Stuff got real in Canyontalon this year. The griffons received two discordant pony sieges, both of which were repelled with minimal fuss. There were no injuries in the first at all.
The second siege was an interesting change of pace. Caving to complaints from first and third company that they never get to face the enemy anymore, the swordsgriffons and halberdiers were loosed upon the invaders under the covering fire of second company's bows. The enemies fell quickly enough, failing to land even a single blow against the well trained griffons. Yet when all was said and done, four griffons laid out in the bloody grass with broken bones and serious bruises. The slain tank bulls and cows fell upon the soldiers in their deaths, injuring them in the process.
Actually, they were being assaulted by shoes, shirts and mutilated corpses, which I figure is the riders falling on them? 
The soldiers were quickly taken to the hospital where doctor Royov treated them without any permanent injuries.
Then more screams came from the surface. One of the furnace operators, Anna Putin, was ambushed by a wereanteater. She tried to evade the monster, but was too slow. It bit and maimed her rear legs before private Serge Dyatlov arrived to behead it. She was rushed to the hospital where she barely survived. But major Rykov worries about what will become of those who are bitten by a were creature.
I assume she'll turn eventually, which should be interesting. Kind of irritating that she survived in that case, but her three kids were in the hospital room with her while she was being treated, so I had to root for her!In the chaos of it all, private Zhirov passed away from age related causes. Perhaps the excitement of personal combat again at such an advanced age was too much for the poor griffon.
