So, I made a fort near an elven civ i was at war with. I embarked without noticing on top of a kobold camp. The 103 little buggers appeared hostile but didn't really mind my dwarves. After looking for the camp on Legends Viewer I noticed that their cave had been destroyed by the same elven civ that nearly wiped out my dwarf civ, so I decided to roll with it.
Four fort years later, a werelemur attacked, but a combination of marksdwarves, kobold wrestlers and caravan guards lynched it, although around 10 kobolds died on the fight.
Not even a month later, a giant wandered into the fort's lands. I called all the dwarves into the burrow I had designated as "oh fuck" while the giant layed waste to the wildlife.
Then, while happily murdering a baby llama on my pastures, three kobolds, a trapper, an animal trainer and a wrestler, ran down from the hills and charged at the beast.
I fully expected three kobold corpses then, but no.
First of all, let's make a size comparison between kobolds and giants.
Yes, kobolds are very tiny, and all of them were unarmed. A single hit from the giant could easily make them implode. The kobolds probably knew that if they got hit, they were dead.
IF they got hit.
The giant started throwing punches wildly, but the sneaky bastard dodged all the hits, punching and scratching the enormous monster uncountable times until the wrestler latches his little kobold teeth on his lower body.
The giant could not take it anymore, and his idiotic laughter quickly turned into frustrated wails, and then screams of terror.
The beast began runing, the kobolds punching and biting him as he went. A single scream was heard to the very bottom of the fortress:
He didn't make it very far, however.
Before all of this had happened, a squad made out of three marksdwarves that got injured during the were attack was sent on what I expected to be a suicidal charge to both slow the giant down and die. Two birds with one stone sort of thing. But two of the dwarves went down into the taverns to hear about how in the year 1 a human became the law giver of the Tufted Empires. The other did tried to get to the giant, but the monster chased a moose all the way around the map, so the poor marksdwarf had to make that weird roundabout himself, and by the time he got to the giant, he saw him on the ground, with three kobolds stomping the shit out of him.
Not only that, but they were better than him at it.
Meanwhile, the meelee dwarves finally got upstairs, but I thought I should just keep them inside the fort. Let the kobolds get their kill.
Eventually, however I noticed the kobolds weren't making any substantial damage on the giant and they were all passing out of exhaustion, so I sent the army in to finish the monster off. The unconcious monster littered with cuts didnt have time to react as the resident spearmaster stabbed him through the skull and the kobold ranger punched him in the nose over and over.
Eventually, the kill went to the dwarves, but I believe the kobolds deserve more merit. Make the world know that even the smaller creature can do great things.
Also, I wanted something marketable.
Before this moment, I was worried about a possible elven siege, after four years waiting, maybe the elves were fostering a huge army to march on us. But seeing how tough this little bastards are, I think we may beat them back, just like they did with a werebeast and that giant.
I, for one, will never underestimate the skulking filth again.
