I used DFhack to enter the HFS in adventure mode. That was Fun.

In other news, I learned the hard way that dragonfire isn't as laughably easy to block with a shield as it used to be. You now have to face the dragonfire to block it. Rip me.

I dodged an angelic swordsman made out of some gem; fell into the lower level's rough slade floor and my upper body split into gore.

I then later noted myself to set combat preferences to stand ground near ledges

I once fell down a waterfall chasing a flatfish.

That was an embarassing way to die.

Funny?

Brutal?

Insane?

Heh, yeah, always make sure you have the high ground when fighting on a wall/cliff/ledge, if you fall then you can make sure you've got a hold of your foe and take them down with you!

Quite, I like to call it Anriznil, the Skyhammer.

Grab enemy while they're below you and you're both climbing > aim a takedown > lay down to let go of the wall > laugh and laugh and laugh.

That sounds incredibly hard to set up and impractical.

I love it.

Ah, The goblin was a tile south and below me and I couldn't climb because of injuries so no sky hammer for me

It helps if you get enemies to start chasing you and then get a head start up like the wall in a town or something, but yeah, it's impractical, can be dangerous to YOU, and even then it really doesn't do as much as something like throwing them would.

So much more fun though.

Maybe it's a bit mundane, but I was raiding a camp of saberon and pygmy bandits as a goblin swordsman - I managed to kill most of them except the leader, a saberon swordsmaster.

Oddly he wasn't using a shield, only a steel sabre - no metal armor either.

After a somewhat prolonged "fight" which consisted of me and him missing each other, he eventually slashed my throat open. On the next turn he just decapitated me.

I sorta imagine my adventurer falling over on his knees, choking on his blood, before the boss chopped his head off execution-style. One of the few times I was impressed with a bandit leader.

One of those night beast things came along and I bashed away. It couldn't touch me. I misclicked and laid down. knee joint was locked and bent in one turn. After that it was over pretty fast.

I entered the lair of a spider queen, and immediately got webbed. She then punched me in the head until my helmet collapsed.

You mean cave spider? Or a Don't Starve mod? Cause whenever I hear spider queen, I have flashbacks.

Worse, Spellcrafts mod. Spider Queens are gigantic spider-centaur-monsters with necromantic powers of resurrection and webs and venom on top of that. It is worthy of flashbacks.

...Yeah, my Don't Starve flashbacks are nothing compared to that nightmare. The Don't Starve spider queen probably isn't as scary as I remember either. Looking it up now...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

...Nevermind, it's still terrifying.

You sure you didn't walk into the air above the river?
