Dwarves of Schnellbeil

Post by Mephistopheles »

It was just a normal training... Captain Caldarion had us down in the arena where we sparred for a time... Until we heard the sound of the Schnellbeil clan to the south. The militia met at the market, many were ill prepared to go into a full scale battle. with frantic eyes many looked to the captain. "well, this is what the Militia is for isnt it?" He says almost encouragingly, so the ragtag militia go to meet the threat.
So we met them head on, felling their fire spouting priests and hammer wielding warriors alike, and easily breached the fortress, it was almost... too easy. Their leader wasn't there, a sure sign that it wasn't over and that we most likely walked into a trap. Yet most of us lacked the experience to see these details, so we went back hoping the Don would give us some kind of order. The Don was asleep so we waited a short time, time enough for the dwarves to regroup at their fort. We head back, why? Don't know.. Maybe because we knew it wasn't over, that we had to capture their leader to put an end to the attacks. Again, we made it easily to the fort only to find that reinforcements were plenty and that the militia was pinned by a clever pincer strategy, dwarves at our front and then dwarves again at our back and more coming from the mountain caves. Some brave men rushed into the fray only to be quickly overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The Militia was forced to retreat.
Regrouping yet again only to find that one of them had been captured, some few would not accept this, and others wanted to take their leave and rest. The Don had called for the Captain and we headed there. A long discussion, The Don being more worried about his resources than his own men. Eventually the captain and yet another ragtag attachment of militia met the dwarves. This time though the dwarves had set traps.. Carefully making way again to the top and with more order we again met them head on. many fell on both sides, until four members of the militia remained to fight. The Captain Caldarion, Vern Burnhammer, Erin Thorstar, and Arcia fought hard against them, but Arcia had been held down by one unarmed dwarf while a warrior dealt him a blow sending him to the cross. Him falling seem to renew the fight, and the three remaining fighters pushed harder. We slew them all.. right to their piss poor built fort, and a voice rang out which may have been their leader's, "drop yer weapons! yer outnumbered an surrounded!" We shouted back, "bring out your hostages and we'll stop! Otherwise we'll kill you all!" a small pause... "We have yer friends, Aye! If you want to see em again then drop yer weapons! NOW!" Grumbling the three beaten an bloody but still very much alive warriors put down their weapons. "Good! Now that ye put down yer weapons, yer now our prisoners!" laughing...
To their dirty vile prison mines we were escorted, only to see our friends there in binds and working. As a Guard, we had a half hit overseer who was letting men go after mining a bit. And so the three muttered and cursed and threatened yet they were forced to work as the others. But.. lucky for us, the dwarves would come on the morrow only to find us gone and the halfwit guard sitting there who had let us go.
