Much better to aim for the face.

[Haskel]

True, as I learned next turn. Managed to decapitate him, but the chipped lower leg bone handicapped my character and let two lashers take care of him.

[Random_Dragon]

Ah, lashers. Bane of everything except undead.

[Haskel]

Damn contact area/velocity combo.

[Random_Dragon]

Yep. I've instakilled demons with it, but...not zombies.

Too bad it's also less than ideal against hydrae. They go through goblin adventurers like popcorn. ;w;

EDIT: FFFF-

The Dragon bites you in the thorax and the injured part is torn apart!
An artery has been opened by the attack!
You have been struck down.

[Haskel]

Strange. In older versions, (untested in this one) I used to hit zombies once, anywhere, on any part of their body, with a whip, and they'd just go down. I didn't really understand.

[Random_Dragon]

In DF2012, right?

DF2014 lacks that delicious HP system for undead. Headshots from a whip are good for chipping the skull and braining the target, but for the new pulping damage, contact area is a good thing. Out of all the blunt weapons I tested, the whip performed the worst. If I recall I THINK it was the flail and warhammer that did best.

[Haskel]

Damn. I just made a lasher, and there's a necro tower right next to my starting position. Wish I'd have known ;-;

[Random_Dragon]

It should still work decently against vampire though. See? Castlevania got it right. o3o

[Haskel]

Good thing I then hired three macemen \o/

[Skribbblie]

I beat a Tiger Woman Recruit unconscious so I could suck her blood, and did so. Then I thought I should give her the nickname "Désolée", and then I decided to knock out all of her teeth to make her more recognizable.

Then I realized something odd about her.

She's kinda... got two extra thumbs, and four extra fingers. For some reason. Is this natural? Am I missing something?

[Random_Dragon]

DF has figured out how to make anthropomorphic polydactyl cats? D:

DF has figured out how to make anthropomorphic polydactyl cats? D:

It was inevitable.

[Random_Dragon]

It is terrifying.

Meanwhile in my efforts to assemble a posse of kobold bandits, I infiltrate the nearby half-ruined hillock to inquire about any skulking vermin valiant robin-hood types.

Well, guess that explains why you're busy drowning your sorrows even harder than the average dorf. Poor guy...er wait, gal. :V

EDIT: Having found no evidence of future comrades in the dwarven sphere of influence, I decided to travel north to a human hamlet. Exited fast travel to cross a river...pack of dingos right behind me. ;w;

EDIT 2: Huehuehue. Since I exited in stealth, only one noticed me. No, bad pup.

EDIT 3: Meh. I can take this town without a posse. Claimed the site and slew the lady ruling it. And then made a figurine of a kobold out of her teeth.

Companions seem more given to bravery when you have a small Rumrusher warband. Maybe that's just more chances for positive reactions to "insert creature name," but when you only travel with two there's generally just flight.

Here there's just 6 of us. Funny thing is the swordswoman makes her fifth notable kill, earns her name, and then just vaunts. Yes, it's just a bear, but I've never seen such enthusiasm from the likes of someone:

And then the pure finality whose seriousness is for once not laughable as it would have been in the snark of the real world:
