Cog’s Journal, 13th of Obsidian, 322
Well just when I thought the year was going to end completely uneventfully a goblin siege arrived at our walls. The military is on the job!
Oh, and a kobold siege as well just to keep things really entertaining.
Events of the 14th of Obsidian, 322
Derm was one of the first to engage the enemy in this siege. He was rusty from such a quiet year but his blade quickly tore into the goblin flesh. They fell like sand after a windstorm. Before he knew it, 6 goblins had fallen before him and his squad had taken care of the reest.
Garet, master of weapons was getting talented with his sword. He was close behind Derm for the first battle and four goblins were easily taken down. He had a minor close call from a goblin hammer lord but it was taken down easily by the other soldiers.
There was no way Monty was missing this battle. Several had passed by but this one was hers. Heads flew at the slice of the sword and three kobolds were already credited to her. She followed close behind Derm. He might fall and Towersoared with him, but today would not be that day. She gathered herself together as Derm shouted the orders to advance on the trolls.
Bennet’s speed almost got the better of him today. He found himself among a large squad of Trolls alone. He found himself stunned and being pushed around by the beasts. Sadly, just as the rest of his squad arrived to aid him, he was pushed into the moat by the beasts. He rested for a moment and stood up. He was uninjured but the fight would be over by the time he returned.
Thor was late to the party but he still arrived in time to cave in some goblin skulls. His platinum hammer caved helmets and skulls with equal ease. The battle raged around him but it was good! The blood and body parts flying about belonged to goblins not dwarves. And there were still more trolls nearby!

The sieges were easily broken by our military. The number of kills amassed was quite impressive as well:
Derm: 22
Thor: 8
Sturist: 13
Lars: 5
Monty: 7
Bennet: 17
Garet: 9
Rashem: 13
The only tragedy to report is the death of two of Omen’s animal guardians. They got caught by a couple kobolds and were slaughtered. To add insult to injury, Omen didn’t’ manage to get any kills either. I’ll have to speak with him later to ask if he wants to train new helpers.
OOC: it wasn’t a terribly hard siege, so I’m just giving you a taste of what the various dwarves were up to.
@kisame12794: That would be awesome. It’s a shame the game isn’t good about recognizing truly legendary achievements such as single handedly killing forgotten beasts.
@Urist Imiknorris: Good point, I never thought about it that way. I still have trouble believing how stable this fortress is. Also, your solution to the crossbow problem is exactly what I did.
@dermonster: Indeed, that is also true. Although unlikely. Derm is only 77 years old after all!
@Hugo_The_Dwarf: Interesting approach although it’s not actually necessary for this task. In fact, the only necessity is adding the [ITEMS_WEAPON_RANGED] tag to the metal as suggested by Urist Imiknorris.
