I just had my first seige ever, about five wrestlers and fives swordsgoblins, I pulled the "OH FUCK" lever in order to seal my fort, but it would seem that SOMEONE decided to go get himself plastered instead of linking up the Trade Depot Entrance's bridge to the lever.
I set up a special little system in case of elves crazy merchants, where when I destroy a section of flooring, the entire trade depot drops 15 Z-levels into oblivion, and that turned out to be my last option available, as my entire military was 6 Legendary Wrestlers, and 4 of them got messed up my marksgobbos in an ambush a while back (no casualties, only 4 military dwarves and a fisherdwarf were injured.)
I told my mason to drop it like it's hot, and he started deconstructing the floor, when I noticed a small red happy face on the wrong side of the fortress, crawling around and flashing question marks at me.
Oh Shit. A Baby. And just as the goblins found the entrance.
The goblins tore down the hallway towards the baby, and despite everything my moral compass was telling me, I had to acknowledge that nothing short of an act of god was going to save that baby.
That's when it happened.
Out of nowheres, Fikod BoltBalances "The Confining Muscle" FLIES across the depot, Clearing it just before it drops, OUTRUNS the dust, Snatches up her baby, and in one motion, snatches a goblin's sword, and hurls it through his friend so hard it knocks him a few tiles away an pinned his corpse to the wall.
Now there was a short moment of silence right about then, when the goblin horde looked at the corpse, then at the dwarf, then back at the corpse. but they must have thought "It's only one dwarf and her baby, what can they do?"
And so began the slaughter.
One goblin rushes Fikod, She dodges, and kicks him in the back, plunging him into the abyss that remained from the Depot's demise. Three swordgoblins rushed her, hoping to overwhelm her with numbers, but within a few seconds, Fikod dismantled them with her spare hand.
The rest of the siege begins to wonder if this is all worth it, as Fikod leaps into the center of them, and rips off someone's arm, only to begin wielding it as a club, maiming most of the seige before throwing it back at the goblin she ripped it off of. or rather, THROUGH the goblin she ripped it off of.
The rest of the siege decides "Screw this" and takes off like OJ simpson, but Fikod would have none of that. She managed to hunt down another two and rip them apart before he left the map. only one goblin survived the encounter. I can only assume she let him live so he can tell his people what happened.
