Here's the story of the lazy and greedy militia commander in my fortress, Abbeysoared.
I had some goblin ambushes appear, so I sent out my militia, as per usual. They all ran out to fight except my militia commander, Sarvesh Foughtcraft. He was apparently busy going and getting food instead. Soon all but one of the goblins are dead, and I see Sarvesh run out of my front gate. "Ah, here he comes to join in the fighting" I think. But then he runs off in the other direction. It turns out he was actually going off to fill his waterskin from the river.
At one point he was leading a dodging demonstation... while in bed.
Later on, the forgotten beast Sasmcith Gopetbitrak Cáccast Buqui (Sasmcith Spurtpuke the Nightmare of Gills) appears in my caverns. "A gigantic blob composed of salt. It has wings and it has a bloated body. Beware its poisonous sting!" I thought it was safely locked in, then I lost track of where it was and forgot about it for a while, but then I notice something strange in one of my corridors. A pile of salt and a couple of wings just lying there, the remains of Sasmcith. He apparently got into my fort and died somehow. So I check the logs, and the only entry is Sasmcith being stabbed in the back by Sarvesh and falling to bits.
I then notice that his corpse is a few steps away from my food storage area.
I like to think that Sarvesh was sitting in the pantry stuffing his face as usual, and then thought to himself "Hmm, this yak roast could do with more salt", wandered out and noticed a giant blob of salt, "Ah, this'll do!" *Smash* *NOM*.
