explored the abandoned fortress of a friend of mine, a huge crevice with the rooms on the side and such.
in my search for the artifact shield i descended into the fortress, i encountered a demon, beheaded him without much trouble
<repeat for 23 floors>
upon arriving on the 24 floor of the fortress, very, very deep.
i saw a corner, and i heard the faint sounds of combat, a demon was receiving a lot of pain.
a moment later the demon was propelled into the crevice, by a monster unknown to me.
then, i saw the shield, just around THAT corner, i thought that i could sneak and then outrun that monster....
i picked up the shield, while sneaking, i was spotted, and saw the monster that killed everyone...
he was made of adamantine, had claws, and wings.
i started running, up, to the exit.
when i reached the surface, he took the air, and kicked me into the crevice, falling 100 Z levels down, dead, together with all the dwarf corpses and other dead things at the bottom.
This is madness.
No, this.... IS.... DWARF FORTRESS!!!
Anyway, I've died several times now during early game by accidentally pressing shift+s instead of shift+a, causing me to break sneak in the middle of twenty bandits with no companions and no armor... I really need to build that muscle memory.
