I started a new human adventurer two days ago after editing some Vanilla DF raws to add a Spartan short sword/spear/shield with improved strength and giving all the sentient races cities instead of cave/mountainhome/forest retreat.
I went to my starting civ's capital and recruited a human pikeman and a goblin swordgob and asked for some quests, I was given a quest to kill a lowly outlaw in the capital (or some other nearby town)'s underground keep but decided to abandon the quest after killing a some random outlaws and their chieftain and went back outside and noticed a nearby cave so I ventured to it hoping for some awesome monster to kill, there was a river between me and my goal so I stooped fast traveling and swam across, to my, to my surprise both of my recruits were can swim! anyways I noticed two alligators so I butchered them so I can finally wear clothes of my own making (I also copy pasted the adventurer reactions from Masterwork DF) and made a thread and a toy boat(I got a toy boat instead of a needle but it still worked so meh) to sew my new alligator scale thong but it wouldn't work so I thought maybe alligator scale cant be sewn so I dropped it (I actually forgot to tan their hides before trying to sew anything), then proceeded to ceremonially eat the two alligator hearts, and kept going to find the cave til I was a few steps away from it (maybe 100 tiles it wasn't far but it wasn't very close) and there was another river, it didn't scare me so I swam across, but as I was swimming my human follower for some reason couldn't swim across and was pulled into a1z level high waterfall that I didn't notice and fell, as I went to investigate I was pulled in two and so was the swordgob, I tried to swim up and back to where I came from and succeed a few times but I was always pulled back once I got 6 tiles away from the waterfall and fell back in and always got stunned till my human follower drowned to death after swimming up and hitting the ground again a few times trying to follow me up, minutes later the goblin died two so I did the best thing I thought of to honor their memory, I took their weapons (pike+sword) (I took their weapons because they had gotten some kills with them so their names were on them as the slayer, I thought I could sell their weapons at the capital once I this was over) and swam away from the waterfall and to where the water was heading looking for another way out and I did find it and climbed out of the water (I couldn't at first because the river was 2 zlevels deep and only the bottom level had water in it) and proceeded to look for the cave entrance, after finding it I went inside and kept going down till I saw a huge worm, I was scarred because I thought that it could finish off my adventurer for good, so I threw all of my spartan spears at it and eventually ran out of them so I decided to see what I could do in melee I punched it at first, nothing happened, the second punch made it explode and leave a huge pile of leather (I finally got my leather thong) so I threw all of my spawning clothes and only wore my leather thong and a cape and went back to the river to get my companions bodies to bury them somewhere, after picking the bodies up and swimming back to the way out of the river at a swimming speed of 125-200 I saw two other alligators that I couldn't run away from and who were also blocking the way out, so I tried to fight them off and succeed and throwing one unconscious before getting bites all over me and dieing of blood loss.
Sorry, it's a bit long but it serves me right for trying to honor a goblin and a human I made Armok angry at me and it wasn't very wise.
