Right, actually, apologies, this week is going south at a rate of knots. I need to hand this on to the next unfortunate overseer. D?
And so we start.
A weaponsmith enters a fey mood and claims the magma forge! Good things to follow?
...Nope. A giant corkscrew. I'll jam it in a trap somewhere I guess. Took the opportunity to queue up some silver maces in the forge.
Saved the lives of an entire squad, who had been standing above the drawbridge for who knows how long and were about to starve.
Goblins outside firing on the guys building the fortifications up top.
A diplomat has left unhappy? I'm going to guess they'll be a lot less happy if I open the gate for them.
The goblins continue to take shots at folks on the walls randomly. Fortifications should be done soon though.

Ah yeah my bad forgot to say i'd put them up there...
Migrants. This won't end well...
Bridge is open, militia is at the ready. First squad of goblins rushing the fort is dealt with easily (including a couple goblins being hilariously kicked into the moat.) Then the second, third, fourth and fifth squads appear. Every dwarf for himself, I'm closing the bridge.
So a few casualties there. We're pretty much cut off from the outside world until we have some MUCH better training.
Oh good. A giant one-eyed hornet in the caverns.
And the elves have arrived... No goblins in sight, so I might as well try letting them in.
So far so good, some of the surviving migrants have made it in too.
What in the hell? A squad of goblins is spotted in the stairway near the magma forge. How'd they get inside?

I'm getting the feeling that theres a goblin fort very very close by. i've never had so many so quickly. Its literally turned from DF into whack-a-goblin.
And I tried to choose a relatively peaceful site!
Lots more goblins on the stairs...
We're pretty much ruined at this point. 46 dwarves, but only a few of them actual able to do anything, and are going to go slowly insane.
One of the elven merchant's horses has gone mad and is going on a rampage.
Migrants have arrived.
Migrants have been slaughtered.
Trying to drop the roof in on the last goblin hiding indoors, but no one is willing to grab a pick and dig. Disgusting.
A human caravan has arrived and is dealing with the siege nicely. Gates are open...
Migrants have arrived, safely this time.
More forgotten beasts arrive in the caverns.
All of the injured dwarves begin to die of thirst. Simply no manpower to tend to them, and at least it will free up the hospital beds.
The mayor has imposed a ban on goblets instead of doing something like, oh, I don't know, helping to haul all these corpses outside perhaps. I'd drop the roof on him if someone would actually dig for me.
So not a whole lot to report other than that. We've got 18 beards, and the cleanup is coming along. The gates are currently closed, and we've got no military. As long as no more goblins mysteriously tunnel in, we should be able to sustain ourselves.

If i'm being honest i thought they would have all been dead by now. Well played D.
There are simply far too many ambushes, monsters, madness and general epic disasters. Now the goblins are ninjaing their way inside the fort?
I think this fort is goin down. I'd still like to see it sink though all the same. Good luck Trax

[strike]I'm afraid I've got exciting government-mandated duties at the moment that are keeping me alternating between busy and waiting to be called, so I'd suggest that Ghost take it seeing as he wants to see the fort go down so much![/strike]
Scratch that! Turns out they don't need me after all, so I can take the turn after all.

Right, I think we're into a cascade of problems here, then.
Ghostwolf will have no computer for over a week (long story) and I can't take the turn on account of this being delivery week...
Suggests a pause or some such.
