[Limul Thak]

Captain Morul would need a theme song; it has to mention crumpets. It. Has. To.

[Lemnx]

I have an idea. Cut off all of their limbs and make beards able to fight.

THAT - is a true fight.

The highlights

A few final showdowns.

Martin wanted Ironblood to fight with a hammer, so I did that.  Here's the results:

Any battle that ends with the loser being thrown away results  in body parts scattering across the map. Unless stated otherwise, the winner was unharmed.

Round 1: The Captain (one hit)
Round 2: Morul
Round 3: The Captain
Round 4: The Captain
Round 5: The Captain
Round 6: The Captain (one hit)
Round 7: The Captain
Round 8: The Captain
Round 9: Morul
Round 10: Morul

The results really aren't any different, statistically.  The Captain won 8 fights with the axe and only 7 fights with the hammer, but the important thing to note is that, just like the fights with the axe, these ended in 3 or 4 hits most of the time, and the victor never took damage.


Finally, I put both dwarves in full adamantine gear:  Exceptional or masterwork platemail, greaves, gauntlets, shields, low boots, helms, and weapons.  Let the ultimate battles begin!

Round 10: The Captain

Stay tuned!  Next time Ironblood and Morul singlehandedly take on HFS!

[Christes]

What kind of HFS?  SoF I hope.

[QuakeIV]

I love this, ironblood vs morul, than ironblood and morul vs the hfs. It would probably look like about 300 kittens attacking two titans.

Kittens are cat-children.  The two titans would be murdered.  It's more like a bunch of Rhesus Maquaqes vs. two Bronze Colossi.

It is SoF indeed, my friend.

Perhaps he means if 300 kittens ACTUALLY attacked a titan, not if it happened in DF terms. Well, provided the "real" titan. Anyway, cats have the same damage factor as carp (1-6, compared to a dwarf's 1-2). And if that weren't enough, the fact that there were exactly 300 (as opposed to a puny 299 or 301) would surely enact "The 300 Principal".

THIS

KITTENS!



In other news, the HFS battles aren't going so well.  SoF are tough motherfuckers.

[Sensei]

Heh...

Morul and Ironblood vs HFS

For this encounter, I really tried to outfit both combatants in masterwork gear, but the odds of it happening even with a level 100 weapon/armorsmith are surprisingly low.  They went into combat with masterwork weapons and some masterwork armor.

Round 1:  Defeat:  Captain was killed, Morul broke his toe and decided to rest (dumbass).
Score: Ironblood 2, Morul 6

Round 2: Defeat: Captain and Morul bit the flaming dust after trying to fight 6 SoF at once
Score: Ironblood 0, Morul 3

Round 3: Defeat. Morul died after the Captain retreated, following a mangled arm.  The Captain jumped back into combat after some "quick healing," where he was killed by some SoF firebreath.
Score: Ironblood 1, Morul 6

Round 4: Defeat. Things went well until the Captain stepped straight into a fireball, which broke or mangled important limbs.  Morul kept going until he was set on fire and forced to retreat.
Score: Ironblood 3, Morul 8

Round 5: Defeat. Morul and Ironblood each killed a number of demons, but accumulated brown wounds so they ran back to their beds to rest.  A little "quick healing" put them right back in the game.  A few more SoF showed up and eventually managed to hit Ironblood with a fireball, which disabled him totally and completely.  Morul kept fighting, but a minor injury caused him to retreat.
Score: Ironblood 4, Morul 2

From what I've been seeing, the problem with this fight lies in the fact that Dwarves will retreat from SoF if they take any injury whatsoever, so even a dwarf as tough as Morul just starts running if his toe gets bruised.

Highlights

[Christes]

So Morul does better agianst the SoF on average?  That's interesting.

[Strife26]

Get them crossbows. And war kittens.

[crash2455]

So Morul does better agianst the SoF on average?  That's interesting.

Well, he has 6 more agility than the Captain, and nearly double the toughness, so he dodges more often, and his wounds are only brown instead of red.  The only thing that seems to get him is his pants lighting on fire.

Get them crossbows. And war kittens.

I was considering that, since Morul is a legendary marksdwarf, but the Captain has almost no skill with the crossbow.  Maybe I'll try that as a third fallback.  On the other thread, Martin suggested putting in some locked doors so that The Captain and Morul don't try to escape when they get light wounds.

Also, as awesome as war kittens would be, I have nary a cat on this map.

Then douse them both with water beforehand.  Or remove extraneous clothing.
