Ambushed by a few wolves. While in 40d they cut my throat open now and then (even though I could slay entire dragons without a hitch) .. they got me this time by attacking me, and my character dodging right into a murky pool. Drowned.

That's why you take exactly two levels of Swimmer.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

Wow, is no one going to give Solifuge props for that awesome tale?  The fact that you threw your hammer up to the prisoners is stuff of legend.  Please write more.

Wow, I didn't see Solifuge's... holy shit, that was amazing. I agree, you should write more. Was the epilogue just flavor material or was that actually in the legends mode? If so, it's amazing how detailed it is...

So, I tediously awaited the arrival of the dwarven caravan (I'm set up on a island, see)... And, they came. My fingers tingled, my nose twitched and my toes tickled... they came around the corner, over my bridge... Into my courtyard... Onto my trade depot...

Then everything near it exploded in a cloud of blood.

That was all non-flavor, and the epilogue came from legends mode. I only got names of two of the 8 kids, but they both made it out alive. I presume they're presently wandering the wilds, and I'd like to think they took Mezbuth's hammer with them. :P

Also, the dwarves and goblins may now be at war. I'll have to wait for a romp in Fortress Mode to figure that out.

Spent all day watching 'Let's Play's on youtube of adventure mode to prepare myself...
Spent an hour reading through legends and looking at maps...
Spent half an hour allocating skills.
Spent an hour talking to everyone in my home town who all told me to "experience the thunder" by climbing a temple or something *shrug* .
Torn to shreds by a hail of silver crossbow bolts within five minutes of entering a town apparently populated mainly by human children, priests and prisoners....with crossbows.
I left a fisherman and a priest bleeding to death though..must check the scrolls and see what happened to them...

Then I will be back....

My first death was quite interesting.

The first person I talked to said, "Don't travel at night, or the bogeyman will get you"

I went traveling at night, and guess what? The bogeyman got me.

I love this. In three pages we've gone from being willing to eat intelligent beings, to trying to make them *more* intelligent, so it will be more fun to eat them.

Lotsa fun, my first death was. Here's pretty much what happened:

I picked a dwarf with an axe (original, I know) and decided to set off into the unknown in search for treasure and glory! ...and stuff. Only problem was, I had no idea how to get out of the fortress I spawned in. Ten minutes of groping around later, I decided, fuck it, I'll just bury my axe in the next guy's forehead. And I did. Before the poor guy even had a chance to react, he was on the ground, bleeding, and unconscious. That was cool, I thought. And then the guy died and before I could react, some other guy fired a crossbow bolt through the back of my head and into my brain from across the fortress walls. I enjoyed that.

So here's the story of how my first adventure went down.

Alright, I got tired of being the usual dwarf and decided to become a(n) hippie elf. Started out with being an archer with some points in swimming so I don't meet my fate like most of the people here. So right now, I'm slaying megabeasts and night creatures like they're freaking nothing. So I'm lucky for now. I'm a hero to all of the races except goblins. So I decide to pretty much become the elven batman. I'm near a goblin base, and I decide to check it out. I'm facing some halberders, lashers, swordsmen, and marksmen. All from different races. So right now, I'm picking em off, some from headshots, others from taking a thrown weapon to the face. I'm saving children left to right. Freeing prisoners, and killing goblins along the way. Now here's where my luck changes, right now, I'm off to finish off the last night creature I know, as I'm going to his lair, I decide to have some fun and kill a freaking horse that's walking around. I walk up to it and punch it in the head, it says it got hurt, and the next thing I know the horse breaks my leg with one freaking kick. Then those human bandits start appearing and I'm firing arrows like there's no tomorrow. A  human marksman suddenly shoots my right hand and I can't run. After walking a few squares, he hits me stright in the other leg, I'm paralyzed. So as a last resort, I throw everything. My bow, my arrows, my food and clothes. He dies. I decide to end it all by going to sleep. I never woke up. Man that was a fun experience.

Anyone here get pissed off when you can destroy megabeasts and demons without breaking a sweat, but a freaking kick by the weakest animal you can think of automatically screws you over?
