[Shook]

So like, i made a new adventurer; an axedorf. He started out by wiping several bandit camps singlehandedly, though one of the humies broke his hand by biting and shaking. His face got kicked in. Now, Dorf McAxelord is wielding a shield and axe in one hand, destroying all opposition entirely. Night beast? One hit bisection. Glass titan? Head shattered over the course of several turns. Goblin warcamp with elite crossbowman leader? Got eviscerated so badly that half of them fled, due to a martial trance, which had sent many heads flying. Juvenile dragon? Feet broken, dozens of futile body blows (axe sucks against large scales :c), throat hacked by axe, bled out. ALL WITH ONE HAND. I'm starting to like this guy.

My best adventurer is human swordsman and isn't able to use one hand, too. Even with this severe disability, he became Legendary swordsman. After reading your story, I started to wonder if losing a hand really makes adventurers stronger.

Could be. I mean, instead of getting one shield arm and one sword arm, you get one giant mongo-swordshield arm of death!

Biofeedback effect.

I went to a bandit camp, pinched this guy's testicles and phallus off, killed him, killed their leader and left.
That was fun.

Playing Genesis, I just started an Ilithid adventurer with the last name "Sheensevers".  I immediately changed his first name to "Charlie", and am now looking for a tiger.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in some hellish glacier and I can't find anything but mammoths.

Shift+T is your answer

Ah. No. DF counts standing on a glacier as like standing in the middle of a sea. So no Shift-T.

oh, right.

try just taping a key down like i do when swimming across oceans

I've made an adventurer specifically to slay the titan population of the world (which is to say, approx. 17 titans. Let's just say civilization hasn't fared well here). Currently training him up in terrifying lands, and loving the humorously horrifying creatures there.

My human just got his pinky bitten off by a rabid maceman, whom I was in the middle of beating the shit out of. He started running away, I picked up my pinky and threw it at him (left a bruise) and gave chase. I lost him in the forest, and on my way back to the camp he jumped me out of nowhere and proceeded to beat the ever living shit out of me. I died with a mace in my brain.

EDIT:
Another adventurer shows up and got into an epic fight with the ringleader, after a narrow battle the same maceman comes out of nowhere and bashed my head in. Again.

My entire starting civ has no quests.  So I decided to become a hunter.  I go out, zoom in on some random bit of terrain, and chase down and kill some unfortunate bit of wildlife.

Then I butcher the corpse, pick up all the meaty bits and go back to town and sell it.  Thanks to some adventure mode reactions I put in I can even craft some stuff out of the bones and leather to sell.  And my sword now menaces with spikes of two humped camel bone when I tested out my new improvements reactions.

Watch my brain get kicked through my skull within 3 days by a camel.

EDIT: Close, I took on a hippo when I by rights shouldn't have even been trying to.  My 2 companions both got their brains kicked out.(good riddance, can't sneak with them scaring away the wildlife) but I managed to take down the hippo only with severe briusing.  Yay hippo meat for all!

EDIT2: Ah there we go, a camel saw me sneaking and decided to tramble me a bit before kicking me in the head.  I so called it.  Hippo bone helmets do not protect from hooves.

Was fighting a elf lasher bandit when he decided to flee. I go after him, but he is faster and is running away...then a Salt Water Crocodile bit him in half.

edit: Then two crocodiles came after me and I led them to the bandit camp, where they chewed more bandits.

[Qinetix]

A bullet bolt to the heart , ugh thats a good crossbowman , or just a very lucky elf , REVENGE

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lookie here, some pointy-eared jerks made themselves into a band and seem quite angry at us disturbing their little party. Oh, there'll be blood and vomit tonight!

(as it turned out, elf wrestlers are tough like bogeymen <_<)

[Shook]

Reminds me of today, where i jumped into a camp of ~40 bandits (humies and elves) on my own. They all died, despite them having like 8 archers, which only managed to nail me twice; once puncturing my dwarven liver (oh god no), and once bruising my leg (HOLY SHIT MAN I GOT MY THIGH BRUISED I AM GOING TO DIE NOW). Leading causes of death were decapitation, bisection and bleeding. (in other words, all possible deaths in melee combat except suffocation)
Oh, and this was also with my one-handed dorfturbine, which further cements the belief of one-handedness equalling awesome.

[avantgardisauruss]

And now... Atil paddlezeisures is dead. He couldnt fight off an ambush of 20 gobbos.
His prisoner-party sadly died with him, but before his death he punktured a goblins head with a tin ladle.

[Angel Of Death]

I just stabbed an orc emporer in the upper body, tearing the liver and tore out her fangs while she was passed out. She soon passed out again after waking up. I then proceeded to rip off her breasts by biting them. I'm imagining that they had a titillating taste.

Ahhh... Brutality. Where would we be without it?
