I notice that one of our elves, Ile, has experience with a bow but is not in the guard. This is corrected immediately.

Ugh… not again
Everyone’s fine but a pet mountain goat landed outside the wall. This is what you get when you bring pets to construction projects.
7th Moonstone, 2016
Rifa damn it! The goblins are shooting up the walls at our carpenters working on the tree!
At least he was able to get away without dying.

Bowie’s bridge is progressing slowly. Since we don’t have enough mechanics, I’ve decided to draft some.
16th Moonstone, 2016
Omo throws a small hissy fit, but calms down immediately. This may be a sign of things to come
19th Moonstone, 2016
Well what do you know! Alisa as made a complete recovery! Credit has to go to Muffin II.

Ana Neciliykli is acting just like Famime was, with all the screaming and shoving and craft-shop claiming.
28th Moonstone, 2016
After claiming a bunch of logs, Ana says that she wants metal bars. She does know we’re elves in the middle of a siege, right?

I’m going to try bowie’s bridge. It’s about half loaded, but we should stil be able to catch a fair amount.
10th Opal, 2016
I worked! We are now the proud owners of 5 new troll cages.
13th Opal, 2016
Alisa was shot to death by passing bow goblins.
15th Opal, 2016
I think we proved the worth of this bridge.
18 goblins & trolls captured.

(this section of the journal is entirely filled with obscenities)
Well, our whole guard squad has been killed. The swordsgob leader got stuck up on the middle platform with the elephant, so I sent them in to shoot him down. He jumped off of the platform and started to slaughter them. I am unhappy.

We did not pull the lever fast enough. The goblins have made it to the end of the bridge. A volunteer force will try to hold them back. I will lead them.
The war animals will help.
This is a mess.
--------------------------------------------------------
Incase my ramblings where not clear enough, what happened is this: A really fast troll got to the lever before the elves did, scaring anyone you tried to pull it. I drafted some of the more useless elves into the guards, including myself. The caravan of war elephants passed by and started to fight the gobos. Two of the drafted elves were miners and where able to kill some of them with their picks. Fortunately, one of those gobos killed was the squad commander, so they retreated. Unfortunately, the trolls just seem to be standing there, fighting all who come near. All those that lived through the initial assault where called Heros. I did not, so the rest of this will be out of character.
There are some highlights to the fight with the trolls too.
The fight with another troll basically went like this.
Those that were fighting the first troll killed it. A third troll walks down and one of the heroes starts to fight it and killing it, with the help of one of the elephants. That elephant then goes and gores the CRAP out of the strangler troll, saving the hero trapped there. The true hero of this is Kle Healerleaf the Weight of something or other (it goes of page) the elephant. The lever is finally able to be pulled and the remaining trolls get trapped.
Oh wait…
Rifa damn it! There’s a troll in Evil_Fuzzy’s room. He’s not attacking any one who goes in so I think he’s trying to destroy that invincible artifact table…or enjoying a nice cup of tea…
…*whimper*
Oh and the milker, you know the one that was trying to have elves make metal bars under siege? Yeah, she finally went stark raving mad…No wait… she’s on break from being insane…
--yeah she’s just sitting there.
*Deep Breath*
Ok, one problem at a time. I made Evil Fuzzy the guardian. If he wants his room so badly, he’s going to have to be the one to get the troll out. And so he does:
His pick cuts the troll down fast.

Tigermen?
Cool.

Thank Rifa. Spring.
Notes for the next overseer: The army is nonexistent, we are still being sieged, we are running out of resources, and we are on the verge of a tantrum spiral. On the plus side, bowie’s bridge works rather well! And we have some good "targets" to train our next bow elves. Just watch out for the bow gobos.
