The goblin Siege is Over.

Aixler is one of our finest military dwarves. A competent Hammerdwarf and Adequate Fighter with some skill as an Axedwarf, swordsdwarf, speardwarf, shield user, armor user, wrestler, striker, kicker, and dodger, he could have chosen to lead his own squad-- but instead he remained a part-timer as a citizen-soldier.

When the goblins came, he was ready.

The Circle Breaker got the drop on a Goblin Bowman, and opened fire with his wooden crossbow. He fired a bolt, and the Goblin returned fire. He fired again, and the goblin returned fire. He unleashes a flurry of 3 bolts, and the goblin shot back, piercing him through the abdominal muscles with a mundane copper arrow.

Aixler vomited, retched, and fired off one more bolt (which missed) before the goblin fired a second arrow, which tore a ligament and severed a tendon in his right lower leg. He fell prone and passed out. The other, slower dwarves of his squad soon caught up and finished off the foul beast.

He lives on, for now.

Aixler is stunned, nauseated, and in pain. He cannot stand and requires a crutch. He is currently on a bed in the hospital. Our medical dwarves are working around the clock to help him.

Marksdwarf Nomal Orrunoddom died in the line of service. Let the records show that he gave his life in defense of the fortress.

Marksdwarf Sodul Alkrultaron died in the line of service. Let the records show that she gave her life in defense of the fortress.

Carpenter Kadol Regmatul was caught outside during the siege. He died doing his duty as a carpenter.

I'm getting close to the end, ladies and gentlemen. Any requests for what goes in the wrap-up post?

EDIT: OHGODOHGODOHGOD

OH GOD

OH GOD

OH GOD



We literally JUST held off the goblins. We have about 20 of our 30 military dwarves in some form of recovery or another. Our traps are sprung, we're low on ammunition, and all our dwarfpower is tied up tending to the wounded.


"Kima Lutocobim Tullelgo, Dragon: Kima TaxedJewel the Warm Luxuries
A gigantic repitilian creature. It is magical and can breath fire. These monsters can live for thousands of years.

He is very muscular and just gigantic overall. His scales are green. His eyes are black."


Guys.

Guys what do I do


I know what must be done.

---

We did that which was necessary.

We will never worry again about fortress defense, ladies and gentlemen. That is my parting gift.

---

So we've got like 30 wounded, dehydrating dwarves and the water supply is either frozen, or, strangely enough, vaporized. I'm not sure how many will be alive come spring.

I've ordered 30 coffins to be made.

This will all be over soon.

---

EDIT: oh, thank god, I remembered about the underground lake. Designated it for a water source. We might just have ZERO casualties from the dragon!

Aixler, however, passed on. It is a sad day indeed.

---

EDIT: I don't... I don't even know what to say any more.



There's nothing more I can give. Our weapons are broken, our numbers thinned, our spirits dulled. As we draw water to try to comfort the wounded and dying, yet another legend comes to destroy us. Forgotten Beasts are Building Destroyers, immune to traps, and can't be stopped by bridgeapult shenanigans.

And none of that even matters because it's already inside the fort.

The militia will make a final stand at the stairwell. We'll pull the dragon indoors and block him in, and if things turn south, release him. Maybe he and the Forgotten beast will cancel each other out somehow.

Armok save us.

Well, the forgotten beast is just staying down there. false alarm.
