The divine weapons are better than adamatine. Much better for edged and piercing weapons. Not that much better for blunt, pretty much on par with wood. The shields are also as dense as wood only 10 time heavier, but there may be some other properties I'm not aware of. I think the larger ones I got had a better chance of autoblocking attacks, but I don't have one to examine in gm-editor now.

[Max™]

No, they aren't better for edged, candy is sharper max edge.

Meanwhile I'm pimp-slapping megabeasts with a copper mace, with my starting spear and dagger being my only sources of scrap until I can kill a bronze colossus. :V

[Garn]

welp, I finally went down, or at least I migtha s well have

i eventually became a necromancer, making me both a necromancer and a vampire at the same time, I later invaded a dark fortress and killed its clown; I tried killing it with an iron 2h sword alot but the worst i did was fracture its skull with legendary++++++++++++ or so skill; eventually I just decided to whip out a steel pike; killed it just like that with a headshot, but unfortunately I couldn't raise it from the dead as a zombie

much later after that I decided to swim across an ocean, looking for stuff to do; I killed a bunch of stuff and ended up getting 5-6 giant dingos, a giant wren, and a roc as zombie companions

I came across a hill titan with em and they just demolished it; it was a giant feathered tarantula with a poisonous bite

but then I met my match; you probably couldn't beat what I found either

a hill titan composed of amber that shoots webs; my minions wouldn't even attack it since its not organic

it webbed me up and it broke my right shoulder; so I just killed DF in task manager since i didnt feel like waiting for it to kill me as i stood there helpless in its webs, then i deleted the save

maybe I'll wanna play DF adventure mode again some other time, but regardless, I've learned that no matter how strong you are, you don't stand a chance against a titan/FB/demon with webs unless you've got a sufficient amount of backup(that will attack it)

[Random_Dragon]

Nice one. So, I found another, this time fully-grown cyclops, deeper into the cavern.

What are the odds that I might recruit the only possible allies by finding some cave natives?

[Max™]

I had a little gorlak poet I brought with me.

I gave him a better dagger and shield to use.

The little dude strapped them to his head and I fell in love with the mental image.

My continued journey through the Secret Clown Clubhouse

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well, I guessed that the Behemoth would be tough, and I guess I got my "wish". A humongous blind scaly spider with devil horns. Hilariously enough, it was in one of the first hallways in the area rather than deeper in! I saved and tried to see how horrible attempting to fight it would go, and said attempts went about as expected. It could get out three attacks in the time it took me to do a single action, and a single attack making past my shield would result in an exploded limb (which of course led to unconsciousness and a swift death by boot-to-the-head), Superelephant Man Toughness and Willpower be damned, or a kick to the body that would mangle my heart and/or lungs. Thankfully the darkness of the Vault makes it relatively easy to run out of its aggro range, but this thing's body design probably means I'm not gonna be killing this thing anytime soon (possibly ever). Having both Chitin and Scales on something so large basically makes Piercing the only option, and being Arachnid in nature makes for a lot of redundant targets when it comes to Throwing (and ntm the aforementioned darkness does prevent me from raining death from long distance). Anyway, I'm gonna give it some more attempts later on my way back up, but for now I'll let little ol' Satan Spider sit in his hallway. Armok help me if it turns out there was a lever behind it...

I've kept a rough count on the Soldiers and Assistants I've killed, so I can hazard I guess that I'm about halfway through this place. Came across some Giant Cave Spider webs, but thankfully there are not any of those hell spawn in this place.

On a side-note, I forgot to mention yesterday that the Soldiers had trunks, which reminded me of some funny things I noticed in Legends. Apparently my Elephant man isn't the first Loxodantan badass to go after Megabeasts. According to Legends, at least 4 of the world's Megabeasts, and even a Demon, have all been killed by Elephants. I know Legends and world building doesn't often take into account a lot of details when it comes to a person/creatures strengths, but it's no less hilarious. Considering my divine parentage (and that I'm apparently the only Elephant Man to ever exist at any point in this world) I'm wondering if it's fate that I've decided to take out all the world's Megabeasts.

You've got to either become a husk and be super strong or get a dragon to melt one. Or do what I did and give hydras steel teeth.

Heh. There is another option though, if you'll recall my one adventurer where I overdid the whole "kill megabeasts and write tales of bloodshed on megabeast parchment" thing. X3

Though it still revolves around getting a reliable source of strength boosting, plus bashing with a copper spear.

On the one hand, I'm using a copper mace this time so it might be easier. On the OTHER hand I'm an elf this time, not a human. I'm not yet sure which factor will prove more important until after I can hunt down a giant.

Bim decided to take the day off and work on wood crafting and bowyer skills. Before leaving the tavern to venture into the wilds for leaves, he took all the cabbage seeds he had collected and decided burn them in a refuse fire. When he returned there was quite a bit of smoke:

Bim was lucky this didn't become a wildfire. He took over an abandoned shop and crafted a few bows:

He improved from dabbling to novice in both wood crafting and bowyer which was a good thing done for the day:

That all done, it was time to resume traveling. Bim looked up into the sky to gauge the weather:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It was an everyday sort of day, but at the same time, it was reminiscent of the beginning of every journey where everything is unknown. The beginning of anything. You could be some Trojan or Greek looking out into the bay during winter, wondering if ships were coming. You're a Celt in the middle of a village and it's snowing and your hands are tight and cold. Snowfall has silence blanketing everything and all sound is muffled.

So it was off to the next town. Bim left the town of Bucklocks for Denskin which is the + in center of the last link, and then from there to a dwarven fortress called Hammeryelled to see if he might be able to switch out his elven copper brigandine armor and pick up some dwarven iron.

The true destination of travel is the town of Divedeast which has a library. There, Bim will read and advance student skill to novice and perhaps write a thing or two.

I found a god. Emung, the human god of death, poetry, and writing. So I just found the god of emos.

The Dancer really needed more time hunting to bring her up to speed. I decided to hand her the divine spear since no one else was using it (I still have a pike if I need it,) and she was never playing the instruments in her hands anyway. The old lady needed no help or protection at all; she was in better shape than I was when I became a werebeast, and though lacking in close combat/defense skills her attributes more than made up the difference, and she developed quickly.

I wish these guys would get involved in unicorn hunting with me. I'm making great gains with the knife, but they need combat practice too, and I'm the slowest one in the party so it's always a tedious chase to catch up to one of them. At least the Dwarf springs into action as soon as I hit one with a disc. The rest don't do anything unless a unicorn becomes enraged and attacks back. Too way too long to get everyone a full set of masterwork unicorn leathers. They'd better get used to wearing white leathers, because that's all we're going to find in the icecap.

Is this a "Deity" ruling a human civ?

[TheFlame52]

Is this a "Deity" ruling a human civ?

No, he's just a god, that sort of thing hasn't happened since 0.34.


I'm doing "research" for writing class, since I'm going to write short stories that take place in a particularly interesting world I've genned. Same world with the god. It's called the Universes of Omen, but I'm shortening it to the Land of Omen. Notable finds include that god, a god of volcanoes that might actually be a volcano, all four human nations being ruled by vampires, a demon law-giver killed by a camel, and the number four being holy.

I've discovered that you can tell what nation someone is from by their appearance, which is amazing. I've also found that being, for example, a human from elven lands takes your appearance from any of the nearby human nations. Not only do we have species, we also have races!
