  … and then there were the Docks _Offered the almost suicidal seeming task of getting a foothold in the docks by Captains Neverith and Damien, a group of adventurers led by Seth charged into the barricaded docks, going after the N'Jasti there. A sizable part of the Black Sails contributed largely to the decisive fighting for what they claim to be their home. It took a couple of swift and lethal skirmishes against overwhelming odds for the group of just about a dozen to drive the remaining forces with their back to the water. Attentus' spells are mentioned as the deciding factor when the odds were particularly bad. Noravill Tailtreader was captured early in the fighting, and the vile man known only as the Butcher was slain as well. Eventually the fighting came to a pause at the former harbormaster's office. It was then that Lieutenant Sierra of the Far Scouts began negotiations with Nornan the Knight. The negotiations were continued and finalizd by a surrender of Kevroar to General Lavindo, the only force not leaving were the undead and the necromancer Janlyssa the Black._ Down into the Sewers _The same group with just a few new arrivals and some others taking off, grabbed some refreshment and then pushed on, sending undead who lingered on the docks into the water and forcing entry into the sewers. They trekked around in the dirt and waste for practically days. When they finally emerged they looked beyond tiredness, but their spirits were not particularly high. It's said that while everyone fought for their lives against hordes of undead and magical beasts best left in the underdark, it was the mage Ronan who had just joined the group who burnt Janlyssa to ash. But before that could happen, a boy and girl were taken back out of the sewers. It's said that carelessnes, or tiredness, or simply a lack of clear communication in the so succesful group before caused the death of their parents, as Pavel stepped onto a trap laid by the necromancer, eletrocuting them._ The Aftermath _Despite their being a lot of loot for the heroes of the day, the spirits didn't seem particularly high, as the Defenders had sent one of their own with the adventurers but she had become lost in the Sewers. Tempers flared over that, the Captains claiming neglicence on the part of the adventurers, and those in turn just staring glumly and tiredly back, having strained themselves beyond human, or even dwarven endurance. In the end, it was just three deaths that had to pay for the retaking of the Docks, Defender Private Owens, Erok from the Iron Chain Clan, and the human Ilmare. Of course, the number of slain N'Jasti are considerably higher, going as high as one hundred. People now wait for the proper celebration which is supposed to happen sometime soon._

  The gnomish scholar Caramella wanders into the crafting hall one day, quite accidentally, nose deep in a book. The fact that there's a war on seems only to have only marginally registered with the absent-minded wizard, though upon bodily bumping into a piece of an armature, Caramella's attention is yanked back to the present. She adjusts glasses and her giant, by now well worn and singed hat, squinting in fascination at the devices laid out around the hall, then promptly plunges into an enthused conversation with Benji in gnomish.

  Special Bounties _With N'Jast holding the docks as they continue to take flight in all sorts of available ships, tearing down nearby buildings for timber and sacking warehouses of trading companies for materials to build all manner of escape craft, raiders prowl the streets of the Commerce district, looting and ransacking all they can find. Small skirmishes between pillagers or even foes are common, and as the Defenders try to consolidate their position in the Civic District, General Lavindo places bounties on several remaining enemies active in and around the City._ Dead- Sergeant Klepthorn; N'Jast Slain during the Retaking of the Commerce District in the Dancing Mermaid Inn by the master of magic, Ronan Redralen, after being engaged in vicious battle with the strike force of Adventurers who bravely faced him.

  _As Peltarch's brave boys man the barricades in the Civic District, perhaps sharing jokes, or speculating on how the war will end, a darker narrative is emerging well capable of staving off these Defenders' interminable mix of precariousness and boredom. The soldiers report that at least twice, sometimes three times a day, a dark-clad elven witch materialises near the shattered ornaments of Ashald Park, and before bolt can be loosed at her - one of their number collapses, quite lifeless, eyes numbed with empty terror. The exact timing of these visits prove irregular, sporadic, but the constant possibility of the dark lady making another call is probably enough to keep Peltarch's ragged Defenders less than at their ease. People may speculate that this sorceress' attacks have not been limited to the barricades, however, as a number of unaccompanied men in uniform may be discovered lying in the streets of the Civic District in a similar condition…_

  The Lucky Ferret Inn is no more, the venerable old citadel of debauchery and sin lying in ruins after a firey bombardment from N'Jast's catapults. It is said the newly appointed barmaid Claire was rescued from perishing within by the brave actions of John Isle.

  A particularily withering response was delivered not long ago, as the enemy bombardment ended abruptly in a very loud and very bright explosion, causing a well needed cheer from the ragged Peltarch defenders. A small party of Black Sails descended the stairs from the walls a short time afterwards, grinning like mad and hauling a large device off to the Defender HQ.

  Magistrate D'Arneau, freed from most of his duties now that martial law is in place, spends his time aiding in the training of the newer recruits to the Fifth Defender Division. He discusses strategy in divine spell casting with junior officers and tactics with the senior officers. Rumors begin to circulate amongst the clerical troops that he plans to participate in the battle.

  Once again, an arrow arches high into the air, sailing south until it lands firmly in the ground next to the campfire of an N'Jast soldier. The parchment wrapped around the shaft reads simply… "LPP ~ I would like to meet with you, but I request to bring a companion, a creative being like myself. He is interested in listening to what you have to say. Please respond with your answer. One flare for myself alone, two if my companion may come as well. LP 1st M"

  Unmarked caravans still seem to push south with food products, although not as frequently now. Maybe the food shortage is hitting harder in the city and not much is left to sell, or maybe the merchants are just cautious about a huge army to get through and are holding some back.
