The Halls of Ambiguity just suffered an ambush of two goblin squads (lasher & axe). The lashers caught my mason/hauler brigade completely by surprise as they were extending the forts wall. Had my peons figured to run back into my fort, I might have survived with zero dwarven casualtes. Alas, being between the fort entrance (with a pastured war dog pack just behind the first curve) and a squad of bloodthirsty greenskins, they figured it would be a good time to go for a run along my forts outer wall straight into the goblin axe squad waiting further ahead.
It took a while for my militia (12 strong) to reach the initial ambush site. Fearing further hidden enemy squads, I stationed my three axe dwarfs at the entrance, while the rest chased at the general direction of the somewhat scattered goblins. In an effort to save the few civilian survivors of the initial ambush, I divided my six sworddwarfs against the full lasher squad while my spears went for the remnants of the goblin axe squad that was cut to shreds by my advancing sword dwarfs. In the end I lost six out of seven haulers, while a single goblin lasher escaped by the maps edge while being chased by half a dozen angry dwarfs.
And now my soon to be countess has just mandated some candy.
All in all a good day.
