Page 300 of "Stupid Adventurer Deaths". #5647

Now there was a dwarf named Orky Firebolt who was on a pilgramige to 'The Watchful Rags' with no reason other than because Destiny said so. Only a day had passed when...

...he was pulled into the water by a group of carp facefirst. He managed to drag himself out of the water, but the carp still managed to rip at his flesh at the edge of the water, and he quickly bled to death.

"So what's the moral of the story, uncle Urist?"

Well, never walk right by a river that you are not sure has carp of not, and if you are, then you should do your best to keep your journey as far away from that deathtrap as possible.

Well hell THAT Was fast :(
Death by carp...

You know Orky, given this world... You may the FIRST Dwarf to ever be killed by Carp!
Perhaps there is glory in your death?

For the map, Zip it and load it to DFFD

Damnit, apparently I had once made an account on it, but I never activated it, and I don't see the activation email...

Sh*t. I'll see if I can make a new account, and I'll use that one...

No dice... Let's see if my parents will let me use their email...

EDIT: Nevermind. Using Mediafire. Here's the file:

Alright, I'm in. Looks like I'll actually get in on a succession fort for once.

You seem to be under the impression that we're playing some game other than dwarf fortress. It doesn't matter how powerful you make a creature, we will find a way to destroy it. God is dead, and Urist killed him.

Friendly reminder: succession games go under community stories.

Also, used to do this all the time! Earliest you can embark is year 2 though.

EDIT: Only saw first page when I posted this, sorry!

Do we have to wait for our turn to adventure? Or can we just start up whenever? Cuz I'm going now.

Downloading the world now. (I've got an active DFFD account so I can upload it there when I'm done.)

Before I start: Orky, your killer:

Spoiler: Skills and Attributes (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Name and Skills (click to show/hide)

Day One of the life of Lord Reudh Noblebattle the Ageless Nightmare of Apes:

I awoke to find myself in a human town. Filthy creatures. I also appear to have a silver battle axe. Curses. I hope to acquire a new weapon soon.

To that end, I met a young human called Kes Pessalcone, or Kes Renownrinsed. He seemed pleased to see someone other than the raft of farmers that inhabit this hovel. He's coming with me; to die or to accompany me, I don't know.

I hope to head south west to the mountainhome. ((Is it southwest?))
No one seems to need service of me; it's almost enough to drive a dwarf mad.

So I head with Kes west out of the town. We see some buzzards, so I throw stones at them while Kes sits back and smiles. He's alright, for a human.
I couldn't seem to hit them until I figured out I could arc my stones up in the air- with one shot I hit the pathetic bird in the guts, making it sick. It fell to the ground where I chopped its wing off.

Kes and I have dinner tonight.

By the time I picked up the buzzard's meat, Kes espied two snapping turtles and chased after them. His copper greataxe really is amazing- with two shots he got both of them. I may as well stock up on the meat.

I think that Kes and I are going to make a formidable duo. Over a feast of turtle tripe and buzzard meat, I told him that he is now to be known as "Kes Renownedrinsed", the Not Bad Ape.
