What? These goblins are casting fire spells as if they were elves! They just kinda spray it all over the field and even burn themselves half the time, but this is to be expected from goblin brutes. Were the goblins allied with the elven gods? Or had the demon that these goblins worship saw an opportunity to kill Armok's worshippers by granting the gift of fire magic to the goblins?
Who knows? There was no time to think. Akhier charged straight into the swirling inferno that these goblins spewed. He killed many a goblin, but alas, he was burned alive inside his steel armor before he could kill the last few goblins in the squad. And so another of our mightiest champions is laid low in a matter of moments.
MadMonkey24 bravely charges forth from his position guarding the temple entrance. He screamed a terrible scream as he charged forward and slew the rest of the goblin squad with his artifact demon sword. This fine blade cut down the remainder of the horde, but not before the goblins had burned the bridge back into Blockedlance. MadMonkey stared at Jazz as he stood on the other side of the empty outer moat. MadMonkey would have to trek around the fortress to the Eastern Gate. Jazz would meet him there, and they would hold back the rest of the goblins.
But wait....whats this?
When carving the outer moat and tearing down the old wooden palisade wall, our dwarves have left quite the chink in our armor. Through this tiny gap, the goblins can get to a ledge that leads all the way down the side of the moat and directly to the front entrance, where our entire fortress is doing the entrance-dance. Horrors!!! Everyone will die!
Jazz and MadMonkey rush to the entrance, and the Stonecutters are immediately ordered to seal the breach. Will they be in time?!?!
Find out next time as we continue our chronicles of the madness of dwarves!!!
To be continued...
