I can't wait to see the forum threads popping : "my legendary adventurer got grabbed by a roc and now I'm 50z above ground, what do I do"

Climb up and ride it, obviously.

Then piledrive it into the ground.

Grab a tree branch at the last second.

Good idea; that way you'll get your arm ripped off just before you splatter on the ground.

Only in Dwarf Fortress, gentleurists.
Personally, I would recommend climbing up onto the Roc, snapping one of its wings, and piloting the creature to it's oh-so-messy demise. Try and land upright, that way you can at least train up as a crutchwalker if you break your legs.

Found a random tomb. Wandered in.

Got diced by the mummy. This is why you respect your ancestors, kids.

I did something similar as an orc, once. I then found out that mithril armor means nothing to them.

But, as the quote goes, "[...] beyond that my experience mirrors yours."

Sign language uses mostly the same regions of the brain as spoken language.

Some mushrooms can expel spores with a puff of air, maybe these can modulate that function to speak. Which means, whenever one speaks ...

Here at Bay12 we excel at Theoretical Biology. Need to know the value of Merbone? Check. Need to know the density of a thrown Fluffy Wambler? Check. Need to know how a walking Mushroom can theoretically talk? Check.

Here at Bay12 we make Newton our bitch and Darwin suck our dicks.

And that's when we're not making them roll over in their graves and harvesting the rotation as a source of perpetual energy.

I took a different approach on my subsequent attempts. After losing to an overload of !FUN! in the engine (read: it crashed), I decided to go for a different tower, and a different set of powers. I checked the legends viewer, and found a nearby slab containing the Dark Arts -- Raise Revenant, Heartbleed, Organ Failure, and Blindness, as it turns out. I also realized how bad of an idea it is to take [ALIVE] companions with you when trekking to such a tower. I think Mina is dead... Henceforth, I named my organization in memory of her loss -- The Order of Sorrows. My first act is currently demonstrating my immense power by single-handedly razing a Kobold hillock. I kinda feel bad for the little guys, but this is only the beginning. I am aware of multiple towers, which I shall trek to, and gain the secrets within. Then, when I feel ready, I shall first kill that damned frost wyrm in Epousecorridors, and then I shall see about raiding the four vaults of my world.

Failing, I'll end up dying to someone in an epic duel. At least I'll have the highest kill total of anything in my world first. For [GLORY] and [MAT:BLOOD]!

Meanwhile, I finally generated a new world with Masterwork that fits my style. I promptly found the local temple, and Ol, wise and mighty wind god that he is, blessed me with vampirism. I have since gone on to kill several random individuals, and, much to my amusement, something that I can only assume was a night troll wielding a copper mallet in one of its four arms. I also found a platinum bow, but that's not important yet.

The full orchicalcum gear probably helped there, as well as my decision to start throwing battle axes. My succubus companion ran off, for whatever reason, but at least she was alive at the end of the fight. Quite unlike the troll.

 I was also rather disappointed by the fact that I'm pretty sure I was unable to decorate my weapon with Night Troll bone rings. I could have made an amulet, but it's just not the same anymore. My plan from here is to use my incredible Vampiric prowess, and my lovely assistant, to become a Vampire Wizard. Or a Vampire Cult Leader, if I can figure out how to do that.

So, if they're called "Forgotten Beasts", why do we know of them?

Okay, done.  Smak is a wonderful name for a big dumb orc with a giant steam-powered hammer.

Navatar, you have 57 kills with 30 of them notable. Omega has 62 with 43 notable ones.  For comparison, the unclaimed blademaster ronin has 50 kills with 41 notable ones.  You are falling behind, Nav.

DAAAYUUUM.

If he dies in combat, I'd like another Ork. Preferably named "The Ashlord".

he might be around till the end, like HolisticDetective from over in Headshoots.
