[Argonnek]

I thought that they all melted upon entering your territory.

[thunderclan]

I turned that off because it seemed to be cauing problems with the siege tag not going away. Plenty of melted Goblins but after a season that tag was still there so I decided to save scum.

The ambushes are no problem though, the civilians have been soundly thrashing the ones that avoid the border cages. If we have another round of seemingly unbeatable sieges I'll likely reactivate it.

[thunderclan]

Whatever was screwy with Goblins seems to be gone now as we recently demolished a 5 squad siege without anything more then scratches. Also, the HAMMERER is proving useful! He has found a hobby in teaching Kobolds to fly. The thieves seem unwilling to learn though...

[thunderclan]

Interesting thing I noticed about Kanet after the latest Goblin siege. He spent 5 years living on the fame from killing a Titan then spent the next 5 killing everything he could (117 things to date to be exact) Maybe he needed some new stories to tell 

Also, I believe the Summer of Blood and Chaos phase of the story is nearly over. I think we will be a functioning fortress again by Spring of 26 (About 2 seasons from now). Provided the Mountain Goats leave us be. They keep scaring the civilians, kind of irritating really.

Finally, I just realized I forgot we had an Armorer. He's been fighting as a Warrior for a while now and I never realized. I thought it was strange he didn't have a squad...or a weapon...or any armor. He is now an Expert Wrestler with 29 kills. If I didn't need him to make more armor I'd probably put him into full-time training.

[Dermonster]

Hey, could you test if i can go against an ambush or siege alone and come out on top?

Works: Write it up as a rite of ascension or something.

Doesn't work: Save scum and forget about it.

Just kinda curious.

[thunderclan]

Goblins or Undead? I'm rather curious about that myself actually.

[Dermonster]

Hmm... Do both?

I will flip a coin.

Heads goblins, tails undead.

Heads.

[thunderclan]

Goblins it is!

I think I'm going to say this: If Derek actually survives such an encounter I'm going to provide him with one of the artifact beds and one of the artifact statues in his new quarters.

Yes, new quarters! I decided to make some new rooms for our surviving Senior Warriors. That is the mysterious mining going on that Argonnek reported to Kanet about.

[Dermonster]

Don't I already have an artifact statue?

WOO DOUBLE EPIC STATUE TIME.

[thunderclan]

No, you HAD an artifact statue. I moved it in an attempt to halt what became the nearly fortress-ending tantrum spiral.

And now the fortress has no built furniture items so you still have no artifact statue.

This is still alive and I hadn't noticed! Awesome job on these last few updates.
My second dwarf is dead, noooooo. So, I'd like to claim that armourer/wrestler, called "Zimesh Bunsoth" (Phantom God-Forsaken in dwarfish). He could be some sort of sneaky/shady character who grumbles about bad omens as he works.

[thunderclan]

I can do that. After I finish having him make lots of armor do you want him in full-time Warrior training?

[sir diesalot]

Yesh please Thunderclan, I think we could do with the warriors at the moment.

[thunderclan]

OK, just a head-up for you guys that I'm putting updates on hold until after the holidays (at least until after Christmas) as I just don't have the time to sit and type out anything decent right now.

Play will continue though so once updates resume we should be fairly well recovered from the Great Tantrum.

[thunderclan]

In case anyone cares there is another tale I've written over here: http://ghostmaster.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fanfiction&action=display&thread=2676

I'm planning to try for an update after Christmas, though it may be pushed back depending on how things go around here.
