Small goblin invasion in Woundtorment. I'm activating my two squads of professional soldiers and sending them out to meet the enemy. No civies nearby so I don't bother with the military alert. Suddenly my baroness and mayor stick their heads out of my exploratory mineshaft, they are right between the gobbos and my military!
The duchess (no mandates) dodges a couple of attacks and runs for the fort. Very good.
My mayor charges the enemy, alone! 16 goblins! She's my mayor, bookkeeper, broker and manager. Oh feck...
6 pages of combat log later:
my mayor has killed 10 goblins with her bronze pick. Not a scratch on her!
"Death is all around us. This is truly horrifying."Indeed, it's truly horrifying how you butchered 10 gobbos all by your lonesome! I consider your buckler mandates top priority from now on. We wouldn't want you to throw a hissy fit in the meeting hall... 0_o

The battlefield:
The gobbos were weak but it's still an impressive display imo. Putting my VIPs into a squad and training them really paid off.
PS: It seems DF gave her a hero's name, "Ros Rober" which probably means "Decisive Wipe" or similar. Very fitting! =3
She likes platinum. I think I'll have my blacksmith working on something nice for her. And she'll move into the larger quarters next to the duchess.
