It was the Cutest thing EVER.
Out they come.
4 of them, with copper and silver and iron equiptment,

1 have 40 soldiers.
Most of whom are legendary in 2 or more combat skills.

They Kobolds are so cute, thinking they could play with the big boys...

I set up my awesome pit trap, put some steel axe blade traps on the other side of it and finally placed a bunch of cage traps near my entrance... just in case.  An animal was tethered further in, for thieves.  I then relaxed.

A few years later, a kobold ambush appeared.  They murdered two or three dwarves before being punched away by my hastily conscripted militia.  Trap dodging fuckers.

Heh, I cant help but feel kobolds got a stealth nerf somewhere recently...from previous versions im well used to thieves that surprise a hauler or fisherdorf getting a stab or 2 in with their dagger, sometimes even fatally due to no armor on said dwarves and daggers small contact area.

In my current .18 fort I have 2 rabbit pups (genesis) tethered as watch/bait and they just killed a kobold thief using their 'push' attacks, they took no wounds.

(kobold dodged the very first shot and hit the wall of my moat taking a stun, 2 pups then 'pushed' him to death over 12 pages)

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

If you want to see truly evil Kobolds, read this about Tucker's Kobolds.  It's something from the old tabletop Dungeons and Dragons game.

I'm an old lady, so I remember reading that article in the magazine when it came out!
