Thriggle has been sleeping off the burden of leadership.



Leafsword trapped himself in the magma intake pipe while setting up a grate, and had to be helped out. Well, he claims that the grate was put up against his will by "a dwarf with a face like a shadow." Whatever.

Big news! I met our neighbors, and they are wretched. These dunes have kobolds, and thanks to my keen eyes we caught this one before it could lift anything. Operation get-an-army is still in it's infancy, but the emergency drills I've been running worked like a charm.



Pick Yer Poison provided excellent ranged support while I "apprehended the criminal." First, I...



So that was an exciting day. Maybe I'll get a cool scar out of it.

Now where is that gosh-darn doctor?



I guess I did tell him to prioritize improving our arsenal over his other duties...

SpoilerStill in bed. Schazer's dead. May peace yet bless this weary head.
Our hope is worn. We are forlorn. But I'll yet pull this kobold thorn.

It was early in the morning when we heard the dogs barking upstairs. Of course, after yesterday we knew what was behind it.



But when we rushed to the entrance we were expecting to find a thoroughly dead kobold, not two bleeding war dogs and a missing intruder.



Baffled as to how this kobold could have accomplished such a feat, and with most of our decent warriors elsewhere/injured, everyone else rushed to avenge them, with Schazer at the forefront of course.

The reason, we would find out soon enough. This one had an accomplice. They blindsided Schazer as she rounded the corner, without giving her the chance to load her crossbow. One killer was mobbed immediately, but his partner escaped in the confusion.



I've never heard of such competence out of kobolds. If only I could have been there. Or any other portion of the actual militia for that matter.

Burial arrangements will be made as soon as everyone can be called back to the fortress. We will all have to apologize to Leafsword for our skepticism as well.

SpoilerSchazer, I'm deeply sorry about this. Do you have any preferences for your tomb? The magma isn't flowing yet, so being buried in/under the heart of the forge is still an option.
