Drive away? Drive what away?
Nice shot, from two z-levels and one and a half screen away.
Edit; Oh lordy. Veilurns's second siege has arrived; a vile force of turdburglars. 17 Crossbowgoblins, 15 Macegoblins, a macelord, an elite Bowgoblin and a master lasher. Makes me wish I had set up something humorous with the caged Cyclope I still have.
They are accompanied by 8 trolls; Nako, Ago, Dostngosp, Olngo, Olngo, Dostngosp, Ngokang and Stozu. Gosh jinkies.
They'd already killed a bunch of animals before the first Dwarf kill; Id Edimlogem. I'd recruited him in an auxiliary crossbow squad just moments before but due to me giving a wrong order he got eviscerated with projectiles, but luckily the first hit was in his brain.
Now
Endok Isholtar of one of my melee squads went in a martial trance
without a weapon. He took four pages of bolts thudding into him before one of them hit his brain. He wounded one goblin. A goblin caught in a cage trap but my melee Dwarfs advance too far; they face them in front of the cage traps.
Nako Kutsmobatog felt Meng Oltartaron's silver maul on its brain and decided it did not want to repeat the experience.
Zaneg Besmarustuth, Macedwarf, who had been pummeling Nako with his bronze morningstar was shot dead. Kutsmob Matouspra speared in the head and killed. The slayer Olin Amostrifot who is indefatigable, mighty and agile was shot in a lung a moment after. The Goblin Macelord Bosa Logusnamoz dodges a wounded war dog's snapping jabs and falls into the river. Osa Umastasost was punched in the brain and died. Meng Oltartaron is wouned among four goblins and is sustaining incredible wounds and is enraged but he won't make it for long. The brainpuncher Solon Uznil has no armour, weapon or shield but has jumped in among the goblins to help Meng Oltartaron. Solon causes a Goblin to fall in a minor ditch, presumably to no ill effect. Solon is hit by one of a cloud of bolts and falls the same way. The war dog who made the Mace Lord swim bled to death. Many bolts were exchanged, wounding on both sides. The Goblin master lasher is still whipping away on Meng's bronze helm. For about nine pages now. Ngebzo Xuspgasolox is relieved of a heavy burden; both leg and head. More animals bleed to death but for a Yak BUll who has been riddled with bolts for eightteen pages and only has a single hoof left which isn't wounded. The recruit
Udil Idustuth was shot. Meng Oltartaron is still being wailed on, now with a copper crossbow to the head. Militia Captain of Squad B, The Roots of Gravel , Ustuth Thaturmorul Etomroldeth Takuth has killed Smunstu Emsposmo the Crossbowgoblin with her dagger. The Yak bull has suffocated; its wounds must have pierced the lungs.
Solon Uznil has been shot and killed. The Goblin Mace Lord has drowned. The Master Lasher and a second Corssbowgoblin were caged. So were trolls Ago and Olngo. The Axedwarf
Bomrek Morulnimak was knocked unconscious atop a weapon trap with silver spears which eventually killed him. The Mayor Stodir Alathatol who was supposed to lead the emergency crossbowsquad D; (accidentally posted) The Clasps of Air, charged an intruder without bringing a weapon or armour. One of the silver spear weapon traps brained a Crossbowgoblin. Another Goblin was repelled by a similar trap and fell onto a hammerdwarf who promptly delivered a beating. The mayor is shot in the lung and ish having trouble breating. Usbu Snodublobok, who fell on the hammerdwarf, is hammerd on its brain. Another Goblin falls on the corpse.
So far; fifteen of the Crossbowgoblins have perished; the Mace Lord has died, the Elite Bowman is no more, two Trolls were caught,two Crossbowgoblins were imprisoned and the Master Lasher is caged. Left are seven Crossbowgoblins (more than at the start, therefore), fourteen Goblin Macemen and six trolls. Eight Dwarfs have gone to feast in Armok's Halls.
Another Crossbow caught and two others perished. Others died; two free Crossbowgoblins remain, time to redirect forces to catch the trolls loitering near the fishing zone and then onto the macegoblins who have so far only glared at a bunch of weapon traps which inflicted minimal damage. One of the remaining two fled, the other was unconscious and executed with an axe to the head. Both melee militia captains of Veilurns need to rest, as does the mayor. The hospital will be overcrowded. Trolls led by one of the Dostngosps destroy a useless floor hatch which really only covered stairs into a single z-level pond of 7/7 water. The other Dostngosp suffers from a rare and debilitating disease called "bolt in brain" and has left this field of sorrows.
Checking the river I notice two more Goblin corpses in it; the Elite Bowgoblin and a macegoblin. Currently marshalling the melee forces to march onto the macegoblins while the crossbowsquads hold station atop my walls, hopefully shooting Trolls and Goblins alike. Goblin maceman Smuntsu Oslotstatost had been knocked unconscious by bolts when he or she followed a stray Dwarf and was now executed; decapitated by Atir Sokansolon's axe. This is Atir's fourth notable kill.
My remaining melee Dwarfs (barring those in hospital) advance on the macegoblins causing some of their number to break loose from the rest and attack. My Dwarfs ignore my order and charge onward. Atir Sokansolon is the first to engage but soon finds herself stunned. They smack her head with their maces and she loses hold of her shield and axe. Poorly equipped recruit
Dumat Logemrul becomes axedwarf for a moment before his skull is laid open with an iron morningstar; he perishes. His only notable kill had been Nomar Gillbeaches the Forgotten Beast.
Edzul Amaldishmab has been struck down moments after he became speardwarf. Feb Ducimgebar, unbelievably strong and tough Recruit grows unhappy; Edzul was her husband.
Feb Ducimgebar is struck down. Normally i try to entomb spouses together in one chamber but I couldn't at this time. Wrestler
Ineth Lorzon was struck down.
Atir Sokansolon was struck down. Five of the remaining seventeen melee Dwarfs were killed; the rest retreats. Only one of the Macegoblins was slain in this clash.
Mosus Elralrilbet the Speardwarf is fleeing four macegoblins; was struck down.
Urist Gidthurulon of squad D was struck down. Another troll was caged.
Seven Dwarfs in hospital, only two on beds. An eight one was wounded elsewhere. Ushrir Koganrithzam the Speardwarf has knocked one of her two assailants unconscious and shatters his, Zolak Zanbax, skull thrice before tearing the brain. He then bites Aslot Straluukos in the arm. He and Shorast Lesastdoren kill Aslot. The melee squad retreat back into the fortress where trolls still lumber near. A weapon trap with a twohanded sword removes Osta Deloosta's right arm in its enitrety.
A hammerdwarf of the c-squad, the reserve, was assailed by multiple goblins and his movements caused a goblin to fall into the river. My war Gorlak
Kadol Ralzefon pet of Bomrek Asenzurol, the planter who killed a gremlin, is now also in the fight and seems to be losing.
Eshttan Astthimsur was struck down. Kadol Ralzefon the War Gorlak has bled to death.
Someone's pet war dog died.
Ushrir Koganrithzam is dying. Recruit
Deduk Deleram was murdered.
Vucar Asrutod is no more. The macegoblins have done more damage than the cossbow-bearing ones. Two macegoblins and four trolls remain.
Sodel Gusilsokan and Fath Oglogem dead. Zom Stosbublago has gotten a longer name; Zom Stosbublago Nozzuttosmston Unu. I've deleted all my pastures because they were pasturing animals instead of doing USEFUL stuff. Zom tried to kill yet another marksdwarf but my militia Captain Ustuth Scribepadged the Sacrificial Anguish of Chasms kills him before he could. Twelfth notable kill. Ustuth HAD been hospitalized, indeed, but the wounds healed on their own accord and now she saved a fellow Dwarf. One Goblin and four trolls left. The last goblin died. At the bottom of a small pool but cause of death unknown.
Zasit Nokoroslan suffocated, so Zom DID get that last kill.
Ustuth kills trolls Stozu and Dtostngosp. Ngokang falls to her blade later. All other squads are stood down and she is the only one of the four left of her squad who is still about. Legendary. Olngo is defooted and will soon perish. Victory. VEILURNS STILL HOLDS.
I just noticed that Feb and Edzul had a child.Of eight years old.
