I've been playing DF for a little bit, not long enough to get very far in Dwarf mode but I am absolutely loving Adventure mode and then I found the forums. So I thought I'd share.
The land of Anurnitom, The Wonderous Planets. An ancient land with over 1,000 years of history, many fortresses have risen and fallen, and quite a number of adventurers have wandered it's land. Unfortunately, the dwarves are all but extinct, and the goblins have taken a massive foothold in the land. Enter the adventurer.
Ineth Rėtharlikot Ish Savot, Ineth Trammelink the Bars of Standing. A dwarven hero who seeks to rid the world of the numerous Megabeasts. An adequate bone carver, they plan on carving depictions of the battle from the very bones of the beast, spreading them around the world to let everyone know that they have fallen.
Once I got in, I went about tracking down armor, and quickly found a full set of steel armor as well as a steal spear and shield from within an abandoned fortress. Knowing I needed some practice, I searched for some low population dark puts but ended up stumbling upon a cave. I knew that terrifying creatures may lurk within, so I turned to leave, but curiosity got the better of me, and I slowly, quietly entered.
The cave eventually lead to a series of trap filled corridors. I was unfamiliar with the design and wasn't sure what to expect, but out from the darkness, two yellow eyes could be seen. Kobolds. I was sneaking, and real well, so I was able to get right up behind it, preparing my spear. But then I thought, "This kobald has a weapon, and I'm not too skilled yet, so I should disarm it first, for safety". So I grab it's sword and yanked it from it's hands. The kobald immediately yielded and ran away, crying.
At first I felt bad, these poor kobalds, they're some of the last of their kind(literally, there are only 37 left) and one day some big dwarf comes in and takes their only means of protection right out of their hands. I decided that these little cutebolds could live. But then one shot me with an arrow.
The aftermath is still told to kobald children, to keep them from wandering away at night. I... I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and children too...
Anyway. After that fiasco I was seriously encumbered from all that kobald loot and I went off and sold it, including the dozens of eggs I found. After that, I've mostly been exploring ancient fortresses, most of them destroyed by a megabeast. I make my first assault on the goblins tonight, hopefully I can gain a foothold.
