Summary0008254: Inconsistency in mutilation image description
DescriptionAccording to the text on the figurine my dwarves just created, a given mutilation was either
a) an action taken by the dwarf Melbil Archsafety against a nameless goblin, or
or
b) an action taken by something called The Big Seducer against both the dwarf Melbil Archsafety and the dwarf Zasit Lancercreed

However, the text is contradicting itself.
Additional InformationExact description:

This is a masterful water buffalo bone figurine of Melbil Archsafety created by Legend Elkbone Roldethmistem.
The item is a masterfully designed image of Melbil Archsafety the dwarf and a goblin in water buffalo bone by Legend Elkbone Roldethmistem. The goblin is being mutilated by Melbil Archsafety. The artwork relates to the horrible mutilation of the bodies of the dwarf Melbil Archsafety and the dwarf Zasit Lancercreed by The Big Seducer in Gemtemple in the midspring of 38 during The Pillaging of Gemtemple.

I assume that "The Big Seducer" is an object(weapon) and that "Legend Elkbone Roldethmistem" is the name the dwarf who created and decorated (during creation) the artifact.
I believe that it would make more sense if rewritten as follows:

This is a masterful water buffalo bone figurine of Melbil Archsafety created by Legend Elkbone Roldethmistem.
[On] [t]he item is a masterfully designed image of Melbil Archsafety the dwarf and a goblin in water buffalo bone by Legend Elkbone Roldethmistem. The goblin is being mutilated by Melbil Archsafety. The artwork relates to the horrible mutilation of the bodies [by](not of) the dwarf Melbil Archsafety and the dwarf Zasit Lancercreed by (replaced with with or using to eliminate repetition?) The Big Seducer in Gemtemple in the midspring of 38 during The Pillaging of Gemtemple.

I'm pretty sure The Big Seducer is the goblin group that conquered the site. The artwork is describing a specific atrocity that occurred among a set of atrocities. Please reopen if you can confirm otherwise.
