You punch The Wolf in the upper body with your right hand, bruising the muscle, jamming the left true rib through the right lung and tearing the right lung!
The Wolf is having trouble breathing!

That's some feat. What did he do, dislodge and bounce the rib of the back of the chest cavity? It's like a trick shot in billiards.

fastest kill of a warlord I have ever done
while walking towards him I decided to hurl a bronze pick I found in the night creatures cave at him. The warlord took the pick to the face, it shattered his skull and tore apart his brain and he dropped dead before me.[/spoiler]

Yeah, picks do that. Only things that puncture giant's skulls.
If you look at the magma wiki, http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Weapon
It's an Edge, but instead of ~ 40000 contact area, it's at a meager 100. Combine that with a penetration rating of 4000, and here's the doozy,    2.0x velocity, and you have the stabbing end of a sword or spear with a retarded amount of force behind it. My first hero I save-fagged, wound up fighting 6 giants right off the bat, (savefagged because I had somehow started with superhuman strength, agility, speed, endurance, toughness, spatial sense, kinesthetic sense, high willpower, high focus, above average everything else, (except analytical ability and social awareness, which were below-average)). Found I would wail away with every other weapon, perhaps even shatter the skull, but never pierce it, and 5 of the six bled to death.
I found a pick before the sixth, and the next time I had a giant on the ground one swing and she was finished.

I am glad I found another one in that case, it'll come in handy but I would like a silver pick better

@sylverone
It cracks and pivots at the crack, moves to the right, and laterally punctures the lung. If it punctured the left lung, it cracked and pivoted on the end, and the broken end punctures it by moving into the core of the wolf. That or some other crazy crack near the end of the rib.

I am glad I found another one in that case, it'll come in handy but I would like a silver pick better 

Actually, as an edged weapon, silver is the worst metal type. For edged, it goes silver, copper, bronze, iron, steel, adamantite.

Adventurer mode sure is giving me a few good chuckles and even more 'what the...' moments..

LOL. That imagery...Instant classic.

Yesterday I smashed woes away and learned that there's a targeting system. Emptied couple of houses by biting people's throats open when they're sleeping and then letting them bleed to death.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I've been running around clawing peoples throats open. Turns out Adamantium claws and fangs work (un)surprisingly well.

I have just defeated a shadow spouse, and when looting the lair, a hydra came to look what's up. We killed it only with two other dwarves - a spearman's head was cleanly bitten off, the hamerdwarf got both arms torn off, but he kept on kicking and biting, diverging hydra's attention long enough for me to impale her heart, spleen and liver with an iron spear. After that, the hydra seemed to lose ability to hurt anyone. What was most disgusting - a diamond quern in the corner, with human bone meal all around. Disgusting. Curiously, when I came back to a fortress to recruit, with only the surviving, mutilated hammerdwarf, new recruits swarmed under my flag with enthusiasm. Strange folk inhabits these lands, I tell you.

I got gored in the head by a bogeyman's horn and died
I can never find any companions in anything but a human fortress

What fun!

[Rumrusher]

not much adventuring than digging out rooms and stairwells for the group.
found the hex code for glowing floors and barriers.
in non Kogen news I learn that digging a small hole and staying in it at night prevents bogeymen.
doing so was one of the many ways I survive those horrible nights.
sadly sleeping in said hole will spawn you some where miles away.

Genned a default world and hit Play Now! First person I spoke to asked me to kill a night troll. Okay, that's a walk away, so I better get some training in. I snuck down the road until I found a chimp. Grabbed him, throttled him, dropped the spammy load of knapped rocks I was hauling so I could view the other attacks. Tried a bite and went back to wrestling. You can wrestle with a tooth now! Bit him and shook him until he bled to death. Okay, now I'm ready for a night troll, I thought.

A little bit further the lair came into view as darkness crept in. I bet I won't need permission to sleep there when I'm done. A cackling surrounded me. That must be my target, I thought. Four boogeymen jumped me from behind. This'll be tricky, I thought, but I'll just try out my new moves.

The first one jumped away, the rest dogpiled me. I imagine I got eaten by them.

... Today was rife with disaster. At Rakedages we were ambushed and I lost my  hand to a goblin swordsman. But I made the short green bastard pay, my mace was handle deep into his skull when Cakrat called out to me, I pulled my weapon and ran to his location, the blood running from my body. I came upon a view of Cakrat's pick deep in the back of a human axemen, it was standing over An and she was not moving. I rushed to see her and found she as breathing, slightly, her neck was slashed open from the axemen. Suddenly an arrow was fired, it pierced Cakrat in the upperchest, he fell back a step and looked at the wound, it was lodged in the heart and tearing it out would kill him. Cakrat screamed and ran towards the bowman, as he shot more and more arrows that did not stick or were dodged. I was tending to An at this time so I didn't see what happen, I did hear a loud shriek and several seconds of axe splitting flesh and bone. Cakrat came back but this time he wasn't looking as powerful as before. He was slouching  and leaned against the tree while I saw him become pale.

Then Mastrost charged at me, knocking me over with his halberd, he kicked An in the head and I could hear her neck snap. I shrieked and looked up as he readied a strike on me, and my foot was gone as well. Cakrat crashed into the outlaw and began striking every chance he could. I saw the outlaw get two fingers severed, but I also saw Cakrat get bashed in the head with the hard part of a halberd. I looked down at the body of An beside me and slowly passed out from blood loss. When I awoke Cakrat was standing covered in his and the cheiftan's blood He looked down at me and said to sleep now, rest until dawn because our wounds are bad. I saw a dagger lodged in his eye and his right arm was shredded apart with bits of skin hanging off. I can't sleep so I write, but I don't know how long any of us will survive now.--------------



I killed Duto, he was not going to survive another night, and neither will I. The battle was not over at the end of the day. I slashed Mastrost's hand off during the battle but he did a number to my hand and now I cannot wield my weapon, and smashed my stomach apart, I have an arrow in my heart waiting to be pulled out to send me to my death bed, and I can feel the hours slip through my life. I pass out often now thanks to the battle, and I am sure I will die in this state. I had one more quest to kill a shadow lord troll in a cave, I think I might just try that...

...So yeah, that happened.
