[Rumrusher]

Just came back from murdering a bunch of bandits in a sewer.
sadly this character died before I got to find a tower.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Oh god, don't go to the market in the morning. 20 pages of "The x regains consciousness"

[Tarran]

Currently genning a medium world with long history, max sites, and high civilizations for Adventure Mode.

My god is this taking a while. 30 minutes and only 300 years in.

[Yoink]

I wandered through the market early once, grabbed myself some breakfast while everyone was asleep. No-one seemed to mind, either...

Anyway, my adventurer Hodell Zobshaocba is still going strong! He and his companion, Minat the weaver (there was a cheesemaker briefly, but he DIED. HORRIBLY.) have killed about five or so off-duty werebeasts so far, and next up he plans to wander into the city and see what's what.
Had a worrying moment where Minat was being taking down and beaten on my a rather strong were-beast... Hodell thought fast and threw his lunch bag, a sack filled with fisher berries, at the thing; he damaged its leg, the thing collapsed and he finished it off with a swift stab to the head.

Minat got off with a broken finger and some bruises, although I just noticed she's dehydrated... Any way to get your companions to drink, short of retiring briefly? Do hunger and thirst even have any real effects? I tried starving myself, 'cause I wanted to get hungry enough to butcher a dead enemy, but I waited several days with no 'starving' message, just Hungry.

Found a strategy for dealing with necromancers.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If you let them spot you, they'll try to attack you. Then you run a short way away. They'll charge out of their tower with their zombie offspring, but since they're much faster, they'll reach you first and you can kill them and then the zombies without worry of being mobbed.

"Try conglomerate throne!"

I was speechless. And legless, because of a lion. That happened earlier. I digress.

Oh man that is funny! If I remember about it when I get back from work, you can consider yourself sigged.

[Old Bones]

Revolution!

There was a market right outside this night creature's castle so I lead him outside and the townspeople are gangraping him.

[Vichan]

I seem to have problems finding tombs and sewers, are the former to be found in the latter? I did see 'sewer access' pop up in fast travel occasionally but I have no idea what to look for entrance-wise.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You can get into catacombs from Temples and Castles, They connect to sewers I think.

In any case, you'd be looking for a hatch, can't remember the symbol offhand.

...I think I'll stop genning at 375, or so and start playing, because it's taking an EXTREMELY long time to gen a year.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, mine was taking so long I had to force quit DF, I think I'll be sticking with small worlds.

[Flying Dice]

Hoo boy, having a lot of fun with this. Found the catacomb entrance in the castle of the local town, and found a bit of loot, then ran into a band of humans down there. I completely fucked them up with my pike, and my three soldier followers helped out as well. I decided to check the next room over before collecting all the loot, and bam, crossbow bolt to the lung. So I'm crawling around on the ground, barely able to breath, with the mortal wound indicator flashing. My buddies charge in, and the crossbowman screws them up. They panic and run out, and luckily, the crossbowman follows, and I stab at his ankles as he comes through the door. Once he is on the ground, I stab off his bow hand and then just keep hitting until he passes out and I can punch in his skull.


Oh, and did I mention that my past two characters have also died to crossbowmen? 

Either way, I managed to crawl back out and sleep off my minor wounds and shredded lung without medical attention, and now I have a huge pile of loot, a shiny new iron halberd, and a complete set of iron armor to hopefully stop that from happening again, plus a couple wicked scars. Time to go back in! 

[Areyar]

Awesome! Loving the new stuff. (new travel mode maps, traps, interactions, explorable locations)
even if Adventure mode seems a bit slower now.

Mummies are easy to dismember, it's their curse that will get you!
I got nipped to death by a butchered skull I was carrying around... actually, I gave in to the pain and the skeletons finished me off.
(:Next time more constitution stat, so I won't faint so easilly)

Is the constant bleeding to death of skins a feature or a minor bug?

I noticed that missions and tombs desecrated by earlier adventurers are still indicated on the travel map for the new ones. Not sure if this is an old bug.

[Gizogin]

Apparently, raising corpses turns all your allies against you.  Oh well, more flesh-slaves for me!

Yeah, I did this in the catacombs under a town. Boy, that one was hard to escape from.
