Battle of 128

The Battle of 128 was a goblin attack on GorgeAdmired on the 15th of Hematite, Spring of 128.

Urist McDwarf, in a freshly strange mood had claimed an outdoor carpenter's workshop to the southwest of the longhall, and was working on The Scinitllating Cobra (Birchen bed) when he came under fire from a goblin crossbowman. Four goblin axemen and a crossbowman were spotted.

The council, and other citizens, debated a course of action. Meanwhile, urist McDwarf managed to dodge several attacks from axegoblins on his way to the carpenter's workshop. Ultimately the council decided  to attack the goblins instead of waiting inside the longhall for them to go away.

One isolated axegoblin was killed, at the loss of two peasants. The Dwarves then engaged the remaining axegoblins and crossbowgoblin. 6 peasants were incapacited, but all goblins were killed by peasants.

Notably, councillors Teledwarf Amostod, Kerod Tekkudlisat  and Neblime Inkydance engaged a goblin in hand to hand combat, failing to inflict any serious injury due to inadequate weapons and goblin armour.

In the aftermath of the battle, Urist McDwarf completed his artifact.
