YOU COWARDS!! How DARE you call yourselves dwarves, you stinking sons-of-elves!! 5 guards, 5 pack animals, and you STILL ran away the first time a Giant Badger bit one of your camels!!
Who spotted the goblin amubush on the other side of the map? We did.
Who played pincushion to distract the goblin bowmen? We did.
Who slaughtered the goblin bowmen, and left them in 4 times as many pieces as they came in? We did.
Who ran away? YOU DID!!!
I need those gold nuggets and marble boulders. The baroness wants gold and marble items, and we don't have any on the map. I've given you huge profits. You've never lost anyone
(unlike the poor humans, who discovered the last ambush). WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY?!?!? WHY?!?!?
Bloody cowardly elven bastards.

Seriously, 5 merchants w/pack animals, 5 guards, the only animal that got hurt was one of the camels. It ended up passing out on a cage trap, which probably caused the caravan to leave. Not sure, I was distracted by the squad of bowgobs on the other side of the map. 2/3 of my militia (4 midlevel axedwarves) + the caravan guards, nobody chasing the Giant Badgers (they're on my roof right now, just chillin'), and nobody noticed the camel being attacked right outside the entrance to my fort? Right next to the 1st waypoint on 2 patrol routes? Really bad timing in there somewhere. Now the baroness is gonna demand heads because we don't have any gold or marble or naked moledog leather.
