Beasts are awesome. I hate beasts.
« on: May 02, 2010, 12:55:40 am »
I *had* a fortress. About 60 dwarves doing fine in between the first and second caverns. Then I get attacked by 3x forgotten beasts and an ettin.

No problem. Bronze axes wreak havoc. A twisted cobra managed to sneak in and kill someone's baby, but all in all they were fair fun.

And then this little gem shows up:

A great blob composed of water. It has wings and it squirms and fidgets. Beware its deadly dust! My axedwarf chopped off its wings while it was over a pit, dropping it about 3 z-levels. The only body part it has left is its red body. Every time someone hits it, it causes the cave-in effect. Most of my fort is now dead from being slammed against obstacles.

The beast is unkillable.

The landscape routinely being soaked in flammable fluids somehow seems less than benevolent.

I suppose I should mention that this is before the end of the second year. I haven't reached magma yet.

Cave in on the beast! Yay for irony!

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Not going to work, this beast is made out of water, it has no vital organs. So spears are nearly useless, and his cave-in effect will kill almost anyone before they can do fatal damage.

...How about you kill it? You have just as much chance as a cave swallow man does.

This took five replies, FIVE REPLIES to derail this thread. Really, that's just wrong.

You should tell other people as an adventurer it's a small swimming pool and push them in
