I'm changing my plans up. I'm going to Deathtraps, then to Island Paddles. If I don't die or get maimed in either of those places, I'll think about further exploring dwarven fortresses. This area is absolutely littered with them!
Another river. Does this mean more sponges?
Nope, it means even deadlier fish!
Oh hey, my archer buddy is shooting it! Maybe I should stick around...
I never knew fish could fall over like that...
Gah, more fish! These waters must be cleansed!
Fine dining at the cost of a meat shield. I hope a fortress has some more archers...
I fished him and the sturgeon out of the water. I am going to enjoy eating that fish. 54 portions of meat from that fish! And that's not counting the organs, which can feed 3 men each!
Giant Sparrows! Men, form up!
It was only one sparrow that we ran into, the others must have flown away!
I have found a lair. Most likely explored, but I must search it anyway.
I haven't found the lair but...
I wonder who went through the trouble of pulling all these from the flesh!
I've found other body parts lying around as well, a skull, a nail, and a second skull. I'd best clear out, there's probably nothing for me within that lair.
(Who the hell is Dema Ethithieti Amethaucucoyare, and why is he scattered about the hillside?)
Another river, and this time thrips men are by it!
And an alligator that has appeared RIGHT NEXT TO ME HOLY SHIT!
Whew, thankfully I picked up a bronze bolt from the area around that lair. I threw it like a dart and it chipped the alligator's bone! That, and my pikeman stabbing it's lungs spelled it's demise.
A second alligator came from the river and towards the pikeman, we swiftly killed it within seconds. And the lasher was off breaking every bone in a thrips man's body, before smashing his head open.
What's that monstrosity!?
I'm going to feel like a true beast hunter after killing this!
AHHGH!! MY ARM!! I CAN'T FEEL MY ARM!!
OW! FUCK! FUCK! I NEEDED THAT!
I bet that smug fucker is holding back a laugh... I hope this doesn't get infected!
"Heavy Bleeding, Faint"
Ahh... This hurts... I drank some water and the bleeding's stopped, but I feel as if I already lost too much blood...
I'm now holding the iron battle axe in my left hand, and my shield like a targe. I hope this doesn't effect me too much, I MUST get to the museum!
Hah! I've still got it!
I just killed an alligator snapping turtle. Not as threatening as a real alligator, but still dangerous. And now I have it's shell!
2 Barn Owl Women, a Cockatiel Woman, and some fast travel later...
Goblins? NOW? Of all times, and these seem to be centipede fanatics!
My lasher was shot in the leg! I ran down the hill to my pikeman fighting a pike goblin, and helped out. It appears that the pike goblin had an iron helm! My lucky... hour....
My lasher was bested by a lasher, and that same goblin lasher is now breaking the legs of my pikeman! I must run!
My friends are dead, and I'm being chased by their murderer!
I found a river! Perhaps I can fight him inside! I hope he can't swim!
Maybe not, I'd best cross the river as soon as possible!
I have escaped a torturous death thrice in one day... I'd best find a hamlet as soon as possible!
I've found a village and... It reaks of goblin flesh! This is a goblin settlement! FUCK!
I seem to have intruded on something here...
A bunch of farmers just beat one of their own hammermen to death!
After killing one and maiming one, they're fighting each other! What kind of settlement is this!?
With these kills to my name, I feel as if I should add a title to myself!
"Meng Craftplan The Dip of Targeting"
What's this? There's also human corpses in this house!
(I feel as if I'm witnessing an adventure mode loyalty cascade.)
This goblin hammerman had a silver hammer. I wonder how he didn't win the fight.
Ech, upon stepping out of the house I'm confronted by a very large gobliness... She keeps on pushing me to the ground and trying to climb ontop of me! I fear for the worst.
With a great leap, I cleave her skull, but she still moves! She falls and causes a shockwave that rumbles the earth and trees around her! I take my chance and cleave her skull again, this time tearing the brain!
I have entered another house filled with goblins feasting upon human corpses! Are they herding the humans like cattle!?
I don't care one way or the other, THEY MUST DIE!
Their houses are made of chalk! This must be an insult to dwarven forts that don't have flux stone!
(My notable kills have gone up from 6 to 24 after clearing 3 houses!)
Killed a spearman and took his iron breastplate. This village may prove to be profitable to me!
OH FUCK, MY OTHER ARM! I NEEDED THAT ONE EVEN MORE!!!
what.
I threw an iron arrow and made him go unconcious...
I'M GONNA STEP ON HIS FACE UNTIL IT EXPLODES!!
TAKE THAT YOU FUCK!
Alright, time to flee the town with my one noodle arm, and hopefully I can find the museum and retire over there.
Hopefully.
I kicked a suturer on the way out of the house, he needs a new brain. I had a kicking fight with an equally impaired goblin, and came out the winner.
My work here is done, and I must find the museum before the night creatures consume me.
Ugh...
I've spent the night in the snow, and my breakfast consisted of sturgeon brains and sucking my thumb for my own blood.
This is absolutely horrible. At least my name will live on if I can make it to the museum.
I have made it to death traps. I fear that I must spend the night inside. I hope I'm not bothered too much by animals.
I wish I could have lived here while it was still in it's glory days.
I think this was just a dummy cavern. There's nothing but the volcano bridge and the tracks with seemingly no use. There's a stone block blocking what would look like a path into the fortress, but I guess it's not worth anything to me.
I've found a waterfall filled with carp! Those fish might end up suffocating on the bottom...
Dinnerwandered is still fairly far away.
The goblin hamlet that took my left arm's strength away would be "Malicehollow"
It's in "The Systemic Desert," the same desert that housed the giant scorpion that took my right arm away. I want to know why that desert doesn't like dwarven arms.
I'm running low on sturgeon organs, this has been my only and my worst adventure. This stupid bone figurine probably isn't worth my two arms, but at least I will be immortalized in the museum's history. So not all is lost. I just hope I can kick some animals to death to further feed me while I journey towards Dinnerwandered.
Of course, the river I have to ford is surrounded by giant zombie birds! But they wont best me! I probably wont best them either, but I'll live!
Shit, the birds and zombie sparrow women are chasing me across the desert! Not even the river could seperate us!
NOW THERE'S AN ANGRY HONEY BADGER CHASING ME! HE ISN'T EVEN A ZOMBIE, WHAT THE FUCK!
Correction, he stopped and charged at the sparrow man. This should buy me some time as I cross the brook.
What brave little animals.
Thankfully, I sleep another night without interruption by bogeymen. Too bad I only have one portion of sturgeon tripe left. I wonder if I can choke animals with my legs...
I have found a fort! Hopefully it is inhabited by friends of dwarves, or maybe dwarves themselves!
But first, I must kill this weasle.
I'm surprised that I found a use for my stump arm!
aaand I can't butcher it. Fuck.
Oh hey, a honey badger corpse right by the front gates of the fort. They've helped me TWICE now.
Damnit, I can't even hold the axe properly to get at the very least it's eyeballs out! I'm going to starve to death!
Perfect, just like the first fort I found. No one lives inside, and there's dead animals strewn about. This time none of them are even butchered for me!
There's no food in the scant pieces of equipment that remain in the fortress.
I've found a human settlement! I'm saved! NOW WHERE'S THE PRICKLEBERRIES!?
They don't have any. At least I'm close enough to dinnerwandered to be able to trade in the marketplace over there.
I walk up into the house and what do I see? An old old man dying near me!
I'll stay here for the night, so I'm guaranteed safety from bogeymen.
I drink the last of my water and lick a gold coin that I found near the lair and drift off to sleep.
I'm sooo hungry, and not even any breakfast to tide me over until dinnerwandered! I hope I have enough things to buy food!
A bridge over a waterfall? A pretty luxury for such a small hamlet!
I fear that it will get bloody near Dinnerwandered.
I have made it to dinnerwandered just as dusk settles in! I shall dine like a king tomorrow morning!
Perhaps I shall dine today!
This child is inside of that food imports store... I would fear for my life if I slept inside of there!
Okay...
I'll just walk by you and...
What.
Okay then, this town is REALLY creeping me out.
Took some clothes off of a dead guy, and traded them in exchange for 15 portions of sperm whale kidneys. I'd love to know how they got a sperm whale ABOVE LAND in the first place.
This is probably a greeting sign for the museum! Probably.
Just one more step and I'm inside!
*sniff* BLEUGH WHAT IS THAT STENCH!? THERE'S DEAD THINGS EVERYWHERE!
I'm dropping off my figurine of floating guts and my iron battle axe next to these adamantine weapons, I don't even care right now.
I have retired in dinner wandered wearing an iron breasplate and iron helmet, some cloth and leather goblinite, a wild boar ivory amulet, and with a functional stump arm, and a defunct noodle arm. It's been quite !!FUN!!
(I killed 3 goblins with my feet, and a weasle with my stump arm.)
