Regenned a large world with 550 year history as the 1050 world was missing a few reactions that I realized might be needed. Bows/crossbows can now be made from both branches and logs. In the 1050 world, bow/crossbow components could only be made from branches. On cavern level one this would limit bowyering to fungiwood. Also 1050 worlds have a higher incident of masterwork than shorter histories. For the character that leans toward austerity this is a challenge.
Rolled a new peasant: Imush Dirtclods. As befitting of a dwarf with a hardy constitution, Imush has high recuperation and high disease resistance, and is above average in strength and toughness. There was some early oddness as his starting speed was 0.869 walking. This was a blip since it reverted to the normal 1.000 walking speed after checking sprint speed (which was 2.785).
The RNG gods have blessed his journey as Imush began with a steel battle axe and the fortress warehouse was full of iron. Imush came away with a mail shirt, a breastplate, chain leggings and high boots. He only wore the shirt and the leggings, leaving the breastplate and the boots at the fortress tavern after populating his world map with lairs.
Imush was going to head down to the dwarven highway, but there was a nice ettin nearby, just 2 world map tiles east. On his way there, Imush was waylaid by dingoes. Since he's just starting out, a pack of dingoes is most welcome. Shield and axe move from novice to adequate with this encounter.
The ettin Tura Irolrossu Atup Thruni had left a grape and a raw cave lobster lying outside of his cave. He can't pick up after himself. He takes after his dwarven neighbors. Tura is found 8 levels below the surface next to a mangled bat and a pile of bat vomit. It's better not to know the dining habits of others, but what has been seen cannot be unseen.
Tura moves quickly, but the world gen boost to his strength and speed isn't enough. Imush kills Tura's charge with a quick hack to the lower leg. Imush then outgrapples him before bleeding him out with the
improved momentum due to prone. Imush regrets not bringing the silver war hammer for this as he could have gotten more work in and pushed fighter a bit higher than the yield already given.
Imush returns with the grape and the raw cave lobster. He'll keep the grape for when he finds a bucket for brewing. The raw cave lobster however cannot be cooked with any reaction and since it's dead it can't be kept as a pet. Some of this is the fault of the ettin Tura Irolrossu Atup Thruni.
