I've been having a blast. Had so much fun I registered just so I could talk about it!
The first attempt I melted after entering a keep in search of a deer demon that was supposed to live somewhere in the town. Fingers crossed that was due to the acid rain bug, because I don't like deer demons that melt me
Second attempt (after disabling weather) I got incredibly lucky in my first fight which was against an ettin. zmy water had started off as ice, so I threw that at the ettin, and missed. Then I somehow managed to avoid getting violently ripped apart which somehow boosted my wrestling up to professional from unskilled in one move. Then I eventually managed to take down the ettin by breaking about 100 different things in its body, fun times! Also, there was plenty of beer and wine and spirits lying around in puddles, so at least I won't die of thirst now.
After returning victoriously to town, I had enough prestige or fame or whatever it is to convince a hammerman, Sitsu Fancygifts and a macewoman, Asi Drummedsink. Decided to head to the next town, where Monal was offered a job to kill a giant who'd supposedly killed 39 people. Ooookay. Decided to try the next town after that, and was given the task of killing a giant in the same place who'd killed 61 people.
Tried my luck, second giant killed was Mr 61, Sitsu got his arm broken so I acquired a slightly nicer shield and Asi became a legendary wrestler who unfortunately got smashed in the ribs, punctured lung, had trouble breathing but was too stubborn to die. Pity, because she has really nice boots.
I decided to go back to town to brag and got told to kill yet another giant, in the same cave AGAIN, only this one has killed 96 people. No problem. I'm thinking they're just exaggerating these numbers anyway to make the giants seem more fearsome than they actually are, because I haven't been turned into paste yet.
Picked up a hammerwoman, Tiquo Siegerounded, and went back to the giant cave to look for the other two. Asi was still there and looking much healthier so she came along too. Well, I found the one that'd killed 39 people, and I'm not sure exactly how I survived, because previous experience has told me that Bleeding and Pale blinking at you and passing out twice while fighting a giant is usually fatal. I guess if there was ever a useful meatshield though, it's a legendary wrestler.
Continuing further downward after putting all my organs and such back together, I eventually came to an underground cavern area, where most of the loot from over a thousand years of giant pillaging seems to be piled up. There's literally 2-3 items in every square of the area the giants live in.
I've just noticed that I have a couple of battle scars which seem fairly permanent, which is pretty cool. A broken nose (the cartilage is apparently smashed apart and infected) that is slightly worrying, I hope that doesn't turn out to be fatal. Also, a torn artery in the right ankle muscle, which seems fairly harmless, for now anyway.
So that's where I'm at, trying to find some giant who's killed 96 dudes so I can whack him, while trying not to fall over from all the loot I'm carrying, and wondering if there's any way to fix my nose or ankle up.
