Just desserts
« on: February 05, 2009, 10:04:24 pm »
I had a siege, 4 squads (16 goblins each).  I noticed that two of the squads were led by pointy-eared goblins who were local leaders, so I decided maybe I shouldn't kill those two.  Leaders lead they soldiers into battle, so it was easy enough to set up a few cage traps and catch just the leaders, killing everybody else.  One of the squads got away though, because I'd forgotten about it.

After the battle, I built the two cage traps for the local leaders, and surrounded them with a large refuse stockpile containing 46 goblin corpses.  No matter which way the elves look, they'll be seeing their rotting followers.

Then I'll release them so they can bring me another iron caravan.

Make sure to take their eyelids so they can't just close their eyes.

They can close their eyes, but they can't plug up their noses.

My doctor said miasma!

Everyone knows elves breath through their asses. Spiracles, I tell you. Spiracles!

Whatever it is, I made sure they could smell everything on their long trip home.  Stripped them naked, except for their socks, and dumped them over my wall.  Hopefully they'll return next year.

"Are they going to serve drinks?"

"They didn't last year."

I think this is not true - at least human nose stops detecting smells prety quickly. If you stand in front of cake, you can smell it. But after few minutes, you can not smell it even when your head is directly above it. I believe it is defence mechanism - so even if you are flowerfield, you could find smelly enemies.

They do!  Snodub Crumbledfiend the Humid Ropes (elf hammer lord) and Song Benthates the Momentous Grief (elf master lasher) have shown up.  They're clothed, but they don't appear to have replaced the weapons and armor I took off them.  I guess they want them back?  I wonder which bars of steel came from their gear, and which came from their dead followers' gear.

Alisa Dimpledivy the Bog of Wisps (guard) also is back.  He bravely ran away last time.
