zombie ravens certainly aren't the WORST type of undead you can encounter, nonetheless my companions got their spines pecked apart (or something) and died as i fled.  It turns out I had accidentally wandered into the Terror Forest of bitternes.
Fortunately there was a fortress right in the middle of it, so i got some new companions, stayed there for the night and waltzed out of the terror-forest with nary a zombie hummingbird to be seen.
then i got between some wierd buzzard/vulture confrontation, while my companions were off chasing whatever wild animals they could see and I couldn't

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

not wishing to meddle in their affairs, I swiftly moved on to the town of temperedbuttered, where I encountered a MOST interesting individual.  A goblin, with a HELMET!
dwarf/goblin size armor is very difficult to find, so one thing led to another...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

unfortunately my two human buddies were also drowned in the process.. but that's ok because i had to swim across a whole map tile of ocean anyway.. on the way to the ocean I saw a giant snail, I thought, hey good hammer practice, and a good meal!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

certainly one, sadly not the other.  I had to leave the snail alive because I was worried about sunset (thats how long I was trying to whack him to death..)
so I promptly swam across the narrow channel, and visited a nearby fortress (you guessed it, for more human meatshields buddies!)
while I was there I asked the local lady for a quest, she also told me to kill a vampire, but a significantly more dangerous one!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

she also expressed her disapproval of my hero-bachelor lifestyle

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I decided to continue on and kill the original (only!) two thousand kill vampire.
soon I reached the town of mouthstroke..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

this is the place....

[deepfreeze78]

Wow, you've survived a while. I'd have died multiple times in multiple ways in this amount of time.

[neblime]

yeah hopefully I can make it this time update later today

[neblime]

after asking many many villagers their names I finally find my target:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

turns out he killed most of his victims in his sleep. for 2000 kills he is very disappointing

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Thinking I was finally free of vampires I ask for another quest

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

sigh.  Well at least it's on my way.
gathering a couple more warriors from the village I continue northeast, but our travel is interrupted

Spoiler: apparently they were conspiring with the horses? (click to show/hide)

Is this the end?  The last ambush I faced didn't go so well

Spoiler: a depiction of what happened next (click to show/hide)

soon all my friends were dead leaving me to face several goblins alone

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

using my now legendary crutchwalking skills I manage to run away and get several goblins alone

Spoiler: trust me, this is actually better odds than where I was standing before (click to show/hide)

among them a hammerlord who almost matches my skills:

this repeats about 10 times...

I actually manage to kill all of them by running and fighting one at a time.  then I am confronted by their leader, wielding a crossbow, who introduces himself as a "master"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

he actually wasn't that tough. 
I actually survived an ambush.  What can stop me now?

[neblime]

I'll tell you what wont stop me.  This next pathetic vampire.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

woah!  well at least it was a villager's head not mine.  he was fairly easily hammered and I rounded up a couple of locals and continued on.
Now perhaps the most formidable part of my journey begisn.  There is a large stretch of uninhabited wilderness I have to traverse before i reach my goal:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

and that's just the part I can see.  the total distance is about 5x as long as that, and mostly uninhabited.  undaunted, i embark on my journey.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

not a great start! and it seems two of my friends have already deserted me leaving me with one crossbowman

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

haha jokes on you that leg doesn't work anyway!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

whew.  alright, onwards!
after several days my supply of rat weed looted from the village has run out.
there isn't much food in the desert so  I have to eat whatever I can find

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

yuck.
by this time of course my last companion has deserted me
After a good night's sleep under the stars, I attempt to continue my journey...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

hm.  I didn't get a warning for this one. oh well.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a brief snapshot of another encounter:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the journey continues!

[neblime]

So in the long, long journey across the untamed wilds, I managed to get my crutchwalking skill up to a point where I couldn't improve my speed anymore (aka legendary+6 and beyond)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

not an amazing speed, but for a guy with one foot I think that's pretty good.
at last I approach my goal

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

apup won't know what hit him!  this is a pretty funky purple fortress though

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I slaughter all the soldiers in the courtyard, and find my opponent just inside the keep.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I dont mean to disappoint whoever it was who installed apup there but this was the entirety of the fight

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

my task complete, I slayed the lord and all his family hanging round in the keep and journeyed to the nearest town, insightlulled which surprisingly still let me retire.  I think it's because my reputation was good enough that attacking one site didn't make me considered an enemy of the civ.
i'll post the save once it's done uploading.

Spoiler: cerol's location (click to show/hide)

Cerol should be on the west north west outer edge of the town insightlulled, standing in the street. (a dwarven hammerlord should be easy to spot, I have not seen a single dwarf in my adventure)

[deepfreeze78]

Alright, sweet! Hopefully not all of the hill battles will be that quick.

That makes it Timeless Bob's turn! I'll update the turn list now.

[gamerscout]

That is sadly exactly how I expected him to die.May Apup pundikromen rot foverever in the underworld.

[escondida]

Dang, that was quite a turn. Well-played!

[deepfreeze78]

So how was Cerol's kill list? Seemed like it'd be quite long.

[neblime]

twenty eight notables, seventy other.  Unfortunately most of cerol's time was spent in the wilderness between the last two updates, which I didn't think to document since it was quite boring, just hammering the occasional giant lion or giant louse, so mostly animal kills.
I never saw a single bogeyman this game.  Maybe it's because by the time I started travelling alone I was powerful enough they left me alone?

[deepfreeze78]

Timeless Bob? Are you there? Too much longer and we'll have to skip you. I'll shoot you a message.

[neblime]

:\
btw can I be added to the list when/if cerol is killed

[deepfreeze78]

Alright, so DF2014 is out, do y'all want to just keep playing on this save till bugs are ironed out, create a second save that we could run simultaneously to this one on DF2014, or what?
