Attackers: Siege Equipment

20 (+1): The orcs have spent their time rebuilding their strongpoints around the city, and scouts report they have constructed at least one large siege tower - however, it is reported they are having some struggles gathering the wood necessary as the Druids appear to be resisting the orc attackers.

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

14 (+1): The city seems to be coming together and a garrison has been formed, but many worry there is a lot of disagreement among the nobility right now. If only someone would act...

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

9 (-3): Pirates and Sahuagin continue to raid the seas, severely limiting sea-based goods. Some ships still manage to slip through but it is difficult. However, there are some questions as to the control the orcs actually have over the sea monster that haunts the area.

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, even if this week some extra supplies managed to slip through.

Attackers: Hoard Size

140% (+10%): The horde has started growing in size again
