I created an Accomplished Crossbowman, and got a Hammerman, Bowman, and Pikeman joining me. We got a quest to defeat "the wife of the Starved Man". So I go to the site thinking that the monster was just some mentally unstable lady who lost her husband to Starvation. But, this being Dwarf Fortress, Armok decided it'd be funny to not inform me they were demonic things. We slay the Wife, and I go a-looting for ammo, money, and maybe some meat, but, (again) Armok decides that two more should join the fray. After a brutally long battle including crossbow bolts, cages, and an appendage from one of the Starving Men, we return as heroes, and are sent to the far side of the island. Literally one Fucking travel square away from my destination, we get ambushed by Goblins. We are all killed in a few moments.
God, I hate Goblins...
