Scroll 6
Comrades. Take notice of the importance of vigilance. While Hammerscar was under my leadership we had an intruder. A vile vampire, who drained the blood from a talented engraver. We soon placed the corpse in his room, so his grieving wife and child may not forget him. Then I was off, in search of the killer, to see through the masquerade. It's as if time itself slowed down and turned black and white. I stood in the middle of the busy halls as dwarfs scurried around me, tending to their duties. One dwarf in particular caught my attention though. This dwarf was thrown into our military quickly due to his skills. But the way he moved, the things he knew, the way he spoke, the way he looked, all made my stomach churn. He was odd indeed. I checked further into his background... no family here in the fort, and he claims to have been from many other fortresses. I have a Blackdiamond follow him silently in the shadows stalking him, making sure every step the evil soul makes is noticed. In the mean time I have the miners carve a prison, our metalworker Drake set-up metal bars, and Tirion quickly rigs a leaver to open and close the bar doors.
Quickly I station the militia and the Blackdiamonds nearby the Trade Depot. This ambush was not as smooth as with the elfs. The humans brought guards with them, and they seemed to see our attack coming. I hope we do not have two vile members in our ranks, one that sucks our blood and one that sucks our honor. I instruct Reaver to place the suspect vampire in the front lines. He'll either earn his keep or die trying.
"Grau! Grau!" is screamed shortly. A few are hurt, but our bolts kept any from dieing. We soon gather the human-wares and storm them below. Our local merchant Pan, continues to bitch and moan about the situation. Shortly after I throw the vampire into the hold cell.
While the squads were resting from the drawn out battle with the human caravan the mayor, Rimtar, is heard screaming. She's clinging to her baby, while a goblin snatcher and tugging on it's legs. They are far out of range, and most of the Blackdiamond are out of bolts. I do the only thing I could and scream towards Rimtar to attack! She was startled by the instructions but, like a mother bear, instincts took hold and she bashed the goblin's skull in! She quickly came running towards our safety but another goblin came from its hiding, and snatched the infant again, but again the mayor bashed the green-beasts brains in. It was an amazing feat to see!
The tole of leadership is beginning to drain on me, but I must stay steadfast!
