The zeroth abduction at Coldclub the silvery Princesses

Umm... I don't think it's possible to have a zeroth anything.

Maybe historians named the First abduction first, and then remembered about this abduction, so they called it the Zeroth Abduction?

In all seriousness, it's probably some minor numbering bug. Also that is one very decorated chunk of rock salt.

I've seen this once too in 39c, in mine I believe it was referring to the first abduction, IIRC.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

Maybe it's the zeroth abduction because the goblin didn't actually manage to abduct anything?  Okay, that might be a stretch.

Has numbering ever worked for anybody that has had an abduction occur during play (not world gen)?  Maybe that whole part is busted.

Numbering kind of works for me.  From what I see, the first abduction that was successful was named "first" and the ones before it are named "zeroth," but I don't have a precise recollection of the number of attempts before the first successful one.

The second abduction attempt is named properly, when the same kid was kidnapped.  Again.

Numbering abductions worked for me. I got up to the fourth attempted abduction I think. I saw a whole lot of engravings of zeroth abductions though but i think they were actually ambushes. Every time a goblin in an ambush died an engraving said he was killed during the zeroth attempted abduction.
