That kid is HARDCORE.

Also, I now have three of them. Riggs, Callahan, and Murtaugh.

Seriously, are all hunters badasses now? I remember them running away from carp (back then, who wouldn't?)

but now these guys are hiding in bushes and killing the living crap out of goblin seiges before my actual army can get out there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised about random civilians shooting everything in sight if I'm going to name the place "Shootconfuse" but I expect unarmored hunters to have some kind of preservation instinct.

Awesome side note 1: while shooting the living hell out of goblins despite the commissioner's orders, the lone gunmen are still labeled as "hunting."

Awesome side note 2: Callahan shot a gobbo in the hand to disarm him, then killed him with his bare hands.

Ambushing skill gives bonuses to agility, which is a god-stat for both dodging and hitting things with a bow. So yeah. All hunters are badass and prime candidates for eventually being retired and given a position in the military. If you think they're bad now you need to put them in full layered steel and lock them in a danger room.

Generally speaking, legendary dwarves are truly... legendary. Almost all skills have some kind of stat bonus. Miners are also made of awesome and good candidates for the military.

Just observed in my fortress.  I have a 6 Z-level deep pit adjacent to a dodge-trap array, with a row of cage traps in the corridor leading out.  Goblins who survive the weapon traps and drop get captured for military practice.  A mason was replacing a cage in the trap array when a badly injured goblin staggered out of the pit.  The mason dropped the cage he was hauling, went over to the prone goblin, put it in a headlock and spent several pages of combat report punching the goblin in the head.  Then, he dropped the goblin and went back to reloading the cage trap.  That's just pointless cruelty right there, the guy's not even in the military.

He wasn't holding the goblin in a headlock and punching it, he was giving him noogies.  They were secretly frat brothers together in college and this is the traditional greeting.

Dwarf noogies, like almost all other forms of interaction, are known to cause concussions in the less sturdy races. This is often misinterpreted as violence.

Odd, when you consider how easily a dwarven skull seems to get broken.

Maybe they're just too drunk to care.

1. Too drunk to care

2. Too drunk to notice frat brother is dead

3. Too drunk to notice that they are covered in ground organs

Too drunk to notice they are casually pummelling in a skull.
