The only reason you would play an elf is to eat sapients and start wars.

Also, I finally killed the giant bat that slaughtered 7 of my fairly recent immigrants. Every single time I needed my guards to kill it, they were having a synchronised drinking or sleeping session. Oh well, this is why I embarked on a terrifying mountain with a 7 embark tile (six in one column) chasm.

Also note: I had to remove the [BENIGN] tag from the giant bats, as my soldiers had decided that it wasn't a threat even as it was killing a peasant. The thing seriously injured two of my accomplished wrestlers while 6 of them were stacking up on it for crying out loud.

Random question:

If you play an elf in adventure mode, are you allowed to eat your kills?  You should be!

Apparently, the "disgust" reaction is hardcoded...

for now.

But apparently, while you can't drink blood or vomit, you can drink vomitous blood. Can't remember where the thread is, but I'll link it when I find it.

I honestly couldn't find a better thread to put this in.

My first announcement upon beginning a new adventure was "Giant Toad slams into an obstacle!"

Odd...

Can't be arsed to read through whole thread to see if this is here...

Adventurers can be stricken by melancholy.

I haven't worked out why yet, but when it happens you're always drowsy (i tried sleeping it off many times), your speed is killed, you get a flashing blue ! symbol over you like fortress mode, but you can still control your character.

When I walked next to a pond it automatically JUMPED ME IN and I drowned.  :o

I know I did not jump into the pool as I would have had to alt enter it.

Wha-

I've never read of that happening before. I'm going to make myself as miserable as possible just to try. So awesome.

It's in the Wiki:

Quote from: DF Wiki
In Adventure Mode, it is possible to have your adventurer become stark raving mad, this can be caused by extreme drowsiness. When this happens, your adventurer will be able to fall off cliffs without using the ALT-key, and possibly won't be able to swim during this state. Other than that, nothing really else happens, and the effect goes away when you travel on the world map.

I was playing the no fast travel challenge, so no way for me to shake it off...

Kind of sad, because I couldn't sleep until I found food or water. You can't go to bed hungry because your adventurer will starve in their sleep, and you can't eat vermin until you are STARVING. I hope that gets changed eventually.

The thing is, we usually go crazy and randomly and start killing townsfolk. Often with their own clothing, children, and the occasional burning wolf corpse.
