A farmer and hauler had wandered outside the town walls to clear andesite from an old tunnel. On their way they stumbled upon a goblin raiding party. They stood their ground, but were soon cut down. The Fighters assembled at the gate and met the invaders at close range. In the aftermath, the recruits realized their leader, Reg, had been pinned to the ground by an arrow. He was taken to bed with an injured spine.
Weeks later, a young Fishers Guild member commemorated the battle with an exquisite set of turtleshell leggings.
-A new arrival-
Nish: Who is that fellow with the hat? He arrived by himself at our gate today.
Boksi: A Dungeon Master, royal keeper of beasts. Look at him go, sniffing about our halls.
-The Dungeon Master makes a round of the city, grumbling to himself. He stops at the Trappers Guild and his eyes light up-
Mosus: Ah, I see there is something of worth in this dismal town after all! Right then, here are my diagrams for my chambers and cells. See to it that the eagle and grizzly are chained next to my throne.
Nil: Let the eagle out of its cage?! It will peck out my eyes!
Mosus: Then I'll move it myself, as I fear no beast.
-a Glassmaker runs up to the group-
Ineth: Behold, I've created the green glass scepter Sefolison!
Mosus: Ah, very nice. I'll be sure to place it next to my throne.
-He grabs the scepter and leaves-
Ineth: What nerve! Who does he think he is?
Boksi: A Nobel, and I'm afraid he won't be the last. Lets get to work on his demands before he starts raiding my wine.
Another raid is foiled by the Tacticians, resulting in an injured marksdwarf.
In late winter yet another raid is stopped at the gates. The goblins bring a human mercenary this time, who hammers the Fighter Lorbam across the field, killing him instantly.
Other news:
Nish, Nil, and Nutsy have been spending a lot of time in the sewers lately; clearing tower caps, paving the waterways, and designing an automated pump system. If you want running water in your guild now would be a good time to ask for it.
