Never read this one before. Truly epic.

Thanks to the original creator of the thread and those who have necroed it over the years to keep the tale alive.

Hey OP, dost thou still live-eth?

[Pirate Bob]

Does anyone know if the wiki is accurate in its claim that Tholtig holds "the known record for elves (or any sentient warrior) slain by a single dwarf in any mode of the game".  While Tholtig is amazingly epic, it seems like some adventurer likely would have surpassed this total (although maybe it would be hard to generate a world with enough "sentient warriors")? 

It would be rather easy (although not at all epic an quite boring) to surpass this total in the Arena.  Inspired by reading of Tholtig, I killed over 400 elves with a dwarf in the arena, and I can't see any obstacle to killing a few thousand other than getting bored.  I guess it's possible that the dwarf could get drowsy?  I'm not sure if that can happen in the arena, but it hasn't been a problem yet.  Even if that can happen, one could use a vampire/necromancer to prevent it.

So anyhow, is there any record of kills above Tholtig's most impressive total?

There have been world-gen figures with higher overall kill counts, but I don't know of any with higher elf-specific kill counts.

Also, because I've only just now posted in this thread, nice archaeology Darkflagrance, I love the writeup and all the forum art as well.

[Fleeting Frames]

Well, "other than getting bored" is not small obstacle at all, depending on scale of task. United States got bored of moon landings, for instance. But if I were to try to surpass, I'd try the initial worldgen parameters that created Tholtig with small variations, or alternatively create 1 dark goblin fortress surrounded by 100 elven ones.

The Legend of Tholtig Cryptbrain: An Epic of Bloodshed, Despair, and Glory: The Movie

Now this would be epic. A little sad ending perhaps, but that's how epics usually are. Or something. It would easily topple lotr. xD

A sci-fi adaptaion would topple the Klingons!

NECROOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This would make a good movie.
