Recently assailed by goblin bandits. And I know they were bandits due to thier mishmash of weaponry and no clearly defined leader (I'm guessing it was the axegob or speargob; the rest were rangers or hammermen all just kinda mushed into one unit) and I didn't get the usual Vile Force of Darkness screen - or goblin civ on my civ screen. There were roughly... 9-10 combatants against four militia dwarves, though Uruf the magpie lover looking for her damned bird lured a few away.
Hero of the battle was Deon, with 5 kills. And the Axedwarf went from experiencing mortal fear (after several goblins were killed,) to killing someone because his nap time got interrupted. SPecifically, the sole survivor initially was a goblin marksman who tried to sneak away through the trees. Deon spotted him and proceeded to quite unceremoniously chop both hands in half and then decapitate him the second the poor fool got down from a tree.
Casualties for Copperforest consist of the macedwarf Rethe, who got one kill before a charging hammergoblin caught him from behind and fractured his leg, and nobody else. The casualties sustained and sheer spectacle of four flying goblin heads courtesy of Squib and Deon scared the shit out of two civvies and most of the goblins save the axeman. Who was subsequently chopped into bloody ribbons.
Can't wait for the next ones! Gon' be fun.
