Cog the Glassguy is atop the tower with Nirur
Nirur Makes it to the top of the tower
Cheddar is awoken by the howling and rushes out to battle, but it takes precious seconds to arm himself.
Cog the fisher is scratched by the claws of the werewolf as one of its arms breaches the door. it is quickly becoming tatters. He gets low, and bars the door, buying himself a second or two. The Wolfman looks the hole with one eye and sees cog pushing his bed to reinforce the door. The Wolfman seizes the door with both hands and rips it apart. Cig jumps off the bed and pulls himself into the attic. The wolfman kicks the bed out of the way and barges into the room, looking up after Cog.
Cheddarius makes it to the fortress entrance with a whole arsenal of weapons in his arms, With him is Hrodegr, Ochita and Urist. Ochita runs into the stockroom to arm themselves. Hrodegr has a shield and farther back Urist remains to operate the copper porticulus/doorway. Cheddarius accidently drops his crossbow as he breaks into a run
Cheddarius charges forward, seeing the werewolf in his sight, and hurls one wooden javelin at its back, it flies fairly straight, and makes it through the doorway at least but it falls short. He continues charging forward and throws the other one closer. It nails the werewolf in the abdomen, but Cheddarius arm is weak, or the wolfhide too tough, because the javelin only tears the hide, pierces the fat and scratches the muscle layer. Granted it was a big muscle layer.
Cog Cowers in the corner of his attack as the werewolf begins crawls towards him, but it is wounded from below as it hangs halfway out of the attic, It is enraged just a little bit more and it drops down and sees Cheddarius. It dashes madly towards him.
Hrodegr loads up cheddarius crossbow and passes it to him. Then he retreats back inside the fortress entrance. "Use the traps to our advantage!"
Cheddarius shoots his crossbow from the hip as he retreats backward as best he can, but the bolt sticks firmly in the side of the cabin instead.
Nirur lays reaches the tower top just in time to see the werewolf burst into the cabin and probably devour Cog the fisher. He lays down and braces his powerful crossbow on the very edge and wit for the werewolf to come back down. Cheddarius antics definitly draw its attention and it comes bursting out in a chase. Nirur pulls his trigger when it comes out and at the last moment compensates a hair, in the blink of an eye, for the werewolfs lunging stride. The bolt hits Skewering its neck and mangling its tail.
The wolfman rears back in pain giving Cheddar and Hrodegr enough time to get back behind the gate. The Wolf charges forward and triggers 3 of the 4 traps. Spikes erupt from the floor Striking twice in the right leg and once in the abdomen. The spikes tear gash and slice its hide. Bruise, gash , and tear its fat. Pierce and gash its muscle. and scratch and pierce its organs. One of the spikes strikes deeply. The werewolf vomits and is immobilised for a moment before the spikes retract.
Cheddarius chucks a javelin while he is able, flying deflty through the gate and shallowly wounding it. It reels from accumulated wounds.
Werewolf reaches the gate and seises it in both hands. It bashes it with one hand repeatedly and shakes it violently. The Copper gate warps and bends slowly at first, but as it stress fractures the werewolf makes a mockery of the shoddy construction of the copper gate. Its thin metal twists free and the wolf lunges at the dwarves. Cheddar, Ochita and Hrodegr are ready though , and strike first as it leaps through the air. Ochita misses with the pick, Cheddarius swings the copper axe that he made himself, and strikes it in the shoulder and it pounces, but its toughness is like no other, and the axe turns in his hand, doing negligible damage. Hrodegr leaps in its way heroically, bashing it in the face with his shield.
The werewolf bowls over hrodegr and cheddar with ease, slamming them against Ochitas seemingly immovable bulk, they are lightly squished. The wolf bites into Hrodegrs shieldrim, and slashes about with both claws, it grasps about but tears only clothing. Blodo gushes from it many wounds and it begins to look pale.
Cheddar cuts at it viciously a few times in the ensuing melee, even Urist joins in to help, it is a tumble of grasping clawing and biting, but eventually Ochita manages some space to swing his pick and strikes the werewolf through the clavicle, mortally wounding it. The werewolf is a real die hard though, and allthough seemingly stunned and bites back and gnaws Urist in the collabone, and slashes Ochita across the face, and kicks cheddarius into the adjacent wall, and easily hurls hrodegr down the hallway. It staggers on for a little bit, long enough to seize, dig in and tear apart precious ligaments of Urist and nearly disembowels Ochita before the pick finishes it off.
Nirur gets there to help. Cog the fisher continues to cower. Cog the glasser, hurls a glass bead at its corpse. Ochita is badly wounded, some of his rib bones are exposed, and Urist is badly mangled. Hrodegr is badly bruised, with minor cuts, and Cheddarius is lacerated in the face, and nearly broke his elbow from hitting the wall, and his breastplate is caved in from the kick, but it only bruised his ribs. Eral was nearly superdwarvenly tough, and unbelivably strong and very healthy even before succumbing to the curse of the werewolf.
