The rest of the marksdwarf squad, however, apparently forgot their crossbows or something, as they're just standing there looking confused.  Fortunately for out wood burner, the single marksdwarf managed to fend off the entire squad, killing two beak dogs and wounding many others before running out af ammo shooting at the fleeing goblins.

Meanwhile, another group of goblins has been sighted gawking at the abbey.  Hopefully our wood burner will get over his fear of goblins enough to run past the wounded ones and through the gate.

13th Limestone, 1069:

The third group of goblins is still approaching from the southeast, and is expected to come into the range of our patrolling marksdwarf squad sometime in the middle of next month.

14th Limestone, 1069:

Mestthos Ragĺblel Shukaregen got tired of waiting for the second group of goblins and charged out to meet them with his squad of champians.




Results were messy.





One goblin was punted from the battle field nearly all the way across the river.




As the goblins fled, some of the champions became exasperated and began to throw their beak dogs through the air after them.



Meanwhile, the third group of goblins continued their march.

Their assault was short lived.

16th Limestone, 1069:

Overall, the battle was a decisive victory.  The goblins were routed without a single loss of dwarven life, or even a single loss of livestock.  Moreover, there weren't even any injuries.  I think this calls for some sort of celebration, and perhaps a minor monument.

We've made some improvements to the depot area.  Visiting merchants should no longer believe we live in some dirty hole in the ground.

9th Sandstone, 1069:

We've very nearly run out of salt with which to build!  Some new digging has been designated to compensate.

Hmm, looks unstable to me, where are the supports?!

Good job I know nothing about mining really.


/still feels obliged to leave pillars behind.

the physics of Dwarf fortress are so unrealistic they make Einstein turn in his grave.
essentially, you could have a one tile wide support system to an entire fortress of infinite size with ease.

[Keldor]

Bah, ye humans just don't be understandin' the strength of good dwarven masonry!

Bumping for updates to the Eternal Turn.

[Keldor]

I'm still alive, I'm just focusing on finishing my Halltraded turn, which is even more eternal...

Almost there, you can doooo iiiit.

Work on the monument to the casualty-free siege came to a standstill today when one of our best miners took apart the scaffolding from the wrong side.
