I was fighting skeletons and undead in a ruin, and we're up to our ears in them. Me and my pals are going to work on a skeleton, hacking off an arm and smashing toes and such, when I land a good hit on his upper torso, which sends him flying back into a pillar. I have one rock left. There's only one square between us, but I decide to throw the rock instead of stepping to him, and by some luck I manage to hit him in the upper torso! It explodes in gore! That was the most awesome combo I've seen.
A short while later, my adventurer decides to play golf with his spear. He whacks a zombie to a few squares away. *walk walk walk walk* "Four!" Whacks him again, sends him flying across the ruin, like ten squares or something. unfortunately he died from that one...but I suppose that's par for the course.
Eventually I got swarmed and my guys were dying off, so I run for it, leaving my spear behind. Of course when I get back to town, there are no spears to be had...I can't find a spear anywhere. I end up using a mace, which I have zero skill with, but at least they don't get stuck. How do you guys deal with losing your weapon of choice?
Then with some fresh mea- er, new friends, I head back to finally kill the big bad guy in the ruins (which two leaders have asked me to kill). It's been two days since first coming to the ruin, but when I arrive one of the drunks from the first battle is still fighting a zombie who has bitten his leg off. And this drunk bites back, which is really gross when you think about it but I guess either he's still drunk, or delirious from the pain, or maybe really desperate. How is he still alive after two days of nonstop wrestling/getting battered?
Eventually everyone dies except the single fellow dwarf I brought with me, an axedwarf, so we team up and we are unstoppable. We easily clean up the rest of the ruins, what had taken me and a couple dozen helpers several tries. Not even a scratch on us...and the way we take out enemies as a team is seriously incredible, it's like he knows how I'm going to move and covers my back and everything. Now we've mostly cleared out the underground, but still haven't found the damn quest monster. The quest continues...
I love this game.
