Bay 12 Games Forum

Alright... have read all 69 pages.

Wow.

Some amazing adventures here, a few hell-walkers like ol' Dishmab the Deathless.

Please, sign me up for a turn. Going to have to play some adventure mode to throw the cobwebs off!

I give up.

I have now crashed on three occasions.

First as described, then two more in different locations.

This guy was moderately successful with 52 goblin kills to his name, and then crashed as I approached a fortress.

I don't have the time right now to start again.

Pass the save to the next person please.

I am still formatting my story from the 1st game.

Will download Tehsapper's save game tonight and get started.

My playtime in DF2014 is fairly limited so the story could be.. brief.

28th Slate 1193

Onec the Bandit snuck carefully into the abandoned keep, past dust and cobwebs, as the wind whistled through the gatehouse. His torch flickered and his pulse quickened. Surely the stories couldn’t be true?

Steeling himself, he entered the central courtyard, abandoned and eerie. Pale moonlight illuminated the sinister keep ahead. Onec pressed on.

The door creaked as Onec pushed inside the abandoned building, a gust of chill wind tugging at his badger leather cloak. According to local myth, a malign creature lived atop this castle and Onec had been dared by his brothers to uncover it. Fear now clenched his heart.

Atop a stone throne sat the ancient corpse of a squat dwarf.  The creature was encased in blue armour, caked with dust of decades and the congealed gore of untold monsters. On his brow sat a crown of blackened bone. Onec stared at this crown which appeared to twist and ripple, hurting his eyes.

Onec was paralysed by fear as without warning a malevolent glow began to shimmer in the dead dwarf’s eye sockets. Unable to resist, Onec found his throat in the grip of the evil creature.

A voice like death rasped in his head…. “Who are you and why have you come?”

“Onec… Onec Snuggledbunnies…. I am a bandit!” he found himself saying.

The dwarf corpse laughed! Snuggledbunnies!

Black fangs sunk into Onec’s throat and the corpse drained him dry. Kosoth Griffonblaze the Shaken Galley had awakened.

In the backpack of the supposed bandit, Kosoth found a journal detailing the plans of the bandit group – they had hoped to steal from Kosoth and use his treasures to defeat a dragon!

Well so far I have reached Crescentattic, the fort that sits at the narrow isthmus between the continents.

So far, there have been zombie dragons and minotaurs beaten to death by their own guts...

Congratulations, you have survived the Systemic Desert!

While wandering and coming across corpses I find DFHack deathcause provides a wealth of information on who has tread here before me...

I am downloading the save game so that I can record your exploits on the roll call of mighty heroes.

Edit: Taking forever to download 230MB from DFFD! God knows how long it took you to upload...

I am pretty sure there were bits of Kaslun in the adventurer's retirement home. Not sure if they ever got interred in the Tomb of Heroes.
