My last adventurer stabbed a spider in the heart, it killed him, and then bled to death.

It was fairly epic.

[Doler 12]

Lol the same thing happend to me

[Tyrving]

My last adventurer waded through a goblin fort will little difficulty, bought a nice set of gear from various nearby towns, then set off to kill an ettin. I find the cave, me and my spearcatchers descend...

Cave spider. The bastard grabs my highly-armored swordsman and TEARS HIM IN HALF IN ONE SHAKE. I now must make a fortress and build an arena to stock with these engines of death. One giant cave spider vs 10 goblins, tonight on Dwarven Colosseum!

I just cant bloody kill them! I've been sending a steady number of adventurers inside the same cave but everyone gets killed by Lockfog the giant cave spider. I even had a dwarf wrestler gouge both his eyes out before it gutted him, but the loss of vision doesnt slow him down one bit. I AM going to kill him though, mark my words.

Actually that isn't true. If you strangle a non-undead continuously, it is similar to twisting a stuckin weapon. The opponent will bleed to death from it. Basically strangling suffocates them for a relatively quick death.

I have found this incredibly useful against foes that are hard to damage which I get in lucky hits that knock them unconcious.

For example, I had a hammerman knock a dragon unconcious once after a long battle of doing absolutely no damage, and then I simply grabbed its throat and strangled it until it died. It would have been a MUCH longer fight still if I hadn't done so, and with my charred leg I might even have lost.

This is the result of my second run-in with Cavespiders. The first time I randomly entered a zone on a whim and was quickly devoured. I must say that I prefered the second death for sheer awesomeness. Wish I could figure out how to do that in wrestling.

I made Ogres a playable race.  Gave them size 14 and was having a pretty good time killing everything(and I mean everything) in one swipe of my axe.  All that size 14 did for me against cave spiders was to generate 5 pages of combat spam before it killed me.

Yeah Cave Spiders are way way too tough I had a team of 3 drunks and an axe man I was carrying a sword a shield and some armor I was going to kill an axe lord when I ran into one cave spider it quickly mauled down 3 of my drunks taking minimal damage I was attacking it from around the corner as my men were devoured. When my slow axe man got there it was too late the drunks were dead the axe man ran in and killed the spider he was feeling a little numb then another cave spider came It webbed me in all of the previous confusion I managed to lose my sword I smashed the spider with my shield to no avail my axe man managed to help me fight off this one also but I was sick from the poison If I moved I would passout for several turns I tried to move and when I awoke there was another spider my axe man was standing beside me now for the weired part I attempted to go to the T (fast travel) screen and it worked even though a spider was about to chow down on my corps several levels underground. I went to a city and I was still passing out I couldn't even eat or drink without passing out I rested for 16 hours and when I awoke there were people standing around me I figured I was a goner the sleep did not help one bit most of my body had grey damage so I used T and went to a goblin fortress and went to sleep I awoke with a spear through my head.

I've managed to train up a legendary lasher who is unbelivably tough and extremley strong, a proficient armor user and a adept wrestler, with this guy I will go to the cave Lockfog resides and I WILL kill the bastard

[Doler 12]

This is not funny. Four yes four freaking cave spiders tried to eat my poor dwarf at the same time. The also got a ironman as there buddy. Atleast i wacked one and the second got his freaking heart pierced.

[mineditall]

dunno where you go to train your adventurer but maybe find some new land to profit?

if cavespiders are so dangerous perhaps think of killing more zombies solo and frogmens

i can manage to take out an entire human village with a fresh adventurer.. usually by stealing high quality weapons
i think the great axe is the better weapon to use if you are human

hmm, ive not had much trouble surviving since the new z-layers
previously i couldnt get my adventurer going more than an hour before he was often choked

yes choking is the best method to kill a monster
simple 3 step process
grab throat with ** arm
choke with ** arm
repeat choke infinite

but its more fun to break all their legs and arms

ive not yet had a legendary adventurer
although... ive had one studded in masterful quality steel plate armors

trouble with wooded areas is the line of sight, it dramatically lowers your frame rate

sleeping is my big problem
i get 4 or 9 fps
making the sleep take about 5-10 minutes
rather snoozable it is

whereas it should really only take 20-30 seconds or less

hmm..... time to continue my adventure character

oh wait... yes
i did destroy that town
atleast the mayor survived

[Skeeblix]

Maybe if Toady ever fixes random ambushes and wildlife encounters on the travel map, we'll be able to kill small defenseless things for a little bit of extra edge in battle against the nasty ones that really do some damage.

[uberubert]

One of my earlier adventures ended badly... I *finally* was able to render a giant unconcious! I kept hitting him with my hammer, breaking limb by limb. Rebreaking limbs, and bruising his head. ... Battering his legs, and mangling his arms... Must have spent about 30-40 turns trying to kill him! Then a cave spider shows up, spends 3-4 turns killing my last drunk while I desperately try to finish off the giant.. Then the spider casually webs me, and rips me in 5 pieces....

I checked the legends, and (If i read them right) it said the giant was mortally wounded!   woohoo! My first questkill! Now if I could just find that spider....

[aeroue]

Was so funny i walked round this corner and had left my "friends" behind a bit. I froze knowing I was about to die then...
