46 dead dawi for 2 points of shame resistance and 2 points of relationship with Izor is still worth it in my book. Also because of our small size and giant quantity of money the losses are not really that bad. There are 400 Korki dwarfs we can grab next turn at a minimum. All in all this was a good fight, would do again.
Still, next time we probably should spend an Intrigue action to soften them up if practical. This battle would have a lot fewer casualties if those doom divers had been sabotaged, the shaman killed, or both.

On the other hand if we had rolled that 1 for the intrigue action we could have lost the Ordo Ok Ansger or both. The action was literally a coin flip before bonuses ad failures for intrigue can be nasty because there is no fallback. Like it says in the description, those dwarfs are not warriors, they are killers.
 
The Runic crossbow would make too much if you fired it right now.

"Too much noise?"

"Too much. Just too much generally."

POWER OF THE WAAAAGH!!! Rolled 100 + 16 (Orc Shaman Combat Prowess) = 116

DODGE! Rolled 1 + 19 (Bokri's Martial Prowess) = 20

SHHHHHIIIIITTTT! NOT AGAIN ALREADY!

Your lungs expand as your ribs heal, your chest expands, sweet air floods into your lungs.
The Black Ring of Kragg The Grim is glowing brightly with an inner white light as your flesh mends and your bones start to heal. Slowly pushing yourself up from the ground, you can feel your neck make a horrific popping noise as it is forced back into proper alignment, and the blood and viscera all around you begins flowing back into your body.

O.O

You know that Monty Python bit where the guy gets slapped with a giant fish?

...yeah.



"BECAUSE KRAGG IS A MASSIVE KRUTTI!" You yell at the top of your lungs, blowing off the head of an Orc that came close to you.

Word.

What you should do is grow up and stop being a beardling. Bokri is still young. He hasn't reached his full strength yet.

But how can we shame the Long beards if we are not a beardling?
To an older dwarf, you're always a beardling.

Well done on getting the tone across, @Mayto - the constant grind of campaigning against enemies that just don't care about attrition being a major part of why the Karaz Ankor's in such decline is a thing I'm definitely taking for the future.

Hey now, don't insult the umgi, some of them actually marched forth to protect Kislev. They may have been slow and gotten easily lost but unlike the Longbeards in question they did not hide in a hole in the ground. :V
Indeed. A comparison to Elgi would be more in-character. I know that isn't exactly accurate but Bokri probably isn't aware of how badly things were going on Ulthuan during the conflict.
 
Anyway jokes aside it would be nice to get an option to send ansgar's boys to find numbacrumcher and 🏹handle🏹 him before he pulls more orcs together. Also selgra looks like a fan of the lever action crossbow, no clue what production costs are like but expanding that out to our basic troops would be a serious increase in killing power
 
If this keeps going with Bokri dying if not for x effect he's going to start giving Frederick von Hohenzollern an actual competitor on Dynasty quest protag who most reguarly barely avoids dying in combat. :p

…man. The dice just love throwing these curveballs at us when Greenskins and Bokri are in the same battle.

I'm uh, not sure if the Grudge against Kragg still holds.
I mean, Kragg did legit pay off that grudge. We got a Reckoner and everything. Without even knowing what it did, it's a pretty safe bet that anything made by Kragg the Grim is ample compensation for an heirloom axe that, so far as I recall, isn't even runic at all.

That was the kind of grudge that could plausibly be paid off with mere gold (albeit a shitload of it). Let alone something like this.

That 100 vs 1 was bullshit.
Yes, but Kragg is such a giant spiteful asshole that he is even more bullshit than those rolls. :p

Longbeards are even better at shaming other longbeards than beardlings are.
