Serves you right for being an elf. An acrobatics skill would be interesting though..

My adventurer spawned in a keep (locally important human), but unfortunately for whatever reason the main hate of the keep was inaccessible from within. I came up with the brilliant idea of climbing to the top of the walls and jumping off... yeah.

In my defense, elves have a naturally higher movement speed, if I recall correctly, and speed is important to a ninja.

Throwing just isn't as fun as it used to be :(

I tried to explore my first tomb. I thought, "Oh, I've never seen one of these before! I wonder what's inside?"

Immediate backfire. My lungs got damaged by a swing axe trap, then I suffocated on the dirty stone floor of some tomb while my companions watched in horror.

I loot tombs with utmost caution. I've never been killed or even injured by a trap, but the occupants of said tombs kill me without fail.

Larger items seem to work well, heads of your enemies, body parts, that sort of thing. Also Bolts and Arrows can be thrown, that's also an option. Is there anyway to increase speed (other than dropping items), what is your speed based on now? It seems whether I sneak or not, speed remains the same.

I got killed by a camel, hoove straight to the head.

I attempted to level up my swimming skill. It was going well until I floundered in the water, and I thought it was gonna be okay.

Little did I know that I was swimming near a huge waterfall, and I fell to my splooshy death.

Started a new adventurer, then went to explore the caves, and found some crundles. I decided to take the opportunity to powerlevel on them,  so I grabbed four or five crundles, so they attacked me like crazy. Apparently, I was too greedy when I tought I could handle that many opponents at once. I became exhausted and finally passed out due to overexertion.

It seems if you're unconscious, you still have grip on the enemy. So the crundles couldn't break away, and continued their restless attack against me, continuously bruising, tearing, scratching and biting me. These attacks still increased my tiredness, so I had no chance to regain my consciousness. It took few minutes, but they eventually made me bleed out.

So don't get too greedy. Crundles will get you.

A game day of sneaking everywhere (no fast travel) should improve your agility.

Stabbed a troll through both legs and the upper body. Approached him as he lied on the ground, stabbed him through the chest again and boom. He punched my character to the head, which exploded in gore. My character fell unconscious and was then beaten to death.
