Attacked a bandit camp where none of the bandits fought back as a group, they would only defend themselves after they were attacked individually.

And then when I went into a nearby hamlet I was attacked by a gang of elves. At first it was a fistfight, but when they started to beat a companion of mine to death I started chopping limbs off. Then they fled and as I was leaving another group killed me. What gives? What happened?

The hamlet isn't an elf-owned settlement either, nor anywhere near an elf settlement.

Are you sure it was a bandit camp? Don't get them confused with refugee camps! :)

Sounds to me like you just slaughtered a camp of refugees, you monster.

It reminds me of the childkiller title from fallout series.

But refugees can be bandits too I think. In my current world, the dwarven race was nearly extinct. Only two or three camps with a handful of dwarves left. The last survivors, as all fortresses and hillocks and even caves of this civ got ruined by a war with elves, orcs, goblins and duergar (my game is heavy modded).

In Legends mode, all of the camp sites were labeled as "Bandit camps" and the inhabitants behaved much like criminals. As i started a new fortress to repopulate the world with dwarves, my migrants came actually from these camps, but in Legends mode they are referred to as "refugees". So, they can be both: Refugees and survivors of a destroyed civilization, who turned to banditry out of hunger or so I think.

GORLAK: A small, round humanoid found wandering the caves deep underground. Most of its body is taken up by a huge tusked mouth. Its skin is goldenrod, its eyes are red.

Dwarves admire Gorlaks for their impressive tusks, stimulating conversations and helpful guidances.
