A decade of siege. 8 dead necromancers, 3 captured. 233 undead linked to one cage, more captured corpses are to be placed. Their numbers can be increased with the possible harvesting of the raven stockpile. Zero Justifying Dwarven casualties.
Go home Necros, this Fortress will never break.
______________________________________________________
Silentthunders's had a decade of war now! Just killed off a fresh new wave of undead elf corpses. The siege still continues. I'm still hoping on one last final great siege with all the tower's necromancers in plain view, so that it can all finally come to an end one way or another. The last attack had 51 Elf corpses, the least powerful of them yet. As they increase in frequency, so too does the scale of the attack decrease. Has my local tower exhausted its Elfpower, and are these the few stragglers moping their way to their second deaths, or the precursor to a tempest?
Where are the rest of my Necromancers? They nearly overran my Fortress with just three, and yet they have wasted 6 trying to sneak in. What's worse is that the decade of no trade has really impacted the Fort hard. Where booze stocks once sat at 11,000, now they lie at just above 5400.
On another note, do necromancer sieges also block access for other sieges, namely that of goblins? Because before the rotten Elf corpses showed up there were goblin ambushes and kobold thieves - now, only silence.
I imagine along with the caravans, my Fortress has become isolated from the world, surrounded by Elf corpses. Without their Necromancer masters to guide them, they merely infest the forests, waiting until hunger drives them to feast on merchants, siegers, thieves and Dwarves, fleeing away from the occasional rampaging Megabeast.
