My latest adventurers have mostly been sociopathic elven wrestles. Who gouge out some human shopkeepers eyes, break his legs, break his arms, switch combat mode to strike and pummel them until either they die or the wrestler passes out from exhaustion.

In my defence, half of those people had at least two pages worth of elf bone and leather crafts.

Are you considered sociopathic when you kill another species? :/

If they can talk, maybe.

Not sure if this counts, but I've been playing a lizardman slave that stole some armor and escaped his captors, and has recently become a legendary wrestler, through the strategy of "Grab head, throw by head, gouge eyes, tear apart with natural attacks."  I'm currently walking around with two giant tarantula chunks and a giant mantis's wing in my mouth.

I love the whole magic non-dimentional space inside of the cheeks thing creatures have going.  I once made a playable demon that would bite of chunks of people constantly and then he'd use their chunks as projectile weapons on their allies.  I like to picture him spitting them rabid fire to the sound of a machine gun like some cartoon character.

If killing stuff is crazy, I don't want to be sane!

Err ... in-game that is ... heh.

My head just got spat out by a skeletal hippo. If that's not a finishing move, I'd like to know what is.

My adventurer has been on a string of epicness lately, I expect something horribly anticlimactic to bring an end to him.

Immediately following that I killed a vampire... WITH MY BARE HANDS.

Once my uber awesome adventurer was fighting a pack of wolves when his long sword got stuck in a wolf that started to run away. He killed the other wolves without noticing the runing wolf had his sword and chased after it. Sadly he was weighted down with tons of heads from slain creatues and couldn't keep up. So he threw a scimitar at the wolf which was already a long ways away and decapitated him with it. I was in shock because this adventurer only had one eye and no throwing experience. I got very lucky that day =]

Scimitars tend to be more pointy than heads, excluding unicorn heads of course.

I figure that sort of thing is caused by splintered ribs.


Or maybe you just have really sharp knuckles.

I fought a goblin high priestess on the upper levels of a "represents Mountains" temple, bashing her so hard with my hammer that she flew off the temple and OVER and adjacent dark tower, on top of which was her father, the elite goblin macelord, and the demon civilization ruler.  She landed about 75 tiles away.

The goblins didn't like me too much after that.  So I had to kill them all.  ;D

I snuck up on a goblin priestess during a ceremony where the demon was in the main temple chamber.  Several priests were lined up on the catwalk surrounding the main area, including the priestess.

I noticed the priestess had a golden handgun (shooter mod), and I didn't particularly feel like having her blow my head off.  When I got up to her (she was non-hostile, so I could get right up), I snatched her quiver and dumped all the bullets she had in it.  She immediately turned on me and hit me a good one with the butt of her gun, and with the help of another priest they managed to throw me to the floor.

As they were trying to finish me off (I already had a ruptured liver and a rather swollen eye, among other injuries) big bad daddy demon comes flying up and launches a fireball at me, incinerating my leg.  This guy has been a thorn in the side of my civilization for ages, which is exactly why I'm here.

With a bit of luck, I managed to get my arm free and plugged the bastard in the upper body.  Just after firing the shot, the priestess caved in my chest with her gun.

But she was too late.  When the dust settled, the demon was lying on the ground and bleeding to death.  Lungs, heart and liver.  My job was done.

As was my career.
