Events of the 15th of Timber, 321 Garet had easily heard the orders shouted by Derm as they exited the military tower. Derm’s squad was going right and the other squad would go left. Kill everything you come across until we meet in the hills behind the fortress.
Garet was quite surprised when he realized he was out in front and surrounded by kobolds. He gripped the sword he had only been issued a few days before and began swinging. Even with his lack of skill wielding a sword, he could leverage his training as a marksdwarf and a fighter. He felt a sharp burst of pain in his arm as kobold spear grazed his arm but he ignored it. He quickly gripped the sword and continued swinging without hesitation or restraint. Several kobolds fell to his sword.
As the last kobold fell and he caught his breath and looked at his arm. The scratch was already clotting over. He could continue the fight with his squad after all.
Bennet bashed kobold after kobold to pieces with his hammer. The idiotic creatures didn’t stand a chance against the mass of his war hammer. Shattering bones and crushing skulls was childs play for him now. Trolls were next. Sturist had a head start, but the fastest dwarf alive would catch up soon enough.
Sturist was having a shredding trolls and kobolds. The fight was going very nicely indeed as he chopped kobolds and Trolls with equal enthusiasm.
Cog’s Journal, 16th of Timber, 321 Other than a few dwarves falling into the moat and one broken arm the siege went extremely well. Even so, I don’t think we’re going to see any caravan this year. According to Derm, a lot of the enemies started running as soon as they saw him coming. That plus a couple of unfortunate encounters with the moat led to the low results today.

Cog’s Journal, 17th of Timber, 321 We’re still recovering from the siege but I had a visit from one of our engravers today. He’s interested in expanding his horizons and wants to work with horn or possibly even bees. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bee in this area so that probably won’t be possible but I’m sure I can fine something for him to do with horn. Balta the Engraver is his name.
OOC: The siege played out very strangely. More dwarves took a dive into the moat than I’ve ever seen before. I wish there was more to say about this siege but nothing went right for some reason. I didn’t write up those details because I’m running short on time as it is. Suffice to say, no claimed dwarves were injured today!
@Paaaad: Your dwarf is above. He’s already a legendary engraver. I’ve assigned him to bonecarving and beekeeping (on the offhanded chance I figure out how to introduce bees into an existing world).
@dragonshardz: That’s a possibility.
@Urist Imiknorris: I’m leaning towards magma or a cave in. Either way, it’s pretty much unkillable with bolts.
@Triaxx2: Interesting idea . . . I might have to use that.
@kisame12794: Yeah, fraid so. Even an entire squad would be cut down by a single burst from this monster.
