The barbarian offensive begun earlier than expected. As Ogre fireMages advanced in the city the guards as well as Order's units fell quickly. Only one of the Vikings remained. Unseen he moved away from battlefield, got into the ruins of old Blue Fist castle and locked doors. Then he locked them again and barricaded well.
Next day the city had fallen to the barbarians but the Blue Fist remained unconquerable. But the last viking knew that it is only a matter of time until they will get in somehow and he had one last mission to do. He blew the horn from the highest tower and he blew it for hours. It was known warning signal that locals repeated across the nearby deserts until it reached Order's camp far away. And the Order's armies rose and charged to Stockham to destroy barbarians as their fate shall be.

Our Eldest's Column
-------------------
The little folk have won their first battle. More than a hundred little
folk politely asked the town guards if they would be willing to let us manage
Stockdare in their stead. All two score of the guards refused our polite request;
the guards seem more disciplined and united in their choices than little folk are.
A fight ensued. I can't say my own part in that fight was particularly glorious;
I overslept, forgot my magic study, and cast the wrong spell.
Fortunately, someone, perhaps the Thane's Ring Spirits, perhaps some other protector
of the little folk, rode in to our aid. Our protectors fought in ways we would not
have imagined possible, and apparently gave battle advice much, much better than my
own to those little folk units they saw engaged. Their sage advice and their Thane
Silver swords saved the lives of many little folk, that would have been lost to my
long nap and neglect of my studies. As soon as the guards were no longer a threat,
and before we could thank them properly, those who had saved us rode out again, as
quickly as they had ridden in.
Orcish Column
-------------
We have seen Thane's Naz Gul. Well, we orcs haven't, our parents tell us we aren't
old enough to fight for real yet, and kept us away from the battle for Stockdare.
But those who were in Stockdare tell us the military expert at that battle was neither
Our Eldest nor the cheap consultant he hired, but one of the Thane Silver clad orcs.
Our Eldest apparently completely botched the magical part of our attack, and things
would have gone badly for the little folk had not fast riders clad in Thane Silver
come out of nowhere to our aid. Every one of those riders was an adult orc. We
little Orcs now know what we shall be when we grow up. We are meant to ride, armed
and armored to battle. We are meant to be protectors.
Goal achieved. Next goal, actually hold the field after a fight, so our healers can
try luring the dead back with the scents of tea and biscuits. That looks to be a
little harder,
Assistant Editor's Column
-------------------------
The Times Editor has granted my request. I shall have more time between publication dates
to beg articles from my tardy columnists. But the schedule only slows after this issue;
this issue is still on the old fast schedule. I haven't slept much since the last issue,
this issue will be scant again despite many exciting happenings in the month.

Religion Column

(Written by the High Priestess' younger but not youngest sister again this month. The High Priestess herself is busy preparing materials for orcs all throughout the little folk lands, and the High Priestess' youngest sister is still mourning a foreigner who died in the battle at Stockdare.)
this month. TheThe battle for Stockdare had mixed results. The Stockdare guardsmen did not peacefully agree to let
the little folk control the town. Many guardsmen, some little folk, and a foreign guest advanced to
their next stage of existence due to the fighting. Our Eldest forgot his lines, didn't study, and cast the wrong spell. We were saved by mystery units that came out of nowhere, slew the guardsmen, and immediately rode on beyond our ken.
We do not claim the mystery units that saved us are gods, nor that they were sent by gods. They might have been. Or they might just be agents of a civilization far more advanced than our own. Either way, whether gods or agents of a more advanced civilization, it can do us no harm to build statues in their honor in our villages and towns, starting with Stockdare. It will do no harm to have a festival every August celebrating our deliverance at the hands of these gods or these representatives of a more advanced civilization. And it will do no harm to mark some paths through the desert, to make it easier for rural little folk to go on pilgrimage to see these statues.
LFLF Column
-----------
If any of the little folk needed any more evidence of Our Eldests unfitness for office, last month should have provided that evidence. He was supposed to be directing our scouts. But all he did was direct them to stay put; they did better work without his direction. He was supposed to help us in battle. But he mostly didn't, he cast the wrong spell. He was supposed to be studying magic. But he didn't, he took the month off. The little folk need a new Eldest.
Our Eldest is claiming that we were saved by Good Mr. Hagen's Thane's Ring Spirits. But those who were there don't see any connection between our saviors and Good Mr. Hagen. Good Mr. Hagen definitely was not there in person, and it is in no way clear that those who saved our lives owe any allegiance to him.
It is also not really clear to little folk liberation front sceptics that those who saved us in Stockdare are our friends. They might just be gods, giants, or demons travelling through, about on their own affairs, with no concern for us at all. The church will surely tell us we must honor these gods, probably by paying alms to build more churches. But do the gods care whether we honor them or not? Little folk liberation front skeptics wonder.
Tea and biscuits (really good biscuits) this month as usual. Not sure what we are talking about yet, but maybe it doesn't matter much, most of you ignore our featured speakers and talk to your neighbors instead.
Obituary Column
---------------
Breth, one of the Talluorrh's, one of Brude's workers, and our guest, goblin scout 8261, were slain in the battle at Stockdare. Breth and the two workers clearly participated in our assault, and were slain by the village guard. There is disagreement among the little folk about the circumstances of our guest's death, a disagreement that it would be unseemly to bring up here as we celebrate him today. Those who survived these 4 shall remember them for the rest of our days.

"Thieves! Robbers! Murderers!"
The shout made the Gnoll village into an ant hill. The gnolls scurried everywhere, headless, heedless of apparently everything. The kobolds had appeared between the tents as sudden as unexpected, and they were taking, taking everything: tools, food, coin and life. A lizardfolk herb trader lay dead on the ground, her blood clotted with sand. A few steps further, a Gnoll smith was writhing in his death agony. The Kobolds screeched balefully, conviced they were gaining the upper hand in the midst of the utter chaos they had started in the village.
A horn sounded. Hoof beat shook the sand. Then the centaurs appeared, led by the Overlord Chiron himself. They swept into the village like water into a sinkhole. Their arrival rallied the Gnolls. Suddenly their smiths remembered the picks that had been waiting for pickup by the miners, the guard remembered their training.
And suddenly the pack of Kobolds didn't look so threatening anymore.

Tears stream from Peter's eyes. Reports say that just as his forces of orphans was about to move on the crypts to clear them out, demons descended on his amassed forces and all but wiped them out. Drying his face with the back of his hand, smearing the grim across his cheek, he steals himself and straightens with resolve: the forces of the underworld must be wiped from the face of the earth.
