Dodged off a cliff, fell about 15 z-levels before crashing in a river. The only time I didn't take swimming skill.

Tried to train up swimming in the ocean. I was unaware that oceans can freeze overnight as well.

Thought that when I tried to grab my opponent's weapon, I'd be able to wrestle it away from them. Grabbed a sword, apparently by the blade, and cut an artery. Passed out from blood loss almost instantly, and several pages of instantaneous combat text later, I bled to death.

Wait...that's possible now? You sure he didn't miss or got your hand cut? Interesting...

Minotaur; destroyed me and 12 castle guards, it happened so fast i don't think anyone got a shot off

BTW i always go with a bunch in dodging, and if i'll be using a shield then shield user too; this keeps me alive long enough to train on weaker things to get my weapon skills up to par.

My latest adventurer had just beaten a bandit warlord, after crippling a few of their followers.

I get ambushed by one of the people I cut a hand off. She's a maceman who's only holding a shield.

We strike, parry each other's hits a lot, and then the first hit that goes through is a fatal kick to the head. Guess who was on the recieving end.

Bullshit.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

To fight those guys, this is what I do.

Run away, so they line up so you can take em one on one.
AIM FOR THE LOWER BODY! (Oh gosh, that sounded weird  :-\ ) It contains the most vital organs (no, you're not funny)
So keep stabbing their stomach and chest, and they should die.
Also, if you can see a shot at the head you can take, STAB IT! A stab to the head is usually a OHKO for me.

"Too" is not what I would use. Every time I don't buy swimming is when it happens to me.

I almost died for a metagame reason.  I tried swimming across the ocean (after checking the temperature), and about halfway across the .exe went "not responding" for 20 seconds after every 10 seconds of movement.  I'm guessing that it was having a problem loading and rendering the 8 z-levels of ocean, but I almost ended my multi-legendary dwarf right there just to stop the insane lag.

Always from getting too cocky and spleeing out in the wilderness.  In all seriousness though I think it's retarded that between a party of 12 heros and yourself that somehow a band of night prowlers can somehow sneak up and attack you over 100 times without you waking up.
