Events of the, 18th of Felsite 326
Sodel Larkubuk the hauler was outside at the north of Towersoared gathering garbage when the alarm was sounded. Naturally, he was outside the wall. A swarm of bolts cascaded around him as he scrambled to get to safety. Unfortunately, they were between him and safety. He dove off a small slope as a mass of bolts nearly cut him in two. A small burst of pain as one bolt clipped his leg.
Scrambling to his feet, he began running as fast as he could. A kobold spearmaster was leading the pack of Kobolds. Sodel had no doubt if that spearmaster caught him, he'd be dead in an instant. But then he zigged, when he should have zaged. He felt a burst of pain in his gut. Then in his leg and arm. He collapsed vomiting to the ground. Then a bolt took him in the head and Sodel was no more.
Endok the Mason was out working on the latest section of the fortress wall and didn’t hear the shouts of alarm. He hardly knew what hit him when a bolt cut straight through his throat. He bled to death in moments.
Dragonshardz, in his adamantine armor was fighting hard. One, then two Kobolds feel to his sword. Then a burst of pain as he took three arrows in the gut. He gasped in pain as he collapsed to the ground. In spite of months of training, his constitution was still not as good as the other members of the military.
Derm was glorying in the battle as always. He casually killed four Kobolds while dodging hail of bolts. To be honest, he wasn't entirely interested in this battle. Assaulting the adamantine and the demons once more, now that was exciting.
Cog’s Journal, 22nd of Felsite 326
According to the after action report, we have 6 dwarves injured and two dead after today's siege. I've once again forbidden all items up in the hill to try and keep everyone closer to the fort. Three military members were injured. Two with mild cuts but Dragonshardz was once again injured quite badly. I believe he will still survive though.
The biggest downside is that this is going to take away from Balta’s treatment. Once the military has recuperated, we'll look into attacking the adamantine.
OOC: So a bit of a disastrous siege. It just goes to show how much of a difference there is between the long term professional military and the recent additions. I had to run it fast so I could get this update posted so no screenshots today. On that note, I’m going to be away on vacation for about 10 days, so expect the next update in about 2 weeks.
@Argonnek: Thanks kindly, I really appreciate it.
@Paaaad: Most of the first generation is over 100 years old now. There’s a fairly insane age difference between the old and young in this fortress. There’s still a lot of work left on the list to get Balta back on his feet.
@Pittsy: Heh, brilliant. Water drinking as an insult, I love it.
@Triaxx2: Indeed, we can rebuild him faster and stronger!
@Julien Brightside: Thanks for stopping in! Sorry I can’t dwarf you, but with so little story left it just wouldn’t be fair. On the other hand, once the story is finished I’ll be posting the fortress.
