From the Front: A battle report. Apologies for the massive length, but sometimes this game requires it.
20 Hematite, 131 – Year four of the founding of Nishnanir “Tradedrhymed”
It hasn't been a quiet season. The recent arrival of the Elven caravan coincided with the fourth goblin incursion. The siegecrafters assured me all would be well, as the last wave had lost half their cave-dragons and goblin hammerers to the trapped roads leading to the gates, and the rest to the wave of magma released by the smith's guild from the iron floodgates over the obsidian fortress gates.
The first hint that things might be different came with the thin wails of the elves as they were slaughtered somewhere over the shoulder of the mountain's southern ridge. The guard decided to raise the drawbridge as curls of smoke started to rise from the forest behind the hill crest. It was a moot point. The goblins had brought a friend – a legendary dragon – which swooped down the hill as the last of the dwarves scrambled though the closing doors. Looking around, the beast, somehow, spotted the iron floodgates and, rather than tackling the heavily defended main entrance, charged up the hill and, with a few swipes of its talons, tore the gates from their seat in the rock. That the magma promptly buried the dragon, incinerated its terrified goblin rider and slowly drowned it was little consolation for the news, delivered by shamefaced engineers, that no safety gates had been installed higher up the magma channel.
There was no way to stop the lava, rising now towards the gates and the siege fortifications.
If the engineers failed us, the masons were the heroes of the day. While distant elite goblins tried to snipe through the fume-belching arrow slits in the siege rampart, the masons managed to raise the arrow shutters and began madly tearing down the catapult and ballista to make way for a dam of obsidian. A second squad swiftly blocked the main gate with another wall before the gates gave way under the pressure of the rising sea of magma.
That I'm writing this shows they succeeded. In the aftermath, we looked out over the boiling cauldron of flame, lava and charring bones. Another entrance could – would have to be – carved higher on the slopes, but it would take months – years before it was heavily enough fortified to open to the outside and the next wave of raiders.
We needed wood. We needed additional water. We needed to go down.
In a month of epic labor, the miners did – delving over 140 levels before striking a deep cavern with a sea of fresh water, just yards above the endless magma seas. The smiths had been working at full speed, and wicked blades were ready for the planned series of traps to secure the lower entry to the fortress from the underworld, but the stairs made the installation a slow process. We had to have water and wood and something to brew. We had to breach the caverns and we had to do it now, not in six months.
The mining guild quickly hacked out a rough barracks room yards from the cavern, around a blind bend, and installed our most veteran squad of militia, the Laborious Murders, under command of Sibrek Degmedtob, militia commander.
Then the miners shattered the last skin of rock and opened the way. As the final wall fell, chill subterranean air rolled in, heavy with the smell of fungus, fresh water and, dimly, a musty animal musk.
For a month, nothing occurred, other than a few gremlins giving the squad's wardogs some much-needed diversion. The Laborious Murders settled into their new home, happy enough with the new arena to practice their bloody craft in endless drills, but slightly annoyed at the epic hike needed to secure the barrels of Dwarven wine that fueled them.
They can be forgiven for being distracted. Tales from the surface weren't reassuring as the lava now completely covered the entirity of the once-green vale that had lain before the gates. In any case, it was a day like any other, the strong-point echoing with the clash of battle drill and only Axe Lord Lolor Becorudib on watch, sleepily watching the hallway, where the engineers' chalk-marks noted places that, eventually, would conceal cunning traps.
Lolor can be also be forgiven for not remembering clearly just what came down the passage. It was a pteradon, or sorts, with three tails and a leathery hide. Dribbles of white fog drooled from between a serried multiplicity of teeth and tattered wings lay folded against its flanks as it wedged its bulk down the passage toward the guard post and, across its few yards of floor, the stairwell that led into the heart of Nishnanir.
The Forgotten Beast, Ozzeb Ngogngodosmu Xosprusm, has come!
Lolor met the beast, charging down the hall to stop it with no thought for persona safety. Note to the Mayor – recommend for a citation for bravery. The beast was apparently not expecting this level of welcome.

The Forgotten Beast falls over.
Writhing, struggling to find its feet and in some shock, the beast twisted its toothy head and the fanged mouth gaped, the dribbles of fog swelling into an explosion of freezing mist tainted with ancient decay. Lolor raised her iron shield, leaning forward as a gales of breath as cold as space filled the hall.
The Axe Lord blocks the breath.
Ice-crystals furred the face of the shield, and its metal creaked with a pained sound as the cold twisted its material – but the armorer's work held.
“What are you doing out there, Lolor?” commander Sibek called, still sparring.

“No you weren't. I had you, easy.”
“You're mom's the easy one, mate. I had you right...”
(At this point the militia commander and the hammerer actually get a glimpse of a frost-coated Lolor swinging her axe at something vast, wreathed in mist and dripping steaming blood. When it roars the stones shake and the drill comes to an immediate halt, the Laborious Murders turning toward the visitor with a variety of oaths. Well, except for the two slowcoaches in the back.)
