Okay, I'll hazard a reading of Black Lagoon

(my audio systems are fucked, D:)

Spoiler: The one in the maid outfit is a Terminator......acurate, but an an understatement really.

As Knigel said, you're gonna' have to really rely on various things from throwing stuff to breaking bones to effectively take out opponents because even with max stats it won't always be easy. Especially regarding larger opponents that can't be grappled easy...misc objects themselves aren't the most efficient, either thrown or smacked with, unless they're fairly large.

Actually from your thread title...I was expecting you to want to be able to do this:

But alas...that's near impossible too with vanilla races right now.

I fixed my link

Huh....I didn't realize that the glowing walls of the abyss were.......rainbow themed...

Ok...here's the steps:

1. Got to be in sneaking mode
2. Encounter hostile/scared animal target
3. You have to be Spotted and/or attacked
4. Take out target (with or w/o help from companion....not sure, let 'em get a hit at least)
5. Companion will somehow "Lose sight of you" and just stand there. To check talk to them and you will see:

It's as if they're in town again...

Want to check? Sure...just 'T'ravel:


For science's sake I continued to obsherve the creahtures in thay're natural habitat. Crickey! The buggah's seem to be heading to a local Elven town ruin!


And I lost sight of 'em in Travel mode. I circled around to be sure and I then entered the Old Ruins, destroyed in a Elven-Human War that is still goin' on so that's probably why they didn't go there even when it's nearer, and suprise suprise:


The drunk guy crawling in the ground is my first companion that I lost the old fashioned way: when he got distracted chasing wolves & monkeys. But alas, they will automatically join you again if you "find" them so I just redid the ol' trick to lose the buggers.

Extra Notes:
-This is an old save, it's my 1st Kobold adventurer from earlier versions that I kept on transferring to updated ones (currently using .11 or .12) & one side effect of it is that even though I am covered w/ scars, I can no longer see that descriptions (Although the body parts with old wounds still have colored text.

So this may actually just be an anomaly or weird glitch. Do try it yourselves and share your results.

Personally, I don't play a new DF  version if it doesn't have  a new update/feature/fix for Adventure Mode

Been encountering Harpies a lot lately...tried something while sneaking behind one distracted by my partner:

Yup...my adventurer jumped after it & in 3 moves defeated it.

Tried it on different creatures as well & found it quite effective as simple as it is. Guess I've found a rather efficient way to take out multiple foes 99% of the time in only a few turns as long as I'm are fast enough (CQC baby!)...my adventurer was a Kobold with legendary stats sure, but he was a tiny twerp compared to most.

During a goblin ambush, a mother of two(legendary axedwarf/wrestler, squad captain) died, leaving two orphan children behind. I started to feel bad, so I booted up Runesmith. Turns out that messing with those tags is a very bad idea. I guess i'd messed with the undead tags, so even though i could still assign labors and such, she was treated as a skeletal dwarf. Her first task was to seek her infant. She picked it up. Then, she squeezed. There was a shower of blood. This woman proceeded to murder both of her children before being put down by her former squadmates.

Of all the various media that you've seen...the message is is pretty clear that 99% of the time:
