Attackers: Siege Equipment

17 (+3): The attackers have completed defensive barriers around their camps on the East and West side of the city, making it much harder to raid or guerilla fight against them. However, the defenses on the East side are not completely finished yet

The attackers currently have a large number of ladders, ropes and grappling hooks as well as log rams to try and batter down the gate. Attacks by skirmishers at least on the west side are no longer very effective due to attacker defensive perimeters.

Defenders: City Defenses

11 (+1): The city seems to be coming together, but are falling behind - something needs to happen on the inside to get better organized, and all involved are slowly starting to realize this fact. Wagons have been set up by the gates with spikes to form kill zones even if the enemy should manage to break down the gate.

The walls are manned and towers equipped with ballista's and catapults. The city has reinforced the gates and has magical protections.

Defenders: Supplies

15 (-1): Pirates and Sahuagin continue to raid the seas, severely limiting sea-based goods. Some ships still manage to slip through but it is difficult.

A supply train by land tried to get past the defenders but failed to get through, getting captured by orcs. However, the orcs have some trouble navigating between East and West, and an attack on orcs crossing the river managed to capture the orc supplies for the city! (+3)

Additionally, a ship from Bloodport has signaled it is ready to run the blockade if it can get support from the city, promising more supplies to arrive - if a team of heroes can help them break through, they can bring in some supplies.

The city is using 6 supply each week and receiving 2 as the land routes on the Eccles and Voran side are blocked by the orcs and hobgoblin and Sahuagin pirates cause issues for sea-based shipping, for a net -4 per week.

Attackers: Hoard Size

140% (+10%): The horde has grown in size and now occupies both sides of the river, holding firm as new orcs, goblins and other creatures keep flocking in.
