Heh, neat stories so far.  Couldn't stop laughing at a few.

A quick, brutal story of Dark, the human Ninja:

Dark beats people up, then strangles them.  He usually tries to work quick and painlessly.  He was sent to kill a pesky minotaur.

Dark went to the minotaur's cave, beating people up, and strangling them to end their pain (out of mercy, of course).

Then, Dark got double-teamed by a mudman and the minotaur.  Poor Dark got beat up and had to run away.

Dark got revenge--literally knocked the mudman's head off.  The furious ninja then proceeded to break every bone in the minotaur's body with joint locks, ripped out it's eyes, punched it a few times and ripped a few limbs off, and then strangled it with a snakeman corpse (don't ask me how, I write what I see), and left it to die.  It got woke up, critically wounded and ready to die, but was promptly beaten into the beyond by the same snakeman corpse.  Dark then lived on to strangle others, as well.

Lesson:  That poor minotaur should *NOT* have double teamed and beat up a ninja with wrestling skills.

This probably counts more as "brutal" than "grousome," but it was the most shocking so far.

"Bloodclaw" the Defender was a Mighty, Extremely Agile, Unbelievably Tough warrior.  His skill in shield use was legendary, and he was a master of both wrestling and swordsmanship.  He had attained enough wealth to get the best equipment around.  After many adventures and countless battles, Bloodclaw met his fate in midsummer of 1052.

Someone in the capital city Landslunches sent him too kill a Swordmaster in an evil fort called Flygrowth.  Bloodclaw had never been sent to kill a weaponmaster before, and was ignorant of the danger of his current quest.

Days of travel later, Bloodclaw stormed his way into the fort, slaying any who attacked him.  He set goblins flying left and right (many of them one piece at a time).  From one hammer-user, he stole a maul, and used it to knock goblins into other goblins.  Another goblin, he hacked into its face; ripping up the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and throat, and sending him flying through the hallway, entirely in one blow.

Bodies piled, more than he could count, and yet the target of his quest was nowhere among them.  Bloodclaw was completely unscathed through it all, and ready for a real battle.  Finally, from a starcase, descended a human, wielding a superior-quality longsword, backed by superior-quality equipment.  This was definitely his target.

Bloodclaw, finally facing a formidable opponent, began to think tactically.  "This swordmaster definitely has more skill with the sword than I do," he though.  "But is he as good at wrestling?"

The plan was to grab the swordmaster's right arm, lock it, and break it, rendering him relatively harmless.  Might have worked too--we'll never know.

Bloodclaw reached for the master's upper arm, but the master avoided the move, and countered by charging into him.  The two tumbled, the swordmaster stood over him, and all hope was lost.

Bloodclaw scrambled away as the swordmaster took one hack past Bloodclaw's superior-quality shield, his finely-crafted platemail, his exceptional chainmail, his exceptional leggings, into his lower body.  Blood poured freely from the gaping wound, creating pools of blood below the two warriors.

Bloodclaw struggled to stand, only to be tackled immediately down again.  Another slash past all of his expensive, well-trained, hard-earned defenses, through his lower body, and Bloodclaw was cut entirely in half.

With two slashes, the swordmaster of Flygrowth brutally cut a legendary warrior in twain.

[Keiseth]

Holy crap. Bloodclaw did NOT have a fun time. I noted, however, grabbing the enemy's weapon with a hand (if available) and then hitting "I"  then the letter of the weapon, then "Gain Poesession" seems to work well. Then throw the stolen weapon at them!

I can't fully recall one of my best tales right now, but one character had slain their way through dark fortresses, caves, ruins all escaping from any bad situation or destroying everybody.

Harpy snuck up one night. Just one. Went to stab it, but she got a talon through the chest. Heart was pierced all the way through; heavy bleeding and pain for one turn and dead the next. The Harpy got ONE hit in and that was it.

[arocoun]

Well, I've read stories of people trying to steal weapons from weaponmasters, failing miserably, and being cut down in the attempt.

I don't know why, but I love stories of warriors able to take down forts and towns singlehandedly, dieing because of one lucky shot from a weak, usually-harmless creature.  I guess it's because it shows that luck can build up or bring down ANYONE.

[Exasperation]

I just had an interesting fight against a giant.  My second quest with a new adventurer (human swordsman), so he wasn't at the slaughter-everything-easily stage yet, and was only wearing starting equipment.  Plus, I've decided that recruiting allies is more annoying than helpful, so it was just him.

The fight goes on for a while, with my adventurer dodging pretty much everything, but the giant only sustaining bruises and minor cuts, and then *wham*, my sword arm gets broken.
In a fit of pique, I grab my sword off the ground and throw it at the giant.  It hits him in the head, knocking him unconscious.  While he's out, I break his elbows and shoulders.  He wakes up while I'm strangling him...but not for long.

[AshleyB]

I took a drunk along with me in my adventures, which is never a truly good idea.

An even worse idea was to name his class 'Fodder'

Needless to say, we went underground into a cave, and me and my more competent team-mates began slaying Batmen and Rats. Eventually, we came across a cyclops.

The first thing the cyclops did was grab the poor drunkard by the leg, and procede to pulverise him while my comrades' weapons bounced ineffectually off him. A few seconds later, the cyclops had torn out the poor guys eyes and let go of him, leaving the poor guy stumbling around before shattering his legs.

We managed to slay the cyclops before the drunkard died, but he was in bad shape and we had to leave him. My remaining companions left the ruins with me, and a few steps later we were treated to a wonderfully in-depth description about how a Batman came over and tore off his arms, his broken legs, and finally his throat, leaving him a bloody, vomiting mess.

I felt really bad for leaving him there, but at least he died relatively quickly rather then just letting him lay there eyeless and stunned. Sniff.

Exasperation--Nice save!  Your story makes me wonder if swords are meant to be ranged weapons.  Wait, what am I saying, EVERYTHING is meant to be a ranged weapon:  butterflies, rocks, swords, mittens, and occassionally even arrows and bolts.

AshleyB--Ouch!  Poor drunk!

[Keiseth]

Exasperation, the SAME thing just happened to me! Sort of! I was really, really upset because my current adventurer recruited one of my other adventurers and she got struck down by a cave crocodile. While I'm tracking this monster down a giant makes himself known.

Bad idea. Although the concept of getting killed before getting revenge on this thing IS troubling, so I started the fight by throwing an iron scimitar at him. Quote Baldur's Gate II: "I lob my scimitar at you!"

Smacks him in the face and knocks him out. Four limbs flying through the air later, the battle was done.

[Dwarmin]

[Fleeb]

A truly fowl end.

[Keiseth]

"Gobble gobble, *****!" o_O Dear god.

[Khain]

How does a turkey summon the intelligence to strangle someone...? By the way this may sound silly but Im yet to discover how to gouge someone/thing's eyes out. Do I grab their head or what?

[Hellzon]

Yes, grab the head with a hand (You don't have one free if you use weapon+shield.) and the option to gouge eyes should be there the next round.

That spear in the Kobold Bowmans head at the end was perfect.
