"Shatterlurk was a buzzard."
« on: February 22, 2017, 01:23:50 am »

I'm starting to think I have the most amazing luck in Dwarf Fortress. This buzzard? Yeah, it just saved my adventurer. A night creature was attacking me and nearly killed me, but then something attacked it long enough to distract it and let me run. I didn't take the time to see what it was until I retired and checked legends... and somehow, it won.

You bumbled your way into what some people consider winning the game.

My guess is he drew a mushroom on a throne and shoved it in their faces again and again, and kept slapping anyone who looked like they disagree.

Ah, dwarf fortress. It is amazing the kind of shenanigans that you can get up to when players and anything, really get involved. This reminds me of the famous demon killing duck, Darkwing the Neteher fowl, and of another duck that killed 5 adventurers, without dying.

Still, awesome story sir, may DF countinue to provide you with days of epic tales and interesting stories.

Things like this are awesome, the random asskicking things coming out. Like the child that kicked my ass after I singlehandedly beat every soldier and guard in a keep, despite usually fighting multiple. This kid pulled out his knife, stabbed me in the heart, slit my throat, then cut my head off, without missing once or being blocked.

Dwarf Fortress is awesome.  The things that can happen are close to innumerable (quantam computers might be able to count the possibilities, I don't know).  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=cef0f537b40d349ac1ff223d392abec1&topic=56935.0

Ravens are bad news, I've heard. Especially undead ones.

A human with no combat skills cut off my leg and then killed me. With my own sword. I was legendary.

When the turkey lord took power, he rallied the other poultry for a war. A war every creature that thought them to be food. Soon they will eradicate the night trolls, then create a fortress. They shall raid the forces of heaven itself, and dig deep into hell itself.

Then... they shall rule.

One of the most awesome things I have seen was when my untrained expedition leader was mortally wounded and stranded in a hallway. I tried to get my dwarves to help him, but a troll got to him first. Some how my expedition leader, without any functioning legs, killed this troll with his bare hands. He later went beserk and killed everyone in my fortress.

Isn't it possible for animals that kill a sapient to get lairs? Find the buzzard's, build a fortress on top of it, and worship it as a god!
