I'm new to this sight but i had a story back from 40d 19 that just needed to be told.
I had started a budding fortress everything was going fine, but then suddenly a goblin ambush. Six goblins out of nowhere about to overrun my puny 7 starting dwarfs so I had nothing to to do but enlist my meager woodcutter to fight them off as he had the only weapon. Armed with nothing but a single axe and his infinite he towards small green things he suddenly he bullrushes straight for the goblins headbutting one so hard its skull is completely crushed. He then enters a martial trance and slices 2 more goblins in half. The other three goblins start to tun but not before he has a chance to chase one down and rip off both its legs.
After this show of greatness the first thing I thought to do was give a name befitting him so I named him Gaston as in from Beauty and the Beast but with a huge beard (

Still being developed with no defenses or military Gaston is once again drafted and attacks the goblins, but suddenly another ambush. Gaston had them right were he wanted them SURROUNDED from the inside goblin limbs fly every as Gaston decimates the ambushers. Later when I had basic defenses (2 cage traps) and a small military with Gaston as the leader another goblins ambush. While all the other military were drowning them selves in booze Gaston goes to take care of them himself. As he exits the entrance to my fortress the first goblin runs up to him at which point he hits the goblin and launches it over 20 tiles away. after seeing this another goblin jumped straight into one of my cage traps and another into the nearby volcano. He then proceeded to slice the rest of the goblins into chunks.
Gaston was undefeated with 20+ kills at this point. By then the goblin king was fed up so he devised a plan. One day out doing a patrol he spots a lone goblin in the forest. He then instinctively charges the goblin but wait ITS A TRAP.
Over 10 Archer Goblins come out of hiding spots and in a flurry of arrows Gaston is finally defeated but not before biting the arms of their squad leader. Gaston was consecrated in a grand mausoleum only fitting of his majesty and a mural displaying his greatness was created in the dining hall. The fortress then proceeded to be overrun by goblins.
