So I was minding my business when suddenly I got a very odd message, "A dwarf has sprung from ambush!" and the camera focused to my cage traps, there was a few goblin wrestlers standing around and a swordsdwarf in one of the cages.

Wait, what the hell?
Can someone explain this?
I dealt with the ambush and the swordsdwarf is in my animal stockpile inside a nice copper cage but I'm clueless as to what just happened.

Also, when my dwarfs ran outside to collect all the loot I had another goblin ambush but there was a hostile hammerdwarf among em, I kicked his ass and all but what the hell is going on here?

Babysnatched dwarves from world gen are accompanying goblins to attempt to kick your ass.

I see...
Makes sense.

I always believed goblins ate babies though.

Nah, in fact if you end up in adventurer mode in a friendly goblin fort, the goblin theives say that they have been "Rescuing lost children" as their profession.

[Boatmurderer]

Wait wait wait... "Rescuing" lost children? Rescuing "lost" children? So the Goblin Baby-snatchers see themselves as missionaries for their Demonic God? And they're saving Dwarf children from "damnation" or something?

[CrazyEyes]

Very few people see themselves as the bad guy.

[Demonic Gophers]

Wait wait wait... "Rescuing" lost children? Rescuing "lost" children? So the Goblin Baby-snatchers see themselves as missionaries for their Demonic God? And they're saving Dwarf children from "damnation" or something?

Or, considering the conditions in a lot of player fortresses, saving them from a horrible death.

[penguinofhonor]

Goblins just got a whole lot cooler.

[Pexxithan]

I'm surprised there isn't a goblin god dedicated to "saving" children.

[Jackrabbit]

I'm still going to set my kittens on them. on tore a gobin's leg off. slowly. (mod)

[R1ck]

I wonder if you can tame those hostile dwarves. That would be pretty awesome.

[Boatmurderer]

Never. The goblins have corrupted them utterly. They live above ground. They drink water.

For Armok's sake, they shave!

[GoreTaco]

For Armok's sake, they shave!

Gasp! What blasphemy is this?! 

[Kagira]

Can probably still sell them for a good profit, though.

[Haven]

All of my goblin ambushes have been led by humans... Mostly ones with a page worth of trophies.

As for what happens to snatched babies...



Obviously insanity.
