Just had a goblin thief ambush my legendary woodcutter, and took his right arm clean off with a dagger. The tough mofo continued to chop down 2 more trees and was on his way to a 3rd when he fell unconscious from bloodloss (with a trail of blood from tree to tree)

Was totally monty python, with the description of "has sustained Minor injuries recently" - upgraded to "Major injuries" once a doc had diagnosed the problem.
Didn't need any medical care and walked straight out of the hospital. (I'm almost expecting it to grow back with this dwarfs regen stats)

"What's wrong with me Doc?"
"You have no right arm"
"Nah! It's just a flesh wound!"

I don't know what you guys are talking about, my millita commander (which I nicknamed Slaughter) instakilled two forgotten beasts. One made of flesh and the other made of some kind of gem.
He has something like 200 kills, and is the main source of meat for the fort.

It depends on the RNG. You always get easy ones that can be killed by a single crossbow bolt to tough mofos that make bronze colossus look like kittens. Add in the extra !fun! of syndromes that can instant-blind/ko/rot your dwarfs and doom your fort if any of that blood/splatter ends up in your hospital/well/dining/booze area. 

You didn't have to throw the giant cave toad into the room with them!

I just found a dragon egg in a lair. Now I'm wondering if I can get it to hatch into a tame dragon in DF mode.

I don't even want to think about what the 100 nekkid dwarfs are doing crammed into a 5x5 well room, are doing with their soap.
They make a lot of friends though.

Basically there are no special items or artifacts in the game unless you create a fort and your dwarves create them

There is the unique named Art created in worldgen that can be on any piece of junk like a copper crossbow. I've only found about 2 out of 1500 in my current world. Shame there aren't any artifacts, there is a real shortage of loot in adv mode (other than made in a DF)

If you are scarce on comrades in advent mode, you can simply create your own army by creating and retiring adventurers in a single town or fortress and then swoop by and recruit them all.

sounds like a good way to get them some gear too.

Does the brook freeze in winter? because it'll freeze just as you need the waterwheel or that injured dwarf needs water
