Seasonal Review Spring
Probably best to start with the siege.
As far as invading armies go it wasn’t that impressive. Around 20 in all ,3 goblins with crossbows and a bowelf leading the charge. A little over half of them aren’t even armed. Two blundered into cleverly placed cage traps right away.
Thinking quickly I belayed the order to shut the fortress and ordered the militia to meet the enemy inside the eastern gate
Two more stumbled into the traps that block off the eastern drawridge, four got inside the gates and with the drawbridge about to slam shut they were separated from the others. That part of the plan worked but the milita had yet to arrive so our ambush was actually just leaving unattended bait.
Givesnofuck, a dwarf noted for his phlegmatic nature in response to adversity witnessed the perimeter breach and a charging goblin spearman casually walked around the corner of a building leading the invader into yet another well placed trap.
When sibrek came running one of the remaining three had the good sense to bolt. The unarmed goblin ran into the pastures hoping to hide. The others probably wished they had. Sibrek was a real terror, batting away incoming mace blow and hacking the goblin to ribbons.
The goblin’s head went flying off and probably scared the hell out of the unarmed goblin who ran.
Sibrek really got in the zone around the time Thunk showed up with a war dogand at that point it just wasn’t fair. The gate finally closed at this point but just before it did a single iron bolt pierced the dogs heart, it died biting at goblin ankles.
With 7 captures and 4 kills the goblin force was weakened, they had no choice but to follow the moat north to try and scale the bridge.
2 wrestlers and 2 axegoblins under the command of Ngsulu Sinfulsculpted
And 5 wrestlers under the elf Amxu Terrorgrowls As they marched the elf’s group got out ahead and sensing an advantage I opened the eastern gate again and sent the militia to chase them. The all goblin squad was slaughtered, their blood forming puddles in the moat.
The elf realized he was beat and lead his group in a hasty retreat. One of the rookie axedwarves, Shorast Boltveiled didn’t quite block a Warhammer and got his right arm broken for the effort. Luckily Thunk was there, he split the goblin’s head right down the middle before it could do any more damage. I ordered them to leave him there and chase down the remain invaders, I want no reports getting back to their leaders about our defenses.
With a force of five unarmed goblins to support him the Elf fled into the forest. He turned once to shoot a an arrow back at our troops, Thunk, Big Sibrek, Metalhead, and Techno were all standing in a line, they dodged it one after the other and that seemed to be enough to discourage him from trying again. It didn’t matter, they caught up with him and did what they do best.
With that settled the season went smoothly.
Operation “Let God Sort them Out” is going swimmingly, we’re producing a steady stream of egg, flour, and seed based prepared meals The stream is so steady that our unsteady labor can’t manage it and some of it’s rotting producing horrible miasma, it’s fine our numbers are still trending upward.
The elves showed up to trade. In a feat of genius, determination, and sheer dwarvenity we managed to get all of our stock to the depot. We traded 0 ANYTHING because they stood around insisting they had more to unpack, I waited for them night and day until finally they left without a word. Is this some sort of elf joke? I’m glad elves aren’t dwarves because if they were then we would suck.
20 in all, with a 36% increase in hauling operation Let God Sort Them Out is going to become much more productive. We hadn’t quite cleaned up the siege and one of them, Led Metalabbey was horrified to discover that there was still an arm in a pile of goblin armor. Baby.
We’re well into refurbishing the weapon traps, the serrated steel blades and silver balls
To improve morale I and present the new migrants with symbols of our legitimacy I ordered the tower floored. I also ordered a small art project to recognize my contributions to Breadbowl
and cement my status as czar for life.
It was so effective that I started another art project to put an identical K in my office.
It only looks larger because of the way the light is hitting it and reflecting back into your eyes to create an accurate image. It’s totally necessary and only used bismuth bronze which was languishing in the stockpiles. Basically it would have been less efficient to NOT make a giant K in my office.
