Diamond Dog Fortress Campfire No.412260[Last 50 Posts] >>412261
The party stands at the base of a tall mountain with roughly twenty other diamond dogs and a buffalo hooked to a wagon.The top of the mountain is shrouded by clouds, and below them is the reason you are all here: a small village populated by goats that you have learned about from goat merchants. The sides of the mountain a steep, but the strong paws of a diamond dog should be able to find purchase there. A large waterfall hangs frozen off the side of the mountain like a glittering vein of diamond. Cut into this frozen waterfall is a winding staircase with plenty of landings to stop and rest on. Next to it is a curling slide large enough and sturdy enough to be able to take the wagon being hauled by the buffalo slave. Switch's squad of marksdogs gather around her and asks for orders while Crunch's squad gathers around Boyar for the same reason.
It is snowing lightly, adding to the already knee deep snow on the ground.

"Alright, but it might not be possible if the rest of the militiadogs just want to rush in. If possible, when scouting the town, can the dogs pick up some burnables and place them so the wind takes the smoke into the town? It'll blind the inhabitants, and we could use the shock as an opportunity to demand their immediate surrender."

"I'll volunteer myself. Staying back here in the cold doesn't suit me."

"Looks like he followed us."
The diamond dog points at part of the mountain that is hidden from sight to anyone standing at the bottom of the staircase.
"Start there. Dig in a little ways then dig us a way up. Every few lengths dig close to the surface so we can poke a hole and peak out."
She folds her arms over her chest.

Your large paws easily dig through the snow and rock hidden underneath. You carve our a path wide enough for diamond dogs to walk single-file fifteen feet into the mountain. The bitch speak from the mouth of the tunnel.
"Good boy. Now dig up. Make us a staircase and mark the spots that are close to the surface."

You dig upwards at an even pace and leave large, rough steps following you in a spiral shape as your claw your way through the insides out the mountain. Every time you can feel the stone beside you grow thin you gouge an X on the wall with your claw. After nearly an hour of digging you feel yourself drawing close to the top of the mountain.

You can see that the waterfall does not go all the way up to the clouds that are hiding the top of the mountain. Instead, it stops and leaves a stretch of mountain that looks empty from down below. If you had to guess, you'd say the goat village was somewhere between the clouds and the top of the waterfall.

"What do you mean, boss? Follow Switch outside or follow the dig dog through his tunnel?"
You are and you do so. With the help of your squad you make a pile of the branches where it will be out of sight of the village.
If you light these they will know something is up before the smoke has enough chance to negatively affect them.

File: 1369008982307.png (35.11 KB, 1292x1548, Goat Town map.png)
The war party has gathered behind the cover of a snowy hill. Beyond this hill is the town that consists of four large houses and one long building. Each are made of timber and each have steeply sloping roofs. A gravel road travels from the buildings and splits in half once it leaves the small town. One road loops around the snowy hill and leads to the frozen river and waterfall. The other travels through a thick group of evergreens and up into the mountain. The town itself is built around one enormous evergreen. In the streets are two adult goats and one kid. It is impossible to tell their genders from this distance.
Next to the war party is a bundle of branches made by Aidi to create a cloud of smoke. With a few more branches brought up from the base of the mountain or taken from nearby trees it could be made large enough to blanket the town in smoke. This would alert the goats that something was wrong and hinder fighting done by either side in the smoke cloud, but it could also divert their attention to allow for an attack from the flanks or give archers a chance to pick off targets with less risk to themselves.
There is an alternate approach from higher up the mountain (to the right) thanks to Barkspawn.
The two squads, including their leaders Crunch and Switch, number twenty diamond dogs.
The chain of command is as follows:
Boyar
Crunch and Switch (to their respective squads)
Moloch
The other PCs that have been here since day one
Everyone else

You and your dogs advance to the top of the hill and fire at the targets on the edge of the cloud. Most of the arrows hit their targets. One goat falls to the ground and starts screaming in pain as three silver headed arrows bite into its unarmored side. Another goat disappears into the cloud of smoke as two arrows bite into it. The bowstring snaps as one of the dogs draws her bow two far back. The bow opens a large gash on the side of her head as it loses its tension.

The force of the ram causes the tree to tip over where gravity takes control and pulls the tree out by the roots and down the hill. The ground the archers are on, no longer stabilizes by roots, collapses under the weight of the goats who fall nearly one hundred feet down the mountain side.

Working carefully, You and Barkspawn dig up one more level and start to remove the stone attaching your plug to the rest of the ground. You count down with your fingers, and as you reach zero each of you strike the last two piece of rock holding the plug up. There is a loud crash as it falls, but very little dust. Looking down both of you can see that the plug fits into the hallway like a puzzle piece. Once the two of you tell the miners what you did and how you did it they are able to help you block the other cavern in the same manner.

Many diamond dogs and slaves are walking across it carrying stones and buckets of rock rubble.
"This is what merchants will first see when they enter our fortress, Alpha. We plan to dig small alcoves into the walls and place statues there, but that is for later. If we are ever attacked the bridge will be raised and force any attackers to walk along thhis long, winding, and very slick walkway while being fired on from being the fortifications to the north.

There are also barrels of food and drink in a third corner. Memory's gem headpiece sparkles in the light as she talks.

You have all the mechanisms you need: levers, gears, locks, etc. You could use chains if you wanted, but gears hidden inside the earth and attached to the bridge could let it be raised as well.
"Master, the books you gave me to read say the first thing we should do is find a place to keep the lever that will raise and lower the bridge. If you will pardon me for suggesting things, but I have heard there will be a barracks overlooking the bridge area. Placing the lever there may be a good idea."
She bows her head and hoofs at the ground apologetically.
"Any place out of sight of the bridge would be good though, so long as invaders can't reach it."

"Good girl, Gem. I knew it was a good idea to teach you. You might even have a talent for the craft, with enough work."

The dog that said this cracks his knuckles.
Green sees you inching towards her and stops talking to the mare, who continues to play and splash with the colt.
They are all scrubbing themselves, occasionally letting some water flow out and letting new water pour in.
"At least we don't need to teach them anything to mine, right?"

I just gave and odd glance at that dog who cracked his knuckle's.
"Just go light, or heal them on dog healers afterwards." I smile.
While still submerged, I then lift Green and put her on my lap.
"This pony of mine." Hug her tight. "Is a natural trap maker after a week of teaching. She is good enough to know how to make traps, dont you?" I boop her nose with mine.

"Of course I'd take 'em to the healers. No point in having a slave you can't work."
She smiles and nods."Yes, Master. You are a very good teacher."
"Only a week?"
"She must be pretty smart."
"Do you have her remember things for you, or is the other dig dog the only one that does that?"
"Is he your brother or something?"

I nod at this.
"She is good, just help Bark installing the glass draw bridge." I smile.
I nod at this.
"She is good, just help Bark installing the glass draw bridge." I smile.
I then go near her ear and whisper.
"I want to go inside Green, pony is beautiful with wet mane."
I then hug her tighter while she is on my lap and position my pole at her entrance ready to pierce her anytime

"Statue's? Bark didnt know we are making statue's at dog forts entrance."

Lower her into my shaft. With that settled I just let her sink into me until she is totally buried deep but I wont move my hips. Instead I whisper again.
"Bark wants you to massage Bark below there if Pony muscle can."
I then shift a bit to make her comfortable

You think you spot one of them glance at you oddly as you push Green down into the water a bit and whisper to her.
"Yup. Statues at the bridge, statues in the trading room, statues at the top of the stairs, statues on the way into the new dining hall."
"That place is enormous! We just came from there, actually."
"You should see what Kopaz made in the ingredients storage room."
"He did a surprisingly good job with them."

You have to push her down some in order to get all the way in. Spring Green nods her head.

"He's the other dig dog. You really don't know him?"
"Hehe, you're holding her like a pup holding a stuffed animal. Maybe I should get a personal slave for mine."
The diamond dog that had his eyebrow raised speaks.
"Bark, how about you replace the water this time? It's starting to get too cool."
"He's the other dig dog. You really don't know him?"
"Hehe, you're holding her like a pup holding a stuffed animal. Maybe I should get a personal slave for mine."
She nods and leans against you as you hug her. You can fell her warmth and the beat of her heart, and while it is relaxing neither is very exciting.

"As long as Dog teaches them and takes care of them good, Bark has no reason to protest to anyone for having their personal slave."
I then look at the other one with wide eyes and a bit of panic.
"Y.. yes, Bark will see."

"Snack will have to slowly lift Green up and make it discreet, help Bark at this please pony." I whispered to her frantically.
Slowly slide myself out of her."

"Maybe a buffalo. It can keep the pups warm, carry 'em around, squish bushwoolies."
"Where do you think you are going to find the room for a buffalo?"
"In one of those big new rooms, stupid."
"If I stay in her much longer no amount of soap is going to get rid of that wet smell."
Two diamond dogs get out of the tub and shake off before drying with towels and leaving.
The diamond dog raises his paw out of the water then lets it drop.
"Thanks, Bark."

She relaxes as much as you can as you pull her off of you. You keep it as slow as you can without arousing suspicion, and both of you keep your faces straight despite the pleasurable sensations coming from below. As you let more water pour into the tub she lets some of the water out then hurries out then hurries to your side She stays between you and the others as the water becomes a bit clearer.

"Speaking of that, thanks for all your help with the digging so far. If we had five more of you the project would be almost done."
"I think that's it for us. I'm going to grab some grub and hit the hay."
Two more diamond dogs get up and leave while the third leans over and starts scratching the pony's ears. The only ones left are the diamond dog who asked you to refill the tub, and the slave.

"Me and a buddy made it to…wash ourselves and the slave after our shift was over, then the others found out about it and took it over."
He glances at Spring Green, still in your lap, then at her colt, who is running around the tub rim with a towel dragging behind him. He pulls the mare closer and starts washing her mane.
