24th Limestone
3 days after the battle Sir Nil knocked on the door to Fireheart's office and entered. He could see Fireheart behind a stack of papers that he pushed to the side as Nil approached. "Well Nil." He said after a moment. "How bad was it?" "Our injuries are healing well. Hawkfrost's sister Mothwing has turned the Barracks into a hospital and is making great progress. Wok is already walking the halls again and Iton and Speardwarf's are healing quickly. Vabok is still suffering from his broken arm. Hawkfrost is still out cold though. We can tell she is alive but she's uncouncious." Nil reported.
"At the moment the Merchants with pack animals are still slowly returning. They managed to escape the fighting. The wagon drivers and all the Guards we've found were dead but we're still searching the wreckage of the wagons for survivors."
"What is the current deathtoll?" Fireheart asked. "7 Horses, 1 Marksdwarf, 2 Sworddwarves, 1 Axedwarf, 1 Speardwarf, 1 Hammerdwarf and 1 Merchant." Nil replied. Nodding Fireheart gave his orders. "Go tell Mothwing to take whatever she needs for our Warriors, the stockpiles are at her service. Then return to the search and let me know the moment anyone turns up alive." "Yes Fireheart." Nil said as he turned to go.
"One more thing." Nil said as he reached the door. "Most of our weapons and armor were torn up in that battle. We should have Sarek and Zaneg forge new equipment." "You're Deputy Nil, find Sarek and get what you need made."

A collection of broken limbs, several heavy wounds and a caravan almost wiped out by one Dwarf. I'm just glad the Liason was downstairs where it was safer. We need him.
I am planning to reforge everyones armor and weapons. This was a bad fight and now that we have Legendary Armorsmiths and Weaponsmiths I think it is important. Esspecially with all the Iron we have now.
Hawkfrost if its appealing to you I'd like to give your Dwarf the artifact Axe and if anybody wants the artifact Greaves let me know. If you want to carry 2 weapons instead of 1 weapon and shield then now is the time to say so as well.
Enjoy the story.
