After being told about a group of skulking filth at a certain camp, I head to the camp. Along the way I find some sponge men challenging each other to fight, and demanding that each other yield. Actually, I think one of them was demanding himself to yield and the other was challenging him to a fight. I get to the camp and find several kobold, friendly enough but not talkative. Fine. I kill them with axe strikes to the neck. I bag a couple of heads to bring home.
Getting home, there is
zero recognition of my deed. Instead I'm pestered about a roc somewhere days away. Fine. I recruit a nearby spearman and head out. Said spearman keeps pestering me about criminals. I'm tempted to punch him in the throat to shut him up, but I decide against it(it might kill him, and I need the backup). During the trip, I stop by a river to fill my waterskin, and my partner starts yelling about being attacked by some nearby owl men. I figure I'll just leave the idiot, but he follows me rather than fight the owl men. As I leave, I hear the owl men chattering about "not half a day ago I was attacked by <spearman's name>" "It was inevitable." A group of albatross men results in the same scene.
I spend the night near a lake, intending to restock my water(how do I go through two full waterskins worth in a day?). I wake up, and the lake is still frozen. I still need water, so I wat an hour for the lake to thaw. It doesn't. I realize I have a full bag(100 units) of water already, not sure how I forgot that. Fine. I'll just cross the lake ice.
The lake thaws as just before the far shore. We fall in. The spearman drowns first. Somehow, despite some swimming skill, I drown next.
Dwarf Fortress 2014 Adventurer Mode. Viewing Legends mode, there's rumors that I was a murderer in my civ, probably those kobolds.
