Histories of Gore and Goblinsteaks
« on: February 08, 2008, 07:08:00 am »

I made demons playable and assaulted a goblin capital.

I killed everything that came my way for over an hour, and they never stopped coming.  Allot of them got tossed into the pool in their temple where they drowned.  I killed their high priest(though it just says he drowned), then their demon god (who was just a peasant), and their Elite Crossbowman.

The Elite Crossbowman was the only really dangerous one, but the battle was short and sweet.  He shot me with a high quality bolt that glanced off my lower body, and I didn't even notice, as I was concentrating on killing a guard.  Then he fired at me again.

The flying +®*Iron bolt*¯+ strikes You in the right lower arm!
It is badly pierced!
The +®*Iron bolt*¯+ has lodged firmly in the wound!

I ran towards him and then ducked behind a corner, waiting for the bleeding to stop.  Meanwhile, a stupid guard came up and started harassing me.  I decapitated him with my Iron Halberd and then pulled the arrow out and hid.  Unfortunately...

You've been spotted!
The flying +®*Iron bolt*¯+ strikes You in the left lower leg!
It is badly pierced!
Your left knee has been badly sprained!
The +®*Iron bolt*¯+ has lodged firmly in the wound!

Thankfully he was right next to me at this point so...

You charge at The goblin Elite Crossbowman!
You hack at The goblin Elite Crossbowman in the upper body with your Iron halberd!
It is broken!
The goblin Elite Crossbowman is propelled away by the force of the blow!

And then I threw back his bolt.

The flying +®*Iron bolt*¯+ strikes The goblin Elite Crossbowman in the upper body!
It is pierced through completely!
Aspuz Osnunolnge, goblin Elite Crossbowman has been shot and killed.

Yay!  So after that I continued the attack with reckless abandon, ignoring nearby guards with crossbows in favor of closer targets, and then...

The flying Iron bolt strikes You in the upper body!
It is pierced!
You are having trouble breathing!
Your right lung has been pierced!
Your left lung has been pierced!
Your heart has been pierced!
Your liver has been pierced!
Your upper spine has been badly pierced!

I managed to decapitate the goblin I had been after and then charged the guard.  All the time having the mortal wound sign flashing at me.

The flying Iron bolt strikes You in the right foot!
The shot glances away.
You charge at The Guard!
You attack The Guard but He jumps away!
The Guard counterstrikes!
The Guard misses You!
You rush by The Guard!
The flying Iron bolt strikes You in the right lower leg!
The shot glances away.
You charge at The Guard!
You attack The Guard but He jumps away!
You charge at The Guard!
The Guard looks surprised by the ferocity of Your onslaught!
You strike at The Guard but the shot is parried!
You collide with The Guard!
The Guard is knocked over and tumbles backward!
You hack at The Guard in the left upper arm with your Iron halberd!
The Guard loses hold of the small cave spider silk left glove.
The left upper arm flies off in a bloody arc!
The Guard gives in to pain.
You hack at The Guard in the right lower leg with your Iron halberd!
The Guard loses hold of the small elk leather high boot.
The Guard loses hold of the small giant cave spider silk sock.
The right lower leg flies off in a bloody arc!
You give in to pain.
You fall over.
You have bled to death.

However, I decided to wait a bit to see what would happen.  Aside from being amazed at the number of goblins that suddenly came out of the dark once I'd died, there was one consolation.

Snang Dostngospolos, Guard has bled to death.      :D


So ends the tale of Mepa Prisonglimmered the Black Monsters of Jail.

EDIT:  Oh hey!  I think I know why Snang was so pissed off at me!  I killed his wife!

Very nice! Your demon did *MUCH* better then my demon. Mine killed all of two guards before a lucky marksman guard shot him through the eye with a bolt.

But demons are tough, huh? That didn't even faze him. It took a later shot- through the upper body- that pierced basically every organ. Even then, an inch from death he was still crawling and living in states ranging from partially councious to out cold. A drunk goblin punched him in the head and that was it.

That was really impressive though. I suggest you try a spirit of fire sometime; they're EXTREMELY fun, because you can light people on fire by grabbing them, and melt their weapons by holding them. But they're frail, and their limbs snap off like plastic.

Out of curiosity, how did you make demons playable? I changed the PLAINS entity creature to DEMON and didn't have to regenerate my world, but it's a temporary thing. Do you know a better way? @_@

Edit: Oh. Wait. You used a weapon, that must of helped. Did you switch to unarmed at all? The demons bites are vicious, but probably not on par with a legendary weapon user's attacks.

I started using only unarmed attacks.  Since I couldn't figure out how to use fire breath I had to settle with spitting out the chucks of my enemies that accumulated in my mouth after fighting for a projectile weapon.

I tried melting a glacier but I apparently wasn't hot enough, so I wondered over to a goblin fort, killed most of them, then ended up in the one with the temple.  I had started picking up weapons to try after I got bored of just biting off chunks.  The halberd ended up being the most dismembery weapon I found so I kept it.

I added this to the entity default.  I doubt it was better than your version since it ended up making a bunch of demon civilizations.  Though for some reason I could only do play now.
