I got a nice character running, that survived many quests and keep's dungeon exploring and had more than 20 notable kills .
I got a quest to seek a lord in a keep that wanted to talk to me, i went and he gave me the quest to kill a titan at some distance of the town, my first titan killing quest.
At that point, my character had enough fame to recruit many followers, i got probably more than 10 by then.
So leading my little army we went straight to the location of the quest.
But just before arriving, we were ambushed by goblins.
And it wasn't a simple goblin squad, but a whole army of them, never saw so many goblin ambushing any of my characters, i wonder if the size of my private army had to do with it, but it was quickly obvious the numbers were too much, my followers were falling one after another and the few kills we managed weren't pushing the scales into our favours.
At some point it was obvious this was going to end badly, so imitating an axeman of my group that just fled, i ran away the same, unfortunately 2 goblins were still following me, and a nasty wound from a previous quest that while healed was still impacting my speed, i couldn't run for too long before they reached me.
So i stopped, after all there were only 2 goblins, my characters was really good and had high axe and fighting skills, my trusty silver axe should defeat those in no time.
When the first goblin come to contact, SHIFT+A -> noticed the difficulty of each part were higher than usual, and so selected the only one that wasn't at difficult, the upper body.
Then ... hmm why is my axe not listed in my attack possibilities ?
I pressed escape and pressed I to check my inventory ... no axe ?
What , what happened to my axe i always had in my character hand ?
Hmm, looked at my character screen , just noticed he was bleeding, and looking deeper i saw that the hand ... was gone.
Huh ? damn, i didn't ever noticed in the hundred of announcement spam of the big battle that a goblin slashed that hand and the axe with it.
Too bad my character had terrible wrestling/kicking/etc skills, and so the 2 goblins then had an easy win.
