I tried to make a kobold aventurere.

I failed once more (screw you wilderness!), and so i'm going to try and make the world as evil-aligned and frozen as possible.

Just finished my second Dwarven adventurer of my Dorf only world.

After initially almost being killed by two rabbits (started out as a peasant) I forged a succesful career as a swordsman. Killed many, many, many grooms/cohorts/wives of night creatures, about a bazillion bogeymen and a ten-twenty or so bandits. Had three trolls attack me in the wilds, but they fell quickly to my steel short sword. Became well known enough to tackle some megabeasties, and was tasked with killing two dragons, the first of which I KO'd then stabbed in the eyes before killing it. Second one pretty chopped and cooked my mechanic friend, whom I only brought along to avoid having to face bogeymen. I dispatched him quickly, then returned to be tasked with killing a Marsh Titan. A feathered snail, beware its web! Okay... Bonked that on the head to kill it.

My final task was to kill a Roc, I romped in, stole its egg and it retaliated by biting off my sword (left) hand. I dodged many of its attacks, leaving some lovely trails of blood behind, threw my steel shield at it, which didn't do anything, then picked up my sword from my severed hand. stabbed it in the body, apparently piercing the liver, and then it flew off. I was annoyed with it so stayed next to its nest for a little while, before setting off in search of it. Found it once more, and this time it bit off my right hand! The bastard. I ran about pondering over what to do, discovering some silver bolts in its hoard, throwing one (with what, I don't know) and piercing its gut, and it ran off again.

Wanting to end my career on a good note, while considering continuing it as a bolt thrower, I rested at its nest and was attacked by bogeymen  :-\ "oh noes!" I thought, given that I didn't have much in the way of attacks. It didn't matter, I disaptched them quickly kicking their heads in, much to my delight. I rested until morning, and continued my search for the elusive Roc. It returned, while I was throwing silver bolts at it while it closed. I was dodging like crazy, throwing and kicking it in the hopes of doing some damage. It bit off my left lower arm, right lower arm and tore off my left leg entirely. I decided, given my inability to stand and to hold a crutch that I might be better served conceding my defeat, so I crawled off and retired in a nearby town.

My career ended with 91 notable kills and one hundred and twenty-six other kills, including a well-rounded 80 bogeymen. Not my best adventurer, but certainly the only one left alive.

I'm currently playing as a gobbo who uses an iron knife and sneaks into human towns.  While the humans are sleeping, my gobbo stabs each of them in the head, killing them quickly.

With my latest adventurer, I decided as an experiment to try and steal some pants off of people while they were sleeping.

While I was successfully able to grab the pants, I wasn't able to remove them, and gave up out of boredom/apathy. I wandered out of my starting village and set off about the countryside, killing bandits, wrestling rabbits, and biting deer.

I eventually came to a completely abandoned human fortress. Not really much to say other than that it was empty, but as far as I can tell from legends mode, the civ that owned it never lost it in battle, there just isn't anyone there. Maybe they all starved?

After that I set off for the only town on the map that looked big enough to have shops for me to sell all my deer bits and bandit loot at. Attempting to talk to anyone in the shops simply had them refuse to speak to me. Figuring that trying to wrestle some peasent's pants off in the night must have made me an enemy of the civ, I decided to depart, not wanting to fight 15 shop-people at the same time. As I left the shop and set off down the road, they began to chase me. Not wanting to be the aggressor, but wanting to slaughter them all anyway as it was no longer the confines of a shop, but them spread out along the road, I let them catch me.

My assumptions proved correct, and they indeed attacked me, and with them strung out along the road, I was able to slaughter them quite well.

Upon their defeat, I proceeded to loot the store, and got something like 1000 coins. Twas rediculous and awesome. Since I had taken something like an hour to slowly torture to death each member of the shop-keeper's store-army of peasents, I decided that my murder-looting spree could resume in the morning and went to bed.

This morning when I woke up, Windows refused to load the OS, and it looks like I am going to have to format my HD.

I can't, on account of the fact that the OS won't load, so I can't access said files.

The kicker? this computer is literally a day old. Got it last night.

Wow... My fort was getting slaughtered by the syndrome-spewing giant-teal-finch that killed off the goblin siege, right?
Well, I was getting really frustrated as all my attempts to kill it failed... Not because it was all that deadly, really, but because it's dust simply reached as far as crossbow bolts, and completely paralysed almost INSTANTLY. >:(
So, as it stormed into the last refuge of safety in my poor, long-surviving fort, I opened up DFMode and switched to adventure mode. :)

I un-retired my epic, legendary adventurer Kornain Fatherravens the Escorted Sewers, who I played before I started this fort, who had been in retirement for over ten years, gathered up his badass, scarred followers and, after asking a peasant which way to my fort, (He mentioned one of the less-deadly forgotten beasts who lived in the caverns) set off for Slaughterrocks.

So we arrived, and it was awesome seeing my fort from an adventurer's perspective, and after a while spent chatting with the survivors I confronted the beast as it gnawed on some child who was seemingly attempting to scratch its feet off.
Now that was freakin' TERRIFYING. I even drew it... A giant, teal-coloured finch with patchy feathers, spurting out a dust that kills almost instantly... D:

But old Kornain, about 50 years old, had seen some scary crap in his time, and ran fowards, timing his charge so he reached the monster between gusts of gas.
Even for him, who could easily decapitate skilled warriors when offbalanced with merely a flick of his sword-wrist, it took some killing. After hacking into it a couple of times, he had to retreat, barely avoiding the next wave of dust it sprayed out as it chewed the poor kid.
Then, one last stroke, and its head flew off. Awesome! :D
Then, I retired him (And his small army) there, and reclaimed my fort, using Runesmith to make the old-timers citizens again. Sadly, all that screwing around had messed things up, and a winged demon popped out of the sky and bit Kornain's head off. :( Oh well, he lives on in our memories.

In other news, I made a goblin adventurer, planning to make my way to Slaughterrocks, and discovered a yak beating on a butcher in a goblin hamlet. The really weird thing is, the yak's wearing a FULL SET OF ROPE READ FIBER CLOTHES. Freakin' goblins. :P

You know people they go to bed, they think everythings calm, everythings safe, the wake up the next morning and they're on fire.

I have never seen this happen before, replace fire with killed by boogey men in a fortress. I woke up because we were getting attacked or whatever, and boogey men raided the fortress and fucked all the guards up and then swarmed me.

I went to a bandit camp and killed everyone there by weakening them using rocks.
Then I looted thread so I could make water buffalo leather high boots.

I'll make the -elf leather thong- and go around the towns wearing nothing but that eventually.

My first thought was that I was ambushed by kobolds or goblins, yeah.

Except nothing happened. I mean, sure, I searched a while and found a kobold. A kobold apparently made of stone or something; was still as a statue until I beat the crap out of it with the corpse of some civ leader I'd been using to level my misc items skill.

Oh, and for the record, said civ leader had basically every part yellow when I found her. She'd had the crap kicked out of her by about 15 different night creatures.

I'm having a little problem generating frozen volcano doom world.
It's not like it's too cold to run, it has maximum volcanicity ...

I was even going to be a human this time.
