--- Chapter 2 --- <<Tattered Journal of Elite WrestlerDishmab Emaldakost>> -- The Battle for the Ural Mountains -- I haven’t got much time so I’ll scribble some notes fast.
The message has reached us alright. A cadaver of a villager on a spooked horse made an appearance earlier today. Our scouts estimate their numbers to be in the hundreds. They’ve brought trolls.
We are 122 strong at this point with a standing military of 12. 11 untrained rookies. We have no chance. I will do my best to hide my fears from the men, but it won’t do much at this point. We will fight. We will die fighting for glory.
Their war horns can be heard over the west bank of the channel, clouds of smoke can be seen littering the horizon. The men are giving up; they have lost all sense of hope. What we need now is a miracle. It is a battle of 12 against two hundred!
So it begins. The goblin army is on the move.
The bridge operator, a consort, runs to pull the lever but is quickly met by a messenger from King Yieltsin.
“Look to the north†he shouts, and so we do. Only 40 rocks from us – HUMANS! Praise Kor!
Yieltsin makes his way down the stairway and barks at the operator, “LOWER THE BRIDGEâ€. But the goblins, they are too close! What is he thinking!?
The humans are greeted with open arms and their wagons make for the safety of the inner walls. A tall old human marks his presence by saluting our ruler and comforting him by saying “we thought you could use some help! And so the old alliance should be forged anew.†The humans fight with a zeal I have never seen before in my life. I left them to guard the front, funneling them through where most of our defenses are concentrated, while I took the dwarves under my command along with a squad of marksdwarves to defend the rear. The river will run red with goblin blood tonight.
I only got to kill 2 lashers! This is terrible! The traps and the humans got most of them, a couple ran away with fatal wounds and bolts sticking out of every body part.
Goblins got crushed. They got absolutely mowed down by crossbow fire and we only lost 2 civilians with no injuries. The mayor escaped a very close call; he was saved by a brave marksdwarf that goes by the name of Kogan Avuzuzar. The invaders lasted one minute before being routed by a combination of angry dogs, human weaponsmasters and dwarf semi-automatic bolt fire.
It has markers for the levers. Connect the right one to both of the cages, retract the bridge with the left lever and enjoy. I have captured a few trolls and goblin lashers.
Second artifact: <img src="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc15/Domining/df2/lastartefact.png" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Our most expensive one yet, beat the last expensive one - the coffin - by $600.
<img src="http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc15/Domining/df2/h8siege.png" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Stupid siege! We lost some anonymous dwarf because of it. A squad of crossbowdwarves massacred the 3 wounded goblin survivors in that hallway.
