You keep the world running smoothly by stocking our larders with delicious meat roasts.

Summer to early autumn 138.

A lot of things happened lately and I hadn't much time to settle down since then. But with things going that fast, it's very important for us not to rush, and to take some time to think to our next moves.
The month of May was as calm as it could be. We made progress on the second barrack near the entrance of the village. Soon our swordmen will have a real barrack and our response time will increase by significant factor. We also started to forge new gugirane armors sets to reform the archer squad. Thratnu, Uquur's husband, is already trained in martial arts and will take the command of this squad, at least temporarily. Two armors has been crafted so far ; one for him, one for Zefer. The rest of the group will carry bows and light Ombathalo armors until we can safely retire them - making our third squad a light skirmisher team with ranged and melee capacity.

Things got heated really fast in early June, when yet another army marched upon Watershield. Their first men crossed the bridge faster than we could react - our forces retreated into the old barracks as the civilians took shelter into the keep. The drawbridge was raised, cutting their vanguard from their rearguard. My men then sallied out and their first wave was eliminated quickly.

But now the problem of the bulk of their troops massing in the east side of the fort had to be dealt with. Our thirty men moved to the south, where we could flank them and take the initiative in the fight. Our plan was simple : charge, break their ranks, disperse and eliminate - using the quality of our troops to break them and send them reeling.

Their leader, Ngom Seducedog, appears to be a litterate man

They reacted rather quickly for a disorganized mass and ran toward us. The clash was as brutal as it gets.


"Age Oled Ura Usmen, Ala Egu", Motto of the Riverguard

Luckily, our plan worked as intended. Our charge totally broke their ranks, sending them flying on one another. The battle had to be won quickly, as we could not sustain a fight this intense for very long, wearing heavy armors.



Apparently, I forgot to desmiss the Prince Ryukan before the battle, so the man joined us. Altho not a soldier, he performed quite well, slaying two of the goblins.
The fight was as dirty as it can possibly be, and corpses started piling at our feet. Three of our men, Ryukan, Ostri and Sas were wounded during the fight, but nobody died outright.

A few hours of battle, and the east side of Watershield was littered with goblins bodies. A number of them were captured alive, some of them managed to flee ; but their main force was covered in their own guts below our ankles.

The victory was almost total. Ryukan was desmissed and send to rest with the other wounded. Thanks to our good doctor - who is becoming now very skilled - everyone managed to recover fully in a month.

A bit of time passed, before three good news reached us.

First of all, we finished the second barracks. Imic's swordsmen were moved there at once.
Second, as he was recovering, Ryukan learnt that he had become a father ! A little girl it is. (Ryukan if you want to name your first born be my guest)
And lastly, Zothoabo's daughter is now in age of working and needs to choose a career. While we always need more arms for the army, maybe our doctor has other plans for his elder daughter.


Mid autumn 138... There's still a lot of work to do.

You sure? Unless some happen, the little bundle is your succession right here.
Princess Cemir suggest "Ini" for a name.

Spoiler: Ini (click to show/hide)

If you change your mind, let me know. Also additional drawings on the board. Posted early because I wanted to have something to show.

My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.
Apparently they evolved a taste for everything I love and care about

Well....no but...
You can't deny she has the profile for the job !

Besides she's not totally evil. She has (will have?) a love-hate relation with power, have trouble understanding people, loves money and don't like outsiders that much. It doesnt speak very well of her but, she's not outright evil.

And even if she is, we have a council of noblemen in Watershield for important decisions. It's not like the Prince is all powerful. It's however true that she'll have to represent the people of the principalty to the other lords and to the queen.

Edit : Also how can anyone hate a baby? She's perfect I tell you



Edit 2 :

Before we go into the autumn update, here is the table of deeds of last battle, as the enemy came with a number of officers.

Spoiler: Enemy officer defeated (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Enemy captured (click to show/hide)

Of course she does, everyone in the two heavy infantry squads fight. But she hasn't killed any HF, so it's hard for me to keep track of everything she killed during this peculiar battle

Holy shit, she killed a troll and five goblins! That's right, babe. Earn the name Danger.

I'll write and post something later on. Maybe not tonight, but soon.

Note that the requirement to earn a heroic name, which is probably the highest level of glory one can expect to achieve, one must kill five historical figures, so it seems. Imic and Uquur, hand down the best fighters of the fort, don't have a heroic name yet (but probably very soon)

I doubt she'd care about the name. She just wants to fight for the sake of fighting.

Whatever I do won't be a journal entry. The quest for knowledge is pointless to her and I can't see any reason she'd keep a journal.

Until I can figure out how to post the pics directly onto here, I'll link 'em to my Deviant Art page. I should anyway, my fans there will like to see what I'm up to.
