Events of the 12th of Hematite.
"Captain?" inquired BurnedToast, entering Ironblood's quarters.
"Good morning, BurnedToast! What have you for me today?" asked the Captain jovially.
"Goblins actually. They're outside the gates."
"I assume you've ordered them closed, then?"
"Of course sir. But there's something you should see..."
Ironblood followed BurnedToast up to the roof of the Hammer Tower, allowing them an unsurpassed view of their surroundings.
"I see three squads, BurnedToast. So what?"
"Count their crossbowmen, sir." said BurnedToast, smiling.
"Why... oh.. OH!"
The Captain began to break down laughing, and his bellowing laugh could be heard even by the goblins, who were slightly unnerved by it.
"Three? THREE?!" shouted Ironblood.
"Yes, sir."
"They can't take us with twenty! They send three?!"
"So it would seem."
"Okay... okay. Send Nagash II to go kill them please. I'm going to go get my axe. I think it may be time for some fun." said Ironblood, smiling broadly.
