First off let me apologize for any issues with pictures or story... This is my first time I've ever uploaded any and the first time I've ever dealt with a succession game. I don't even have the pictures uploaded yet, trying to figure that out right now. Issues with file types, won't accept bmp's. I'll deal with it later though. | First off let me apologize for any issues with pictures or story...

What the hell was that? First some lunatic with a crossbow screams at me over and over if I brought wood, then I nearly get brained by a stone-fall trap. They must really be paranoid over here or something. I finally got admitted inside where its at least somewhat warmer than outside, damn glad I finally didn't have to deal with all that sun anymore. I haven't the slightest idea why well over a hundred Dwarves would come to this Armok-forsaken arctic hellhole in the middle of nowhere, and I don't think even they know that much. But for the time being, we must live with it. | What the hell was that?

And for a moment there, I thought it was the most watered-down, tasteless booze ever made, but it really WAS water. Is that what we've been drinking down here for six years? That's getting fixed immediately, even if I have to shorten down our number of mouths to feed. I'll take a good look at our infrastructure and workshop placement and the like also, see if anything can be improved. Things aren't too bad, I guess, and we have magma available...

For safety reasons first thing I did was have a look at the various levers we have... Not one of them have a note on them, no way of telling exactly what they're supposed to do. While I can make some educated guesses I'm gonna test a few of them out to see what they do. | For safety reasons first thing I did was have a look at the various levers we have...

I had to order most of them torn down and rebuilt, but it looks like plenty of dwarves are willing to help. (Fortifications HAVE to sit ON A WALL to provide the extra protection bonus for creatures behind them. If they're on open space the enemy can just shoot through the little crack between them and the wall.) I drafted a few of our more non-essential dwarves as masons, though there's a bit of a joke going around about whether a dwarf that carves ice should be called a mason or a sculpter. No complaints, though, so we'll have those fortifications back in no time. Rather surprisingly, some nobles and even the tax collector showed up to help renovate. |

They brought quite a bit of wood, though they could have brought more if they had the stones to make some wagons. Ethical works, indeed... We traded off a bunch of finely made stone goods for all their wood, a handful of berries and several bins of cloth. Not a bad deal. A bunch of our Dwarves are being lazy and the drawbridges aren't all done yet so I ordered the military to guard for a while. |

HAHAHA!! Success. I had miscounted the number of goblins a bit but no matter. We took a fair number of them prisoner in cage traps in the first wave of lashers, the rest managed to make it to the stone-fall traps and try to get the muskoxes tied out front. Our military burst out of the doors screaming bloody murder and doing the same to them. Their archers, including one elite bowman, heard the noise, ran around the corner -- straight into melee combat with our champions. Needless to say, the battle was quick, and we ripped most of them apart right there on the bridge, but the rest ran off only to be chased down and wiped out by our far faster and superior military. | HAHAHA!!

I count four groups of goblins now. The first one was lashers and wrestlers, which got ripped apart in the first wave. Their archers got killed on the bridge, only a few of that group got away... The master lasher, more lashers and wrestlers got wiped out by our forces, and that leaves the maceman, swordsmen and wrestler group. | I count four groups of goblins now.

That group was wiped out without any casualties on our end. I miscounted again and we found a fifth group of goblins; This one is just wrestlers, spearmen and swordsmen. I formed up the rest of the military for one last slaughter, but that group broke and ran for the hills rather than face certain death at the hands of our superior forces. We ran down a few of them but the rest got away. I count five groups of goblins defeated now, and the end of the siege. In an eyeblink, their dreams of conquest were so many dead corpses littering the gates of the Fortress. We have four dead from this attack; Two champions died from the bowmen, and a mason and her baby who were caught outside by the lashers. Damn beasts. We're already preparing funerals for our dead, and I've canceled the alert so we can cleanup all these bodies. We have several prisoners we took from the goblins as well, probably execute them in the magma or something later. I gotta say, though, if our military is this effective unarmed, what will they be like with weapons? | That group was wiped out without any casualties on our end.
