So, there I was, butt-naked in the middle of the camp. I pay little attention when "the axeman woke up," though I was a little surprised that one of my companions had survived.

A few rounds later, he approaches me as I continue to sift through my new-found wealth and cuts off my hand. I believe it takes me another two rounds to realize that this is one of the enemy!

Naturally, I run away, bleeding heavily. He is rather wounded though, and, being naked, my speed is higher. I loop around and proceed to dress and arm (still have both arms, just missing one hand) myself while he stands politely about five tiles away. I then proceed to slowly beat him to death with my silver flail. Then, out of spite, perhaps, I beat to death another of his companions who was also heavily wounded before spotting yet another who has not participated in the battle.

I decide at this point to run away, because this one is healthy. At least I am fully clothed, armed, and with sufficient food and water for a while. I report my successes, and proceed to gather a new little party - six whole followers! Can you believe it! Apparently the missing hand and the long straight scar on my upper right arm added some gravitas and mystique to my character that his very low linguistic ability never could.

I am off to ill some more bandits, or to "lead (them) to glory and death." Whichever.

So, I have been playing DF for five months or so. I have abandoned a dozen or so fortresses, and recently downloaded the new update (got a new laptop and the update came out just before - coincidence? Yes.). I am on my first fortress of the update, and I decided to try adventure mode again. I had played adventure mode a bit about four months ago, but framerate in towns was abysmal (1 per 10 seconds or something), and in hamlets it was pretty bad too, so I stopped. This time it's still kinda slow in towns (it can get down to 1 per 2 seconds at times). I have lost 5 adventurers in 36 hours. I am learning macros. They don't usually do what I think I have told them to do yet. on the other hand, my "make sharp rock" macro is pretty solid.

I made a very minor correction on a wiki page the other day, so I figured it was time to make an account, and here I am. Hello!

p.s. if there is an introduction thread somewhere, I will be happy to remove this one and go there instead. I couldn't find one. Urist McNoob may or may not have gone insane.

"You cannot sneak, because somebody can see you." I'm new. This is the most exciting thing that has happened with this adventurer.
