My appropriately named dwarven demi-god Urist WorthyStandards managed to wipe out no less than five goblin gangs, slay a mate of some gloom horror, or whatever that anorexic cowering in a small cave was, and finally, when being worshiped as a hero and savior far and near, he managed to assemble a sizable party of 15 men-at-arms, and fulfilled a quest of a local noble to slay 1000 years old hydra. To be honest, Urist did not charge the beast as a valiant example of bravery, no, his health was not what it used to be after losing the ability to use his left hand, so he let his fresh recruits the privilege of the front line. After the beast mangled a few of his over-eager henchmen, it was already menacing with a forest of crossbow bolts. One lucky shot severed its spine, and after the beast lost its ability to retaliate, Urist, observed the combat from a safe distance, stopped pillaging the riches of the hydra's lair, and began lashing the abomination with his custom-made silver whip, decorated by pictures of narrow crests, cave crocodiles and coal necklaces. Worthy standards finally prevailed, but when the cheering party of the surviving heroes started their journey back to the noble's fortress, already picturing themselves as wealthy and respected members of the local society, they were suddenly ambushed by a goblin patrol from Spiraling Jackals. The patrol killed Urist and most of his companions, and the news about their glorious victory never reached the towns and hamlets of the Balanced Steppes. What an anticlimax.
