Spoiler: "Small backstory" (click to show/hide)

Well, there's 3 'main civs' on my pocket island (I like'em), 2 human civs, and a dwarven civ. There's also a 6 member elven civ (they got almost annihilated by one of the human civs).

I made dwarven char and killed a lot of folks from the elven-annihilator civ. Named Gabe.
After bringing some chaos to Humans (I dislike humans), I let Gabe rest for a while, and made another dwarven character (Altair).
This char was sent to help the other human civ, which was 'peaceful'.

I killed a minotaur for the Humans. When I returned to the human warlord to see if he needed more help, he said he was having a lot of trouble, and told me to kill Gabe Guardedmountain (my other dwarf char).

That's very funny, because I tried to shop on their city with Gabe (I didn't know how to trade), and ended up selling my steel crossbow for nothing.
I killed the shopkeeper and ran away...now they want my soul.

Altair Guardedmountain won't kill Gabe Guardedmountain, they are RP'ed brothers

After a pretty lucky fight with a red dragon (one of the world-namers in my pocket world), my victorious hammerdwarf managed to drag himself back to the dwarven fortress with a rotten spine to report his success. Alas, as soon as he spotted the king, the bastard takes off running in the other directions, soon getting out of sight. Since my character couldn't even stand let alone walk, the king got away. Probably afraid of paying me out, cheap blasted fool. Ah well, my next character is going to take his due, after the dragonslayer has retired in peace.

PS: Also from the dragon fight: I did not know you could vomit into dragonfire. I have no idea how to imagine that, but it sounds kind of... awkward.

[Greiger]

I uh...

Probably something like vomiting into a fireball.  Except the force of the flame just throws the now flaming vomit back into your face.  Sounds unpleasant.

Are you guys mostly just using 31.12 or 31.16?

I read since 31.16 adventure mode is kinda broken due to the sprawl stuff being implemented, I have just been playing .12.

Can't wait for .17, especially after reading the nice story on the front page today.

[Johuotar]

Yup, the story on front page made me drool.

I was visiting my fort sometime ago, and found legendary crossbow, but due to bug I wasn't able to take it outside the fort... 

Then I went into village and remembered that there are no shops in 31.16...

Then I spent minute hacking goblin because his shoes and cloak and whatever blocked my shots...

Can't wait for 31.17 with its adv fixes.

[Zanethda]

Stabbed to death with marmot bone arrows. By a giant scorpion. Also a random camel showed up and started kicking me. WHAT.

[Wolf Tengu]

Like I said once before, i've seen entire mountainhomes fall to a slew of legendary camels. Then some acid-spitting beaver-marmot thing crawled out of their cellar and wrecked whatever was left.

I just had my Kobod sword it to death.

[Steele]

I just downloaded DF and am trying out adventure mode as a wrestler. I've just encountered my first town and decided to attack the first NPC I met, a lye maker.
To my surprise, every other NPC in the area began beating the hell out of one another.

Wrestlers, peasants, recruits, children, and the lye maker are all going at it. I'm currently using a child to test my wrestling moves, which needless to say is having a very adverse affect on his health, what with the broken bones and gouged out eyes and all. And the vomit which I threw at him and fractured his leg with. The poor thing wasn't doing too well even before I turned my attention to him, as immediately after I attacked the lye maker a recruit grabbed him and began smacking him around a bit, apparently enraging the poor boy for all the good it did him.

I think I'm going to like this game.

Crap, I hate Giant Scorpions and Camels.
I had a similar encounter, 3 Giant Scorpions.
After I killed them, a Camel came and with only ONE KICK hit my lungs and my awesome ambusher human swordsman suffocated to his death.
The Camel became Named (forgot his name), and when I used my Dwarven Swordsman to kill a Minotaur inside a cave, I found the same Camel two levels below.
Talk about personal revenge.

I got everything on Legends, and I'm playing .12...just nice.

[Rumrusher]

wooo! finally got a adventure child.
sadly the mother is someone no from the tame set.
and now after having the kid I don't have a way to remove the child class or remove the need to kill it self.
yea?
edit: False alarm last some how was already knock up to begin with and the child father is miles away.
good news is that the adventurer couple bump up to Friends!

edit: the female Rushan Coversport born nov. 9 at 3 : 11 AM
you can get two adventures to have a child in 31.XX
now the only problems I can see from here on out is removing the Baby profession and the need to kill it self when it's not near it's mother.
time to update the adventurer breeding thread again!

[EvilFuzzy9]

I am presently playing a She-Elf swordsman who is on an unofficial quest to kill every animal she sees. I started her with Proficient in Shield-User and Armor-User, so she is pretty much untouchable so far -- not even a yeti, a sasquatch, or a grizzly bear could injure her, and those were her earliest kills!

However, what's really interesting to me right now is the combat log from her most recent mountain goat kill.  It's pretty standard at first: Character hits x in y with n tearing the a and bruising the b.  But then it gets interesting...

You stab the Mountain Goat in the throat with your larch long sword,
tearing apart the skin!
A major artery has been opened by the strike!
The Mountain Goat charges at You!
The Mountain Goat misses You!
The Mountain Goat collides with You!
You tangle together and fall over!
The Mountain Goat stands up.
The Mountain Goat gives in to pain.
The Mountain Goat falls over.
The Mountain Goat has bled to death.

... And for some reason, that strikes a chord in me.  While that goat might not have managed to wound my adventurer, it kept fighting even when its death was imminent.  Unlike the other beasts that fell unconscious and were unceremoniously hacked to bits (veeeeeeeeery slowly), this goat kept fighting 'til it was, quite simply out of blood.  Part of me likes to pretend that this goat, had it not fallen right back down, would have killed my still prone adventurer and then somehow manage to survive its mortal wound through sheer force of will to become the most  BADASS mountain goat to ever live.  (I don't care if what is shown might be slightly misleading, the point is that it sounds awesome.)

[GrizzleBridges]

Once again another legendary dwarf melted to death before Anaya Spittlehogs, The Dead Phlegms. A giant skinless elk twisted into human form.
Anaya is the Master of the local goblin civilization, and it led the last siege that defeated my best ever fortress.

I'm spending my time trying to build up legendary warriors in the wastelands of .16, then trying to defeat The Dead Phlegms. They die horribly every time.

Anaya Spittlehogs is associated with Blight...and I hate it SO MUCH!

[Max White]

My first adventure ever!
Well after a chat with the local warlord, I was told there was an area with deadly monsters close by, and tigermen train there, so that would be a great place to head, lots of fun!
After an ambush by three giant tigers, I slaughtered them all, and then checked myself over to see how many toes I had lost. Beleve it or not, for my first fight I didn't get any worse then some light brusing.
I headed back to town in search of a quest. The warlord having none, I headed to the next closest, and found that it was in fact my nations capital, and the warlord there asked me to slay a hydra.
I thought surly a hydra would be the death of me! But still, I went out towards the cave to the south east, and on approching the hdra came out to greet me, along with several trilobite buddys. None seemed to be even a match for me, as one by one I laid waste to them all. Once again I looked myself over for wounds, but nothing worse then brusing. My 16th kill was a hydra and I don't even lose a limb.
After telling the warlord how awesome I was, I decided to head out to the small dwarf society close by, and see what I could find there. I was lucky enough to come across there capital, and there queen was nice enough to tell me to kill yet another hydra.
This time I found the beast on the top of a mountain, and although this one wasn't backed by a personal guard of trilobites, it was a much tougher battle, as I kept getting tossed down the mountain side.
Still, I slaughtered the hydra, and after inspecting the wounds, found only brusing.
I'm now back at the dwarf capital, trying to find the queen to gloat about my legendary hydra killing ways.


For a first adventure I'm a little let down. With my starting equpitment and skills I was able to kill a megabeast. Is it always this easy?

A bad-ass, city-destroying humanoid elk demon? Sounds like the Canadian equivalent of Godzilla.

Awesome.

[Zanethda]

So now I'm wandering around a cavern exposed by a mountainhall, and I'm finding a lot of dead dwarves around. A lot of them have their old belongings in a pile as seen in fortress mode, all claimed by other dwarves. I'm finding OTHER items scattered around the caverns, no listed owner, no $ around them, been picking those up to sell later.

Then I start seeing random pieces of wolf leather. How odd. Polar bear leather. An *iron crossbow*. A -steel pike-... wait, why is this one covered in three pages of blood spatt-- WAIT THIS IS MY PIKE. The *crossbow*? ALSO MINE. Along with several other things I've found scattered around. And some of my other stuff, like a bronze warhammer, are just straight up gone. wtf! This makes the request from the mayor to kill an apparently badass draltha (18 kills, wat) significantly less amusing.

EDIT: ha ha I think it killed the king. Time to make a copy and check legends.
EDIT2: Nope, it killed the mayor. Then got killed by a swordsdwarf. Go figure.
