Galena 13, 225We've constructed a ramp so that the marksdwarves can access the shooting ranges more easy. One voidspawn drone advanced a few steps towards the gates.
More voidspawn started to walk towards the gate. Time to open the bridge and release the over 40-dwarf military force!
Turned out there's only 1 squad of them, but a huge one, of lashers. LASHERS! LAASHERS!!
And skilled ones too! Time to quickly get the marksdwarves ready.
I'm currently trying to pull the lever and open the bridge. Now to bring the soldiers!
The first Voidspawn thrall has entered! Killing order is urgent!
The soldiers were currently fighting two Voidspawn. One of them attacked a speardwarf, who is now bleeding.
Galena 14, 225Two Voidspawn corpses are now lying on the grass of Murdermachines. But that's only the start of the fight. There are exactly 13 voidspawn to be killed as of yet.
The killing blows were landed, as it appears, by Peregarrette and, strangely, Saint, even though the marksdwarf squad was a bit late for the fight.
We've spotted a third voidspawn and quickly went to kill it.
That one was killed by the Voidbane Rokenzan, who already had a voidspawn kill. Now it has been made two.
That third voidspawn hasn't landed anything more severe than a bruise on our soldiers.
Now the (voidspawn) squad leader has advanced into battle. Accompanied by a drone, both advanced into the gate in vain (?) enraged, followed by 10 (!) voidspawn thralls, drones and soldiers.
I was surprised by the overly-good functioning of our military. They were just... Hitting the leader and the drone as if they're both dummies! No injuries, just a few bruises. No torn arteries, no vomiting!
Oh no, here comes the pain.
Rokozan, the Voidbane and Mad is not showing consciousness!
If I view the grass, it shows dwarf blood as well as abyssal taint and old gobbo blood.
No, the leader isn't dead yet.
I've ordered the entire militia stationed. Hopefully they'll come instead of drinking booze all the time near the barracks.
The sadness. The madness. The Terry! We have had enough of you, Terry! Better f**k off for now, at least in a situation such as a voidspawn siege!
Stupid masochist dwarves. All those deaths... sadden me.
On the bright side, we've finally managed to kill a fourth Voidspawn.
That's just another baby dwarf who has bled to death here.
No need to worry too much, more soldiers coming now!
Aoshi II, Rocker has been struck down. So the dwarf:voidspawn kill count is 4:5. That means we actually have a chance to win against them. (The 5th voidspawn was killed just recently.)
Maxwell Edison II has been killed as well. Poor dwarves.
Galena 15, 225Wow, those Voidspawn Drones seem so badass, looking at the combat reports of them, I can see almost all text is red, no blue. Barely any blue, only red.
Oh no, Oryx has been struck down! Erush the Pot Thrower and Prosnorkulus III have been killed as well.Tryrar has been struck down as well.
Time to pull the lever, close the drawbridge, let the soldiers in, and let the voidspawn out till it's too late.
After thinking of this, Thaddeus III has been struck down. But one thing made me happy.
A caged voidspawn! Now we will have a much easier time in getting voidspawn into the arena!
Great, now that we've closed the bridge, the only fight is between voidspawn and marksdwarves. How can the former win if they can't even touch the latter?
Oh no, I was proven wrong. Brokenmind the Axedwarf has suffocated. Poor Brokenmind.
:O It turned that there is one unkillable voidspawn soldier at the barracks the remaining soldiers are currently fighting. Tyler Durden has died to it.
Galena 16, 225Rest in peace Chrarbis Sibnirkebon Melist agoth. You will never be missed.
Galena 19, 225I've decided to resort to Plan B. We've had a construction removed and granted the marksdwarves access to previously inaccessible walkways. Now I just hope they'll be able to shoot them to death.
Galena 22, 225All marksdwarves went to station, after a wall was removed by some cowardly child.
Turned out their quivers don't even have bolts inside!
I've tried to get a few new soldiers and have them equipped.
Galena 26, 225Now, all military stationed at the barracks! Just making sure everyone is there.
The first voidspawn thrall has started making its way towards the gate.
And stay dead, abomination!
Another one went in.
What? Mr SpaceCat II has been struck down.
Galena 28, 225And another abomination is dead. Autumn is near. Let's just get the others dead before it's time for the migrant wave and the dwarven traders.
Limestone 1, 225Those drones and soldiers are REALLY badass. So badass they have titles.
Keep up the work, soldiers! There are only 5 voidspawn to kill.
Limestone 2, 225Four, Three voidspawn left! Including their squad leader and some legless thrall.
A lot of unconsious, injured and dead dwarves.
Full hospital.
