[Broseph Stalin]

Hi!

Oookay. I recall people mentioning that the AI prefers head hits unless others are easier. So, I thought that copper cap (the only thing I could afford armorwise) would be a good investment. Unfortunately, that cap was never put to the test:

The Elk charges at You!
The Elk misses You!
The Elk collides with You!
You are knocked over and tumble backward!
The Elk strikes at You but the shot is blocked!
You counterstrike!
You slash The Elk in the upper body with your -copper short sword-, tearing apart the fat!
The Elk bites You in the left foot, tearing the muscle through the brown recluse spider silk sandal!
Many nerves have been severed!
The Elk latches on firmly!
You lose hold of the brown recluse spider silk sandal.
You lose hold of the brown recluse spider silk sock.
The Elk shakes You around by the left foot and the severed part sails off in an arc!
The left foot is ripped away and remains in The Elk's grip!

Needless to say, that this combat continued only a few more rounds...

I guess, once I am done, my adventurers can get notable kills without meeting any intelligent foe (^_^;;

Yours,
Deathworks

Gauntlets, Boots, Helmet those are the biggies. One shot to any of those areas will either kill you or do irreparable damage.

Using the Adventure Mode Quickstart Guide, I got a new adventurer named Alu, or "The Wind". The first quest I got was to kill a werecreature, not too far north of here. I wasn't told WHAT kind of werecreature it was, so I was excited. I waited until a full moon, Went into the cave...
...And found a werebadger. I decided to try to infect myself, so I just stood there and did nothing as it attacked me. I blocked all his attacks, then got lucky and stabbed his foot off, then managed to cut his head off, ALL from counterattacks. Talk about anti-climatic, since the whole fight lasted only 5 or 6 turns. 

To make matters worse, I wanted to become a werebeast, so now I am making my adventure drink it's blood, hopefully giving me the curse as well.

That looks like a titan's shrine to me too.  Even better.

Of course it could be a temple, but that would be boring.

Yeah, it was a shrine. I tend to spawn on them more than lairs in civilizationless outsider starts. Unfortunately, the Titan wasn't next to the column, so I gibbed on impact.

Just about o start a game in adventure mode and find out

Decided to retire after a three day hunt through the sewers produced only a dead combination kobold-goblin gang and no amphibianman gang leader I went down to get. Mauler and an axeman I named Choppa were killed, longshot lost the use of her aiming hand, and I scored an iron Lorica Segmentata suit and a bronze Legionaire's helmet.

Hi!

My current adventurer is doing fine. For a change, I started in the other human civ and was lucky to be near a town. But it was kind of weird, right at the start, I was able to report two kills without having killed any notables - neither with that adventurer nor with her predecessors! Since I had visited a part of the sewers beforehand, I guess someone dropped dead from old age without me knowing. But still, I had no kills whatsoever.

Killing my second werebeast in human form, I find an elven corpse, wooden boots, bronze low boots and a bronze breastplate... a good thing as I find the local armor smith empty (at least I can get iron, silver and copper weapons at the weaponsmith).

And now, after three named kills and over half a dozen animals, I have again reported a kill that is neither registered in my kill list, nor anything I can think of (I had not visited any dangerous/special places ever since reporting the last of the werecreatures I killed)...

Well, with no armorsmith with metal leg protection, I guess I have to head for the next town - which is quite a bit away (^_^;;

Yours,
Deathworks

P.S.: Broseph Stalin, thank you for the advice. Boots are there and I have leather gloves now, but the rest will have to stay leather until I find a merchant with metal armor (^_^;;

I went necromancer, ended up fighting a brush titan(which basically only hurls fireballs). Well, the undead didn't die to the fire. After killing the titan, they ran to me, on fire and started me on fire, I ended up putting out the fire. Sadly, all 300 undead are on fire, running around setting everything on fire within half my screen and I have to keep running or I'll die to them wanting to cuddle me.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Wandering around in this fort shanking all the sleeping guards in the head. Aside from one or two waking up and putting up a slight fight, it's going well.

[Broseph Stalin]

I punched an elf in the head and was treated to "His Skull is Broken, His Brain is Dented" has this happened before 34? I've never hit a brain without instakill.

I got an update for The Wind. I got two followers/meatshields, then I decided to go and pillage all the lairs that I was told after spamming the surroundings button. I've killed tons of werebeasts along the way, none of them even turning as we kill them. I eventually find one of a were-chameleon (using Fear The Night), and start attacking.

...Yeah, that was a terrible idea. Turns out this guy is a pro at wrestling, as my meatshields are being annihilated by being choked. Eventually one of them lands a good hit with an iron weapon, which in turn makes the man transform into his chameleon form. My meatshield eventually dies, and then he turns his scaly head towards me. He charges, bite my hand, then completely manages to rip half of her right arm off, which is worse since that was my shield arm. I'm getting desperate as he starts to wear her down, but eventually I manage to get the upper hand, hitting him before he can hit me. I look into his description, then realize that he is weak to iron; This is terrible because the only item I have on me with iron in it is a helmet. Cue me whacking his head to pieces with an iron helm, getting good exp on misc item use. Now my adventurer is just cooling out in his old cave, trying to transform into a chameleon to grow my arm back.

First adventurer: Leave town. Did I mention I hate Goblin Hammermen?
Second adventurer: (An elf) Go kill this necromancer...
Third adventurer: Spawned on an island, drowned.
Fourth adventurer: Go kill this necromancer... I managed too, because he didn't have any undead baddies with him. Got his tablet, became a necromancer, went to a nearby town and got 38 notable kills, then left and... did I mention I hate Goblin Hammermen?
Fifth adventurer: Doing pretty well, then get killed by a Human Hammerman for a change. It's an improvement.
My next adventurer is going to be a Hammerdwarf. 

EDIT: Goblin Maceman got me. Crushing weapons and I do not mix well.

[Leafsnail]

Surely you can just fracture/sever the nerves of/cut off the limb with the hammer?  That could be like your top priority after removing the legs.

Started as a new adventurerer, human outsider. Tossed my dagger for an Iron shield I got form what I assume was a goblin adventurer, and I am locked in battle with  werecreature dorf. I've ripped his ears and nose off, and am bashing out all his teeth with my shield.

Is this wrong of me wishing I could make a necklace from his teeth and hat from his beard?

[FortKiller]

Threw Human 1's lower body at Human 2 and decapitated him. Threw that Human 2's corpse at Human 3 and jammed his ribs through his lung. Human 3 walks up to me and I hit his head with an iron whip, killing him. Changed profession to corpse thrower

[Paramatter]

Playing in a Civ Forge world, got tasked to kill a violet xelic in some catacombs...  I thought I had found them underneath the town keep, but I guess I was wrong as all I found in whatever I was exploring were a bunch of chaos dwarves in the upper levels.  Further down I found a solitary chaos dwarf skeleton lying around before several rooms of absolutely nothing...  Not sure where to look, now.   

Edit:  Found them...  And it turns out that the target and another named xelic along with some marksbugs and three unnamed sword/axe wielders are basically camping right beneath a floor grate and whenever I try sneaking down it and then going back up to get more room to maneuver...  One or two might follow me up but the others all stand around so that I can't go back down the floor grate (Unless I were on the ground, but that would be suicide.)
