Attackers: Siege Equipment

20 (+1): Orc totems set up in the woods to bolster their forces were attacked and in part destroyed, though more remain. Even so, an ogre attack in the underground was destroyed by heroes who also captured some of the ogres for interrogation

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 have up forward defenses to cover an assault on the wall and quite possibly at least one siege tower.

Defenders: City Defenses

18 (+2): The city seems to be coming together and a garrison has been formed. Houses seem less divided as all are focussed on supporting the construction of defenses.

The cities bridges have been reinforced and many of the cities key streets have barricades ready to be deployed at a moments notice. A system of messengers is set up, and the bridges within the city are being reinforced!

Defenders: Supplies

5 (+0): 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 land caravan broke through to reinforce the city, bringing in crucial supplies. A token amount of supplies also arrived from South Vorus, but it was meagre pickings.

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 growth lost more Ogres, and a few goblin shamans, but not enough to reduce their number
