THE RIVER OF DEATH
« on: April 04, 2009, 08:03:17 pm »

Kso, there is this town, Lancepeak, that has a wide river cutting through the middle of the town. The town seems like a pretty dangerous place to live not because I have gotten 5 megabeast quests from it alone, but because of the wide river running through it.

If you don't understand this tileset, all those fish up at the top are carp. And I believe a couple of them are named. I never pass through this town without someone dying from some fish attack, so how can I get rid of the carp menace and save the town?

 Sword? Bah! Use a blunt weapon and make sure those fish strike eachother as you bat them into the air!

I had an underground pool of death once. There was a lot of lizardmen and frogmen, but like, 4 cave crocodiles and a school of carp. My legendary miner/axedwarf took out all the cave crocodiles, and a lot of the crap before dying.

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

Well I went and and killed a bunch of lampreys, but the carp swam off before I could get to them.

I chased the bastards a region away into a large lake where they scattered. It keeps the townspeople safe for now, so I'm going to go train swimming for the next encounter.

EDIT:

It seems my adventuring days are over.

I suppose it is good that I survived all this and managed to get back to town safely, but it is still kinda sad.

I would do that, except the river is the coolest part of the town, and it would be more time consuming. Also, I noticed that the carp haven't come back yet.

Did the carp do that to your adventurer? If they did, I will once and for all finally believe that they are as dangerous as people say they are.
