Maybe we need some more defense around the sand pit.  We keep losing people that way

I don't know, I think we're doing rather well for being 7 years old. I do have some plans for that though.

[Heron TSG]

or we could just cover it in drawbridges to THROW them away from the pit.

[LegoLord]

It's really 7 years old?  Wow, it's just about as old as Libash Tobat.  And you had a dwarf in both of them.  Weird.

[thunderclan]

I stopped world gen in year 2 and its now year 9

[Heron TSG]

bump! or should I say... bump!

[thunderclan]

The start of the battle. And the realization of a serious hole in our defenses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
20th Limestone

As the armor covered leader swung his axe at his head Tirist ducked away and sped off toward the gates to warn the fortress.

Iton leaned against the wall while he loaded his crossbow. As he watched the road he saw Tirist trampling the brush as he came out of the trees, fear plain on his face. Knowing that invaders must be attacking he raised his crossbow and launched a bolt at the alarm bell, sending civilians running for the safety of the fortress and bringing Hawkfrost and Sir Nil running over from the Depot.

With the 2 experienced Warriors behind him Iton started along the wall in the direction of the sand pit. As they came into the clearing near the pit they saw the Goblins slashing through the undergrowth, no doubt looking for Tirist. Taking aim he fired a bolt at the nearest Wrestler. The Goblin let out a screech as the bolt bit deep into his side.

As the Goblins turned to face the Warriors Hawkfrost and Sir Nil drew their weapons and prepared to fight. Without pausing for a warcry Hawkfrost charged toward the leader, her axe gleaming in the light. Her swing hit the armor and glanced off not even leaving a dent in the iron plate. In the momentary confusion of fighting a Goblin with decent armor she took an armored fist to the jaw, sending her staggering back a few paces. Regaining her composure she brought her axe down on the Goblin's shield twisting around to smack his helmet with the handle as she dodged the counterattack.

Meanwhile Sir Nil was smacking pincushioned Goblins into the trees and the unlucky Swordgob into a pond where she sank unconciously underwater. Raising his shield to stop the blow of the second Axegob he swung his hammer at the Goblin's legs, being rewarded with a loud crunch as its legs snapped under the force. The doomed Goblin swung again as it fell, axe sticking deep into Sir Nil's right upper leg.

Hating himself for having to leave battle but knowing he wasn't any use with blood pulsing from his leg. Raising his hammer to catch Iton's eye he pointed toward the gates. Seeing Iton nod Nil started limping back toward the gatehouse while Iton turned to help Hawkfrost...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats almost one group done. There have been 3 so far though so I have plenty more work to do before this battle is over. Comments and such are welcome as always.

[muwahahaha]

Soo, where the hell is the rest of the military? Its just those three fighting?

[Heron TSG]

Obviously speardwarf is busy killing the goblins on the other side of the future.

[thunderclan]

Sleeping and Drinking. And its only Hawkfrost and Iton fighting since Nil headed inside.

Hawkfrost and Iton seem to be holding their own nicely anyway.

[Hawkfrost]

I was worried for a second there...

What is her skills at now?

[thunderclan]

The important ones are Shield User, Armor User, Legendary Wrestler and Competent Axedwarf.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
20th Limestone: Continued

Iton saw that Hawkfrost was faring well against the Axegob Leader. Several cracks had formed on his armor and he could see blood seeping through as Hawkfrost spun to dodge another blow.

Bringing her axe down on the Goblin's foot she heard the foul creature's howl of pain as several toes seperated from the rest of it's foot. She was to slow to avoid the next blow which tore through her greaves but stopped before it went too deep into flesh.

As Iton tried to get a clear shot at the Axegob he heard more cries rising from the bushes as 6 Wrestlers charged out to join the battle. Seeing the newcomers Hawkfrost swung the flat of her axe at the Goblin's helm and smiled as the Goblin sank to his knees before she turned to the Wrestlers.

These Wrestlers were quick and Iton was having a tough time causing anything more then scratches with his bolts as they charged the 2 Warriors. Hefting her axe Hawkfrost charged the tight group, axe reaching out to slice through arms and legs and the occasional head. Within moments 5 Wrestlers lay delimbed or decapitated around her.

The final Wrestler had broken off and charged Iton. Reaching into his quiver he had encounted nothing but air and he realized he was out of bolts. Remembering his training sessions with Sir Nil he flipped his crossbow around and as the Wrestler jumped at him brought it down on the Goblin's head, the crunch of breaking bone sending the Goblin into death.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this may be the longest battle I've ever had to chronicle. Another part coming soon.

And Hawkfrost, Don't think your battle is finished yet...

[Heron TSG]

tore through her greaves

which stopped the blade before it went to deep into flesh.

other than this, i like your writing! sounds pretty epic.

[thunderclan]

Can't have great writing every time. Esspecially when its just Goblins.

Glad to hear you guys aren't bored with my writing though.

Third part of the battle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Busy wiping the blood off her axe Hawkfrost didn't notice the blade swinging at her until it smashed into her back. Rolling as she hit the ground Hawkfrost saw the Axegob Leader, eyes red through his helmet and blood dripping from his axe. Glancing past him Hawkfrost saw Iton splayed on the ground.

With a horrible yell the Axegob brought it's axe down on Hawkfrost who rolled to her feet as the blade bit into the ground. Raising her own blade she smashed it down onto the Goblin's arm with a satisfying crunch. She could see the Goblin wince with the pain but a second later she was forced to duck under a horizontal slice aimed at her head. Ducking low she sent her axe flying toward the Goblin's legs  where it glanced off the armor before she was kicked in the side with an ironclad foot.

As Hawkfrost rose to her feet and watched the Goblin charge her her mind was working desperatly to figure out a way to breach the brute's armor. As she raised her axe to meet the Goblin's blow an explosion rocked the ground and sent her staggering backwards raising her shield to block the razor sharp bits of iron that rained down.

After the rain stopped she lowered her shield to see Iton standing several yards from where she had last seen him, clutching a quiver in 1 hand and his crossbow in the other with a trail of smoke leading from it to the Axegob who lay surrounded by metal that had been blown off his armor.

Apparently he wasn't done yet though as he rose to his feet and hefted his axe again as he glared at Iton. Not giving the insane Goblin a chance to move Hawkfrost swung her axe hard at the ragged hole blown in the back of the Goblin's armor. The pained flailings og the Goblin tore the handle from Hawkfrost's grip. Seeing Iton loading another bolt in his crossbow Hawkfrost raised her shield.

As the Goblin got closer Iton pulled the trigger on his crossbow and sent a bolt flying. As soon as it stuck into the Goblin's flesh Iton poured every ounce of his strength into the bolt causing another explosion before ducking behind his own shield as bits of iron and Goblin fell. When the dust cleared Hawkfrost and Iton could see nothing but a small crater where the Axegob had stood. The only thing left was his axe, gems glinting evily in the light as the Warriors headed back to the gates.
**************
21st Limestone

Snodub couldn't believe his luck. For years Goblins had been trying to breach the gates of Flamebanner and here he'd found the back door. He could hear the drunken singing of the merchants in the Depot below as He and his men swung their grapples.
**************
None of the Warriors or civilians were expecting to hear the cry that rose late in the day. "The walls have been breached!!"

As Dwarve rushed outside they stopped short. Every single Dwarf there knew the Goblin who stood beside the Depot where the merchants cowered. Snodub Stophatred was known throughout the world as a mercenary who had been key in the downfall of several major Dwarf fortresses and Human cities. He was a master with the pike and incredibly sneaky. As the Dwarves watched several more Goblins appeared on top of the wall. 2 Wrestlers and 3 Macegobs...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we have a Pikemaster and his men inside/on top of the walls. Apparently I didn't notice that the wall is still connected to land meaning that anyone can walk right onto it. Have to fix that once these Invaders are dead.

Also the kill count for the last fights were:

Sir Nil: 4
Hawkfrost: 7
Iton: 1

Hope you guys enjoy reading this. 

[Hawkfrost]

Nice!

What kind of axe did he drop?
