I've been wondering for a while about this, ever since someone mentioned killing a previously retired adventurer with a new one somewhere on this board.

Since it's possible to find retired adventurers, would it be possible to form a squad of adventurers entirely out of retirees?

Mwhahahaha. Grandpa the axedwarf, Ol' achey bones the champion...

I didn't mean ancient.

Although, that would also be awesome. A badass 220+ year old dwarf with a white beard and a huge axe.

YES YOU CAN.

[Vester]

YES YOU CAN.

Really? Have you tried? I'm eager to form a marauding squad of zombie hunting adventurers.

I, personally, have formed a squad of adventurers by creating a bunch of them and retiring them in one town. They're actually easier to recruit than the NPC ones.

I can see the possibilities. Imagine how hard it would be to stop a bunch of crossbow-armed adventurers *shudder*.

I may have to generate a new world filled with gobbos and semimegabeasts just to compensate.

If you're extremely patient and can train them all up to legendary in a few stats then you'll be nigh invincible.


Expect to lose one or two every time you raid a major city though, thanks to the bowmen.

Well, that's a given.

The only problem I can see with building your squad out of crossbow adventurers is that after the first one or two city lootings, they'll be all out of ammo and too stupid to pick some up off the ground. I guess the solution to this is when you're training your crossbowman buy them like 1000 bolts, but will they keep them for their adventure with you?

I did this once, me and an old adventurer went to slaughter a capital city, which was about 10,000 years old. We walk in and start slaughtering, killing every thing that dares approach us. My companion gets an arrow in the knee and gets knocked down, but continues to fight. He smacks a hammerman so hard that the hammer man slams into me and breaks my right arm, making me drop my shield. We keep fighting, back to back now, and are still doing quite well. An elite crossbowman comes into view (apparently he couldn't see us because of a tree so he actually got really close) and I huck my sword at him, decapitating the bastard. There are way to many people for me to even attempt to go and retrieve my sword, but I do manage disarm a guard and get his.

This goes on for a little while until another arrow just tears right through my partner's stomach. He starts vomiting everywhere, still fighting by the way, until another arrow hits his heart. He managed to kill two more people before he bled out. After that I fought as best I could with only one arm, taking dozens of nonfatal wounds before someone jammed their spear in my gut. Mortally wounded, I managed to drag myself over and light a nearby tree on fire. The fire spread over me and onto my dead friend's clothing. I died after that but went back to find that the fire had consumed most of the citizens.

I gathered up the bones of my fallen incarnations and used their skulls to beat the remaining villagers to death. Then, my quest complete, I dropped the bones around me in a circle (ok it was a square) and lit the ground I was on on fire. I Joined my other incarnations, to wait for the day Armok would call to me again.

The fire was the clever part; you must have been so tough to take a spear and still ignite the tree.

After hitting your 4th or 5th legendary there's nothing that will drop you short of brain smashing. Everything that used to insta-kill you now only causes a mortal wound (ok, not much difference) but gives you the chance to take one last person/city with you.
