I had a diety diplomat come into my tantruming fortress.  He crawled into the passageway and then got offended
Without any liquid available I figured it wouldn't come to anything, but it was odd as anything.

And his description said "beware his Spittle"
I can just see him talking to the dwarves and them frantically wiping their faces and trying to dodge his spittle as he negotiates.

Thats a clown who has fooled a human civ into thinking he's a god.

This is correct, and can be confirmed by finding the clown in legends mode. It'd be more accurate to call this "*Spoiler* diplomat (totally not a clown, honest)".

Actually it's probably a Clown that convinced the gobbies it was a diety.  But that's nitpicking.

Why couldn't it reach my fortress enterance before becoming upset?

You got a diplomat from the goblin civ?

Did your mayor die or go into a strange mood? Thats usually the reason why diplomat leave.

I'm pretty sure demons don't bother tricking gobbos, but just fight their way to the top. I've never heard of a goblin diplomat: if you look at their trade caravans, its clear you aren't meant to be on friendly relations.

Clowns can trick human civs that they're gods; they then occasionally arrive as diplomats. How nice of them to personally come to negotiate trade agreements...
