Entry 2-
Phones Starchampion
Date: 5th of Obsidian, 10
Status: Dead
Location: Unknown keep in a town adjacent to "Sensedied"
Goal: Deceased

I traveled north to the local fortress, but sadly found no soldiers to aid me on my journey, asking around I was told that a castle lied to the south from the fortress and that I may find a group to join me over there.

So I traveled there, and hearing odd grunts from the basement I went downstairs to find a goblin with a spear.

I loaded it up with Ironhand so the colors are a bit wonky even with graphics turned off. If that's a problem just use Melkors again (Wont make much of a difference I didn't get far at all) and I'll give it another shot when everyone else is done and re install it with another texture pack or just try and use ASCII.

Hey Crossroads!
I like the idea, if you still got a spot somewhere I'd like to join in.
I started a only week ago with dwarf fortress, but the fortress mode suits me fine, haven't lost a fortress yet. Got pretty bored with my first training one, because I chose an easy starting position, second died of low fps after digging down 250 z-levels in a glacier and the third now thrives in a terrifying desert. Got the magma forges running and are planning of breaking into hell as soon as the military is up to the task.
If you'll find a spot for me please tell me in advance so I can train the adventure mode (on a different map of course).

Im gonna be a marksdwarf, cause I am scared shitless right now by the things that are hunting dwarves.


-Edit-

I checked out the three maps you included with the file.



I AM SCREWED. And if you want music on, you may have to change the init files once I am done, cause I turned sound off. I'll try to remember to turn them back on.

DAY 1


After days of wandering, I came across a hamlet. There I stole a crossbow and bronze bolts and quickly fled north. After only a few hours, a pack of wolves charged me. Im sheer terror, I swung my crossbow screaming, then I ran. They caught up and attempted to attack me. I turned around, and screamed like a madman, charging with a dagger.

Cog Tarondomm has entered a marital trance.

I slew many of the beasts, then they surrounded me. As I calmed, they bit and scratched me, holding me down. I lost grip of my dagger and I flailed with my crossbow, killing two with bashes to the head. I broke the grip of there biting and fled. They came after, or should I say the only one left came after. I fired my crossbow and tore it's liver. It left whimpering. But I wasnt gonna let it go, I charged after with my crossbow in a bloodlust. I mauled it, then threw it. It escaped sadly, I threw it to mightily. I butchered two of it's siblings and left the area, taking there skulls.



I went further down the hill, and several emus were down there. Knowing there strengh, I kept my distance and readied my crossbow for the worst as I quietly sneaked away. A while later, I found a lone emu. Knowing my own strength, I readied my crossbow and I snuck. I prayed it wouldnt see me.

I fired three bolts, they all went right over it's head and it never noticed. I decided to meele it and it fled. Damnit.

I later came across another herd of emus, determined not to be defeared by them I went behind a tree and let off four bolts. Three missing, one clipping a leg. They fled, but the wounded emu was to slow. I bash it's neck in and then its head. I smiled as the herd fled. Again, wolves came to attack. I smiled as they came, I brandished my crossbow as a hammer and charged. I took one down, then began smashing every bodypart I could find with my crossbow. The rest of the pack fled.


I returned to the hamlet, and out of curiousity I asked where the capital was. A clothier said this WAS the capital. I laughed my head off, as there leader wasnt even a king, or lawgiver. He was a PUMP OPERATOR. BAHAHAHAH.

I asked a suterer for a quest, and a dingo was apparently bugging them. Smiling, I said i will set off after getting a nights rest, they let me sleep in there house that night.

Two more dead Urist McAdventurer noh Bobnovas. One to a kobold encampment (strangled one to death first though!), one really annoyingly to bogeymen. Killed one of them, too.
That second guy had already killed a dozen Dingos and one named Dingo in a cave, I thought he had a chance.
That'll teach me to quicktravel at night.

A whispered warning from beyond the grave....

-DAY 2-

I woke up and walked out of the cottage. One farmer was awake, and he gave me a fare-well and good luck. I returned the gesture, giving him luck on his crops. I set off south, to the acursed dingo-den.



Finding a river blocked my path, I groaned as I had to go around. The hamlets nether bothered to make bridges. By the time I made my way I was to far away to get back to civiilization to escape the impending night-creatures. I groaned as I started making fires around me.

At least two giant dingoes have names as a result of me, one killing my companion, and another killing me.

-DAY 3-



I awoke from my slumber, stomping the fires out I headed west, intriqed by the whiteness of my map.


I took three steps in, and I got ambushed by wolves.



Once more, I entered a state of mind I shall now refer to as a "marital trance" as I charged, screaming about kobolds. In seconds, I brain one wolf, shatter every limb of another, send a leg flying. The wolves would not relent, but against a dwarf in a marital trance they had no chance. Still screaming, I drew my dagger.

Blood flew, wolves screamed, and limbs were missing. Laughing like a maniac, I slaughtered the wolves as they whimpered. One wolf landed a bite on me, so I bit him and began ripping him limb from limb with me teeth. Once it was dead I brained another wolf and began kicking. I left the marital trance, but I killed to many to be defeated now. Refusing death itself, I withstood there unrelenting bites and scratches and fought on. I continued bashing with my crossbow and stabbing with my dagger. Stab there, bash there. I was fueled by a unholy conviction to defeat these wolves. Dying and dead wolves littered the snow. Satisfied, I finished off the unconscious and went on.




-This was a major ambush, I counted 13 before they pounced. A few escaped though...-


-DAY 3-


Other half coming next post.
