Who is being blockaded, by the way?

The dwarfs seem like they're attacking from the same exit as the halfling village, given that they're in communication with the halflings.

DEAD C0DE watched impassively as the reduced skeleton hordes came back form their assault on the halfling village. While the things carried by the skeletons indicated that the assault was a success. There seemed to be fewer skeletons coming back than had set out.

<757 AWAKE SKELETONS>

That confirmed it then, they had taken about 10.7% losses during the encounter. While being skeletons and having The Idol as a necromancer able to raise fallen skeletons, this was still not an acceptable or sustainable rate of losses in battle. This was a problem that would need to be rectified. While having leaders for different parts of the horde in battle reduced casualties there were still many ways to reduce them further. Looking at the incoming skeletons he noticed that some of them were holding items, presumably to swing with, despite the uselessness of some of those items (who the hell uses the remains of a patch of dandelions as a weapon?) there was some merit there. But as he saw it one of the best ways to improve the odds of survival for the horde was to strengthen the front line. If a warrior couldn't get to the back lines because they were stuck hacking at a chunk of wood they couldn't kill those back lines. Turning on his heel he went to fetch the first batch of crafters he could find. They would be creating shields for the foreseeable future, first to find the best type and then to equip the entire front line.

Day 7
  • Threadmarks
    • Dwarves will attack from inside the caves tomorrow!

    With the halfling village destroyed and some skeletons armed you go back to preparing your forces.
    Most importantly of the day the skeletons get deeper into the cave system finding a giant cavern, a dozen feet tall and a few dozen wide, it's a great spot for fortifications and at the end of it it splits into a variety of other tunnels which seem to have different materials and ore. Limestone may be used for concrete and some of the tunnels seem to have metal ores, not that you know how to work them.

    The dwarves warsongs and thunderous marching seems close, very close there is only so many off shots and you are sure you will see them tommorow.

    Okay stone blockade at 93/100 after pandemonious so maybe one more user

    Maybe awaken more skeletons? We did get 1% spearmen and need more crafters or better crafters to increase that percent but if we can get to 900 skeletons that adds another spearmen to our forces. (need 58 on awaken, 42 if auto awaken happens before dwarf attack)
