While I can appreciate someone going even more extreme away from squarelover-type behavior, the red/blue of your avatar was egregious enough I had to adblock it.

Sorry about that. It's been zapped.

Alright, ZM5 wanted to know how my Ischrotaur would fare against one of his OP creatures or vice-versa, Magma Man was my first choice. Mind you the new polished Ischrotaur is a lot broader and previously the female Ischrotaur was at BROADNESS 112 and now its 122 to fit the facial descriptions of this:

My lass had attributes at 5000 and everything skill-wise at legendary, so did the third/last magma man.

Anyhow first I killed an unskilled magma man with average attributes (hacked his head off), then I killed a magma man who had average attributes but grand master everything else, this one managed to block some of my drolth sword and platinum whip attacks with his own ischronite drolth and a platinum whip but in a few ticks, he dead (severed from the lower body).

But the last one, that was trying to wiggle out of it's doom with dodging and parrying like no other, here's a few initial damages I did to him:


Took a while to get a few serious damages in but then again my concept of time is a bit on the fritz right now, here's the final blow:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And here's the aftermath of essentially a field of death sentence:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As ye can see only the unarmed one was without the preferred weapons of mine and both the magma man and my ischrotaur at full muscle buff weigh about the same but then again Ischrotaur has much denser muscles and bones and is 122 broad with default body size at 125,000 and height at 109, no length modifier so that's a 100 probably.
It's safe to say that a magma man is much bigger from my creature, 240 something was it's dead weight while a fully buffed (5000 in abilities) female Iscrotaur weighs about 230 (233 for males).

That was about the size of it and to be honest. It was fun, being this godess figure able to take on these things bare nude with only weapons in her hands.
Even though the ischrotaur was just called 'Ischrotaur 1' in the arena.. to me it might as well been 'Shatah' in the form of an ischrotaur getting her revenge.

Hahaha, tbh I wanted you to check out the magma giants since the regular magma men are actually in vanilla, but this is still pretty cool - shame there's no "arena mode fights" thread.

Wait, have I just derped big time (I was quite sleepy, so in the abstract)? *quickly checks the game* Whoops. :-[ Magam Giant is just above the Magma Man in the creature selection but I swear I did not see 'magma giant' anywhere as at the time only 'giant magpie' was above the 'magma man' to select.
It's not the first time something like that has happened though, in few instances I couldn't even find 'giant' and 'giantess' including when 'ischrotaur' was still a 'minothar'.

It's an odd bug. Actually in this case I fought a default thing, I opened DF with dfhack and that folder didn't have the mod installed. *facepalm slap*

EDIT: Alright, killed the unskilled magma giant in the arena with the ischronite two-handed sword, both me and it had average abilities but me being grand master in the skills area and I gotta say it took a lot more heck of an effort to kill it than an unskilled magma man. There was a lot more fire involved too. Further testings will have to have my drolth sword in and DFhack installed due to inability maxing stats in default game as both three tiers of difficulty are important (average+unskilled, average+grandmaster, max+legendary). Huh, I should add fourth difficulty tier one too, that being: max+unskilled.

Well, I came back to my adventure after a long break, and what do I find within minutes of playing? The night troll I was sent on a quest to kill. I quickly deal with it and decide to go back to get a new quest from the lady of the nearby town. She sends me off after another night troll somewhere to the southeast, I end up dealing with 2 giant feline creatures and the screen zooms in a bit. I assume its a lair so I look around a bit...NOPE its a vault, I stumbled upon a vault on accident. This should be fun.

Hahaha, I always love doing arena-testing with fire-using creatures in the initial patch of grass with a tree. Always fun seeing the whole thing burn down.

Oh dear, I almost never find vaults at random - I just use legends viewer to start near one and check it out.

Take some screencaps of the creature descriptions, those are always pretty interesting.

Whell i just figured out that when my game says it's a dwarven tower it's actually a necromancer tower, time to roll up a fresh adventurer.

Yeah, I can't recall ever finding one without abusing Legends. Are there any troubles NPC messages for nearby vaults?

Blunt weapons are your friiieends. That was before the zeds got nerfed though.

Far as I know, no, there arent. They're just...kind of there.

Though I guess it makes sense. Whether citizens consider a vault to be a threat would logically depend on whether they have pantheons, whether they have the same pantheon that contains that deity, whether they specifically worship that deity, and/or what the sphere-based motivation is. :V

True, either that or angels just aren't actively aggressive and only try to kill you if you enter the vault.

Although it's still kind of weird you don't hear anything like "Several weeks ago, Urist McDabblingAdventurer went to the mysterious structure of Angelslab and never returned - the same fate had befallen 10 others. Can you investigate this strange location, oh noble LegendaryAdventurer McMurderFucker the Killer of Children?"

I recall Uzu Bash saying it's either Legends Viewer or spam Surroundings for vaults.
