So the tavern keeper has a tab... with you?

Essentially yeah.

Of items earned through valor, Imush takes the -bronze cap- and the spool of rope reed thread from cyclops Onget Zephyrgranite the Brown Justice's treasure trove.

He tries on the -bronze cap-. Because he's an ascetic with end range austerity, but is one notch of three (first degree not cheerful: "is rarely happy or enthusiastic") from being a full blown Rei Ayanami, the cap's quality modifier only makes him feel slightly weird. That gets balanced out with a visit to a waterfall.

A talk with a tavern keeper at a forest retreat leads Imush south…
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
...to the lair of the giant Rino Nutshale the Saffron of Goals.

As with the cyclops Onget Zephyrgranite, Imush sneaks toward the lair intending to shoot to ground from 1 z-level up, if Rino is close to the lair's entrance.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Nope. He's at the opposite end.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Mechanicallly, DF lets you fire a bow while prone, but Imush does the roleplay thing and stands to shoot, giving up Best Possible visual stealth. It doesn't really matter, despite being under the 20 tile viewrange, because giants have 2-4 tile low light vision.

2 RNG shots and Rino is down.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And just gamey game after the shot, but before closing distance, Imush reads cheezes to hit Focused! to buff all his rolls. No different than with Onget, Imush works the lower body to get the nausea penalty so he can safely enter the recovery combat cycle and train shield user as an outsider peasant who only has dabbling vs no skill Rino's roll-to-hit.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He continues melee to either out-cardio Rino (causing collapse due to over-exertion) or strike a RNG spear stab (to head, upper body or throat for major artery rupture).
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
In many ways melee can be as arbitrary as ranged combat: RNG killshot, bleedout by volume, suffocation due to lung/spine dmg.

Once Rino's exhausted, it ends with a strangle.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Slowing moving to don't care about anything anymore...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So Imush has gone Beowulf and become a monster hunter. While he has zero ambition and no need for excitement, he is duty driven, so at least RP character-wise, semimega slaying makes sense.

At least you managed to get past the fire breath, which is more than can be said for any of my adventurers.

I also modded my dragons to fly, so for me they've gone from "big lizards with magma breath" to "nigh-unstoppable engines of flaming death from above".

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Doesn’t that cause problems when they attack in fort mode?

Slashing throats actually works really well, almost without fail they always bleed to death a few steps later.

Untrustedlife, can I tempt you to add width parameters when posting full-screen images? (Or to crop them a little) My dyslexia makes it harder for me to read small text, so I read the forum zoomed in, and in turn that means full-screen images get really huge to me :D

It would appear that Untrustedlife is indeed using width parameters already.

I used an adv mode crafting mod to make spleen-filled donuts. My current adventure companion is a harpy vampire (didn't find them as a vampire, I modded harpy wings to have [GRASP] and gave them a goblet of my blood).

So drinking blood to become a vampire is working properly in your game? When i tried in my 2025 year old world i drank a vampires blood and didnt become a vampire.
