So I made a fortress and made a pretty awesome shack before you enter my fort filled with war dogs. If a hostile stands on a pressure pad it opens the door and the dogs come running out to chew the offenders. That worked great the first time, but they killed all my dogs. I thought instead of waiting for new dogs to grow up and be trained I'll start a dwarf army named after various people from THN. At the start there was I, Nanor Erithgidthur, a professional marksdwarf who single handedly repelled an attack of 5 goblins. Then there was Sully Gidthurkadol (Gizmo-5), another marksman, who is yet to see any battle. Finally there was Waterproofbob Vumomoltar Nekutz with absolutely no fighting ability as he hadn't been trained.
Freshly equipped with copper chainmail, a copper sword and a copper shield, bob decided to take a walk to the front of my fortress to get some plump helmet wine when more goblins decided to ambush the fort to try and steal the stuff the elves were selling. Seeing as bob and no fighting experience
at all I tried to call him back. Too late. I couldn't send him any reinforcements as Gizmo and I were sleeping so it was up to bob to die as the first fortress martyr. Apparently not. Instead bob went into a martial trance killing 7 goblins single handedly. He cut off one of their arms, one of their heads then when there was no-one left to kill he went and got some wine.
Good old bob.
EDIT: So, er, I sent Ronin and Bob out to kill the goblin invaders without any proper ranged support. They were doing well. Bob managed to throw a goblin into a wall, shattering his skull and Ronin was covered in Goblin blood. Then Bob got shot in the arm with an arrow, breaking his arm. Ronin was shot through the head and killed instantly. Bob tried to crawl away but was beset upon by 5 goblins who tore off his hand. A friendly human helped him but unfortunately he bled to death.
Oh well, they can be replaced. Take this spear, Trax.
