I've fought 2 at once and 'won' that (crippled every body part, they could only push. The lower body wouldn't break off though).
Good luck with them.

Also, Bronze Colossi.

The Plural of Bronze Colossus is Fun.

Indeed, Fun is the expression you're looking for...
Hmm... what exactly did you do to get so many megabeasts in the same location? Increase the number of them without increasing site cap/cave numbers?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

I increased the number, but I also increased the number of caves. I don't think I increased the caves nearly enough though.

This world is almost impossible to play as an adventurer. I tried being a demigod hammerman, but I got raped by a single hydra. The "nest" had at least six. Earlier I walked into a cave, looking for shelter for the night. I found, instead, at least a dozen ettins. As they were beating me, I lit a tree on fire and hoped they would die. They didn't. I did. The fire didn't even have time to reach me.

I had an above ground garden built in the grounds of my castle and two young dwarves spent time socialising there over the summer and at the end of the summer they were in love. Remember those long summers of your childhood? That first kiss in the gardens while crossbows dwarves shoot goblins above your head? The rain of dead birds as the hunters get to work? Truly Spearhills is a paradise.

Aye, I do believe it's colossoi, or colossode, or something weird like that, considering greek plurals.

Dictionaries say it can be either Colossi or Colossuses so nobody is wrong.

Edit: Well except Putnam, he is a bit wrong.

I believe original plural would be Colossi, but silly Americans and Englishmen have changed it to bit more familiar for their language.

Personally I like Colossi more as imo, Colossuses sounds a bit retarded because of all those "s" :P

In greek the plural is "Κολοσοί" which is proancuated as Colossi so i bet Colossi is plural but since for englishmen it is a word from a different language gramaticalli i think it doesn't have plurar(atleast that is what happens with the greek language)

As been said before, the English bend would be "Colossuses", but it is equally right to use it's original Latin/Greek form. If you want all cakes or can't decide which sounds best, use "Colossis" :P

You know what you should do? Start a fort, make adamantine everything (armour, weapons). Then, come back with a dwarven adventurer, train for weeks and go on a megabeast killing spree. Heck If you manage to take out that one shrine you'll practically be a god amongst adventurers.
