Expedition Leader's Log
There appears to be a child ghost in the main entrance which I will have taken care of. In similar news, the other ghost's slab says he was crushed by a drawbridge. The ghostly child is put to rest. His slab says he was crushed by a drawbridge too.
I order 23 nest boxes to fill the phoenix room with. Then I order some new bedrooms dug out because we have the beds to fill them. I also order production of coffins to stop because we have plenty.
Its about time that happened. Not all of them went insane, just most. The berserkers will kill everyone and we can kill the berserkers with crossbows. Also this happened:
Then some migrants arrived: 3 hunters (military), an fishery worker/axeman (military), a weaver, a great wood burner/metalsmith, a cheese maker/glass maker, a fishery worker, a farmer/knife user, a cook/crossbowman (military), and some livestock.
OHSHIT A GOBLIN AMBUSH WITH CROSSBOWS
Ok, so who discovered the ambush? They're kinda screwed because at this moment six crossbow bolts are flying at them. Its a hunter, a talented crossbowman, with another hunter nearby. The first hunter, Gir, is unconscious right now and the hammerman is heading for him. He's dead unless the other hunter saves him. Yep, Gir is dead, and now they're going to focus on the other hunter, Aroru. He shoots and misses the hammerman 3 times, then gets hit by a goblin bolt in the hand. Then Aroru shoots the hammmerman point blank in the lower body, throwing him back a few meters! He dodges between four bolts, but a fifth one hits him in the leg. He passes out from the pain and gets killed by the hammerman.I deploy the military. I hope they can cope with this better.
The first two on the scene are the captain of the guard and an axeman. They set the hammerman on fire while blocking everything the crossbowmen can throw at them. But then one bolt gets through the captain's guard and hits him in the chest. He is knocked backward and breaks his neck on the ground. Down but not out, the captain keeps throwing fireballs. Then two bolts hit the axeman in the stomach. He gets back up, vomiting. Most of the goblins are on fire now, but they still keep firing. A recruit takes several bolts to the legs. Another recruit takes a bolt to the lower spine. He'll never walk again. The hammerman dies of blood loss and all the goblins are on fire. The last of the goblins die of blood loss.
The wounded are rescued, the goblin's clothes dumped. And as if we weren't in a bad enough position:
Luckily it can't get to us. It can play with the other FBs I have no intention of freeing. The nest boxes are done so I order them build and lock the door. In a few years we'll have so many phoenixes.
A snatcher is discovered by a child, who is then kidnapped. I send part of the military after in but I fear the child will not be recovered. While the miltary is distracted by a different snatcher, a civilian sets the first snatcher on fire, killing him and freeing the child. Another two snatchers are caught in our cage traps. I'll see what to do with them later. Bait for an FB trap, maybe?
Migrants! A farmer/crossbowman (military), two animal trainers/hunters (military, they have the exact same skills), a clothier (woo), a great weaponsmith/axeman (double woo), a beekeeper, an animal dissector (you are a miner now), an armorsmith, and some animals.
Meanwhile, a giant grasshopper surprised someone and was burned to death. Then an implet got possessed and gathered some wood and stuff for an artifact. I ordered some fortifications cut into the wall of the depot a while ago and they just now got made. I ordered the crossbowmen to shoot all the leftover elves.
The kid made his artifact. It's worth 16800☼ and it has a picture of my artifact on it.
Since we have a ton of cloth from the elven caravan, I order production of clothing to resume. We also now have a real clothier. He will be legendary in no time at all.
The impish caravan arrived. When the liaison met with me, I asked him for wood, ember seeds, phoenixes, singe deer, plaster, and lye. While I was at it I told our woodcutters to clear-cut the entire surface. I bought all the traders' wood and alcohol, but they didn't have any ember seeds. I gave them a huge profit in elven clothing from their caravan.
The captain of the guard is up and about. There are now no imps being treated in the hospital.
The first of many. But why am I doing this? The reason is, I'm going to be making phoenix turrets - small towers with fortifications at the top where you put a phoenix. A well-placed phoenix turret can take out an entire squad of goblins.
