Once, I had a titan made of water attack my fortress really early on. I only had my one guarddwarf from the starting seven, so I sent him out while trying to think up a plan B.
The guarddwarf walked up to the titan, roundhouse kicked it's head off, and went inside to get a drink.


As for adventure mode:
I was a swordsdwarf wandering through a (modded) haunted swamp when I got ambushed by three boogeymen. I chopped off the hand of one, then ran it through. I beheaded the second, and then sliced open the third. Just as the cackling subsided, I suddenly got hit in the back with a paralysis spell. I fell back into the mud, unable to move as a "n" icon scurried up to me. It was the severed hand of the first boogeyman! It crawled onto my face and suffocated me to death.

Let this be a lesson to us all: Immortality is only temporary. That's why its called immortality.

It seems that it being inevitable was...inevitable.

Goblins have kidnapped the mountainhome?
Are you a bad enough dwarf to save it?

Yes.

It was actually pretty easy... I just decapitated the one goblin, took his head and found the rest of my dwarven brothers in battle at the trade depot, tossed the head amidst them and all the goblins freaked out and ran away.

That is so incredibly awesome.

Finally reached Thunderbreaked, and I must have misunderstood the rumors. Thunderbreaked was an elven retreat, being besieged by humans. My arrival is greeted by a single elf corpse at the bottom of a tree, and it's relatively fresh. I climb the tree, hoping to find someone alive who can tell me what happened here. I reach the top, take a deep breath, and call out for someone.

Crash to desktop.

10/10

Unfortunately, loading my character puts me at where I started this morning, on the other side of the continent. I'll just try fortress mode for now.

There are two big crashes in adventure mode, the first is from trying to talk to your deity and the second is from trying to block. If you play as an outsider you don't have a god to worry about.

But I've used the shoutout before, trying to wake a bunch of elves during a bogeyman attack. It only crashes when there is nobody around to hear it.

So I'm out climbing trees like a good little elf when I hear two peasants gossiping of an army marching toward the human civilization of Thunderbreaked. I'll be fed to a troll before I miss out on that, so I ask  them how to get there. Neither of them know, and tell me to ask someone more well-traveled. So I start walking towards the nearest human settlement. Surely they'll know.

On the road, I happen upon a human caravan. Perfect! Less walking for me! I  tell him about the  invasion and ask how to get there. He marks its location on my map and says it's impossible to reach from this region. The continent is seperated into halves by a massive lake with  a mountain range on each side, and the only way through is a single road on the other side of the region from me. I decide to sleep on it. Bogeymen make the decision for me.


Start again as a dwarf on the other end of the region,  closer to the one road. It's been a month since  the march on Thunderbreaked started, so it's probably over by now. I wander about the fortress, hopelessly lost, asking if anyone knows how Thunderbreaked is doing. I eventually reach the exit, greeted by a trading caravan at the depit!  I'm surprised to hear from them that the march is still happening. Are the rumors out of date, or is the march  really that slow? Either way, I need to get to Thunderbreaked.

I followed the  map east, towards the road, until I reached a human settlement. "You feel uneasy." Quite the warm welcome. A pikeman suddenly charged at me from behind a corner. I dodged out of the way, and asked that he lay down his arms. "Never!" Fine, if you won't lay down your arms, I'll take them from you. I drew my axe, dodged his jab, and lobbed off his arm. He screamed and passed out. I was still hoping for a surrender, so I patiently paced back and forth until he woke up and begged for mercy. Apparently  he was part of a gang that was in the process of terrorizing this town.  Farther down the street, I could hear peoples cries for help. Thunderbreaked can wait (hopefully), this town needs me now.

I am loving every second of this update, but I gotta be at work in four hours, so I should give sleep a try.
