That is fucking glorious. You clearly need to build an epic tomb in the wilderness for that dorf, or maybe on a volcano.
Meanwhile, got sick of the local lord telling me to assassinate animal-people rulers, and ventured off in search of a town with a tavern. I'm in some some sort of animal-persion town that grew big enough to build a tavern. Full of bat men, reptile men, cave swallow men, even dwarves. Aside from finding two with writing about boring stuff, not much to do for now but wait for someone to perform.
EDIT: And while passing the time, a dwarven child started reciting a poem I tested earlier, called Reputation God-forsaken. I'm a bad influence! D:
EDIT: Alright then. Finally a chance to do some good around here. While I was lollygagging about, it seems bandits were harrassing people in the street. Tracked them to a little north of the streets, where they stopped me. They didn't turn hostile on sight, indeed one of them actually greeted me as they closed in.
He'd "rather not say" what his profession is, but when I asked about their leader he ousted himself. I'm surrounded, and neither of us has started anything yet. Perfect.
I focused on the two ranged bandits, disarming them easily. As I've done nothing but grab them, they only seem to consider this a brawl. After backpedaling I respond to an incoming punch by breaking the offending goblin's wrist, provoking the swordsgoblins into drawing their weapons.
But as I happily demonstrate, I can do much worse. I haven't even drawn my axe yet, so far just relying on my shield and a free hand. And in but a moment, all four of them are crippled in this way. Last time I had someone in a neck crank, it was against the guard of a local lord I was told to assassinate, and the smart bastard yielded before I needed to hurt him anymore than I already had. But this time, justice demands snapped spines.
I draw my axe at last, tell them of the "animals" I put down, told of the wild child (read, werebeast) I forced myself to put down, and of the last group of brigands to cause trouble.
