exit!

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.

Every day I ponder why I must drop my existing equipment to equip new ones. I try just picking up the new weapons with a free hand, but some part of my body just forbids me from doing so.

Uh oh, the great creature has come to his senses and proceeds towards my tiny figure. Am I doomed? Shall I be squished by the rope reed mitten? Ah, how I wish now that I didn't drop out of lyemaker school. Mother always told me to find a good job and a good fortress to settle in.

But what's that? Up on the horizon! Is it a bird? Is it an elephant? No! It's-

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...

As I stand by the sidelines preparing the evening tea (a calming blend of chamomile along with some choice baked goods I picked from the merchant's mule), I query my teammate as to what he is doing. He replies that he is attempting to start a fire inside the beast and burn it from the inside out.

There is much cheering to be had as we successfully strike down the beast in a most honourable and mighty fashion! We loot the belongings of our fallen teammates as well as the civilians (giant cave spider silk thong! OH YEAH baby!) and drag the toenail of the Old One back to the town mayor as proof of our success.

Embedded weapons are even cheaper than thrown weapons.  I found the humor mildly entertaining until "Our cavities rejoiced", this struck me as hilarious, for some reason.  Also, a dwarf with six-inch fingers?  The image evoked by that statement was incredibly disturbing.

Erm, I meant to say 6 inches from tip of finger to palm. Sorry if it came out wrong.

I don't have a battle-log, but the situation just made it epic.

So I had a macedwarf, who after getting some decent stats I named a Paladin. On his way to a goblin tower, he came across two upright pikes with the corpses of old adventures on them. This was the first time I discovered this, so I was blown away by that.
So the first building I saw was the temple. The first enemy? The High-priest. His corpse exploded into gore on an engraving of a demon, so I had high spirits for this adventurer. After clearing one tower and beginning on the second of the three, I came across a macelord. After a battle involving slamming a goblin drunk into the guy halfway across the room and throwing the weapons of the goblin guards at him before a fight that left my dwarf exhausted, I got a VERY nice mace.

So naturally, I had my dwarf climb the tower to the demon. This was it. This was greatness. I wished the tower had open edges so that I had the possibility of bashing the demon off the tower. And what do you know, he appears like clockwork on the top. This was going to be epic.

Then, a goblin guard with a spear got a lucky shot from behind.

Wow. That was some character. I was particularly sure to find the legends of this guy in Legend Mode.

Now to make an even BETTER character to beat the demon and gain a crazy history.

I don't have any proof of this one this time, but you'll have to take my word for it.

Basically, I've been tossing adventurer after adventurer at a very highly populated goblin stronghold complete with a few macelords and a demon. I ahve yet to actually meet the demon as the sheer number of goblins will overwhelm me every time I try to approach the temple.

This time, the very same macelord who killed 4 of my previous adventurers was sitting around playing a game of scrabble with his fellow goblins and my very sneaky adventurer saw this as a golden opportunity to bash him to death with obsidian rocks.

So I started pelting him with rocks, but every single one just bounced off his armour. I completely failed to notice a passing goblin peasant who tripped over my very sneaky adventurer and sounded the alarm. Soon, I was again completely surrounded by 20 or so goblins and had been fought into a literal corner. My back was against a tree and I was surrounded by 20 very angry goblins.

I knew I was dead by now as I was only a lasher and lashers aren't built for crowd control. I set fire to the tree behind me hoping that my body will at least cremate itself and not be fouled by this scene.

The goblins began to beat my poor adventurer to pieces and laughed at her corpse. All 20 of them, including the macelord then converged on that very spot my adventurer died to probably urinate on her corpse.

Since you can see what happens post mortem, I knew that something awesome was going to happen now. Remember the fire? The smoke began to obscure everything and for a few turns, looks like nothing happened. Then all of a sudden, random goblins started running in all directions... BURNING! Smoke was spewing everywhere and it looked like a mass Olympic torch relay. The goblins ran to other goblins who then caught fire as well and all across my post-morterm screen, burning goblins were running left and right.

Revenge is sweet!

In one of the last versions i made a lasher... started with easy cave kill-this-and-that missions. Later on i went to goblin strongholds and kicked ass, lashing eyes and throats out left and right. Went all the way up the Lash-Ranks and had loads of fun... didn't even get exhausted anymore. until a demon ended it all.
Lashing lvls quite fast btw, as you start of needing like 500 hits to kill the weakest thing you can possibly find.

With my Adventurers so far, i've only had two different endings. either i die to the first thing i meet, be it a ratman or a giant cave swallow, or i become mighty and chop loads of monsters and goblins to pieces before losing my life to a random demon. Once even to a Demon DRUNK. WTF, really.
How do you kill Demons?   :mad:
