Carnaltools has suffered a sudden increase in local hostility.
A goblin siege force (single squad of 15 speargoblins with a swordsgoblin leader) arrived and routed almost immediately after their leader and a couple of other goblins were pincushioned with bolts. Not too long after, a couple of ambush squads appeared, one of which was a melee squad (swords led by hammer) and the second was Bowgoblins.
The only fatalities attributable to the goblins were some of the elven caravan (luckily, enough survived to haul the latest batch of xClothesx away from my fort) and a guineahen, which is helpful as I now don't have to worry about a mysterious goblin lasher in the middle of my fort.
Unfortunately in the excitement one of my dwarves went missing - turns out he dodged an arrow but hit the bottom of a lake instead. The corpse is inconvenient to retrieve, but slightly more annoying is that he's gone with one of my metal crossbows brought by immigrants (since marksdwarves often use the hammernets attached to the crossbows as an alternate attack, they're still preferable to the wooden ones that I use as standard issue normally).
Oh, and also a vampire turned up. Was originally going to draft him into the militia until I realised that his list of skills just went on forever. Have tried to knock him into a cage trap by deconstructing ceilings on him but caused no lasting damage, so he's currently entombed in rock awaiting something more suitable.
