And on a seperate note, what shrine?

There's one with a Bronze Colossus in the Granite Plains right next to the cit... wait, the Maroon Plains?

You started out where Corai did, which is on the opposite side of that evil ocean from where Nish and Melkor started. Quite a bit farther to travel, sadly. I'd recommend heading due south to the nearest mountain range and skimming along beside it down to the range that runs parallel to the southern edge of the map before heading due west.

Orky, if you do start at the Maroon Plains, quickly get a reputation so you have a chance of peasantry following you. Cause they have no soldiers to escort you. I cleaned the dingo and wolf packs, so fast travel should be easy.

Secret to survival:
Do not fast travel. Just enter sneak mode and sneak across vast expanses of countryside. When you have legendary sneak, then you can fast travel. Nothing will ambush you.

Just tried that with Nish and it doesn't work even with a Legendary+3 Ambusher as he kept getting attacked by anacondas and four boogeymen. A Legendary Observer might be able to pull it off, but not an Ambusher.

Anyway:

Dingoes are dangerous.

Giant dingoes are basically war dogs that are as angry as badgers and as powerful as grizzlies, and as big as well.

A bite'n'shake is almost a guaranteed lost arm/leg/hand/foot/whatever. They're huge to boot, and nastily fast.

I only killed three before I had to flee, getting away but being ambushed again on my way back to town, and died to them.

Legendary Ambusher, don't even fast travel then. I don't know how to train observer, but if there is a way max that shit out. Nothing can stop bogeymen from ambushing you if you travel at night, though.

Fighting trains Observer. I usually don't bother with skill points at all in Adventure Mode anymore, but just put towns and fortresses in for dwarves. It's just a matter of wandering through keeps and catacombs until I find a set of armor and then popping off to the nearest cavern when I can find some troglodytes. They swarm my dwarf, but can't hurt him and Armor User/Shield User/Dodger/Fighter/Observer gets to Adequate levels before he gets tired and I start killing them to make it less tiring.

Even in this case, I wouldn't waste points on Fighter. It gains skill fast enough and those points are better spent in Dodger/Shield User. Besides, the more skills you build from the ground up, the faster your attributes increase.

By the by, can someone PLEASE upload JUST The save file?
The last few people have been uploading the whole bloody GAME into the download, and for whatever reason when I try and move the region save into my version of DF it doesn't show up at all.
