[Judas Maccabeus]

..Yep.  Sounds about right.  I think we can safely say Cacame is the best elf to have ever been born now.

Mind, that's not very tough competition, but still.

[Neruz]

I am curious as to the game reason for his apparant invulnerability though; by all accounts that Dragons should have plastered him all over the walls, and without armor he should be dying left right and center.

I'm wondering if the fact that he's a 'pet' is responsible.



Also, that title is incredibly apt, acame is exactly what it says on the tin; an Immortal Onslaught.

[Holy Mittens]

Well, he does have a Mithril shield, though from watching his skill gains, he's not needing to use it often (his shield skill is increasing, but not that fast). Beyond that, I have to imagine the actual, game reasons are:
A) the mithril hammer, which probably lets him kill most things in one hit
B) most of the enemies he's fought (save the dragon) being the survivors of already-broken sieges and ambushes, with the occasional captured thief, meaning most are trying to escape rather than fight,
C) the innate elf speed bonus, meaning he gets the first strike,
D) his being a size larger than the mostly-goblins he's been killing so far, and
E) the fact that, despite him being only a Competent (Skilled now) Hammer User, he's mainly fighting pretty much untrained enemies.

It could be related to him being considered a "pet", though he still does require food and drink and goes and gets them himself, unlike real pets. And my real pets get killed plenty, as the frequent Elf ambushes prove (they've killed dozens of war animals).

I'm waiting for another MegaBeast to show up, just to see if I can get him to kill another.

[Wolfius]

He's prolly also blessed by the RNG.

[Vester]

Mittens, your Baroness Consort really does seem like she's insane. Reserved and outgoing, assertive and shy, self-disciplined and impulsive. I suspect she secretly lusts after Cacame and reviles him for being an elf, too. 

I looked back at the screenshot of Athel's (the Baroness Consort) thought screen, and it turns out she seems to like warhammers.



There is something going on there.

EDIT: She doesn't have a beard, I know.

[Mephansteras]

EDIT: She doesn't have a beard, I know.

That's ok, according to Toady Vanilla DF females don't have beards anyway.

[Judas Maccabeus]

and it turns out she seems to like warhammers.

If you know what I mean.

[Rowanas]

Yeah, she likes huge things that large dwarves swing around their heads and beat goblins to death with...

If you know what I mean.

[Sensei]

LARGE DWARVES

[Rowanas]

Larger than the average dwarf.

EDIT: Urist Mcyogi is larger than the average dwarf!

[Shima]

And Cacame is alot larger than the average Dwarf.  Oh ho, that's some kind of joke!   

[Sensei]

Come on, please don't tell em this epic thread about the only epic elf is going to suddenly degrade into penis jokes because Vester drew him conversing with a girl...

[Wolfius]

EDIT: She doesn't have a beard, I know.

She's obviously a perverted social deviant, as can only be expected from inbred nobility. Everyone knows that all dwarves, even females, have beards, and this should be taken as a sign of deeper problems and a fundamentally disturbed individual.

Probably an elf sympathiser, too; I think we all know what must be done.

I agree 100%.

[Vester]

Come on, please don't tell em this epic thread about the only epic elf is going to suddenly degrade into penis jokes because Vester drew him conversing with a girl...

Oooops.

Don't worry, someone will come along soon and draw something !MANLY!.

[Holy Mittens]

If someone wants to draw something !MANLY!, I did just use Dwarf Companion to turn a few of the elf and goblin females I had caught in cage traps into members of my civ. I figured they have succumbed to his Immortal Onslaught, ifyouknowwhatimean. So now he has a cadre of elf and goblin female guards/worshippers. If I can get the humans to siege again, I'll capture some of them too.
