I just had a small Goblin Ambush.
However my militia number two: A macedwarf and my militia commander. Vs. Several Goblin Pikemen. Both were killed without even hurting a single goblin. A single goblin managed to get inside the walls before the drawbridge was raised, but I lowered it & it ran outside so I closed the drawbridge again.
Alot of my Dwarfs are outside, with the Goblins. The guys left inside are cut off from the farms, and as most of the harvest is trapped outside it won't be long before they run out of food. Luckily they have a well, & the hospital is at least admitting patients, though it remains to be seen what my chief medical dorf can do with them. We've managed to kill a single goblin, it was attacked by about five dogs who tore it to bits. I've lost several dwarfs, not sure how many yet. 34 Dwarfs are trapped outside, only 12 remain inside. I dare not open the gate for fear that more goblins could invade. Luckily this isn't .18 so they won't become partiers, but I have no rock as of yet inside the fortress, and no miners.
27 Dorfs dead in this fort!
Also, as it's above ground, no one's cleaning the blood.
This is a sad sad day for all Dwarf Kind...
Now there's a couple of Elephants joining in the mass slaughter outside of the walls. We can only pray that those trapped outside meet their end quickly.*edit*
There are some miners making a fight of it outside with their picks, one goblin has a punctured Lung, though the miners are all separated so I don't think they'll manage to fight them off
the Chief medical Dorf is trapped outside now, I'm going to have to open the gate & let some guys back in.
