Trying to get my thralled necromancer werebeast adventurer killed in some spectactular way so that I can end this worldsave and finally start my first 40.xx fort.

Found a FB in an abandoned fort with a poisonous gas, easy kill, but the gas seems to have no effect on me, maybe because I'm technically undead, I dunno.

Retire your adventurer. Maybe he will siege you or something.

[smjjames]

He's a thralled necromancer wereelephant with legendary shield and armor skill, master swordsdwarf, great axe dwarf, superdwarven strength, agility, toughness, willpower, endurance, spatial and kinesthetic sense, and superwerelephant in those stats as well. So, no thank you. Besides, I want to generate a new world since I want to grab peridexis's starter pack.

Going to try to fight a hydra without weapons or shields, lol.

[pisskop]

Will he fight with his own were-limbs?  if they get thralled themselves they should also transform.  If you cant get one chopped off then you should retire it, make a staircase to the bottom of the world, and see how many can fall before you do.


-Maybe find the last curious structure?

[smjjames]

He's not going to be in werebeast form at that time though.

Edit: The hydra can't even land a hit, lol.

Next challenge, attempt a BC with only melee, no weapons. maybe in werebeast form.

Edit: Lol, even the BC had a hard time, t did bruise me a little and smash my foot, but um, yeah. Theres one more in this world that I could try for in normal form.

What are your actual numbers? Stats are always good to see mainly for awesomeness, partially for the science.

The adventurer is now dead, but theres a recent save that I uploaded for a bug that can be used. Aside from the skills, I don't know how to view the actual numbers of the attributes.

[a smiling bearded cretin]

Oh, I didn't mean the numbers for attributes people get with another tool (the name escapes me). I just meant the screencap of the skills for your character. I find it interesting to see where it is in the bookending range, like legendary dodger: 3230/4000, etc. as it gives everyone an idea of what someone was using which always varies per player.

A bandit attacked me. I grabbed his weapon, grabbed his arm, then threw him to the ground. While he was struggling to get up I wrestled the spear away and ran it into his stomach. He lost his will to fight and I demanded he yield. After that I asked him why he was travelling, who his boss was, and where to find them. I have NEVER played a game where that could happen without it being a completely scripted and pre ordained event.

Drop the spear and lower your movespeed.  He'll answer your questions until he gets within range of you and re-engages.  Hes only passive because you are superior to him.  The ai has threat assessment, and will be peaceful if they feel like they cant win.


But yea, Adventure mode has potential.

Is there any ‼Science‼ on the success of demands in adventure mode?

Not anything formal.  But people have been making them and talking about that since 40.01 came out.

The gist is that the stronger you are and the more wounded they are (or damage they see/hear you do) the more likely they are to give you what you want.

Respect and Fear seem to accomplish much of the same in DF adventure mode, atm.  Respect is gotten by doing quests and killing (notable) hostiles, like semimegabeasts.

Training is going well for Atis Coppersink

You know what they say, "No pain, no gain", although this seems like a case of 'no shame, no gain", as well . . .

I'm a vampire/werelizard/necromancer with a torn motor nerve in my leg. I'm chilling out in a village until I turn and insta-heal. I walk into this guy's house and my zombie minions start beating him down. I decide this is a fine place to squat so I try to rest. The guy interrupts me to ask if he can help me with anything to force me to either ask politely to stay at his house or leave.  A zombie knocks him unconscious and I try to sleep again. He wakes up, interrupts me to ask if he can help me with anything and passes out from the pain. This repeats until he dies. No force in earth or hell can stop this guy from getting a little common courtesy.

Watch out when you do turn into wereform, I found out with an earlier adventurer that your own zombies turn on you when you go werebeast. I already have a bug report in for it.
