Trying to play 4 armed snakemen. Realized they have innate swimming, so I dump the entire set of hero level points into swordfighting.
...and I get 3 shields!
Unfortunately, snakemen seem a little on the slow side. I always seem to get arrows stuck in my scales, and have no way of removing them. Oh, wait. They're out now, because the arm got cut off. Aaaand she's dead.

Well now, of course you're going to get hit (and thus killed) if you don't put anything into dodging/blocking/armor.

I just traded my silver two-handed sword for an iron one with the image of a cat being eaten by a couger on it.

Got sent on a quest to kill a marsh titan with deadly spittle, blocked it's spittle, rushed it. Turn 1:

What can I say, one too many ambushes gets to you... Notice he's still conscious

Harly helpful. I know that, but they weren't hurting her much (stuck in the scales of her fingers), I just couldn't pull them out! They weren't in the "remove" or "drop" lists, though they were in the "inventory" one.

Were you using Shift - I ?

Ah! of course, "interact". Duh. Thanks! I'll try that next time.

Just watch your tail; it's like a giant penis that you walk on. Get the toughest armor for that asap.
Besides a few tail-related deaths, my current snakeman is completely unscathed save a tiny curving scar from an arrow strike to his back.

2 1-handers/2shields
1 1-hander/3shields

If they're stuck in her fingers, them maybe you need a free grasp from another hand.

Naw, I was just forgetting t he "Interact" menu. Since there's very little it actually does right now.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought your last post was saying that didn't work.

Last game was quite interesting.
Picked up two companions, headed west. Ran across a random camp, entered it. Ran into a mess load of goblins. me and the bowman got knocked down a hill, the hammerman got jumped on by everything. It took them so damn long to kill her, god knows they made a mess out of her first - just about everything was slashed up and cut up before they decapitated her.
My foot got smashed and I crawled away while the bowman stood his ground and shot, through the head, the goblin who had killed the hammerman. Then he was impaled on a spear and bled to death.

I escaped and crawled back to a fortress.

Heal a bit until I can stand up again. get some new allies, a crossbow and a lasher. The lasher turned into a human shield, that poor bastard spent the entire game getting smashed around and doing very little in return seeing how he lost his whip early on and had to survive by using a shield.
(Is there any way to give your companions weaponry?)

Before that the fortress we were at was attacked by boogeymen who slaughtered most of the inhabitants. I managed to escape to safety and they went away. I thought the lasher and crossbowmen were gone but they showed up later, both bruised all over, the lasher with a broken nose, and both retching and falling unconscious every now and then. Wait until they heal up, go back collect all the spilt stuff.

Head back out towards a lair. Lasher gets beaten up pretty badly by the troll consort and loses his whip. I get behind it and decapitate it and then then we go back. Lasher is throwing up all over the place after getting punched in the stomach hard enough to knock him over.

Go back to fort, spread the news, get a maceman. Head out south towards another lair. On the way there we come across a cave. Exlore the cave, find a draltha. I doge the first attack and then the lasher corners it and funnels it into a hallway. He gets bitten all to hell, kicked around the place, gets a tooth knocked out and then has his left arm bitten off at the elbow before he gets knocked down. At this point I jump in.

I attack once. Miss.
Draltha retaliates with a kick. It shatters my skull. Dead.

Damn that was sudden.
I do believe that the lasher was still alive and kicking.

He was a tough motherfucker.

Also, looking at the legends: I killed one consort and I was loved for heroism in about thirty or more places. Hilarious! The lasher took almost all of my beatings!

I just trekked across a mountain for days to go kill a forgotten beast. It was easy, but time consuming.

Oh, guys, meet Ally Burdenlutes the Dire Wolf, my new leather cloak.
