I was attacked by these guys in my fortress, and the attacks seemed to co-incide with a kobold raid, are they actually smart enough for diplomacy or was it a coincidence? (around 10 of them, 3 kobold thieves, good practice for my new military) ---Major

It was coincidence they attacked at same time--ThVaz 05:35, 20 February 2008 (EST)

Ouch!

In a recent game, a pack of these raided my outpost very early in the game (before I had moved all my stuff into secure stockpiles). They stole several things, including the rope I'd bought so I could build a well as early as possible. Well, I wasn't going to stand for that, so I activated my entire military (all of whom were novice wrestlers or better) and unleashed them on the monkey menace...

Who then managed to kill one of my dwarves!

Fortunately it was my "miscellaneous crafts dwarf" rather than anyone critcal like a miner/woodcutter/farmer, but it was quite a shock and a setback to lose someone so early on. (Although part of a pattern I seem to be getting lately of losing someone within the first year: first a fisherdwarf drowning (dragged in by a long nosed gar, I think), then this macaque murder, and more recently a couple of fire imp attacks).
