This edition of the Siege Status was unfortunately delayed due to me being completely swamped, apologies all!
Attackers: Siege Equipment
20 (+0): Orc totems in the woods have been destroyed and the area cleansed by the Druids
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 at least one siege tower.
Defenders: City Defenses
20 (+2): The city seems to be coming together and a garrison has been formed. Morale has risen after several exciting and fun shows at the arena provided some distraction.
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
1 (-4): Pirates and Sahuagin continue to raid the seas, severely limiting sea-based goods. Some supplies have come through but the city is essentially running out of food.
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 lost a decent amount of orcs and goblins worshipping the totems
Allies & Advantages
(+1) Troops from Bloodport have arrived to aid the city
(+1) The Arch Bishop of the Cult of Saint Theris has arrived with troops from Laudamus.
(-1) A Gnoll pack has arrived to aid the horde, managing to sneak in unmolested
(?) The Doge has offered to help break the sea blockade but is asking for something big in return. The city is yet to decide whether to accept
(+1?) The Druids have agreed to come help the city during the final battle
(+?) Eccles has called a crusade to liberate the city
It is believed that the orcs may soon assault the walls, within the next few weeks
