O.K that went badly. I will now tell the story of Stozu's second rampage through Playpapers.
The thumping of marching goblins could be heard well within the depths of Playpapers on that fateful day. It was the 17th of Limestone, our fortress was only just recovering from the previous goblin assault when a wave of goblins hit us for the second time in only months. As normal I ordered Marksdwarves to the wall, Warrior's to the gatehouse and civilians inside while the goblins began their assault. Our warriors consisted of three battle hardened champions (one of which was sleeping). All with legendary skills in wrestling and experts with the sword. These champions had killed numerous goblins and even a dragon before, however they weren't prepared for what was coming to them.
Numerous goblins, hundreds I am told rushed these two champs. They withstood hit after hit, stabbing and killing every wrestler and pikewielder that came their way. They fought and killed two goblin sword masters sustaining not but an injury. However this fighting exhausted the champs and they were beginning to tire. This was their downfall. Because as soon as they became tired the goblin legend Stozu launched his attack. He faced of with Listast first, she was known as a dragon killer to dwarf kind. However the Listast was no match and with one swing of his Morningstar, Listast went flying, struck the wall and died. Next was Keb, who was not quite as experienced in the art of killing goblins but still with champion status. He was hit by a single morningstar blow before being killed. Both of my defending champions were dead. Stozu had a clear path to the fortress and took it. He ran straight towards the main Keep. Valiantly my fortress guard who were mostly brain damaged recruits ran out to defend the keep. Three were killed but their bravery had won the day. While Stozu was tied up with the guards my marksdwarves were raining a hail of bolts down on the remainder of his army. Eventually enough goblins were killed to force a goblin retreat. Stozu only steps away from the Keep turned and retreated back out the main gate and on to freedom.
There we go... a nice update to Stozu's story of death and destruction. My fortress is now completely devoid of all experienced military and open to further sieges thanks to the work of Stozu. I would have captured a video of the event but I accidentally stuffed up the save. Oh and another thing that you might find amusing is that if Stozu had made it to the Keep (literally three squares away) he would have been caught in cage trap. Hows that for irony?
Edit] Spelling mistakes and a few names around the wrong way.
