Unarmed combat outnumbered 30 to 1 in cramped confines.

Yeah, it was just me there.

3 times.

Over, and over again.

My most recent adventuring world has the main human civ in the middle of a cursed land or something, so their are tons of humans turned night creatures, with a suprising number of children. Many of whom have a habit of punching adventurers in the lung...
FUN

[Chagen46]

Oh what the fuck.

I got scratched in the head ONCE by a fucking mummy, and I instantly died. Da hell?

[Loud Whispers]

Scratching in DF is better described as this

Well, I'd done decently in my newest adventure, playing in the Fear The Night mod, had avoided getting turned to the evil side, and had gotten my stats high enough that the attribute freeze from becoming a vamp was worth it. So I go get a quest to kill a master vampire. My badass band of adventurer types, all sporting various scars, walked into a random hamlet and found a guy holding 3000+ bone things n his hands. We accuse him of being a vampire. He announces himself and the fight is on! Only, the peasant, holding a copper carving knife, knocked me unconcious with a blow to the head. I then sat through 5 minutes of everyone in the room getting decimated by this one guy. He had superspeed, screams that made everyone easy vomiting targets for killing, paralyzing stares, and at one point, he turned into a giant bat. Then he kicks me in the head and I die. He then goes on a massive killing spree in the rest of the village. Everything was painted with blood...so beautiful...

TL;DR: Confronted a Fear The Night master vamp, got massacred.

In my recent adventure, I made a tiny island, every parameter set to zero except for savagery and Height (Which were set to 100). I then made a human outsider, called Teme Pumikikim.After a few seconds of fast-traveling I came across a lair. Hoping for riches unimaginable, I went in. All I got was a lousy leopard. Then after some more walking I came across a shrine. I investigated it, and to my dismay there was a bronze colossi. Knowing their reputation, I quickly turned and fled. Soon after, I found another lair, and found a troglodyte. If I had assumed that it would put up a good fight, I was mistaken. It only attacked me once, and even then it missed. I traveled more and found another shrine. I went inside, expecting more colossi. What I actually found was much different. It was a sand titan. My poor, undeveloped brain thought that it would be an easy kill. I mean, sand isn't very intimidating. I sneaked up to the thing, and attacked. At that time I realized that it could throw fire. After 2 or 3 successful hits on my part, I was reduced to crawling away like... like a leopard! After some crawling, I got the message:

Busbel,Sand titan has bled out!

... 3 shots to a titan killing it? Titans are so overrated. Anyway, I eventually bled out from all the incineration. What a sad, Not glorious way for Teme Pumikikim to die.

Well, at least I turned the 26 living historical figures into 23.

Were you cursed?  Curses are awful.  I invariably died to their copper boning knives after getting cursed.

Well, some titans can be really tough if they happen to be made out of some hard material.  But for every Steel Elephant with webs there's a coral insect with a vapour that doesn't seem to do anything (with mandibles and limbs you can punch off).

My spawnvillage decided to be hostile to me on world creation, so I decided to be a murderous psycho and kill everyone I met.
I racked up some 150+ kills on villagers, and a child stoves my head in. Yay.

[TheCoolSideofthePIllow]

Until my current adventurer, since I started playing 0.34, all my guys have died from a single arrow in the first encounter I came across. :/

[Piggy]

I played as a mace dwarf, eventually, I was asked to kill a vampire in a temple, instead, I go to a nicely decorated place, not realizing that this is a Kobold Cave.
The first things I find after I enter the cavern is one kobold skeleton, I just place it in my alpaca wool pack. After a few doors, I found another one, there was one only door, once I entered that door, I saw a sword kobold guarding a stairway, I was dragged down the stairway and found about 100 kobolds, ofcourse, I was slain to death.

Most of my adventurers fall victim to creatures lurking behind an elevation change. I'll be traveling with a new adventurer, not fast traveling, just regular walking, practicing sneaking as I make my way to a lair or camp or something. If you hold down a movement key, you wind up moving at a pretty fair pace across the screen. Too fast to be able to see the giant louse or whatever stupid creature is above or below a natural ramp. The creature will spot my barely armored adventurer and attack if I'm close enough, which I usually am if they're able to spot me. Since I'm holding my movement key down to travel, the dumb giant bug(and it always seems to be giant bugs, there's way too many of them in this release) will get several attacks in before I get a chance to let up on the key. This is usually enough to incapacitate or kill my new adventurers who haven't been able to locate armor yet.

You only get a small window that shows the z level above and below you, something like four or five squares in each direction. When moving along normally, this isn't nearly enough to give warning that a creature is waiting above/below the ramp you're about to traverse. These frustrating events probably kills 90% of my adventurers.

I have been assaulting a necromancer's tower to try and become a necromancer to see how that is, but I am getting thwarted simply because the damn monsters will not come down the stairs.

I've completely cleaned out the first floor, but when I go upstairs there's not enough space to move around or get my army inside, so I am trying to coax them outside so we can fight in a bigger space, but they refuse to come down the stairs unless the necromancers come out first; and when they come out, they resurrect everything I just killed on the bottom floor.

So my new plan is to take all the corpses from the bottom floor away from the tower and burn them and then try again to get the next floor's mobs to come outside after me... They can't resurrect corpses in your backpack, can they? :O

EDIT: OMG, it actually worked! I am now an immortal necromancer

[Eric Blank]

Breaking into their towers and taking their stuff becomes a neighborly borrowing of gardening tools if you become a vampire first! Plus they'll offer you quests!

[TheCoolSideofthePIllow]

They seem to be friendly to me now that I am a necromancer, even if I cut off their arms and legs XD

[Eric Blank]

The zombies definitely. Dunno about the necromancers themselves. I wasn't quite willing to find out...

Did you hack up a necromancer? Do they not miss their limbs?
