Title: Most BS Deaths
Post by: Steev on February 11, 2010, 09:51:48 pm
As the topic says, what is the most BS death or deaths you've had in adventure mode?

For me it's either when I get ambushed by Beak Dogs, get ambushed by wolves as a crossbowman/bowman, or getting killed by crossbowmen/bowmen.

Fighting around magma is asking for it.

Being encased in ice is the most bs death. Happened to me a couple of times. I've almost never been killed by wolves or gcs. Frozen rivers are the real scourge of adventure mode.

My biggest BS death is when I had to much corpse of fallen comrades in my inventory. So I set a tree on fire at let the bodys burn. Out of fucking nowhere, 6 Lion's charge at me, as two tainted harpy's are at the distance. My guy is a Javalineer, therefor, he is great at throwing spears (legendary throwing) so I managed to kill 4 lions by throwing copper spears at them, but when they got me one got a lucky shot on my arm and tore it off, dropping my shield, As I was running i forgot about the Harpy's. One got me in my lower leg and broke it, so now im running with about 500 speed or so and i figure to make a last stand. I pull out my steel spear (One of my Dwarven companions, as Nippon's don't have steel arson) and start stabbing the harpy's to death, as I killed the last one, the lions managed to get 1 tile behind me. I killed all the lions so I figured im perfectly fine for now. I begin walking to my fallen comrades and out of no where "Your having trouble breathing!" Im like WTF because im no where near the fire. I look at my guy and his lung is bruised. so i just start running to get the bones and travel. Then i get a mortal wound and pass out. When my guy wakes up, I see two more lions. So as i killed one, I passed out and the other one tore both my Legs off, now i Know im just fucked. So when i wake up, i stab it to nothing, then i just die of blood loss. THATS BULLSHIT. Ohh, and did i mention i had Iron Armour on?

For me, wrestling an elf to death, then sneaking but some spear-elf ran towards me, revealed me and the alerted the 50 or so bow-elves in the clearing.

Alright, I have a thing for ninjas. So I decide to train as a ninja. First I have a dojo built in a nearby mountain area with a lot of wildlife (At least there were about thirty animals running around.)  and make my character go off on his quest to find the dojo. Well he finds it, and I left for him black dyed plant clothing and steel weapons, and a lot of supplies so he doesn't die in isolation. Well he trains for a while, killing the wildlife and swimming in a small nearby pool. When I feel strong enough to kill anything, I leave and start acting as a mercenary. Or trying to. It takes five different entities before I get a job, which thankfully is assasination. So I go to the town, sneak into the inn, and strangle the mayor. He dies easily, and I sneak back out, but I get caught walking out the door. Suddenly the whole town is after me and manage to chase me up the temple, where I end up fighting six priests at the top. I look down from the small floor and see that almost everyone is below me, and that there was a pool nearby. Now I thought that if I jumped in, I'd survive. I jump, fall, fall, fall, then slam into the water. I break critically injure my lower body and get surrounded by the entire town at the sides of the pool. So I start throwing various objects out, swim quickly to a nearby opened area, and right when I reach the side, THE POOL FREEZES.

What's more is, a game year or two later, the person who gave me the mission died. Ironically by the same village he assigned me to attack killing him.

Modded race, flying in the air exploring a chasm that just happens to be within the bounds of an old fortress.  Find some of the adamantine gear that was missing from the fortress on some of the ledges, and I begin to fly back up and out of the chasm.

Giant bat charges me on my way out and we tangle together, both of us fall into the chasm, never to be seen again.

P.S. The full set of high quality adamantine gear that the adventurer was wearing is also never seen again.

The game was freezing up while I was attacking a human town. I got frustrated with waiting for it to un-freeze so I mashed the left arrow a few times. It unfroze and I found myself about 50 tiles to the left surrounded by every child in a five mile radius.

one time I generated a world where elves remained children until they turned 25-30 (just like the smelly hippies they are), so I decided to kill all elves (original, I know); so three communes later i get swarmed by "children", who ripped out my eyes, and broke my limbs one by one, until i passed out. They continued to torture me for another day or so until I died: whimpering, under a tide of elven children.

Just had one where I was playing as a dwarvern spearman. I hiked all the way to the elf village, fighting off a pack of wolves, a cougar, and a nightwing, when I finally reached the village. I proceeded to kill some elves, when suddenly a bolt embedded itself in my shield arm. I heroically impaled the elf who shot me, then decided to make a break for the edge of the map to travel and heal. I snuck very slowly to the edge of the map, then traveled one square. Ambush! A pack of wolves. No problem, I thought, as I splatted one against a tree. All of the sudden, I noticed I had a mortal wound. WTF? The wolf must've ripped my throat out as I was skipping through the walls of text detailing exploding wolves.

So I went back, bent on revenge, when a cougar showed up two squares from my home fortress and ripped my limbs off.

Then running into a murky pool to extinguish yourself.

And drowning to death because you aren't skilled enough to not drown after a Z-level drop.

I had a fairly experienced swordsman wearing high-quality iron armor I had stolen from some town, and he was ambushed by wolves.  He was merrily delimbing them until - "The wolf bites your head from behind - your throat is torn out!"  WTF?  That wolf must have had a particularly long and flexible neck.  Of course, it and all its buddies still died, and my swordsman was so ridiculously tough that he wandered around the battle site for a while, bleeding copiously, and still wouldn't die.  So he went to sleep, which caused the game to lock up upon his death, so I had to close with the task manager, so there wasn't even the consolation of being immortalized in legends mode. >:(

Had a really powerful adventurer with max party of dwarves and humans following him.  Well on my way on a mission to fulfill every quest in the Pocket Dimension world.  There's a waterfall by the main human town, and I decided it was a bright idea to train swimming by the waterfall because the water is only 4-5 there so I can't drown.

In the mist I lost track of where the edge was, and got pushed over by the current.  I think, ok, so I fell a few Z levels, I'm unbelievably tough, no big deal.  Maybe I'll just fast travel and heal.  Nope - the fall was instant death.  Crap!

I was really, really tempted to savescum but instead I decided to go there in Dwarf Mode and build a monument to him there in the river.  Maybe I can restock the town shops with items while I'm at it.  And the humans badly need a wooden bridge to connect the two halves of their town that are separated by the river.

Ran around for hours searching for a woman with three rats on her body. Aimed to fight her to see if they offered protection.

There were dozens of dwarves walking around due to massive abandoning and reclaiming on my part (it's rare to find someone who likes easy-to-catch vermin) .. and when I finally found her. I went in for a fight and ... two other dwarves sprung from the woodwork and completely owned me. Now I had to start over with an unexperienced adventurer SO ANGRY!

with a play now character i was well on my way to ruling the world with my chosen weapon, a stolen rope reed shoe.

i was killing wolves with it when one of the wolves i had knocked over grappled me with its legs and broke my arm, then choked me to death while the other wolves wailed on me or vomited and passed out. it seems that in the version i was playing, when a 4 legged animal has fallen over, its legs are suddenly available to wrestle with.

i had another adventurer get wrestled by a horse in a human town once after it had been knocked over. it was non fatal but the mental image was very odd.

also first time i ever played i somehow did not know how to swim up.

Tried my very first game just now on Adventurer mode.

Whilst trying to work out how the Travel screen works (i.e. go back to view on ground level), I was ambushed and surrounded by a pack of 5 wolves.

After somehow killing them all in gruesome ways (Wolf A lost a foot and flew several squares away, B died of a pierced heart, liver and pancreas, C was chopped in half, D was stabbed in the brain and E was knocked unconscious before being dismembered), I was trying to figure out how to heal. I look around, pick up the Chunk of torso one of the wolves had bitten out of me, and whilst crawling around prone, I come across an option "Ignite object".

Thinking starting a fire and sleeping in front of it would be a logical way to recover after eating and drinking, I ignite the object and sleep near the fire.

A few hours later, the character was "awoken" by "blistering". I couldn't see a thing, and promptly died.

The cause of death? That "fire" I was sleeping by sparked a forest fire which (on my second game) I found appeared to have wiped out the forest...
At that point, I realised just how steep the learning curve can be  :D

Starving to death in a dried up murky pool you were spawned on for a random wolf encounter:

The wolves are below me in the dried out pool. I am on the former island and now plateau. I could jump down there and kill all the wolves, but then how would I get out of the pool area. It's been 2 days and I'm running out of food. Praying for rain to drown the wolves and enable my novice swimmer skill to come into play....

Otherwise I'm screwed.

It's worse because there's a slight chance in hell I might make it out of there, but if it's a dry biome, I'm just screwed and hoping in vain. Glitchkill?

I had a swordsman with decent skills and a number of underground beast kills.  Some nearly harmless creature manages to hit him in the first toe, causing a compound fracture.  This one broken toe causes him so much pain that he keeps falling unconscious as I try to make my way somewhere I can travel from.  He falls down in front of a crundle mob, and they choke him to death.  Because he got a broken toe.

I was sent to kill these cyclopes at a cave, and several were wandering out outside.  I killed couple, but one went running away after being injured, so I took out after him following his blood trail.  I caught up with him and sometime during the fight he punched me in the head and fractured my skull, but I didn't notice it when it happened.  He ran off again and I chased after him down this hill.  Well, he was waiting at the very bottom, and when I came down the last ramp to the bottom of the hill I was instantly punched in the face, shattering my already fractured skull and killing my brain.

Gathering loot to purchase some better gear for a fresh adventurer, I go to a cave and find the motherlode.  Literally every tile outside the cave is littered with crafts, meat, plants, and pools of booze often 3 or 4 items to a tile.

I grab everything I can, and I'm about to leave to sell the loot and I get some boasting from a giant.  I figure, "Pfft. No big deal, it's just a giant.  I'm in full metal armor with a two handed sword, and she's naked.  Should just be a matter of a few slices."

I was wrong, obviously she became quite skilled in the time it took her to gather up all that garbage.  She dodges my swing, grabs me by the head and throws me across the map.  I explode and die.  I have no idea where I ended up, because she threw me so far that I can't see any explored areas around me.

I spent about an hour in a forest killing random wildlife as an axedwarf.  Killed probably 40 groundhogs, 20 rhesus macque, a small pack of wolves and a VERY large pack of wolves (probably 8 or 9).  I was proud of that one.

Then I decided that the little island I was stuck on was a little boring.  Two dwarven mountainhomes and a dwarven dark tower.  So I picked a place close to the mainland and started swimming.

First time playing the new version taking on a bronze collosus and not knowing about the whole immortal thing. shattered the hell out of most of it, before it got a lucky roll in a broke my arm. shit got bad from there (it threw me off a cliff BY MY TOOTH, which ripped my tooth out in the process and resulted in me lying on the ground with a mangled leg and my broken arm bleeding everywhere while it pulled itself over to me (i think one of it's legs was crippled) and proceeded to break my everything.

My lip got cut and I bled to death.

Beyond that, I've been encased in ice 5 times and melted in rain another 5 in the new version before the water temperature bug was fixed.

I was also recently slapped against a wall by a cyclops that I'd been torturing for several days. Not my best idea yet.

I think after the lip incident the most humiliating was being infected with some horrifying disease caused by Lost Adventurers and Mummies from the genesis mod (I'm not letting them exist in my game anymore, too common and too cheap.) Eventually my speed was reduced to 250 and I was eaten alive by ghouls unable to defend myself.

I was playing a modded 40d awhile back and went to explore the icy wastes of the south, only to get trampled to death by mammoths after about a minute, with no way to escape since there were about 8 of them. I got a new adventurer, tried again, and promptly had my skull crushed by ANOTHER swarm of mammoths. :(

Fought a wandering demon in the forest with surprising ease. Though I did breathe in some of it's gas it didn't seem to affect me at all.....at first.

But some time later I noticed slight drop in my speed and my adventurer was in constant pain...after some time the constant vomiting and pus secretion started...and never stopped.

Tried for quite a while, traveling and sleeping a lot, but he eventually succumbed to dehydration. Damn, those random effects can be annoying, took out all the fun too.

I was on top of the ice sheet, the weird thing was that 1 z level high blocks would gen in huge chunks (64 by 64 I'm guessing) on top of the layer where I was walking which was at sea level.

Shortly thereafter he does show up, expecting me to die. My first thrown bolt shish-kebabs his head and he drops dead, I immediately try and vacate the area. I find and elf prisoner to take with me, i WAS going to just end him out in the woods somewhere except due to the ascii colors a camo'd goblin spearman came up to me and proceeded to giga drill break my innards. =/

After getting my new toy from the circus tent, I went on an elven genocide.

Three destroyed forest retreats later, I've arrived at the 4th and, as usual, began to bring down classic dwarven hospitality on the elves. Unlucky enough, I somehow managed to get myself hurt and also surrounded by villagers; who were already bleeding badly but not yet dead. A lucky smack across the head by an elf and I fell unconcious, while they kicked (or pushed) me mercilessly. But one by one, they eventually died from bloodloss.

So there I was, waiting for my dwarf to wake up. Then I see something approaching. An elven child.

"Hah," I said. "What harm could it ever do to-"

An Elven Child has latched on to your Head!

(40d) New adventurer, I go get my mandatory starter quest to kill a Cyclops (or maybe Giant, it's been awhile).

Run in the cave, the cyclops is just inside the entrance, and I quickly kick it to the kick curb. It's uncnoncious so I figure I'd strangle it to death, as to get some free wrestling EXP.

After awhile I had strangled it so much that I was passing out from exhaustion. Not that I care, nothing had come up. Then I see an antman walking up from further in the cave. "No problem I'll just kill it real quick and go back to my choke hold" I said to my self as I moved towards the Ant, and passed out from exhaustion, and never woke up. I had three pages of "Antman strangles you"

Normally, I end up running around with 30+ spears and just taking out an entire Elven Civilizations.

Any who I moved to were only one could attack me and he managed to break my elbow, making me drop my Bronze Shield.
I figured they would be slow so I keep running only for One more Skeleton Whale to find me!
So I decided to just charge right through it, its only bones right?

All my adventurers are killed for terrible reasons. Like one time I was walking about in a town clad in steel plate. I decided to start a battle so I hit a guard who was standing on the top of the keep and he flew off the tower and exploded. Meanwhile the entire fucking town was charging to the tower and I was just hacking off their limbs as they walked up the stairs. I killed tons of people then walked downstairs and started to loot the town. I met a single swordsman. I charged at him and he somehow gets a lucky shot and sends his sword through my brain and kills me instantly.

Happened in Dwarf Mode, but I had my newly appointed, hand picked Captain of the Guard sorting out his gear when an ettin attacked. I hoped my miners could buy some time while the captain got his armor on and went out to fight. Instead the miners managed to deal with the ettin after a rather long wrestling match. Deciding my guard didn't get dressed up for nothing, I send him off to kill a cougar. Who slays him handily, thus causing more casualties than the ten foot two headed monster. BS.

I survive depopulating a few towns with my guy, taking almost no damage and becoming totally awesome.
Next town: I get shot in the eye with a bolt. I figure no big deal, it'll stop bleeding eventually. I pull it out and continue killing these people. I suffer more and more blood loss from the one wound and try to stop it. The health screen is totally useless, as are my various items of clothing; despite common sense telling me I could use a sash or a sock to slow bleeding. So I completely bleed out from one eye wound and there was no way to stop it myself, which is retarded.

Found a huge, long waterfall and tried hopping down one level at a time. Each tier was 2-3 water until the last one, which was two levels down and 7/7 deep. So I dove, hit the water and died. Wtf is that?

This might be off topic, but what determines falling damage and protection? Yesterday, I dodged a bolt off a temple ledge, fell two levels into the pool and walked away stunned. This time I was wearing full steel and had all superhuman physical stats, but I wonder what saved my ass this time.
Title: Re: Most BS Deaths
Post by: Greiger on August 29, 2010, 03:20:25 pm
As far as I know just distance.

A 1 z-level fall is harmless.  Just a stun.  Even falling onto spikes from this distance won't inflict damage.

A 2 through 3 z level fall will cause moderate wounds, but probably won't be immediately fatal.

3-5 is a toss up, you could die from the fall alone, but even if you don't you are likely seriously wounded.

6 and more is almost certain death.

10 or more is almost certain death with a good chance of flying limbs.

P.S.  Water does not slow your fall in the least.  You will fall through any amount of water (or magma) as if it was air before striking the riverbed at full speed.  I also do not believe armor protects you.

P.P.S.  Also that waterfall?  The water you saw in the step shape was probably water falling through the air.  Even if it would slow your fall, it's falling just as fast as you are it won't be there anymore once you start falling.

My entire village died of BS deaths. Their wood is populated with satyrs and unicorns, 'blessed' woodland creatures. They're only dangerous when you come close, and they try to run away when the elves chase them down like axe-crazy dwarves, only to get gored or cut up when they do finally reach them. I got a pretty good gash in my leg, myself. Then there were the demons never known to history crawling out of the ground. Every time I turned around, someone was making a sludge of elf-gore just off-screen, then disappearing before I get there. It was like a bad horror movie, my character just kept turning up bodies and missing the monsters until she was the Final Girl.

In a river, training swimming and fighting carp and alligator. Suddenly harpies descend on my head and get free shots on my head. I shot them down, but it left me in Extreme Pain. I climb onto the riverbank and give into the pain right next to an elephant, who kicks my skull through my brain.

She only noticed it at all because it "regained consciousness" right after she was killed, while the "you are deceased" notice was up. Pretty hilarious. And definitely BS.

I didn't have a weapon that could hit a bronze colossus, so I thought it would be a cool idea to set a fire to soften him up and give my companions an honorable pyre at the same time. I kept colossus on top of it and stayed out of range, but when it started melting, it also started melting me. There's only so fast you can crawl away from a molten statue that keeps knocking you down.

I thought 'ass monster' was funny enough to post it to that thread. Then I ran into one and found out there's nothing funny about them. I was fighting off a pair of trolls just fine until this & crept up, blasted us all with freezing breath, and while we were frozen, blasted us all with boiling breath. I regained control maybe once every 15 hits, just long enough to do something futile, until it eventually got me.

I had an adventurer visit a fort that was abandoned specifically for that purpose and loaded him up with steel giant axe blades, an artifact shield, and whatever weapons I could find. First I killed a Bronze Colossus with a combination of giant axe blades and picks. A steel pick to the head finally did him in. It took a while though and my dwarf hit Legendary in Archer, Dodger, Shield User, Armor User, and Fighter in the process. He was already Legendary in Thrower before I even went to the cave.

After that I headed south to another cave that was inhabited by a bunch of troglodytes and seven Deep Crows. I killed them all with the same basic combination and even prevailed when two of them attacked me at the same time. So I collect up the corpses and head on. So I have eight notable kills and about eighty or so other kills; mostly giant ants, eagles, and Giant Eagles since I had to walk across a mountain range to get to my fort. I got to Legendary in throwing almost entirely by throwing fat and meat from the aforementioned creatures.

While Traveling, my dwarf was attacked by a group of giant ants, one of which bit him on the finger before I could do anything. A dwarf that was quite capable of dodging simultaneous attacks from multiple semimegabeasts was bitten by a common creature and immediately lapsed into a semiconscious state despite his superdwarven level Toughness. He was then mauled to death by giant ants while I could do nothing to stop it.

Post by: FuzzyZergling on September 21, 2010, 03:53:17 pm
I was going through a dark tower, killing off elves (the elves wiped out goblins in this world), when an arrow bounces off my shield.

So I think to myself "Ah, an Elf Bowman, good shield practice!"
I proceed to stand in one spot, letting the elf unload all its arrows at me, to no effect, then I chop it in half and go on my way.

An arrow flies at my, hitting by toe, and I give in to the pain the moment I reach the culprit.

When I awake, the elves have ripped my equipment away from me, forcing me to kill them with my fists.
I can only get a few shots off before I fall under again, and while I sleep they pummel me.

Almost none of them can can get through my armor, but they steadily bruise me as I sleep.
Then, a farmer, emboldened by numbers, grabs my throat, and strangles me.

And now I rest, my head on a spike, in the dark tower of the elves.

Worried I might be bringing up a facepalm with this one, since I'm still an utter newbie to adventurer mode, but I might as well.

One of my early adventurers: I was fast traveling and got ambushed or something. The game decides to place me in a murky pool, alone. I can't get out, and I'm apparently just good enough a swimmer to not drown, but just bad enough that I can't get out. After wandering around the pool, decide to give in to starvation, since I'm not drowning.

This is probably the point where someone points out a simple keystroke or two that would have saved me.

Post by: Dok Enkephalin on September 22, 2010, 09:20:32 pm
That works if there's water; if it's an empty murky pool, look up to see where your ambusher is, go to that rim and keep hitting the attack button to kill him (couldn't tell you the keystrokes, I remapped mine too long ago.)

I got ambushed by a lion who was sitting on a pillar of stone dead center of an empty pool. That worked, and I was able to fast travel out.

So there I was, feeling on top of the world after just killing a dragon. After returning to the warlord to talk, I was sent to kill a demon who literally was an upright deer that knew people's names and could breathe fire. Pretty much Satan. After going to find it, I found out it resided in a town. From here on out, pretty much "Shadow Over Innsmouth" happened, but at the end I died after attempting to assassinate the demon. Man, these things do love taking over civilizations, don't they?

Got a quest to kill a dragon. My adventurer had only one useful leg, but that wasn't a problem before.

Arrived at the site, and my party of 19 fellow soldiers found the dragon first, as the dragon breathed fire at them.

The dragon didn't go down without a fight however. The dragon ripped off bodyparts and the fire melted some of my companions. In the end, a lasher smashed its head in.

I decided to leave the site, when the adventurer suddenly started melting. I figured out pretty quickly that I had crawled over a pool of very hot dragon blood that was heated up by the dragonfire.

I bled to death before I could do anything about it.

To get around Toady having removed forest retreats and mountain halls from adventure mode, I modded dwarves and elves to build human-style cities. Then while I was at it, I also modded kobolds and goblins to do the same. Just to be sure I wouldn't face some BS death by arrow, I modded all civilisations to not have access to ranged weapons.

Start elf adventurer, I want some metal equipment so I pick up some bandit quests. Ok, the nearest camp is too far to travel from the nearest elf hamlet but there's another village almost 2/3 of the way there and I have no reputation so I can't bring party members. I travel to said village and go up to a house to ask for permission to sleep. Said house is filled with a bunch of kobolds and I can't speak to them of course. One of them even came out of the house to attack me but I killed him easily. But you know, it's evening and there's no hospitable accomodation anywhere in sight? This being a starting adventurer, I didn't have much chance against the bogeymen that came when I made my death march in a futile attempt to run to safety somewhere.

My latest epic adventurer, a Master Swordsman(from hero beginnings, so I had been playing him for a while), by the name of Bugi Braveankles the Saturninity of Paddles and performer of such epic feats such as breaking a hydra's upper spine with the first blow of the battle and killing a Desert Titan with a single kick, found himself without any real challenge and decided to travel to the very ass-end of the world to annihilate a dark fortress located at the frigid and perpetually foggy southern edge of the world. Beginning with thirteen varyingly experienced followers(admittedly, two of them were crippled), the fellowship soon found itself under incessant goblin attacks and no place to hide(and a visibility of one square in every direction due to the fog, even during the day.). By the time Bugi was drawing close to the sinister fortress, all of his companions had been slain, but he was confident that he could take on any number of goblins by himself. So, with the shadow of the stronghold on the horizon, he went to sleep one last time before the great battle of our time.

He woke up some hours later to the peculiar and uncomfortable sensation of a steel arrow piercing through his upper spine, paralyzing him. A few seconds later, another dart whistled out of the fog to put him out of his misery.

(Sure, I deserved that for sleeping alone close to a fortress(or anywhere outside, for that matter), but I was sure I could survive the first few hits since just a few minutes earlier I had watched a pikegoblin try in vain for several minutes to deliver the killing blow to my crippled axeman friend, but being foiled by his <<bronze helm>>)

Most of my adventurers last for at least one quest.  The exceptions, however, are rather amusing.  Sent to kill off a dusk critter spouse of some sort, I approached the cave, crept inside, and charged the horrid beast.  I missed, and the spouse punched me in the chest, shattering a rib and forcing it through a lung.  I immediately fell to the ground and started suffocating.  I didn't last very long after that.

Another one was starting to look like a decent adventurer, I'd managed to trade off all the phat loots I'd found for a nice set of bronze armor.  Tasked to exterminate a bandit camp, I set out full of confidence.  As soon as I get near the camp, BAM!  Arrow to the upper body, chipping the spine.  I drop my weapons and fall over, then watch for a good two minutes real time as two axemen and a hammerman beat futilely at my wonderful armor before the archer finally opens an artery and I bleed to death.

It was my first adventurer who received quests for megabeasts, and I was just routing bandit camps for extra skill at the time ... so I was sad that I wouldn't get to actually go die to the dragon instead. :P

The great dwarfen hero Limulnosim found peace today. The mighty slayer of dragons, horror of the night-creatures, doom bringer of evil-doers passed away.
He was a legendary fighter, both with sword or hands, feared by his countless enemies and worshiped by the peasants. Kings bathed in his glory, women dreamed of him at night, but when the sun settled, he was out in the wilderness fighting against the spawn of hell.
No fight was avoided, even when facing several foes at once, he would grip his mighty sword, pray silently to Armok and go about to sent new souls to the depth of the Abyss.
His death wasn't by the hands of his enemies, they wouldn't have dared.
He died like so many of his generation during his night time swim-training. How should he have known that the tropical freshwater-lake wasn't entirely in the tropical hemisphere? The quick icing encased him for his eternal slumber, only giving him free in the sunlight, letting him roam through the day, a small reminder of the freedom he once sought.
May he rest in peace.

I had bogeymen all in one corner of a river, I was on the side one tile away. They'd come up one at a time, and I would immediately attack it and knock it back into the river. Much laughter and fun was had at their expense.

But the fourth one was visible on the same Z level as me! As if he had landed on a pile of stunned bogeymen, or maybe they were making a bogeyman ladder. I decided it was a good idea to go to the edge of the river and knock the top bogeyman off. I like to imagine my character said "whoops" as she stupidly tumbled into the water, landing in the middle of a bunch of angry bogeymen. (Though she actually drowned, being a novice swimmer)

By the way, I'm not sure what the real reason is for him being on the same Z-level, but right before I fell in it says "The Bogeyman stands up." about 4 times in a row, so I'm going to keep imagining a bogeyman ladder.

Not so much BS, but it certainly feels like it when you're all full of yourself, being a childish bully to a bunch of terrifying monsters and suddenly you get your comeuppance.

I was on my first night, ambushed by bogeymen, I killed ONE and the rest joint-attacked me, one pnched my skull in, another seemed to have been able to rip my arm out of it'd socket ( :'( ) and next thing I know, it used my ARM to knock off my HEAD (which had a skull lodged into the brain (?))

Modded raw's so I can summon a set of adamantine armor and weapons with one knapping reaction just so I could try murder everything but I put the
wrong gauntlets in the reaction and couldn't wear them but shrugged it off and charged out for adventure.

later after killing a balor(semi megabeast from genesis mod) I was attacked by bogeymen. Punch to the hand and i'm out cold and then it takes several hundred turns for them to break past my armor and kill me.  :(

As far as I know just distance.

A 1 z-level fall is harmless.  Just a stun.  Even falling onto spikes from this distance won't inflict damage.

A 2 through 3 z level fall will cause moderate wounds, but probably won't be immediately fatal.

3-5 is a toss up, you could die from the fall alone, but even if you don't you are likely seriously wounded.

6 and more is almost certain death.

10 or more is almost certain death with a good chance of flying limbs.

P.S.  Water does not slow your fall in the least.  You will fall through any amount of water (or magma) as if it was air before striking the riverbed at full speed.  I also do not believe armor protects you.

P.P.S.  Also that waterfall?  The water you saw in the step shape was probably water falling through the air.  Even if it would slow your fall, it's falling just as fast as you are it won't be there anymore once you start falling.

Now THAT calls for dwarven science! I seem to recall hearing discussions about sending a team of dwarves to the bottom of the ocean, this is the way to do it :D It would allow us to send our adventurers to the bottom of the ocean. Surviving the impact is another story :P

I got a steel shield off of dwarf at a bandit camp just yesterday, so there's definitely steel to be had. I'm not sure if you can make a dwarf adventurer that starts with it though, or if steel items ever turn up as loot in the treasure stash of dwarf bandits.

That character drowned as one of the aforementioned murky pool deaths.

Most BS thing, total? Discovering that I was a thief when I couldn't recruit companions, leading to a bogeyman death. Ugh.

Running across a mountain range, after the Lord of the Realm of Women sent me to kill a titan.

(The Titan was a "six-legged quadruped" crysophase scorpion, which made me laugh. Took a while to chip it to pieces with an axe.)

Just mindlessly running westwards in failing light, up over a slope and WHAM a flash of coloured text and now I'm lying down.

Check the logs - I ran straight into a Giant Eagle, fell over while slaughtering it, and crawled up the slope.

Completely BS death - for the eagle!

Later that same journey, running across the hamletless desert trying to escape from the cackling - did exactly the same thing to a bogeyman.

Went unconscious and awake in the morning, with the bogeymen gone.
Went to a Rebel base to kick their asses too, and I learned that carving knifes are epic to BEAR hands.
Urist McPeasant stabs Red Heavy Giant in the leg, shattering the bone, tearing the muscle and the fat.
Urist McBoneCarver stab Red Heavy in the eye, shattering the skull, and tearing the eye.
Passed out and got curb stomped for over 5 months. Then I bled to death. Not even one hit my lungs so hard as to pierce them, just bruise them, not even hitting my brain, just shattering my skull.

started 2 adventurers just recently, both were human outsiders, first was peasant with low skills and wanted to make a knife user, started my journey, took a quest and went into fortress to recruit one or two guys to help me. I found out that there were a real zoo right at the gates of fortress. there were groundhog, Doe Bunny and a rhesus macaque blocking my way into fortress, (really, they blocked my acces to that fortress by standing right next to door) i thought that id get a good experience for my peasant with ease. I thought that perhaps groundhog would be worst enemy so i charged at it first, sliced and diced him with me trusty copper knife, it didnt took long untill i fell unconsious but the groundhog fled. so it was my unconcsious adventurer vs. a bunny and a monkey. After i died, i scrolled through atleast 20 pages of bunny latching firmly or macaque punching me, then i got bored and started a new adventurer.

This time i started Demigod Outsider, again a knife user just because i like knives :)
went to recruit couple of friends again, killed a black bear on my way to fortress, and when i finally reach gates, i see a deer and a fox outside gates. this time i thought that it should be really easy because there were just 2 animals and i was DEMIGOD... deer kicked me once into head and i fell dead. im wondering, why were all those animals standing right next to castle gates :/

Bear in mind that you can usually safely sleep overnight in a lair. You may want to kill the prior occupant first however.

This makes it a lot easier to wander deep into the wilderness and explore dark and vile places far from civilization - but yeah, you better sharpen those fighting skills first because soloing lairs can be pretty damn hazardous.

Even when i was healthy i kept missing, my skills were high too lol

I have never hit anything after going unconscious from pain. Ever. Legendary +++++++ skills non-withstanding. If you are ever knocked out and somehow recover, just run, stealth, anything to get away, because you basically will not be able to fight again until the pain penalty subsides - you are effectively helpless unless you go into a martial trance or something.

Was riding high with my latest dwarf hero, Druven Worldcleave, after successfully slaying a Brush Titan, an enormous scorpion with lethal poison and, oddly, a tentacle on its face(?!). His army of human peasants fought bravely, and some even survived, though most had fewer hands and arms than before, one lost both his legs and yet survived, dragging himself bravely as we headed back to report the news. Ambushed by a group of bandits on the way back, led by Xuto Daggerwrithe, the legendary swordsman. Druven and Xuto each cleaved through the other's followers with ease, working toward one another for a one on one showdown amidst the bodies and blood. Druven embedded his axe in Xuto's left shoulder, and Xuto cleaved Druven's head from his shoulders with one stroke.

Now to start training Lutas Worldcleave so he can hunt down Xuto and take revenge for his brother's death.

I started out as a adventurer (for the fourth time). Had hidden some gear from my previous dwarf fortress. Full, high quality steel gear.
So I decide to be a swordsdwarf. I train my combat abilities to legendary. I travel to a elven forest thinking "Perhaps slaughter a few people and get away cleanly."
I walk up to a elf, behead him, then walk away. It just so happened to be a elven village (of some sort) on the top of a cliff!
I take three steps. Suddenly there is 75 elves with crossbows. I see six wagons. Not only am I wondering how there is this many elves, I am also wondering Should I jump off the cliff into water or run for it?
I decide to jump off the cliff. One tile away from falling and then: All the elves fire at me.
75 headshots. I get mortally wounded.
I jump off ledge. Fall, fall, fall, water freezes, fall, splat.
I'm wondering what killed me though. The cliff, or the elves?!?!?

...Holy epic.

New Death:

Lawgiver: I have killed noone and have no weapon!
Prepare to die!

Me: Meh.
*Slices at him*

You slash at the lawgiver, but the shot was parried!
the lawgiver punches you in the head, fracturing the skull and tearing apart the brain!
It collapses into a lump of gore.
You have been struck down.

EDIT:
Babies have a freaking GRUDGE AGAINST ME.

Baby: Ga!

Me: Not this time! *runs*

Baby: Gaga get back heeere!

And it led to an epic baby chase where I eventually got exhausted, fell down,  then got mauled by a town.
All because...
ONE BABY...
Decided it wants to be a murderer, like daddy!

...I forgot to mention it was an elf town, and I got devoured after that, huh?

A hydra bit off my leg, no big deal, I killed it. I go kill another hydra, then decide to sleep in its lair. BIG MISTAKE, since - apparently - I was sleeping close enough to the entrance for bogeymen to spawn. I wake up in time to kill one, and try to retreat deeper in the lair but somehow they got behind me. While I'm killing that one, I get punched in the upper torso and it bruises my lung. So now because I can't breathe, I can't fast travel or sleep. So I try to run to the closest town (adept crutchwalker). I make it five steps and get blindsided with a kick that snaps my spine... and then to add insult to injury, the sun dawns and they all die.

And I suffocate three turns later. FFFUUUU-

Ran into a goblin ambush while going back to a fortress. Bastards gang up on my companions one by one.

All my guys are dead or dying, when they turn to face me. Martial trance, I start tearing them apart one by one.

Killed them all. Dodged into a puddle.

Yeah, I think you know how that ends...

At least I killed the gobbo in the puddle. xD

Gredal CombatWars was a tough boxer, running from elf to elf, breaking bones and gouging eyes left right and center with his 3 child companions.

He had just gone and killed another 15 elfs and was working his way over to the human town to see if there were any more children to take, on his way in, a moose kicked his right elbow and fractured it (Compound=Bone sticking through skin). He passed out due to the pain and the children were all killed after chasing it away from his unconsious body. When he awoke, he was greeted with a sheep staring at him, he killed the sheep and went on his way, passing out every few tiles. He made it to the town and bought a sword (On account of his boxing career ending) and was on my way to get more.......skilled companions. He got to a fort and went in to find someone to talk to, he was met by the same moose that had put him out of his boxing career and killed his loyal halfling companions. He went to go kill it and got the sword knocked out of his hand, when he tried to retreat, the moose came behind him and broke his left knee,spine and left hand and proceeded to walk out of the fort. He passed out and a gopher came and bit his nose off and scratched his eyes out. When he awoke there were aprox. 6 goblin bandits who had come and they proceeded to target my teeth with their whips and I finaly got my head chopped off by a bronze short sword after I was de-teethed and blind and completely immoble.

Ah how Dwarf Fortress taunts us so......

Rosmic Ramaatup: legendary swordsman, legendary dodger, legendary thrower of arrows, pretty adequate shield user, slayer of countless titans and megabeasts, and how does this "legendary hero" die?

He gets stabbed in the hand by a dagger-wielding goblin (an itty-bitty flesh wound, mind you), passes out almost immediately from pain, wakes up several hours later, takes a few steps, faints again... and again... and is of course killed as a result once his companions run out. I can just imagine him screaming like the little girl he is throughout the whole entire ordeal.

I had a badass nord adventurer, he had just finished slaughtering an entire Fairy city, so his skills were extremely badass. He ended up being ambushed by a pack of boogymen, as he was fighting and slaughtering said boogymen, he dodged and fell into a 2 z level river and was stuck. as he swam up the river he was then ambushed by a pack of alligators who immediately ripped him limb from limb until he drowned after being Drowsy... bad times.

I decided to visit my old fortress, Roofravens, and see if I could pick up some steel gear. When I got there, however, I found that there was a Great war going on there. Yak Bulls, Goats and Mountain Gnomes had wandered into the fortress from above, while troglodytes, crundles, elk birds and a GCS had wandered up from the depths, and they all started killing each other. Wanting to upgrade my crappy copper sword, I rushed in regardless. Both my comrades were immediately struck down by Yak bulls, and I was besieged by the Gnome/Troglodyte allegiance, and therefore unable to help.

After running away from the countless creatures, I found myself in the bedroom area of my fortress. I wandered around, finding nothing valuable, and decided look back upstairs. Big mistake. I ran past an Elk bird, who somehow managed to mortally wound my Demi-God armor-clad adventurer, and found myself facing the GCS. Fearlessly, I rushed to battle, and managed to knock it unconscious with a well placed blow to the head. Suddenly, I saw Troglodyte #46 and decided to take him out. I landed one blow, then the GCS regained consciousness for just long enough to spray webs all over me and give the troglodyte the chance to punch through my brain. The GCS then promptly died.

Title: Re: Most BS Deaths
Post by: Alestom on May 07, 2011, 07:51:39 pm
My adventurer got shot in the toe, in the midst of a animal vs bandit vs peasant vs titan fight and got thrown, into a honeybadger, killed the honeybadger and gave into pain... Got thrown again into a goblin pikeman and knocked the weapon out of his hands. As the pikeman went to go take on the furnace operator, the titan (A large humanoid with wings and scales) grabbed him and threw him a tree, sending bits of him everywhere and ending his sorry life. Meanwhile, I was trying to get away and a elf bowman shot me in the ankle, bringing me down and knocking me out, meanwhile my men got thrown, stabbed, shot and bitten to death in the massive pile of gore that was previously a simple forest clearing.

When my last man had died at my side (A fisherman who had decaped many a bandit with his steel carving knife) The titan walked over, punched me in the knee, broke it and threw me into the bowman that had crippled me earlier and We both exploded into gore.

This titan had killed 56 just in that fight and had taken little to no damage....

Target aquired...... If only The scourge of canada were here to help.......

Post by: Eric Blank on May 08, 2011, 01:04:02 am
It all appears possible, if not likely that he wasn't killed sooner. He may well be counting all the animals and bandits. You can get a lot of bandits: I myself found a camp of ~25 and many people have reported insanely large bandit camps, of 50 or more. You can obtain perhaps ~15 companions. And of course with a good chance of multiple wildlife clusters in a given area at a given time, you could have up to 30 or so animals rushing in. He may well have been ambushed literally right outside the titan's shrine, rousing it to battle. I want pics, though. I want to see the carnage!

Anyway, did I happen to regale you with tales of adventure? Really? Oh well; I barely started an adventurer and i began in a town situated on a completely frozen ocean - not a building or resident in sight - which of course thawed permitting me to fall in and instantly be encased in ice. Shortest adventure ever.

Went adventuring again after a rest to do my study's, Right off the bat I got sent to a bandit camp with 26 guys in it, I ran away and led them to the nearest town (2 world map blocks away) and there was a large war between the peasantry and the bandits. Many limbs lost later, there were 4 bandits left and the town was devoid of life, I charged in and hit one in throat and killed him, I threw a sharp rock and cut one of their fingers off, that one passed out and I left him to die. The other two were decaped by me. I went back to see if the one who I cut the finger off was still alive....The crossbowman........

I just started a new Swordsman, finished three quests or so with my trusty pike/cross/hammerman followers and embarked on my fourth subsequent quest (my record). Got to the quest site at night time, moved a square away from it on the map and went to sleep.

While it went through the sleep animation screen thing, my computer started locking up (which was odd, it never does this) and I woke up dead. I'm going to *gasp* savescum and see if it was meant to be, and I'll edit in the result.

Bandits probably found you sleeping RIGHT NEXT TO THEIR CAMP OH MY GOD WE GOTTA KILL THESE GUYS DON'T WANT ANY WITNESSES TO OUR CRIMES NO SIR QUICK CHOP OFF HIS HEAD
Seriously, though, if I were a bandit and I saw an adventurer with several (heavily armed and armored) companions near my base, I'd want to... "clean them up" while they were asleep rather than fight them fairly later.

The strange part is that we were still quite far away, and there were no bandits/animals/anything near by. I just woke up dead. No missing body parts or anything.

I started a new adventurer, axedwarf demigod and went on to my first quest which was a annoying Cougar (luckily) who had done... something bad, other than kill any1. propably looked wrong way at the humans.
well anyways, i found it's lair and aimed an attack at it's upper body and was wondering: "why is there STAB instead of SLASH on top of my attack list" checked my inventory and i had copper spear and clothes on me and dagger in my backpack. So i asked my self that where the dwarf is my steel axe and shield.
i thought that ill buy one from human town once i get there but i got ambushed on my way there by bandits... i think there were 3 of them, one started chasing turkeys and 2 killed me... kk cool.

i checked my skills and i had no points in spear and i was talented in axe. odd

EDIT:

oh wait! a new story. today seems to be a bad day for adventuring.
So, i started an female archer elf (dont ask me why) i decided to take my dagger and went into wilderness and train my dagger skill on group of warthogs. I killed 3 of the 5 warthogs and one of them was retching and waiting to be finished. as i was fighting my 4th warthog, it charged at me and we stumbled into a brook. yes, a brook. 1z level below so i couldnt get up. I remembered that there were a river not far away that was connected to brooke i was walking on. at the same time i could train my ambush and swimming skills and perhaps kill few carps on my way to find a place where i could get on dry land ( river was also 1z level below ) swam quite a trip and when sun set, river froze and there my elf lies, in the middle of river.

and as i was writing that story, i realized that i could have just fast travel when i was standing on a brook... but i dropped my bow on dry land and i had to find a way to get it back or earn enough money to buy a new one.

Did you put a lot of points in one of the unarmed skills, like wrestling, kicking, or biting?

Quote
(from the DF wiki)

The weapon you start out with will be based on which of these, plus the unarmed combat skills, is the highest. In other words, even if Swordsman is your highest weapon skill, you won't start with a sword if your Wrestler or Striker skills are better. Usually the best choice anyway is to specialize in just one melee weapon skill.

If you had an unarmed skill greater than or equal to axe, it probably just defaulted to the "unarmed" equipment set, which these days (for some reason) lets you start with a copper spear. I've done that once or twice by mistake, too.

This was a long time ago (40d) but is the most BS death I can recall.

Was fighting a Bronze C. and I naturally expected to die immediatly. But, wait! I was winning for some reason the beast could not kill me! After a while of fighting it and cutting off a few of his limbs I checked his wounds. And off to the side it said he was weilding a LEATHER GLOVE!. I don't know how this happened but apparently the whole time he was just slapping me with a glove. This was before aiming was introduced so my next attack accidently sliced off his hand. He promplty beat me to bloody pulp.

That is absolutely hilarious!! Only in DF. I feel like you should post this in the "Draw your adventure" thread.

Ok, so most BS self-inflicted death: Thinking, "Hey! I am pretty much invincible [minus the random headshot from an archer], so why not fight nature now?" Well, the magma won.

Most BS non-self-inflicted death: fighting and killing first dragon in latest version. Kicking its butt + some cool dragonfire blocking. Looting it's cave a little bit. I start ... "melting" ..., so I think the loot is cursed so I drop it. Still melting, so I run out of the cave and fast travel to a stronghold. Whew! No longer melting. Go into the stronghold and regale the lady with stories of how I killed the dragon. Now I'm melting again; three of my toes melted -- only the overall bleeding is like quadruple the speed. I try to fast travel -- I can't I'm in the stronghold, I try and get out, but bleed to death two steps from the door. So: bleeding to death through three toes which melted.

That was a starting adventurer, not many quests done and skills high, but something...

Fast travel, when suddenly bandits attack, outnumbering us. The fight begins, and, in the middle of it, after the balance of forces moves to our side, a curious grizzly bear from the wilds comes.

The creature attacks some injured enemies, killing them. Cool, I think: less enemies, thank you, bear. But then it choses me as a target and luckily latches on a leg. OH SHI..

The adventurer can do nothing, some remaining companions are injured and quite far, attacking the bear doesn't help much... Bleeding to death is a result of some shakings.

Then I got another one, same thing. I set out for the lair, and finally arrive...

"OH WHY HELLO MR. NIGHT CREATURE AND MRS. NIGHT CREATURE AND YOUR TWO CONSORT FRIENDS SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING I'LL JUST BE GOING NOW OH GOD THE PAIN"

Started an adventurer out as a peasant and spent like an hour grinding knapping/throwing before setting out on my first quest. I had to kill a human bandit guy, so I headed to his camp, subdued him with pointy rocks, and wrestled him easily to death. Basking in the glow of my first victory, I didn't even notice the MINOTAUR OUT OF NOWHERE. I threw all my shit at him like my life depended it and then he beat me to death with a pick. I guess the solitary bandit was just adventurer bait... but I definitely wasn't expecting to fight a minotaur so early >:U

I had just started a new adventurer and set out on my first quest. It was close to night-time so i stop to sleep in a forest. As I look back now, that was me first error. All of a sudden i am awoken to the message of some night-creature. I assumed it was just another boogeyman attack and moved towards the creature. What I forgot was that I was stunned from sleeping and so the creature attacked and killed me with one hit.

I remember I once had a legendary swordsman who was sent to attack a frost wyrm (I think). I travelled all the way there and found it in its cave. I immediately began a long battle with this frost wyrm and a lucky (unlucky?) strike had caused him to release some kind of frost vapour, and we were both encased in ice together, with me about to land the final blow upon the beast. I can imagine dwarven excavators finding a large block of ice with my adventurer raising his sword as his foot held down a wounded wyrm, an image to serve as the symbol of a once proud hero.

So, not really that BS after all  :)

Pesant character grinded the throwing/archery to legendary +19, Ambushing to legandry and knapper to legandry before going out to kill some animals for training, killed and butchered a horse and groundhog, taking my time and getting a lot of hammer, striker, kicker, and biter points, nearly novice in them now. spotted another horse and threw bolts and hit it in the spine tearing apart the nervious tissue and the horse falls over. I sneak over and start bashing planning on hitting it three times, backing away, then waiting for it's action. Well it did not quite go as planned after hitting it twice with my crossbow, it's right front leg shoots out and grabs me by the throat, I can't break the grip and it starts choking me, I try hiting it a couple more times then pass out and see 15X the horse strangles you , followed by a you have suffocated.


Forgot the horse and ground hog in my backpack slowed me to only two moves for every 1 move of a crawling horse. Shoulda dropped the backpack, shoulda sliced it in the throat with the daggar I had in hand. I guess I panicked. So Lame! <facedesk>

This one just happened to me:

I'm running a pretty highly modded DF, which focus's on having more "end game" stuff, like crafting, re-conquering my fortress as a home, spell skills, etc.

Now, I had failed a lot, but finally got an elf adventurer to get kind of far as a mage.  He had a number of kills under his belt, a nice selection of gear and good skills.  I went out to go kill a bandit for a human hamlet.  After raining magic down on him and killing his little camp I got to looting.  Not paying much attention to what was happening in the area.

Then the wolves came.

This nine hour adventurer who I was very proud of didn't get in a single attack.  He just fell over and died.

BAM! You have collided with an obstacle 17 floors down!
