I would like to use my first post to question... has the following ever happened to anyone?
I was working through adventure mode, just goofing around a tad as per usual in a world I had generated for no other purpose. Long story short, I did quests, got followers, killed things. I was going to try to get a quest from a local lord/lady/lawgiver, when in the fortress I saw something interesting. There was a prisoner next to the lord, something unique from the 20 previous forts.
I spoke with the prisoner, and jokingly asked if he would care to join me. And he did, very much so, want to join. "Please take me away from this place." That is when I noticed that this prisoner was not human. Nor dwarf, elf, goblin, kobold, or standard animal person. I also noticed the title he bore, then.
He was humanoid with form of a goat. I don't recall the precise description, but it likely said something along the lines of being cruelly twisted into humanoid form. Furthermore, his title was 'The Monster of Gray Chalcedony', leading me to believe he might have been some kind of stone or gem creature, but nothing verified or denied this, as the description was vague. It was also nigh immortal. We traveled further, and no less than three times did The Monster brain bandits and animals with a small knife in one shot while taking no noticeable damage. I would still have this adventure to tell more, however an epic opponent mortally bruised my lungs. The Monster finished the thing off (of course), and as I suffocated I said my goodbyes.
Now I have tooled around in adventure mode quite a bit on and off, and never had a creature like The Monster there show up, particularly not one I could recruit. Is that normal at all? Did I hallucinate?
Edit: Ah yes... if memory serves, it had some form of venom or poison, too.
