My first good knife throw as an adventurer
« on: December 18, 2010, 04:31:21 pm »

I wanted to start randomly killing peasants with my skilled kicker, but since there's now bogeyman in the game(I'm going to try and throw them out of the game for my killing spree)I decided to go for a bandit camp someone has told me about for a quest.  After luckily having only the warlord there, i threw a chest I found and my starting spear, but kept the knife for what I'm hoping to be duel wielding soon.

Well, this just happened in the battle:

Sadly this throw was only two spaces away but it was awesome in my eyes!  I'm still fighting her too, just hoping I don't die in this one on one fight.

The large copper dagger is one of the best weapons in my eyes.

Imagining a traveling weapons monger with various war hammers, axes, and maces lodged in his eyes, for display.  Aye, the large copper dagger is one of the best weapons in my eyes, but look what I've got lodged in my kidney!

Just wait until your throwing skill gets high enough.
I've killed many,many adversaries from multiple tiles away using my steel throwing knives.
Took down a lion in two throws.

My legendary thrower uses bone spears and they do about as much good as making funny faces at the enemies would.

Had this happen a bit ago.



Trying to imagine what it must look like to see the creature blink.

I'm all about the black sand throw.  I wish you could aim it at the eyes for a temporary blindness!

Throwing a decapitated head is always pretty good too.

I assume its spiing as would a football?

Nope, end-over-end.  That's why it just tore apart the eyelid, instead of embedding itself in the eye.  The point on the end just barely nicked his face before...somehow missing her completely.  It's complicated.

Nice!
I once threw a small obsidian stone at a goblin and guess what? Headshot, one shot kill and with only adequate throwing!

I found that a good way to train throwing is to sneak, staying out of view distance of your enemy, and repeatedly throw rocks until either they die, give in to pain, or fall over from spine/foot trauma.

I just chopped a night creature mate in half with one fell swoop of a heavy axe, after being advised to use a dwarf character to get revenge.

And what does that have to do with this? Brag in the right topics.
