This is Kamekaze reporting live from the battlements via scribe who will record everything and put it in the paper while I fight. Say Hi Bob Hi Now the Enemies surround us we did not expect the battle but have been running battle preparations for the past week and know our jobs I have just finished organising the men into their lines and the battle should begin soon I have just given the order. Voices behind us are shouting "Release first volley!!" a dark cloud of arrows whistling by over head can be heard. Shields up men!!! (arrows drum against raised shields) Here they come!!! The tops of ladders can be seen over the top of the walls Kamekaze rushes forwards and kicks the nearest one down. A large boulder hurled by a trebouchet lands on a nearby pub. Groans can be heard from many nearby units and their resolve has thickened. "Bastards!! You'll pay" cries Kamekaze.
The first siege engines are reaching the wall and the men inside them are spewing forth only to be pushed off the wall along with several large rocks and boiling oil onto the enemies below. The battle rages in this way for a long time and many enemies are dieing eventually the Federations Infantry units break and begin to reteat leaving the Archers vulnerable, Kamekaze orders a charge under cover of archer fire.
We are now running headlong into the archers they are firing franticly but know that all is lost aaaarrgh. Kamekaze has just been hit with an arrow to the right shoulder, healers are converging on the spot and carrying him back behind the walls while his unit continues the charge.
The battle is over in a great victory with very little damage being done to the walls. The Caligans are just scouring the battlefield for equipment and readying the battlements for a second assault as I am writing this, Kamekaze lost contiousness and quite alot of blood but shouldbe fine in a day or two to start bossing me around-- Bob, Kamekaze's Scribe

By popular demand from rival editors I have decided to write an article. We are surrounded by 25,000 cs with more on the way. We realise that this could be the last chapter in the history of Caligus but could we defy the odds and delay that chapter. Maybe give the author a hand cramp... Next article to come when you guys decide its time to stop looting a badlandwith 1/3 of its normal population and come for the big fish. When asked what he would say to the enemy if he could see them the duke of Domus had this to say: "I will give you one last chance to lay down your weapons and proceed in an orderly fashion to Cartor's dungeons." --Kamekaze
