I attacked a vampire in front of his 2 roommates and they tried to fight me after he got away. I gave one of them a temporarily incapacitating injury so he passed out from pain, and asked the other for a cease of hostilities. I'm pretty sure he paused dramatically to look me in the eye before slashing my foot open and then agreeing "Sure man, no more fighting."

One badass diagnoser.

You kill him?

decided to dive into legends mode yesterday: found a necromancer who got bis neck smashed by a troll. a couple of years later he became obsessed with his mortality, became necromancer and wrotte a book: "a world without troll"
I guess there's some kind of revenge/agenda coded in because legends are full of stuff like that..

Haven't tried stuffing things into a cage or animal trap yet and selling those, it's kinda offputting that the only way to acquire these things is by making them in fortress mode and abandoning.
You can find them in fortresses (I think) and mead halls.

I noticed that villagers will tell other people what they are about to do. "I'm going out for some water."
Not very significant, but it's still interesting. I could write an entire book about the Adventure mode dialogue system.

Pulling out stuff still stuck in you leads to increased bleeding, just like in real life.
Also, adventure companions can jump. It's a bit weird considering that they won't swim after you.

I've always been meaning to try training my companion to swim.  Enticing them into the water to fight snapping turtles is pretty easy, and assuming they don't die right away, presumably they will eventually get to Novice level (which seems to be the level at which you are unlikely to drown).  At that point, will they follow you, I wonder....

When you try to sell a prisoned human to a caravan then only the cage comes to the trade depot and is sellable. The human sits in an other cage.
So you can't sell a prisoner:(

Companions who know how to swim or climb well enough to save their lives don't know what do to with themselves afterward. If there isn't something to kill, they'll just hang out in the water or on the end of a limb. And if they arbitrarily decide that the tile you're channeling is the one they have to be on, the ground vanishing beneath them won't change their minds, they'll dangle from twigs just to hang out right there.


EDIT: This I just learned from running show-unit-syndromes script on a companion:

Vampires can get drunk, but are immune to the worst effects. 'physical stats can't improve' I should've known from the raws, but hadn't noticed the flag. And the 50% damage resistance is news to me.

The physical stats thing is bugged and doesn't apply, you can totally raise your stats after being vamped. Go topple a statue til you get vamped then wrestle wildlife and watch your stats.

Cats will lick and/or head-butt you. That's a nice detail.

There should be, but aside from the subject matter book titles are randomly picked from a list (you can modify this list in the raws).  It could have just as easily been "Can Troll Save the World?"

Flies swarm over butchered corpses.

And some titans can throw balls of fire. And breathe fire. I found that out a few ticks ago. From experience. Run.

I believe anything made of fire gets a "hidden" fireball attack, just like any spider-based titan has a "hidden" web ability.
