[Lost Requiem]

I knew the enemy could now use mounts. My previous sieges only had the goblin leader riding a mount.

I must have pissed them off something fierce. Now they're ALL riding a mount!

The forces are as follows:

15 Lashers
1 Hammerlord (leader)
15 Bowgobs
2 Blowgunners (leaders)
15 Speargobs
1 Troll Fishery Worker (what)
1 Troll Miner
1 Troll Carpenter
1 Troll Wood Burner
1 Troll Bone Carver
1 Troll Fishery Dissector
4 Giant Toads
5 Elk Birds
9 Giant Rats
4 Giant Cave Swallows
6 Giant Bats
7 Jabberers
5 Giant Olms
4 Cave Crocodiles
2 Voracious Cave Crawlers
2 Trolls

Total = 102!

My forces are:

9 Hammerdwarves
9 Swordsdwarves

They all wear full iron armor and the swordsdwarves use bucklers.

Woah, just as I was about to post, another Forgotten Beast has appeared. It's a giant Antelope with four horns and a large bloated body.

Clusterfuck, thy name is Lost!

simply wall of as much of the fort as passble and let the siege battle with the forgotten beast that will weaken the winner and kill the loser. You can than try to fight them.

yea you could do that..

or you can position your dwarves between both parties and watch the fun begin.

As Gimli would say

"There's plenty for the both of us! May the best dwarf win!"

Knowing how my luck and the nature of Dwarf Fortress, this will happen next.

It still only counts as one.

I'm starting to hate Forgotten Beasts. This one's noxious fumes caused dizziness, numbness, and drowsiness. Fortunately, it wasn't one of those unkillables like the coal of rutile beasts. The soldiers weren't affected.

With the blood dust and magma settling, we can count the kill tallies.

One of the squads (The lashers) panicked and escaped once they saw their first and second squadrons decimated by the dwarves, drunk and filthy. No one got injured during the first assault against the bowgobs (one of my dwarves was badass enough to swat the arrows out of the sky with his bare hands!), but in the charge against the speargobs, a baby was killed and my Axe Lord took a hit from the blowgunner leader to the arm and bled to death when waiting for healing at the hospital.

The last stretch was just killing the Trolls, who lumbered to the fortress as slow as slow can be. They fell quickly, maybe because they were mostly civilian trolls (if such a thing could even exist).

It's been strange for me, my first two sieges were complete mounted cavalry on flying and/or aquatic beasts.  After those, they must have run out - everyone else has been on foot except a traitorous dwarven general, although they have been more numerous.  It's a shame, because I enjoyed seeing the mounted cav plough 2-deep into my field of serrated discs, high-center their toad on one, then hop out and try to walk the rest of the way.  Most of the mounts were only good for extra body parts.

i would have thought a coal beast would spectacularly catch fire when introduced to Magma

As if I wasn't scared of elephants already...
