I just had a well-crafted crutch adorned with oak rings and gold etchings. When my leg was chopped off, I equipped and suddenly I could jump and dodge like before! Wierd.

Yea, it's description said it's a twisted creature or something, just like the shadow beasts you have to kill during quests. So it was a demon, probably. The most amazing thing is - my original hero was killed, and I started a second one, and I just met this demon while searching a troll's lair! What a coincidence, he had two scars, and was boasting about his victories during the first adventure, but he did not let me recruit him. What a pity.

I have just defeated a shadow spouse, and when looting the lair, a hydra came to look what's up. We killed it only with two other dwarves - a spearman's head was cleanly bitten off, the hamerdwarf got both arms torn off, but he kept on kicking and biting, diverging hydra's attention long enough for me to impale her heart, spleen and liver with an iron spear. After that, the hydra seemed to lose ability to hurt anyone. What was most disgusting - a diamond quern in the corner, with human bone meal all around. Disgusting. Curiously, when I came back to a fortress to recruit, with only the surviving, mutilated hammerdwarf, new recruits swarmed under my flag with enthusiasm. Strange folk inhabits these lands, I tell you.

Just found a prisoner marmot in a human fortress. He asked me to "get him out" when I offered him to join (though he stated he did not need my services before). So I led him out, noone tried to stop me (strange, but I did not check my reputation with the fortress civ).

He follows me now, and is quite capable in combat. Strange thing was that he was fully armored and armed even when imprisoned. But he outrun me when attacking an outlaw camp and gutted their leader before I could even come to melee range. He seems to be really fast.

Sneak into a lair, if you are lucky, you can steal some equipment and get away. If you are not, your kidneys and brain will end up on a frying pan.

Anyway, I looked up Nithros and it's a deity depicted as human female. How did that lizard fiend manage to convince anyone he is her manifestation is beyond me.

Anyway, Luxurious Kingdoms have an interesting history. Their first ever lawgiver got his post by "threat of violence" (and it was some puny human), three years before Tusnom.

Luxurious Kingdoms seem to be well organized - Fellowship of Rocks started building a huge highway called The Way of Blunting, and what League of Drinks and Climatic Council did is quite obvious. The whole history is divided into short, intense conflicts with some group called The Small Incest of Excavated Terror, and long periods of peace when Tusnom expanded his noble henchmen. I thing was in love with genealogy trees.

Maybe it's a manifestation of the European Union in a parallel universe after all...
