Giant holding 11 different artifacts
« on: December 01, 2020, 05:17:15 pm »

So, I'm playing in a world where, in essence, almost entirety of life has been extinguished. The only exceptions are a civilization of necromancers, a town of ~60 humans, and my fortress. It's existed for 5 years so far.

A giant just arrived, and I noticed that it holds 11 different artifacts. His name is Goldfillers the Sweet. He's got long auburn hair, a crooked nose, pale taupe skin, and low eyebrows and forehead.

He has...
- A mica slab called Ashencut that holds the secrets of life and death.
- A copper bow called The Knowing Ward covered in oval aventurine cabuchons and images of walnut trees
- A Dwarf Bone Buckler called Profaneflooded encrusted with graphite cabochons that has an image of a dwarf being elected to mayor in pink garnet
- A bronze short sword called Glowingrhyme with images of dwarves in hazel wood that has accumulated 13 kills
- A bronze war hammer called The Mastery of Escorts that has bands of sheep bone and spikes of Ilmenite
- A human bone ring called Gallowsturmoils
- A steel short sword called Carmineobeyed that's almost a thousand years old
- A bronze mace called Poemcovered encrusted with pear cut red zircons
- A bismuth bronze battle axe called The Perplexing Portal that's covered in like 5 different kinds of gems
- A steel war hammer called Acheworker that has killed 14
- And a mica scepter called Taxscorched the Mahogany bird.

And that's it.
Just the artifacts.

And guess what he's using as a weapon?? Guess???

That's amusing given the necromancers infesting the world.

If you can trap this Giant, you'll have the most blinged-out zoo in the world.

I managed to trap it in my (thankfully disconnected-from-my-base) depot by putting a turkey in it as bait and disconnecting it from the rest of my fortress via a wall, and then sealing it in via a bridge. So yea; it's mine now, muahahaha

Big baller slab hauler

That slab might be a wise choice for something with giant strength. Dunno about it's stats but it's doubless big and heavy and blunt
