My first adventurer died being hounded by four boogeymen. I make my second one, he dies of starvation in the middle of the woods... A couple more adventurers later and months of dwarf fortress experience I take the Masterwork mod and make this super-awesome adventurer whose first killed is a counter attack against some mega-spider beast, sword right in the throat; he never died and got a kill list of over 40 noticeable entities, mostly cyclopses, titans, and other kinds of beasts, he even once massacred an entire hamlet whose ruler was a cyclops, ungrateful slaves! I still have his save for later use, year history two, he has lost more imperial soldiers crossing rivers than being murdered.
All this time I never knew about the throw rock and wrestling exploits, so I make my first legendary archer, thrower, fighter, and wrestler swordsman in the vanilla edition of DF. He starts off cool and nice in this dungeon on top of a castle in the year five, a demi-god to further distinguish him. What I find is a whole bloody nest of goblins! So I sneak through the dungeon and stumble upon an overlord, he smashes me to pieces with his minions before finally shooting me in my skull and I barely got a scratch on him. This is barely a heroic death for my human, so I reload the game. Keep in mind, he is in a room about 10-13 goblins full, and below the dungeon standard level, to the left of the staircase. I descend with my adventurer, hack off and arm from the overlord, incapacitate a few goblins, and kill one before they shred me to pieces. Oh boy, did they have a feast, in the last turn before I die, I am unable to stand, have only one arm (with extensive nerve damage), my nose is gone, a speed of 100, and just recovered from passing out; my armour is covered in vomit. Rinse and I repeat it again, this time throwing things against the overlord while sneaking, he passes out, and I arrive to stab his throat, 4 goblins push me around and the above scenario is repeated, this time I am backed into a corner and do not kill anyone. Rinse, and repeat sometimes I kill someone else, but most of the time I am mauled by either some pikegoblin, macegoblin, or swordgoblin, once I was killed by an arrow, and on another ocassion a lasher wooped me into a bloody mess of bones and skin.
Now I am furious, I will kill this overlord and his army of goblins. This is my time. I grab the usual equipment, some vomit, blood, an iron shield, a steel axe, a leg, and a head. I stand next to the stairs, crouching while the goblins below me do whatever goblins do, I throw the axe. *BAM* It cuts off his arm and is sails off flying in the air, then I throw a goblin leg at him, it lands on his head, instantly killing him. No goblin is smart enough to figure out "Hey, where did N, whatever his name was, leg come from" or "Overlord is dead, what happened?". So I go to the other side of the stairs, I'm spotted, so I wait for the neighboring crossbow goblin to come up while I hurl chunks of vomit his way, he comes up and I kill him. Then I descend and ascend, a mace wielding goblin comes up, I dispatch him as well. Then I come down and hurl whatever I can find (a morningstar, cloth tunic, the leg again, ect.) to goblins while sneaking, I clean up the whole room without getting surrounded by them pesky little fellows.
So yeah, I killed a goblin overlord with the leg of a goblin (forgot the name and can't post it right now because I am swimming a three tile wide ocean, will post later).
