I had a pretty cool adventure last night in a "Smaller Island" world. I had just modded in gnomes as a playable race (or at least I'm calling them gnomes - I don't know if they are consistent with anyone else's idea of a gnome). I also included a caste of "blessed gnomes", who are much larger, and (in my imagination at least) are wizards. They turned out to be really strong, thanks to me misunderstanding how size works.
Anyway, I played a blessed gnome, who was a member of "The Ill Cat". I took a bunch of quests to kill bandits, and breezed through them (many of these bandits were also gnomes, most of which are extremely weak). Finally, a human suggested I go see the lord on the other side of the mountains, to ask for a bigger quest.
On my way there, I got stopped by some bandits. In fact, this was the largest bandit group I'd ever seen. I could only assume that local gangs, hearing about my bandit-slaughtering crusade, had decided to work together and all ambush me at once. I don't know how many bandits were there, but I had gained at least 30 kills before I was unable to find any more.
Anyway, I finally made it to the lord's castle, which was made entirely out of native platinum, and talked him. He asked me to kill a minotaur who had been terrorizing the area. He said he'd be honored if I'd take some of his soldiers with him. I would have, but he had no soldiers. Just a bunch of peasants, who I (incorrectly) assumed were his children. So, I took a couple of them with me, and headed off to the labyrinth.
The minotaur was pretty tough; he killed those other guys, and tore my nose off. I tried to take him down using "gnomish energy". This was something I had modded in. It's like a magic missile, but it has a syndrome attached, which causes paralysis of the hands and legs, followed by a very long period of unconsciousness. I call it a "gnomish coma". It didn't work on the minotaur, but one of the "blasts" did manage to shatter his skull and tear his brain.
I went back to the lord, and he asked me to kill a Roc. I forgot to mention, this was the Age of the Roc. So this was a pretty huge deal. Anyway, I got a couple of soldiers, and the Roc killed both of them. However, I managed to bring down the Roc with gnomish energy, and then killed and butchered him.
To end my journey, I planned on going to the capital and killing the humans' ruler, a lizard devil (and perhaps kill the other human leaders, militaries, and civilians, to bring about the Gnomish Age). However, he was way too hard to kill, and gnomish energy didn't even affect him. After a savescumming and failing few times, I finally retired in my nation's capital, where I delivered hundreds of units of Roc meat to the starving gnomes.
