Those weren't goblins. That level of stupidity, and that loss of life through so many harmless actions, each leading to a massive suicide...
Those are green dwarves. There's no other explanation for that level of stupid.
green skinned, bearded... we're all urist on the inside.
That sounds like Goblin Thief talk to me... Or possibly a Vampire... Where's the Hammerer?!
Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair, and the !!Fun!! comes to call... the Goblins get the receiving end of it instead of the fledgeling fort they invaded.”

umm.... either Master Thief or Warlord, but yes, goblin.
but there is quite an upside to being a goblin. my experience has shown that goblins fight elves almost as much as dwarves fight goblins.
the reasons that dwarves and goblins fight are many, but here are the chart toppers:
5- dwarves are willing to trade with the elves. snodub would rather impale them all on -long iron pikes-.
4- dwarves refuse to see the delight of troll ranching and insist on raising those blasphemous beasts, cats and dogs.
3- goblins are more faithful to armok. their devotion is so strong that they will willingly send each other to his arms with no provocation. the dwarves remain not as enlightened.
2- goblins could probably learn to make steel, but they find taking it from the dwarves to be more fun. unfortunately, the dwarves do not take this good naturedly.
1- aside from the murder discusses earlier, goblins are hostile to anyone not in the "local group"... though they can be neutral to some... if goblins cannot even get along with their own kind, they have no chance of getting along with outsiders.
and some of that perhaps made more sense than i had meant it to.
