I think they were already screwed, they just lost the walls to Vampires and now the depths have been breached as well. Plus the Leader of Windclan is dead...along with most of the Windclan Warriors present here.

There is always option zero, where a dwarf is given a elixer of plump helmet and various creature venoms with some cinnabar and lead. It either give the dwarf four effects.
1) becomes horribly mutanted and kills anything living that it comes into contact with, and changes back into his normal self when his internal rage subsides.
2) really crazy acid trip
3) Cancer
4) Very horrible and painful death

effect 3 and 4 are most likely but 2 could lead to 1

oops my bad, just got this song stuck it my head from Arther, my neise was watching it, All I have in my head is "Dr. Jeckle Jeckle Hyde Jeckle Hyde Hyde Jeckle." and some my buddy offering me a drink that was, but not really, possibly made with lead. But for sure there was pommagrante in it. (I Didn't drink it, he's a little off.)

Edit: Also a freakish dwarven made monster might just end the world, Just saying. On topic that Vampire lord is bad ass, Im just trying to remember what his referance was... O well I'm just so excited to hear from flamebanner and what Hugo has been doing. (pobally looking off a hill sitting in a wooden rocking chair with a his flash of sunshine)

There may be other similar references but the one I'm working from is Their Vampiric Majesties, allies of a small land known as the Icemark.  :D

I hate Vampires

Wheatley's Journal, ?

Everything is calm, No fights, no signs of Goblin movements, not even a single Arena battle to keep us entertained, all we could do is stare off into deep space, makes you wonder what the hell is going on, you could literally stare into deep space until you could see the goddamn void

Meanwhile, the other fortresses ain't so lucky, i peeked into the records without permission and found reports of a fortress called "SpiderThron" being invaded by goblins and kobolds and Those dog-like things and wolves and transforming humans and vampires and grey-hooded things and god-knows-what, if hell existed, it'll be this world, and not down there, unlike what most say

(Sethalkurik) Spiderthorn

The Mining Guild was in no way prepared for the army that swept up from the old tunnels, tearing through several before they could react, though the fight remained one-sided and soon the surviving Miners were forced to fall back, sealing the doors to buy themselves time to sound the alarm while more enemies came up from the depths.

***********

Within the gatehouse, General Kurel was reading the battle reports brought in from the field. His spirits fell more and more as he read until finally he shoved the collection of papers aside and waved over one of the horn-blowers.

"Sound the order to fall back. I want everyone to regroup at the inner gates." Kurel said with a sigh.

"But that will leave the city in enemy hands Sir..." The musician replied in a shocked voice.

"I'm aware of that. This is our best chance of survival though we will still have quite a fight before us.. Give the order." With that Kurel turned and headed for the door.

***************

As the booming notes of the horn echoed across the city the fights raging along the outer defenses broke up as squad captains shouted orders and troops began to retreat off of the walls, pursued by the Undead forces who had once more ascended the walls.

Despite the victories on the walls though, the Goblin and Kobold forces were still unable to get inside due to the continued stubbornness of Iger and his Warriors.

"Make them pay for every inch!" The Riverclan Leader shouted as he slashed his sword across a Minotaur's face, spattering the air with blood as the beast roared in pain. Several of the beasts lay dead before the Dwarven lines among the hundreds of dead Goblins and Kobolds. Still the invaders came though, continuing to charge the dwindling number of Warriors.

As the final group of Crossbowmen and Engineers vanished into the city Iger gave the signal and the squad fell back as one, never taking their eyes from the enemy, who faltered as they found the breach suddenly clear of defenders. Moments later the invaders surged through the breach and set foot on the streets of Spiderthorn...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have officially lost the walls of Spiderthorn and with them most of the city. And the Servants of the Vlagh are still in the depths with who knows what surprises (Hugo, if you know what else is coming then DON'T say a word.  :D)

I might have a good idea of what might happen next. But I'd like to not ruin the suspense (also Im shooting in the dark aswell and eagerly awaiting for updates) Only two random things that could happen is
1) !!Dwarven Science!! gone wrong or in this case !!Horribly FUN!!
2) Steam powered dwarven mech suit that sprays booze and ignites it (like a flamethrower) and has awsome karate chop action (or just bashes things)

option 2 I had acually tried to mod in (managed to make it live and move and stuff but flamethrower failed.)

But you never now, Dwarf McNorris could just single hand-ed win this war only using his third fist hidden in his beard.

Sethalkurik (Spiderthorn)

As the inner gates of Spiderthorn slammed shut and a portcullis fell to shield them the long battle caught up with the battered defenders, many slumping against the nearest wall and surrendering to exhaustion while dozens more were carried into the hospital for treatment.

As they got their troops settled the Captains and Clan Leaders found their way into the Barracks to meet with the General.

******************

"What is the status of our forces?" Kurel asked, staring around the table at each Dwarf.

"Skyclan lost nearly half it's force. Possibly more if the wounded are beyond help." Anriz replied, scrubbing hard at the layers of enemy blood coating her weapons.

"The same is true for Riverclan." Iger reported, slightly muffled by the mug at his lips. "We managed to hold the breach most of the day but we lost more Warriors then we could afford."

"Most of the garrison soldiers are dead, killed during the Stingtail attacks." One of the captains reported. "The survivors have been split among the army squads in order to bolster their numbers."

"My own forces are still largely intact." Shedim said from the far end of the table where she was carefully polishing her arsenal of daggers and knives.

"Our scouting operation was cut off by the Undead army and we were unable to return to the city before they attacked." The Shadowclan Leader continued. "With the odds far out of our favor and little chance of sneaking through an army I decided the best option was to conceal ourselves deeper in the woods and wait for an opportunity."

"That may prove wise, those Warriors could be of great use in the next stage of this battle." Kurel decided after a moment's thought. "The loss of Num and his Warriors is a terrible development but I believe that we have enough soldiers left to hold the inner walls until help can arrive."

"And what help would that be?" Anriz asked. "I can't speak for the others but Skyclan has already sent every soldier it can spare. Any more would weaken our home fortresses too much." Glancing around the table she saw Shedim and Iger nodding in agreement.

"There is another Clan that has yet to send forces." Kurel began before being interrupted by Shedim.

"Did you lose the ability to think out there Kurel?" The Shadowclan Leader said angrily. "Thunderclan has borne a continuous stream of attacks for over 20 years. The last one nearly destroyed the Clan."

"Besides." She continued as the others stared in shock at her. "Even if Fireshield could send Thunderclan Warriors to aid us they would be too late. Flamebanner is at least a week's travel if you move fast and I seriously doubt we'll be able to stand against that horde outside for more then a day or two longer."

"And this has nothing to do with the rivalry between you and Fireheart?" Iger said suspiciously. "We all know that you were quite pleased when Helmthundered fell and Fireheart was forced to flee back to the capital."

Shedim shook her head as she replied. "No...I judged him too harshly. It seemed an insult to Armok that he was Leader of Thunderclan but not a Warrior. When word of Helmthundered reached me I took it as a further sign of Armok's anger."

"He proved himself worthy of both his leadership and my respect in the end though. He gave up all his lives in order to save a single Dwarf, Kanet, who became Fireshield. Without that sacrifice Thunderclan might have been lost by now." With that Shedim returned her attention to her weapons.

"...Ok." Kurel said slowly. "Now that that is over we need to decide how best to defend this place..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For some reason I couldn't resist that Fireheart related section...May or may not be good as I'm nearly asleep where I type but I'm sure someone will mention it if it's bad  :D

Awww, I would have loved to see pictures of the city falling to enemies. Give us an idea of the scope of the bloody street-by-street, block-by-block battle...Though it is exciting nonetheless.

Who says I won't? I still have a trick or two here  ;D

One thing I will tell you is this: You seem to have forgotten that the Servants of the Vlagh are currently in the depths of the fortress.

Pictures are of course not going to happen since there is no actual game to go with this...Unless Hugo decides to do something.

Hmm... I was trying to draw some epic pictures of a view from the wall over looking the army marching to the gates with massive seige engines. But I just can't get a rough sketch that appeals to my perfectionism. But maybe a battle wrought city could be a nicer warm up. Also I detest the Servents of that called Vlagh sneaky little bastards

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

IT'S NOT THAT DAMN HARD

Altho that game does render an impressive battle simulation, I would say I don't think those are gobblins/undead/vampires/Hell-Hounds/Werewolf-Human-Animal-Trainer and Co/Stingtails and those are not dwarves. But I see your point as that is a very good reference. And I may just use it.
