We decided our best course of action was to head down the front trench and see if we could tunnel through. To our great fortune, the barracks was positioned just on the other side of the rock face.
What we found inside was a horror undreamed of. Fellow dwarf lay shredded, limbs and entrails strewn across every surface. The low Moan could still be heard, and I swear I saw movement.
We set on down the stairwell and came to the the main living block. It seemed to have escaped the horror in the barracks, most likely what ever battle was fought took place else where.
