Journal of Peregar the Carp Enter (found somewhere in the forgotten halls of Murderwheel)
Dear Diary. Last migrant group was ambushed by goblins and almost wiped out, and we barricaded the gate. What Exodius does, we need a proper military here!
Also elven traders managed to get in. Exodius met them and they suddenly died by his axe. I guess he wanted to test his fighting skills before battle.
.....
Dear Diary. Human traders threw goblins away and removed the siege out. We opened the gate and let them in.
....
<runes are crooked like were scribbed in a hurry>
Dear diary, more goblins sneaked inside. I got to help others getting rid of them with my axe, will write later.



Yes, put me into reclaim party, as Gar the axedwarf (and any civilian profession that fits). Lets chop some goblins!

Actually I wanted to make Mlae Reclaimer Hammerdwarves and Female one Crossbowdwarves. I will do an exception for you though^^ For everyone really, unless they want to be female, 'cause I have a story planned out for that^^ If everyone says something soon we will be able to begin^^ I am hoping for a particular bug to occur, the one where hostiles become friendly until next siege. I have something planned for that as well. OH and before anyone asks, I am claiming one of the female marksdwarves, called Litheme^^

IT IS NOT THE SCOURGE OF URIST! I had made up an image of what it looks like and if a forgotten beast like that appears I will make Exodius the First fight it one on one, presuming he will be back.

EDIT: Ok I had an image for the Scourge but this one is better. So without a further delay I introduce

What was my original design? Who the hell cares! It's a three-eyed cat that spits on people now!

[FireCrazy]

Oh, I didn't even have time to start up journal entries before I died. Redorf please! Maybe a less dangerous job, maybe a miner or a mechanic or something..

Litheme
-----------

I have gotten used to the dungeons in the Mountain Homes. They are certainly much roomier than usual arangements in other holds. Definately next few weeks will be rather comfortable. Maybe next winter I will let them catch me deliberately, to stay in warm place during the cold season. As long as I do not do anything that warrants hammering that is or unless King takes direct interes...

'You, fraudster! Get up! King wants to see you.' Well Fu...

~~~~~~~~~~~

'So you are miss Litheme? I must admit, it is rather rare name. Wasn't there a Forgotten Beast called the same way?' Asked the King.

'Yes, Your Highness. I was named after it by my... associates.' I like my name, it is a token of my skills.

'Well than, miss Litheme, You must be wondering what I want with you. Do not worry it is nothing that is a danger to you, not any immediate one anyway. I was told you had managed to fool human caravan to think you are our broker and managed to... acquire all their possessions., pawning them before our Guards managed to sniff you out. Is that correct?'

'Yes, Your Highness.' I replied, deciding that honesty may lower amount of Hammer Blows I may have to endure.

'You may be pleased that we managed to recover all those goods and limit the political fallout resulting from your.... practical joke. Usually you would get 10 hammer blows for endangering our diplomatic position but today... today we have a need for someone of your talents.' King looked at me and when I stood there, confused, without uttering a word he continued. 'We may be persuaded to wipe your slate clean, if you do us a little favor. You see, there is a fortress that needs reclaiming, It is currently occupied by at least one squad of goblins.'

'Am I really the only person? You may need a Champion or a Militia Commander or....' I started in panic.

'Oh, no, no. I believe there won't be any need for violence. I believe you know the goblin language? With your abilities I know you can persuade them to give up the post. I will sent six other individuals with you, some armed just in case. Good luck.' And that was it. I got a delayed execution order. Convince goblins to peacefully move out of a place. Well, maybe I will be able to run away.

~~~~~~~~~~

I won't be able to run away, he is sending a Guardsdwarf along.

[FireCrazy]

Oh then, how about Marksdwarf/Animal Trainer?

Edit: Wait, wasn't there something about human caravan saving us from the goblins?

[exodius1]

Read carefully^^ There was one more squad nobody saw until it was too late^^ And you can be the mentioned guard. yeah, I'm gonna change  it in the OP. Also, you may get a lady as well.

EDIT: ok, your role is to make sure Litheme doesn't run away. You may or may not be removed from Sheriff position when Exodius comes back. Feel free to add your own filler.

[FireCrazy]

Whoops, missed that last part, thought we abandoned because of a tantrum spiral or something like that. I'll make sure she won't be running anywhere..

Abandoned due to tantrum spiral? NEVER!!!! I once managed to survive a spiral with one toddler living off the moisture on the floor of his parents room until next migrant wave arrived!!

Anyway, I'll wait for more Volunteers for a bit and start playing again this evening.

EDIT: Started the reclaim, wish me luck

Hang on, I have embarked with wrong civ, It would mean we have access to "High Boot" technology but it also means lack of our original dwarves. START OVER! This however serves as a handy proof of concept.

Done, cannot be bothered with screenshots for now. Maybe after someone posts someting

Diary of Gar the Axedwarf
We arrived to the place. Goblins seem friendly... for goblins. Actually, there are goblins and human merchants scattered around who looked 'friendly'. I mean, they stare into nowhere and smile dumbly.
I guess they found the wine cellar of outpost's founders and guzzled it...  I should negotiate with yak, she looks the most intelligent among all them.

Litheme
---------

We have arrived. In the spring of Year 10. Even though we were supposed to start the reclaim at spring of year 9. Reason for it is some complicated political discussion between our civilization and some other dwarven kingdom. Apparently Murderwheel is some new promised land or something. During the journey I talked a lot with Gar. He is one of my new friends, real friends. Not like my accomplices in crime back at home who would stab you in the back as soon as you turn around. I even told him what I had done to deserve to be sent on this suicide mission. He didn't care. Only problem is he is also friends with that accursed Guard-lady who carefully watches my every move.

So as I said we have arrived and there is no way to escape. It is not all horrible though, seems that those of the goblins who are left on the site are pretty much drunk off their asses. From what I can deduce they have drunk all the booze that was in the fort including barrels way past the expiry date. I think that alcohol brewed pre-retreat was made by either a high master or a complete cretin as even inhaling some of the vapors can get me to get dizzy.

It would also seem that goblins have equally drunk prisoners, although I use that term loosely seeing nothing is stopping them from running away. They even have a Yak, Gar claims it may be the most intelligent of the bunch.

[FireCrazy]

I should change the name to something else, since my dwarf is a female...

I think we can take advantage of the state our "invaders" are in. They do not seem bothered by us walking around and doing stuff. I have even made a little experiment, much to Gar's dismay. I had walked over to nearest Goblin Lasher.

'Hello, how are we feeling today?' No answer, he just stared at me blankly. Let's see.... [goblin]'Hello, how are we today?[/goblin]

[goblin]'Rather well, lady-dwarf. Why do you have plump helmets instead of ears?'[/goblin] He answered before falling asleep. Yes, we can definitely use it for our advantage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Ok, listen carefully.' I said in a hushed tone to other reclaimers. 'This may be difficult, I'm going to talk to the goblins and you are going to take their weapons and armor away. Just remember, do not do it forcefully. Politely request their armaments. If you follow this instructions everything will be fine.' Looks on my associates faces were priceless.

'You want us to walk over to the goblins and ask them politely to give their weapons to us?' Said Karnii.

'We will try.' Interupted him Gar.

'Very well.' Said Griffin.

[goblin]'Can I have your attention please? We are impressed with how wonderfully you have taken care of our Fortress! You kept the place cleaner than it was ever before!' I said trying not to pay attention to massive amounts of junk littering every single room and corridor. 'We would like to repay you in kind! Please give us your armor and weapons and we will clean, repair and improve it using our metalsmithing skills!'[/goblin] I knew it worked when one of the lashers walked over to Gar, who was barely hiding panic, and handed over his whip, saying:

[goblin]'Go easy on the polish, I like my whips to be a little matte.'[/goblin]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is taking a long time to convince other goblins to give up their armaments. One of them is still holding on to his copper scourge. Nothing major, I'll take it from him myself as soon as I have some time. I think I know what had afflicted this poor bastards. Volcano fumes are hardly healthy in small doses, to races other than dwarves that is, and they had spend here whole two years. I almost pity them. As soon as We manage to disarm the last one I think we will relieve them from their misery.
