I have to say, pulping a neck is new for me. Good thing there is nothing critical in the neck area like a spine, arteries, windpipe, or anything that would make a fighter die when their neck ceases to exist.

I thought it would at least be close! I had no idea martial trances were that nasty. Every single strike aimed at Altoid was cleanly dodged that round. Crazy.

I'm sad that Tiger Uppercut will punch no more. The few strikes that did hit were pretty drat impressive though. Wish that bite to the neck had a little more force to it, given that it bruised the bone.

Altoid: murder dwarf. The combat log for a long section just reads: Altoid bashes Vincent Van Gob in various body parts. I thought it would be a more even match - there go all my dorfbucks. Afriscipio fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Sep 18, 2014 |

If there's anyone who still thinks that Jazz shouldn't have reduced the initial point amount, here's something interesting to consider: Imagine a molemarian somehow getting past the group stage, regardless of its own fighting capability. It would have 2*1600=3200 points to spend, allowing it to afford the following:
(If you add the 10% bonus for not spending points in round 1, it can even afford a pair iron greaves, protecting its lower body and upper legs from blunt weapons.) Congratulations, you have a nigh-impenetrably armored monster that cannot feel pain. The only way to stop it is to bash it in the head repeatedly with something heavy, and even then, its skull is thick enough to handle several hits that get past the ridiculously hard helm it has. And there's plenty of legs to distract an attacker, and it will never ever faint, so there will be no easy head smashing here. I doesn't even need eyes to know where you are, for it can smell your fear. (Just for the record, cutting off both of its lower arms wouldn't be enough to make it bleed to death) edit: Hmmm... Actually, its possible, it turns out. You need to cut the hands first, and then the lower arms a bit later. Still, takes a long while for this to actually happen. my dad fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Sep 18, 2014 |

 Test Tournament 2 match whateverToday we will witness gladitorial combat between The Kitten Appreciation Society and Habeas Corpses!  On the left side of the arena is The Kitten Appreciation Society. Fighters are: Noserubbed the Kobold, Charity the female Moleperson, aptly named Lumberelf, and Suns Out Guns Out the troll. Managers are Neurion, Tunicate, Pickled Tink, and Lorrdernie. On the right side of the arena is Habeas Corpses. Fighers are: Bring the Pain the Moleman, The Obituator the Antwoman, Yetti Page... a yeti, and Gavin Henson the Dark Gnome. Managers are VladtTheEater, Ablative, A good poster, and goatface.  The Kitten Appreciation charges in a ragged line while Habeas Corpses maintains fighting ranks.  Three things happen in the opening second of combat. Charity the moleman bites Bring the Pain in the arm, tearing muscle. Noserubbed takes that opening and stabs Bring the Pain in the left arm which fractures bone. Luckily Bring the Pain is a righty and does not drop his weapon. Down a bit from the molemen Lumberelf hacks Yetti Page in the left foot, bringing the giant fighter to the ground.  The other fighters join the fray after the initial exchange of blows. Lumberelf tries to take Yetti Page's head off, but only suceeds in tearing apart the neck fat. The moleman Bring the Pain strikes the other molewoman Charity with a whip which fractures her right rear leg. Below the X in the center is Bring the Pain who is now severely pissed at everyone. Noserubbed comes to Charity's rescue and stabs Bring the Pain in the left arm again, but this only serves to piss off the surrounded Moleman.  Yetti Page and Suns Out Guns Out dodge each others blows, Charity continues biting Bring the Pain, and The Obituator gets a solid blow against the troll Suns Out Guns Out which fractures his left arm. Suns Out Guns Out retaliates with a blow to The Obituator's lower right leg which explodes into a million pieces. It's now The Obituator's turn to become enraged. Skipping a screenshot of everyone standing there with no change from the last screenshot and will describe the fight for a bit if that's alright. If it's not, gently caress you. Noserubbed and Charity continue beating on Bring the Pain. Noserubbed has stabbed the moleman multiple times and cut almost every limb he has. Bring the Pain finally falls over and the Antwoman The Obituator falls down immediately after since her leg was just destroyed. Gavin Henson dives into the fight, but cannot manage a solid blow. He dodges a few attacks which brings him closer to other opponents which then attack in turn. Suns Out Guns Out has the enraged antwoman on the ground and decides to gore her in the arm. The arm explodes into a million pieces. The Obituator now has a normal number of limbs after losing two. There is a lot of biting, dodging by both the large and small fighters, and then The Obituator hacks Charity's left foot clean off!  As you can see, the fighters have dodged all over the arena except for the three that are grounded.  Noserubbed continues to stab Bring the Pain in his limbs, this time breaking the right hand of the moleman. Yetti Page's maul connects with Noserubbed the kobold two or three times in a row, but since the yeti is grounded it does nothing more than bruise the small fighter. Noserubbed gets sick of the poo poo and stabs Yetti Page in the arm, causing the Yeti to faint from pain. At the same time Suns Out Guns Out strikes The Obituator again, crushing the second right hand into a pulp. The Antwoman passes out from pain immediately after. For those of you keeping score at home the tally is: Team Kitten has 4 fighters able to move, while Habeas Corpses has 2 unconscious fighters.  Yetti Page is the first fighter struck down in the fight. Noserubbed yanks his dagger free and looks for a new opponent. If you'll note the screenshot there is a tree-loving hippy elf (Lumberelf) sitting way off to the side not doing poo poo. He dodged down there like 50 lines of combat ago and hasnt moved since. He is uninjured, but maybe he's got the thousand yard stare going on. In an odd Dwarf Fortress quirk, Suns Out Guns Out smashed The Obituary's head in (and sent her flying) just before the Yetti was killed. The antwomans head exploded into gore, she is clearly dead, but the combat log does not say this until the body comes to a rest by smashing into her downed teammate Bring the Pain. Technically the first kill should be awarded to Suns Out Guns Out, but that's not what the combat log says. Now we've got a 4v2 matchup on our hands. Habeas Corpses has only Gavin Henson the tiny dark gnome who is uninjured. Bring the Pain is his teammate, but the large moleman is down with a hundred injuries and unable to stand.  In a stunning display of axemanship, the sissy elf Lumberelf charges back into the fray and strikes Gavin Henson from behind. The axe cleaves through the small fighters neck, seperating his head from his body.  The only fighter left is Bring the Pain for Habeas Corpses. This does not look good.  That was fast. Suns Out Guns Out gets his second kill of the match by hammering the molemans chest into a puddle of goo. The Kitten Appreciation Society wins with a stunning 4-0 victory over Habeas Corpses. Killcount: Suns Out Guns Out with 2, Lumberelf with 1, Noserubbed with 1. Charity kept the other moleman from engaging anyone by grabbing hold with her teeth and not letting go, but was not able to get a kill with teeth alone. Combat Log

I had no opinion on this match before I started reading that update. Reading the lineup, I decided "I'll root for Habeas Corpses!" Even when I don't bet dorfbux, I lose bets. Anyway, this match raises an interesting possibility, seeing as a fighter doesn't show up as dead in the combat log until their body lands. Say there are two fighters (left) in a match, Fighter A and Fighter B. 1. Fighter A punches Fighter B's head clean off, sending the body flying across the arena. 2. Fighter A bleeds out and dies. 3. Fighter B's body lands. Fighter A survived longer, but fighter B wins if we follow the combat log.

I vote for best 2 out of 3 in that case. 3 new fights run with the teams, best 2 out of 3 wins it. That may just because I want more fights to run/write/read though and 2 per day is not enough to feed my habit. Who knew I'd get addicted to fake dwarf fighting.

Test Tournament 2, Week 1, Match 6 On the left: 3 Knight Dog, a name that sounds like a reference I don't get. They present HerpicleOmnicron5's Argosiasus Barkskin the elf, Brick Moses' SRIRACHA FARTSTORM the elf, King Cohort's Digmuch Hardhead the kobold and ignite memories' Harold Bird II the Human. On the right: We're all Friends Here! Their lineup is Spoggerific's A Heart of Steel the dwarf, Frozen_Flame's Brother Boccob the dwarf, Maugrim's Rambold the kobold and Anta's Uselessly long cumbersome name the goblin. As someone who usually types out names instead of relying on c/p, I hate you all, but especially Herp-whatever and Anta.  Today, we actually have an archer! Boccob pulls out his crossbow, targeting the elves, and... whiffs completely. The melee fighters join battle before he can fire a second time, and Argosiasus almost chops A Heart of Steel's head off with his first swing. Dwarves are far more insensitive to pain than elves, though, as Heart demonstrates: his platinum war hammer catches the other elf's foot, and FARTSTORM collapses instantly when he tries to put weight on it, unable to even hold onto the light of consciousness.  A little south, Digmuch and Hal Bird abuse Uselessly, the kobold's pick taking out his foot and the halberd crushing his ribs and embedding itself in his chest cavity. Digmuch then turns and chops off Rambold's shield hand. Hal Bird tugs on his eponymous weapon, but it doesn't come free... and Uselessly is still focused. He thrusts his own spear at the human, and bone snaps. Human falls atop goblin. Neither will stand again this fight. Hal Bird proves the more bloody-minded, though, and in two more sweeps of his dreadful weapon Uselessly is struck down. First kill.  Now it's up to just A Heart of Steel and Rambold to hold the line for their archer, Boccob, who has yet to fire a second bolt. The de-shielded Rambold moves to engage Hal Bird, while A Heart of Steel tries to stand off Digmuch and Argosiasus so he can finish off the unconscious elf. His heart may be steel, but Heart's leg is not. When the kobold's pick strikes him, he finally drops to the floor.  A Heart of Steel's head goes flying, even as his teammate's, Uselessly long cumbersome name, head finally hits the ground and starts rolling along. It will eventually fetch up against the north-western wall.  (This is A Heart of Steel's head, one z-level up) But all hope is not lost! Brother Boccob finishes his fumble-fingered reloading and shoots another bolt. It flies harmlessly past both elves, not even close enough to merit a 'miss' mention. Good job.  We turn our attention back to Rambold, only to discover Harold Bird and Digmuch Hardhead launch a whirlwind dual attack that crushes leg, hand, liver, kidney... Argosiasus Barkskin joins in on the fun just in time to steal the kill before bloodloss overcomes what's left of the kobold.  Three Z-levels up, A Heart of Steel's head is still flying, with every indication of it still being airborne when the fight is decided.  Brother Boccob slips into an altered state of consciousness. Argosiasus Barkskin misses him twice at point-blank range, then tries a body-check that sees him bounce off himself! Will newly-empowered Boccob's ineffable knowledge let him turn this around? Two more misses from the elf, and two from Digmuch. The third bolt flies... almost nowhere. He whiffed a point-blank shot against two enemies. They still can't hurt him, though, and Harold Bird II has not yet dragged himself over on his hands. When he does, he merely adds to the misses against the transcendant Boccob.  Another bolt flies. It strikes Argosiasus in the leg, and the elf drops, unable to put weight on his shattered tibia. Elegantly, Boccob weaves away. Digmuch barely ducks the next bolt. And... Boccob's martial trance fades. No longer invincible, he is struck by Digmuch's pick. A second time. A third. Limp fingers drop his remaining arrows, and he slips into another altered state of being... this one is 'unconsciousness'. After Hal Bird hits him with his steel, it is upgraded into 'death'. 4-0 victory for 3 Knight Dog over We're All Friends Here Kills: Harold Bird II - 2, Digmuch Hard Head - 1, Argosiasus Barkskin - 1 Combat Log  Oh, Boccob did last long enough for A Heart of Steel's head to land. Small victories. ZeeToo fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Sep 19, 2014 |

Yessss! Am I reading this right? I keep going back to re-check, and the only conclusion I can reach is that harold managed to decapitate a goblin that he was lying on top of, with a halberd, and in such a manner than his decapitated head flew up into the air. That's amazing. edit: yep, just checked the combat logs. Love it. Great fight, you guys! I think harold has collected 3 heads at this point. P.s, it is a pun on Three Dog Night.
