Don't worry mate you did a decent job.

I think I was stuck in a Dwarven mindset on my turn. We might need to rely more on traps, isolation, and trickery like true Kobolds.

Is somebody gonna save Gakruldus? Or am I going to have to pick up the save and finish malkomk's turn myself? Is that ok with you Svarte?

Oh hey, I just so happen to be one of the few namedbolds still alive, nice.

I'll take a turn as well. I have such plans for this sorry excuse for a kobold cave. I really doubt it's going to last that long though... without a serious overhaul to the defenses, and any sort of competent military personnel... or weapons even.

Really? What happened to Drakoniss?
Drakoniss got his head smashed in with a crossbow. Sadly, the only one OGs who made it through the attack were Alkhemia, Yarsniff, Rolf, and Spish. Everyone else is kill by goblins...

Jreengus. Jreengus never changes.

No worry there malkomk. Kobold camp is famous for that most camps won't make it past 1st seige anyway. If it's ok, I would like to try rescue the camp as well. Perhap we all should try and share the result of our struggling. And from what I see from the old save, saving the camp is pretty challenging :p

Yo Svarte, it's your duty to keep this thing moving. Kote has had more than enough time to respond.

Urgh......where am I ?
What am I doing ?
Did I just take an afternoon nap in middle of the field ?
What is this ? I am soaked
OMG it's blood. I'm covering in blood. So much blood, I'm dying....
umm....no I'm not in pain. this is not my blood
whose is it ?

While I am spacing out something is rolling beside me.
Oh hey, I know this guy.
Isn't he our current overseer Mallkomm ??        (****spelling is abit different but I assume this is your bold is it not malkomk? ****)
He suppose to lead us until the end of year.
But now he abandon us.
well, nobody can really blame him. Can we ?
He can't lead us with only his head after all.

As I look around, I realize that it's not me that cover in blood.
But the whole place is full of blood, Kobold blood.
And not just blood, Kobold's corpses are lying everywhere.
Not just kobold's corpse, there are also yak's, lamb's, kobold's, reindeer's, mule's, kobold's, well mainly kobold's but you got the picture.

I look futher north and recognize a guy
If I am not wrong this guy is one of founding members of this camp MonkeyHead is he not.
Sadly, he is now just a corpse drowning in his own blood.
I look to other side across the lake, at the end of nice blood trail and recognize another guy.
Isn't he our founder himself, Svarte. anyway, he is resting peacfully near lakeside with his beloved camp.
This place is done for.



I finally come to realization that our camp are underseige by goblin force and I was drafted to help defending it.
Why it took me so long to realize that ?
because I didn't see a single goblin corpse in sight.
This is not a battle, more like a slaughter.
I just arrive here last summer.
Not long after my arrival, these curse goblin come and start killing everyone.
I knew it, I shouldn't leave caveholme and come to this shitty place.
oh but if I didn't come here I wouldn't meet my wife Glidikifleedis........

Wait ! Where is she ?
Where is my wife ? She isn't here.
 I need to rush to her side.
Oh wait, no, I can't doing it barehand. I need to find myself a weapon
Oh right, I was picking up my equipment just now, how can I forget that.
I look around at our former leader corpses.
They are somewhat armored but nothing resemble a weapon.
But did they fight with before they die anyway........

meanwhile one level below surface near main entrance of the camp



current situation
6 invaders left :
1 crossbowgoblin
1 swordgoblin
4 axegoblins

69 kobolds left:
out of 69, 22 is kid, so 47 adult
out of 47 adult I'm still not sure how many is out of commision due to injury.
3 in hospital 3 more on ground from what I see, may be more.

so we are looking at 40 vs 6 not an impossible number to deal with.
problem is our camp defend force (if we can call it that) is scatter all over the camp.
most is still barehand and in procees of picking up equipment.
many will run into goblin and attempt to sucide fight empty-hand
Realisticly, I guess we are looking at 20-30 ill-equipped kobolds ve 6 now elite goblins.

Will Throbograynkus suceed at saving his beloved wife ?
Will He survive himself ??
Will the entire camp even survive ????

END OF PROLOGUE



OOC:
I just looking at the save today. I haven't unpaused the game yet.
Just look around the disaster situation of the camp, look for any name bold, and some interesting bold to bold myself.
If kote or anyone who suppose to have a turn before me show up and want to take a challenge first, go ahead.
Just treat this as some intermission story and continue with your turn. Oh, and bold me with that little guy please.
If npbpdy is up, I am ready to attempt to save the camp tonight :P

^ I'm gonna recommend you hire a de facto surgeon/diagnoser/suturer right away to take care of the injured folks before they go insane. I went with Alkhemia, since he seems to be the only competent bold that isn't wounded or depressed. And I don't know why my bold is in the military, he really ain't soldier material; according to his description, he is very weak and clumsy.

I also managed to stabilize the fort quite handily while I was playing around with the save, and nobody went insane in the process either! Considered posting a writeup of my endeavors, but not without Svarte's permission.

Did you save any named kobolds (lol)? I'd be fine if you posted if DarkThug's ok with continuing after you.

Also, holy shit I died.

This is where we see thing different. The camp is in this turmoil, why the fuck isn't EVERYONE in the fucking military :P
Nobody born a fighter (well not many anyway). You just need to keep working on it everyday and eventualy you'll become good.
If you keep waiting and waiting for talented fighter, the goblin will hit you when you have 4 military ^^"

I would prefer to continue with my story if possible. It's Svarte's dicision though.
I promise it won't take long. Tonight, a few days at most, I will let you know if I succeed or fail.
I also promise many kobolds will likely die under my reign :D
because, you see, I am military mind, meaning, I'm using mainly military to defend the fort, not traps (I do use them but not as a longgggg uber trap hall )
So you can expect some epic battles and....... casualty lol
oh and some serious overhual of camp's defend squads.
