Siege Status (2021-01-18)

Attackers: Siege Equipment

19 (+2): 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, plans to use local fauna to deal with defenders have failed due to heroics.

The attackers currently have a large number of ladders, ropes and grappling hooks as well as roofed and fortified battering rams to attack the gates. They are setting up forward defenses to cover an assault on the wall.

Defenders: City Defenses

12 (+1): The city seems to be coming together and a garrison has been formed. While there is still discussion about the command structure, the cities defenders are reasonably well structured now and additional defenses are being constructed.

Defenders: Supplies

16 (+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.

The city has managed to smuggle in a lot of supplies this week, including a ship from Bloodport, a mule caravan and a smaller ship from Luscre island, each bringing in additional supplies. The situation remains difficult though as 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% (+0%): 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. Some hill giants have elected to hold off on joining the horde for the moment, but they might still reinforce the horde later.
