All set. Tantrum Spiral is gonna ruin some days.

If there is one thing Tantrum Spiral hates, it is barrels. But, of course, there is no one thing that Tantrum Spiral hates. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been this angry since all his friends died and he couldn't get a hematite armor stand for his room. The latter irritates him so much that this tigerman is super hosed.

Man, I guess that's what I get for not having a big fighter.

Aren't stats normalized now though, so you wouldn't get higher stats from a higher skill?

(And needless to say, Tantrum Spiral is pissed with this result)

How much weapon skill did you have, anyway? You parried nearly every shot.

The build was Hammerskill 6, Fighting 3 along with the plat hammer and iron mail.

Sending Dwarf. Lets try this again.

I was concerned about fighting a Troll, then I realized that his adamantine battle axe is wicked expensive, and trolls do not get a lot of points. And he bought armor. And a shield.

(Did Tantrum Spiral mention that one of his best friends was killed by a troll recently? This fortress is just wearing on him, I swear)

[Edit:] That said, I'm sure I'll get one-shotted off the bat due to dice, probable 8 rank difference in weapon skill or no.

Yesss. Tantrum Spiral v1 in the main tourney had to lose 3 limbs before he went down. One leg? Nothing to worry about. That dwarf ++ toughness is pretty solid.

EDIT: Alright, now that the anger of losing has faded, I'm now laughing my rear end off. I was honestly hoping the armor and 14 points in Armor Skill would help resist attacks.

I want to say that ranks in Armor only helps prevent your armor from encumbering you. It doesn't make the armor you wear any more efficient. If your armor is light enough, you don't need any ranks.

...And adamantium is pretty light

Dwarf Fortress, I don't even know anymore sometimes.

Oh man. Tantrum Spiral also hates aim-bots. He was good friends with everyone in the fortress. This is not going to go over well there.

Edit: Oh no, they're just throwing things everywhere!

Thanks for running that, Vlad. If anyone wants to try their hand against Tantrum Spiral, here are his stats. Wondering what might of been if he had not suffered a BAM! HEADSHOT? Wonder no more.

Weapon skill(Hammer) 12 : 2340
Fighting 5: 225
Armor 1: 5
Striking 1: 10
Dodging 1: 20
Silver Warhammer: 300
Steel Mail Shirt: 450
Steel Helmet: 250


(Also that is one badass Yeti.)

My dude is in. With my luck at these things I will actually win this time in some sort of reverse slade-mace Yeti-Brawl tomfoolerly where we find out that an edged silver weapon is actually the most deadly kind of all.

Ha, it just seemed unsporting (and kind of a hassle with the calculator) to spread those skills out more. That's what I get, I guess, for not putting in the A+ effort. I get a victory.
