I threw a stone while running away from Kobolds and it broke his hip.
And then in another battle with Kobolds I threw a wolf corpse and broke a Kobold's knee.
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took a wolf corpse to the knee."

That's what I love about Dwarf Fortress. No matter how good or powerful you are, or how much of an advantage you have. You can still die.
Corbiere:
I am living in fear of archers. They have a certain advantage over pretty much everything, and whenever I travel anywhere I get attacked by at least 20 kobolds and goblins in the intervening period.
If one hits my foot and "Ability to Stand Lost" occurs, I'm done for...again.
Also, how long does one DF year take to pass on Adventurer Mode? I've played for about 7 hours and it's still mid summer.

I'd imagine it's 365 days.
Also, if you want to have a higher chance to live, you can swim a lot and raise your strength, agility, and toughness through the roof. It is pretty boring though.
