Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode: Tuco Junglejump #2, Pinpricks

[@kruggsmash]

Sorry about the delay on this one, m'bastards. Not going to be replying to comments this time around just because I gotta get my ass moving recording the next episode! I'll be reading through em' though! Thanks for all the kind words!

[@lynthecookie2k23]

No problem! Thanks for the great work, I love watching your stories in Dwarf Fortress!

[@ИванДовгорук-т3о]

You know what, my fellow bearded bastard, home intrusion and murder is not a heroic deed, but everyone is praising it like a David vs Goliath fight. The giantess did not attack Tuco when she first saw her! Big woman ran upstairs and got shot at for almost no reason. It would be justified if our lil Junglejump would have heard some stories of a settlement fallen to a wicked giant, but she did not, didn't she? PS Love your channel and especially your artwork very much)))) PPS giantess should get a redemption ark, (her son or husband meeting the mighty cobold giantslayer)!

[@UNOwenWasMe]

Heh, easy for us as audience to look over how much work one of these episodes takes. Don't worry about it and knock em dead, lad!

[@monkeibusiness]

How dare you. You ruined my thursday with your slacking off. There are no excuses, now back to work with you before we unsub! *Cracks whip* No really i noticed how much of a ritual this has become on thursday. Parasocial interactions are weird sometimes. Have a nice day reading comments, man.

Just wanted to write and say thank you for keeping my love for this game going. Watching you build a fort or travelling as a seal man, boar man or a kobold is my most relaxed I can be. Your story telling has evolved from a “let’s play” into the collaborations and drawing you do now that bring this world to life. Thank you for everything.

B: I've never played the game, only watched Krugg's videos, so I'm not sure what this flashing means, but I believe memders of this community. So, we know that this big flashing G is a criminal, but how would our little Tuco know that? Or we can take the flashing as a indication that Tuco is already aware of the G's criminal past and present. And Krugg just did not bother to mention all the crazy gossip that a drunk dwarf can spread after a couple of bottles of vine on a rainy evening.

[@I_am_Berdbox]

What a trooper, taking on a giant all by her lonesome! I really hope she makes it through this adventure.

[@AtomiskZabaleta]

Wow! That last arrow, I feel like by the time Tuco notched it, the giant had already moved! "Where did it go?!" She'd say, as she hears the slamming of feet next to her, barely able to react in time to get away! So thrilling!

[@SirPrzecinek]

That was a pretty amazing episode, well done Kruggsmash. There is one more way to cross the mountains - there are dwarf fortresses on both sides of the mountains they might be connected by a road leading thru the caverns. If you visit the ruins and fortresses on your side there might be a way across. It can be difficult to find but it is possible (I pulled it off once). When it comes to wolves - the moment you see them you climb a tree and then shoot them from up high, if you have any bolts left you can try that. You can also move across canopies to avoid getting back on the ground - you could go and recover your stuff like that. Can't wait for the next episode. Cheers!

[@innocentqwa4630]

I like to imagine Samir down there fighting off two wolves with a discarded crossbow bolt as a staff.

For the longest time I've dismissed your drawings as epic, yet easy. I mean they seem to be made purposefully childlike. Yet, thinking of it now, it is kind of astonishing. I can only draw from direct references, as soon as its left to my skill and creativity it usually flops! Anyhow, loved the video. You put out great work.

Knowing and playing DF for about over 10 years, I absolutely love this. Not sure how or why I didn't bump into your videos before. Truly amazing work, adorned with super neat voice-acting, sound effects and music, and menaces with spikes of cliffhangers. Thank you! E: If you ever wanted Tuco to become some sort of known figure, I'd guess the only way is to butcher your kills and bring one of their body parts. Drop it in front of people and I think eventually they get the rumor of Tuco having killed that thing. I've never tested it in practice, but I've heard it works so now I always take parts of things I kill and spread around the world so the rumors flow faster. :D

I had a powerful phython man adventurer once, master of many skills, extremely agile, tough and strong, but too large to wear anything other than a cloak and a bajillion bone earings displaying his many kills. There I was ready too face a foe I tracked for months, a vampire. Left my companion behind just in case and took a short rest to replenish energy before facing the fiend. That night, wolves attacked. Since it counted as an ambush and I was asleep, and my companion was not technically with me, and I had no armor, the wolves tore freely into guts, arteries and tendons. I retaliated in vain, the mighty hero torn apart limb from limb, by mere wolves.
