Revive the dead rats!

The fight advances forward and we begin to react to the tide of ratmen. Those that crawl under the shieldwall now start to get stabbed by spears or cut up by swords. Those that attempt to jump above the shields are intercepted by spears and skewered like a kebab. The flow of ratmen is slowly starting to lessen, and some ratmen and troglodytes are starting to flee from the battle... The Ratmen's morale is dropping!

The battle continues, but now the ratman have shifted their strategy, it appears they are falling back! However, they leave some of their troops as a delaying action. While we are able to kill the troops meant to delay us, the bulk of the ratman army has escaped.

After the battle, we tally up the death numbers. 750 trolls dead, 250 dwarves. 3,000 Ratmen dead.

We've forced the ratmen out of their forward base and secured this front for some time (or so we hope). What shall we do?

After having stabilized this front we head off to the next front in dire need of aid. After walking through long dark tunnels, the Deep Dwarf underroad system we finally come into a massive cavern with a fortress within it. It is under siege by the Ratmen and Troglodytes. It appears that they are also using 2 large Abyssal creatures. Specifically large rams who appear to be simply on fire... But the rams are unaffected by the fire. These Rams are currently battering down the gate to one of the fortresses. One of the other gates is guarded by the ratmen, to prevent the defenders from sallying out, although we could theoretically penetrate through them and enter the fortress. What shall we do?

Dead heat
As the fight begins, the burning rams continue to batter down the walls slowly but surely. The ratmen do indeed adapt to our attack and start to deploy forces to intercept our charge, and while they take heavy casualties in the attempt to stop us, it blunts our assault and the battering of the wall proceeds as planned. The gate is steadily giving way. On the bright side however, the Deep Dwarves seem to be preparing to sally out themselves as soon as the gate falls down. In addition, the archers atop the fortress walls continue to unleash large amounts of arrows upon the ratmen.

Critical Success
We begin to press the enemy back, and as the gate falls down it appears that the deep dwarves are trying their best to sally out! However, the ratmen have now brought forth another weird weapon... Catapults. However, these catapults do not use any ordinary ammunition, these seem to be using decomposed rat guts, and overall some disgusting sort of ammunition. They are being shot at both our forces and the forces of the deep dwarves, and those who are hit by the catapult's ammunition are absolutely disgusted. On the other hand, we are pressing the enemy back even more, and the Deep Dwarves have taken down a burning ram.

As the fight progresses even longer, the second burning ram falls, and the Ratmen are steadily being pushed back into the Corridors from whence they came, however their catapults continue to fire upon us and cover us all in disgusting rat feces and their dead bodies. Some men are already starting to cough after having come in contact with these dead bodies, while others are feeling extremely weak. These ratmen are trying to spread disease through our ranks!

The ratmen are forced out of the caverns, and those that are left as a rear guard are cut down by our forces relatively quickly. The deep dwarves are elated to have had some support from us and gladly invite us to come to the fortress.

After taking tallies of all who died, in total about 5,250 ratmen died in this encounter.
On our side, about 1,150 deep dwarves died while we ourselves lost 1,500 trolls and 500 dwarves.

Our army is now down to 7,000 men strong... However, a new problem is rising among the ranks. Disease, it appears that many of the dwarves and trolls that were hit by the feces and decomposing rats from the catapults are now getting many types of diseases, colds, flus, even the bloody plague is making a resurgence within the soldier population. Compounded on that, many of the wounds that our soldiers sustained are getting heavily infected... These rats have spread a pestilence among our ranks! What shall we do?

Almost all of the dwarves have been healed, thanks to Stou Herbalism. The unlucky few that had been beyond saving had chosen to go and die against the ratmen, we can only hope they killed as many ratmen as possible before giving up.

As we make our way through the winding tunnels, it is wet, moist, and damp. Our Earth Mages guide us through and widen the tunnels to allow our trolls to pass more easily. Eventually our scouts spot a major ratman nesting area, plenty of small living spaces are found within this cavern. However, in the distance we hear chanting, something about the Deceiver. The scouts say there is no major ratman military presence and that the military force must have retreated another way. All that's left here is mostly innocents, as far as we know.

Lets make a dent in their numbers.

We slaughter not just the women, but the children too. Thousands are slaughtered, and by the end of the day everyone is just exhausted from slaughtering ratmen. Most of the trolls and even some dwarves agree that slaughtering ratmen is fun, perhaps it should be made a sport. Slaughtering stuff is fun. However, an important report comes from the group that entered what appeared to be a temple area. What further fueled our rage to kill was the fact that we learned what happened to the dwarves we sent out... It appears they were captured and tortured to death here.

There, the ratmen simply worshipped an abyssal being called "The Deceiver." They kept talking about a summoning of a powerful abyssal being of sorts. Any attempts at interrogation simply yielded us the word "Bal." No other information was extracted from these ratmen. What shall we do now?

As we proceed deeper and deeper into the Labyrinths we finally reach what appears to be the capital of the Ratpeople, or so we think... It's a massive cavernous complex filled to the brink with Ratpeople of all kinds. Inside also appear to be Abyssal beings simply sitting and standing around, watching each other. Our army watches from above through small cracks. We are undiscovered yet, but we have certainly found the Ratman Capital. It is well-fortified, with stone walls and would certainly be hard to siege due to the cramped spaces which are not ideal for FYTs. Another curious matter is that they appear to be crafting powerful weapons. One of which appears to be a massive hamster wheel that has to be transported through particularly large tunnels.

The plan works! We unleash a tide of water from an underground reservoir upon the ratmen, and it certainly deals a significant amount of damage to the civilian part of the city, and even destroys one of the armories! However, most of the military infrastructure is still intact, due to a second layer of walls preventing most water from getting in, and on top of that there appears to be some sort of drainage system which eventually drains all of the water. This flood has killed many and damaged a bunch of buildings, so we can assume it to be some sort of victory, what shall we do now?

Our initial charge catches the enemy off guard, we kill plently of the unsuspecting ratmen, but now many of them are fleeing to the military complex and ruling complex of the city, adjacent areas which are both fortified with some serious walls. The Ratmen numbers seem to be large as yet more ratmen pour out from the nearby tunnels. However, it appears Ifrits are supporting our efforts!

As our offensive keeps pushing, it appears that the ratmen are pushing back, and those archers on the walls are really damaging our units heavily. The issue now is that we are facing tides upon tides of ratmen smashing against our lines. Luckily, our necromancers are now starting to raise the dead, giving us some sort of support to hold the lines against the enemy. However, the Ratmen are now starting to bring up massive metal hamster wheels with spikes... It appears that those within the Hamster wheels are simply large elementals that will direct the enemy... It appears they are charging up! Many of the dwarves here suggest that we cannot win this battle. What shall we do?

Our attempts to fire our T-bows at the Doomwheels fail, they start moving incredibly fast, and even run over many ratmen themselves! However, when they reach our lines, the shieldwall that was just barely holding back the tide of ratmen just crumples beneath them. The holes in the line left by the Doomwheel are swiftly exploited by the rats at that point and they start breaking apart our shield wall formation with relative ease. Needless to say, these Doomwheels and the Ratman attacks kill many dwarves and even more trolls. We are starting to take heavy casualties... What shall we do?

With the help of Grayview's necromancers, they are able to hold the line and ensure that everyone is able to get out of the area. The undead delay the ratmen long enough to allow us to retreat with minimal casualties. On the bright side, we were able to retreat, although we suffered heavy losses. There are no estimates on the amount of casualties that the ratmen took, the general agreement is that they took 5,000 in casualties.

On the other hand, another 1,500 trolls and 1,500 dwarves have died leaving us with 4,000 troops total. This battle was certainly a defeat for us, the numbers of the ratmen were simply too great for us to overcome, they had a home turf advantage, and we had seen their destructive weapons of war used against us for the first time. We were not prepared.

The rats are written into the book of Grudges...

Eventually, we return to the Deep Dwarf capital and inform them of what they've seen. The King of the Deep Dwarves, Dorgran Ratslayer has a few words of warning.
"The ratmen hordes are endless, at least from what I've seen. They're the most cunning pieces of shit alive and it's annoyed me ever since. The war will never end, that capital will be rebuilt in less than a year and the Ratmen's numbers will multiply. I'm not entirely sure if we'll ever win this eternal war against the Rats. However, the good news is... The Fronts have been stabilized and your job here is done."
With that, we return home, due to the fact that we simply do not have the capacity to continue this war.

In total, we lost 3,750 Trolls and 2,250 Good Dwarves, may they rest in piece deep within the earth.

As we continue to improve on armor, we realize that our lamellar armor is indeed perhaps enough to protect our own body, and instead we look towards protecting the head. Yes, the Corinthian helmet provides excellent head protection, but it is heavy, bulky, and restricts vision as well as hearing. Our smiths create a new kind of helmet called the Chalcidian helmet. It is far lighter, and improves vision as well as hearing immensely. While this comes at the cost of pure protection, many of our soldiers prefer it over the Corinthian Helmet due to it's lower weight.

In international news, it appears that the war against the ratmen has ended against the deep dwarves, the rats have retreated... For now.

In the lands of Eternal Winter, new developments arise as well, Mammoths are now a more frequent occurrence in addition to already existing yetis. No signs of sentient life have been found on the continent, although our dwarves do not venture far from the hold and town at all due to the environmental Dangers.

We begin to create a new tradition, to establish a great hunt to celebrate the occasion of the election of a supreme senator. While it is really only the highest levels of our society that are allowed to attend this hunting expedition, it certainly will be enjoyable for everyone involved.

In other news, event roll.

It appears that several events have occurred this year, and indeed it is interesting.

The mermen have gone to war with the Dongs, challenging them for control over the seas, as far as we know the war has only begun in earnest, and both sides have not fully committed themselves.

In addition, we have received news from the Dragonforge, very surprisingly, it appears that a group of miners has unearthed a dark evil resting deep within the Earth... It is called a Balrog, and is a greater Abyssal demon. It is currently rampaging through parts of the Dragonforge, and is desperately seeking a way to the surface... The Dragonforge has stated that it will attempt to contain all damage, but to be on high alert for a massive rampaging flaming demon, they claim you literally cannot miss it.

As if things couldn't get any worse, we've stopped getting reports from our dwarven colony in the lands of eternal winter.

We send our envoys out into the dragonforge, and they state that the situation is being dealt with as they speak, the Worldshaper had deployed two titans and an elite battalion of "titan slayers" complete with FYTs and T-bows meant to specifically combat massive creatures such as this. The Balrog will be dealt with in due time, they simply encourage us to be on the look out and be prepared to evacuate civilians should the balrog reach the surface.

As for the military expedition we send our entire navy, and load it up with as many troops as we can, in specific we send along almost the entire first legion of the Serene Valley to Investigate. It takes some time to reach, and even the islanders themselves are worried. Once we enter the bay, we see the smouldering ruins of the town in the distance. The Hold itself is visible, and it seems to have been heavily damaged. The gate is intact on the bright side. All around we see massive footsteps in the snow, and slaughtered dwarves...

If you wish, one of your characters may be here, if you wish you can interact, and roll for an action if you deem it necessary.

You two manage to find a small, hidden room within the hold where approximately 100 men, women, and children were. Most of the men are by now old, and others seem to be injured significantly. It appears that they had been living off of bare-bones rations for about two weeks now. Most of the men in fighting shape ran off to protect the town.

After interrogating the survivors, it appears that they came under attack by some giant blue-skinned creatures. They weren't affected by the cold at all. Rather, they embraced the cold... Not wearing much at all. They ravaged the town greatly, but after coming to the hold, after they couldn't break the gate or get over the walls they chose to break off the assault and flee northwest. Many people were killed, while others were hauled off in large sacks by the Frost trolls.

>>2783528
You attempt to follow the tracks, but choosing not to head too far, you find that they head far northwest, and in the distance they could see a plume of smoke rising. The Town is successfully secured, and the hold is thoroughly checked.

Our troops are deployed to assault the area where a plume of smoke is rising, and manage to find a small-ish town of large creatures... They're apparently giants, but bigger than your average troll. What's even more puzzling is that looking from a distance, there appears to be many dwarves walking around freely, although their skin is blue, much like that of the giants. The tracks lead to this town, so this must have been the location where they carted off the civilians to. How shall we approach this?

The raid begins, and while we catch the frost giants off guard, they simply begin stomping us down, while we kill several, mostly unarmed frost giants they seem to be very capable of attacking us even without weapons, using their superior size to kill us with stomps and such. What's worse, is that the blue dwarves are attacking as well uttering only the words "For the Masters" which is really unsettling. However, we continue to fight on. Most of the giants still don't know what hit them and are still surprised.

As we begin a renewed advance through the town, it appears that the element of surprise has disappeared, and the men within the village begin to take up arms. We have also spotted the Dwarves in sacks, they appear to be near the center of the town, just in front of what looks to be a town hall! We've properly organized ourselves into a Phalanx formation and are now fighting through the streets hoping to take down the frost giants.

The Giants are now attempting to flank us, several of them are trying to go through the streets and around our phalanx formation to hit us from behind, meaning that we are very vulnerable. Up in the front, it appears that the frost giants are indeed formidable foes, although we have managed to kill a few of them, mostly women and children. That leaves us with the question, what shall we do?

>A. Deploy some troops to the back to prevent the giants from flanking us

We continue to press through the Frost Giant's superior strength, stabbing some in the bellies, while others are killed by being stabbed so many times that they simply cannot take the pain. Our T-bows are also effective, especially when they hit the heads of the Giants. The attempted flanking attack is intercepted by our troops as well, and is quickly stopped. The amount of Frost giants attacking us is slowing down, it appears that they are throwing all they have in this attack!

After some thorough looting, you find a small book complete with information on the Frost Giants. It appears that this landmass is called Thalanheim. This appears to be the homeland of the Frost Giants, who have been unified under a leader known only as "The Lord of the Lost Lands." The frost giants are the predominant race on this continent, however there is a significant dwarven presence here. There are also humans and elves here as well, although the humans and elves are smaller in number. Far smaller. The frost giants have formed their own nation that in the book are also named "Thalanheim." The frost giants also possess a unique skill named "Enthralling." Frost giant magicians, given time to perform a ritual can turn other races into mindless thralls to do their bidding for them. We have no idea how large the nation or continent is in and of itself, but it is certainly large. This entire continent is engulfed in eternal winter, and all the giants, as well as the humans and elves all worship a deity known as "The Binder." The Dwarves worship a deity known as "The Worldshaper."

As we return home, we receive saddening news. The Balrog was slain indeed, however the victory was bittersweet, for one of the Titans had died, giving his life to ensure that the Balrog would not be released into the surface to wreak yet more havoc.

In elven-related news, it appears that they too have developed a "repeating T-bow" it appears the arms race between the Drakes and the elves is ramping up greatly.

We encourage immigration to the winterlands from all dwarven nations, and really, it is mainly the poor and destitute that come there to try to make their fortune, at least from the other nations. As for our own people, hundreds of people migrate, forcing the people there to both expand the town, the port, and the hold. Many are curious as to how this new land is and of course wish to make their fortune in crystal mining. While the recent raid did worry many people, the larger garrison at the Winterlands certainly ease many people's worries.

It is also faction project time.

Many of the Dongs take a liking to you as well as the Serene Valley. It was the Serene Valley that removed the enemy of Heboranaz, at least for a while. Regarding their war, it appears they are the dominant naval power in the southern seas, second only to the mermen who do not use ships, therefore do not really have a conventional navy, meaning the Dongs are the strongest navally. It's a bit complicated but you eventually get it. They appear to be fighting with the mermen, and the issue with this is that the Mermen have an advantage over them. So far the fight has been going in the Mermens' Favor.

We begin to construct a state run magic school, right in the heart of Koropolis! This school certainly is different from the Academy of Necromancy, here the elemental schools are taught. Water, Air, Fire, Earth, and Light. We do not know enough about Dark to teach it in the school, but it is expected that once Dark is thoroughly researched it will also be added in the curriculum. Plenty of students (usually those from the upper classes) plan to enroll in this school.

In international news, Heboranaz has demanded Bereksus from Jerefemen. Jerefemen declined the offer, and from what we can tell Heboranaz had backed down. However, Operation Tailgate Agents inform us that Heboranaz has been selling large amounts of weapons to the Mermen fighting the Dongs, and in addition to that they have sent their entire navy as "mercenaries" to help fight the Dongs.

Regarding the Dongs, they are requesting naval ships, there is no worry about the Mermen coming on land, however at sea the Dongs have already lost plenty of ships and would like to have more. They will pay well for support. How shall we support them?

I propose we send half of our navy and raise a new legion, the 3rd, which will be better trained at naval warfare for this conflict

The academy that Stou and I own could be the main training ground for the new legion

Half our navy is deployed to help the Dongs in the fight against the Mermen and the Heboranazi Drakes, while our Third Legion will be raised in due time. We are not sure how long it will take until the Third Legion is fully raised, and it might take long enough for them to miss the war entirely. It will be useful for naval engagements certainly. The Dongs pay us well for our support.

Internationally, It appears that Troll attacks on the Northern Walls have been rising. Troll attacks against the United Dominion have also been reported. Meanwhile in Stagmun and Rothan, both border states between the Trolls and the dwarven heartlands, a worship of a being known as "The Deceiver" has arisen, and the Dragonforge has sent "Inquisitors" meant to deal with these beliefs accordingly.

Your investments in underground farming technology go well. You start to breed plenty of Mushrooms in the underground. The most notable innovation is that you are able to acquire a breed of Mushroom called Darkwort that is very edible, and capable of growing three times as fast as normal mushrooms.

After some thinking, our people realize that in order to standardize our way of production, we need to also standardize the casts and the way we construct things. As a result, we begin to create Molds out of clay and earth. These molds ensure that our casts and our smithing is standardized, and reduces the possibility of Error when our dwarves continue to Smith.

In other news, The Drakes have gone to war with the elves once more, seeking to take over the rest of the lands in Manstetus, and seeking to annex the entirety of the southern edges of the mana wastes, increasing their power yet more.

In addition to this, The Dragonforge has started its own campaign against the ratmen, seeking to take over areas where the ratmen have made their nests and expand dwarven influence in the underground.
