Edit: Wrong thread. How did that happen?

[Jacos]

I would have liked it if you told me you were making this thread through PM first, but okay, I don't mind.

Oh, and it should be " Jacos' " not " Jacos ".

Even if you DO jump out from behind a tree, it will not work. I'll probably go and murder a monkey next time.

 You know, I think I'm going to do this. Wish me luck!

[Kattaroten]

And you have to be a kobold? I tried this challange with a kobold, everything very low... I managed to kill a groundhog by sharpening and throwing rocks, i made some gear and then i accidentaly ran into a giraffe and died

[ImBocaire]

Add zombie elephants to the list of creatures not to attack right away.

And a duck...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I actually had to run away from a duck, I didn't manage to get a single hit on him.

[ImBocaire]

...Wow. Do you still have the combat report from that? That duck is one to watch out for. Wouldn't be surprised if he someday gets a name and a title.

He disabled your HEART?

[Jusman]

I don't have the combat report anymore, but he bit me a few times in the upper body and on the last bite he bruised my heart and gave me a mortal wound. Him and a groundhog were the only two animals I managed to catch up to so far, and that's only because they stopped while I was chasing them for some reason. Everything is too goddamn fast. 

[Charismatic]

Giraffes and anything with hooves are bad ideas, too.i once had a demigod adventurer die to a giraffe in two hits. Log went something like this:

The Giraffe kicks You in the upper body with its front right hoof, crushing the lungs through the <<rope reed leather shirt>>
The Giraffe kicks You in the head with its front right hoof, tearing the brain, crushing the skull through the brain, and bruising the skin!
You have been struck down!

FFFFUUUUUUUUU-

[Mcducks22]

I don't have the combat report anymore,

Yes you do! Go to gamelog.txt in the dwarf fortress file. All combat logs are recorded there for all to see.

[Doro]

i tried this challenge too... managed to kill a grizzly bear (It ran after me but i could hide myself and sneak and lit couple of trees around him so he burned to death)

then i found a wolf, was elated that there was only one wolf so i thought that "yeah ok... a single wolf, they arent as bad as they were in 40d, i'll manage this"

damn that wolf was easy to kill. i barely got a scratch and i finally strangled it to death.
i used Genesis mod and i had thrown my starting equipment away and when i started to craft me some tools so i could make a backpack out of wolf skin, i noticed that there were 2 more wolves coming right at me and i couldnt do anything to them. they killed me in couple of moves.

'twas fun though, i'll propably try it again some other day

[Jacos]

Can the person who made this thread please update the rule set at the top of the page with my updated rules? Thanks.

Anybody managed to kill a notable creature yet? (bandit leader, (semi)megabeast, night creature(s spouse), etc)
