Despite being the end of the world some people can't just leave the old ways behind, Ive been having wide variety of problems with the behavior of some men of the fortress towards the women...father Frederich has helped to pacify some lasses and readucate some lads but things reached a boiling point when our blacksmith Danadriel got involved, she was able to stir all the women in the fortress to protest and soon I had a rebellion in my hands.
It all began because against my orders a group of soldiers were confiscating the weapons from the women because they believed women should not fight, this ended in the death of a young lady when a small group of interlopers managed to sneak inside the keep of the fortress...so in protest they barricaded themselves in the mess hall and were refusing to let the men of the fortress eat, some lads already lost control in few hours of hunger, they were proposing to take up arms and take the food by force! this was madness, there was elderly, pregnant women and children behind that barricade, their own families! not to mention Danadriel was among them, if we used violence against her she could unleash the beast and the casualities would be imense!
I had to appeal to Agatha the witch to mediate the conflict, as a neutral individual she was able to enter the barricade and hear the rebel ladies demands, then she returned to us to negotiate, the rebels had 3 demands, first, all women and girls old enough to hold weapon should receive a weapon, second, at least 10 firearms and their proper ammo should be stored on the keep for emergencies, and lastly the strong women who can fight should be allowed to fight in the front lines.
The first two demands were not particularly hard to make the men accept...but the third one caused a riot, they were not willing to fight side by side with women for a myriad of stupid reasons, so after thinking alot I had one idea, I was planning for quite a while to create a platoon of arquebuziers for this fortress, so I proposed to give long guns to the women who wanted to fight, this way they could stay in the top of the walls away from the lads and still participate in the fight, took some convincing to put this in the small heads of some men but in the end both parts agreed on this deal.
After a week of rushed training I had a somewhat solid platoon of ranged fighter ladies, and in they proved their valor in the next dimensional storm that assailed us, their deadly volleys shred trough the interloper ranks reducing alot of the pressure over the lads holding the gates, it was a tense situation but in the end everyone got what they wanted.
