WTF? Stupid Goblin! Let go!
« on: October 07, 2008, 10:32:10 am »

So, one of my Dorfs is waling to my glass tower buildsite carrying her baby son with her when *SNATCHER! Protect the Children!* pops up.
I zoom to the Goblin and I am upset to see a leg on the ground and blood everywhere.
I think, Damn, goblin stabbed the mother good.
But then she runs off, fast. Really fast for a one legged bleeding woman.
Turns out the snatcher had removed the baby's leg.
I have a horrible picture in my head of the Mother and the Goblin tugging on the baby till its leg popped off.
Worst part is as she ran off at high speed (She is perfectly agile) she left a red trail of baby blood everywhere.
I think I shall rename the baby Urist McStumpy.

Really funny thing is the Dwarf is the one I named after my wife after she asked me to name someone after her. After I told her this story she now insists I don't name any dwarfs after her anymore.

That'll teach her a valuable lesson about DF.

Train up the child as a legendary marksdwarf. YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE.

No the child will make an excellent legendary fortress guard.

I picked up the stone and carved my name into the wind.

The dwarf he named his wife after had her kid lose a leg to goblin snatcher.

Still, that is golden.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.
