A vile force of darkness has arrived!
An army of goblins has besieged my fortress, numbering no less than....... six.
Five ranged goblins, seemingly led by a recruit. The recruit decided to employ some advanced strategy - he and one of the crossbowmen spawned in a tree! However, they quickly hit an unexpected snag - A flock of emus was passing by! Immediately the bowman and crossbowmen began assaulting the emus with full force, while the recruit decided the emus were too much and ran away instantly. From a tree.
As my 10-man mostly-elite militia charged to the scene, they triggered another alert - Snatcher! Protect the children!
I noticed the goblin snatcher was flashing, and upon closer inspection, the it was in fact a goblin lady consort. A spearmaster split from the group, crippled the lady consort who had decided that sneaking through a battle unarmed was wise and stranged the slinking filth to death.
Meanwhile, the rest of the militia exterminated the 4 goblins on the ground, having taken no hits that were not dodged or shield-blocked. Then, the one who'd spawned in a tree, while hardier than their leader and willing to brave emus, ran away too.
Seriously, though - don't thieves usually carry daggers or something? And was it really wise to send in a Lady Consort as a snatcher? (Even ignoring the fact they tried to sneak undetected through the same spot where their pathetic 6-man siege was waging war on emus) I guess they have a chance of sending noteworthy goblins like noble consorts in as snatchers? Now I'm kind of hoping they send in someone even more important to get slaughtered... while their military dick around in a tree fighting emus.
