Just think how less entertaining the world will be without us! Our comedic value alone warrants intervention. - Sent from iPhone while wife shops

Oh, how I wish I could help... But the bastion of civilization that is Bogarus is also under attack by all kinds of savages.

Re: Ossericiad
 

While the priests of Amanozako are waiting for the "Great Awakening" cooped up in the besieged Crystal Citadel, they have glimpsed passages from the black tome that is the Ossericiad.
After all they do get tired of watching the Elephants fornicate. Allowed shuddering glimpses of an ancient "mythology" filled with unholy rites and demonic invocations, the priests prey for the day of Amanozako's deliverance.

That day will come soon the signs are ominous.

Re: Ossericiad
 

If Jomon has not eaten them yet (how long can this damn siege last?), you should hang onto those copies of the Ossericiad because the barbarians are burning the great library in Babylonia and only a few copies remain.

It appears Arcosephalean elephant meat is a delicacy in Tien Chin. Six prime specimens were devoured like cows in a pirahna pond by their horde of barbarian calvary.

We predict Tien Chin's barbarians will one day cover the world in horse patties!

Re: Ossericiad
 

One ancient fortress of Ulm has fallen into the hands of the sea and ice dwellers. I hope they enjoy the fires we made before we left by the escape tunnel.

Two fortresses still stand, the great city of Ulm and the citadel of Typhalia. But fear has broken out in the city of Ulm as the falls have begun to crumble. Soon the fires of Abysian hell will fall upon us.

Abysian assassins have also begun stalking the city at night as the illuminated Ofagion found out. He blasted the intruder with fire from stars and the slayer was no more.

Day 140 of the siege. Terror! A great hunger has broken out in the city! The guardians defending the walls have begun cannibalizing their dead comrades and promptly turned into ghouls as punishment for their crime. On the bright side they are no longer starving.

Re: Ossericiad
 

That assassin was indeed weak, and did not deserve his title. He will never rise as a smoulderghost for the glory of Abysia, unlike the Warbred who accidentally ate an undead ulmish cat recently.

Sign on the Arcos capital:

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE!

MASSIVE MARK DOWNS!

EVERYTHING UP TO 90% OFF!

AFTER 28 MONTHS OF BUSINESS, WE ARE LIQUIDATING!

Geraldos Riveros reporting live from Arcos:
Caelum has joined the barbarian alliance. Tien Chin is offering Arcos territory to other nations that it has yet to even acquire. The gates of civilization shall fall soon to a sordid band of savage horseman and humanoid chickens!

On the northern front, the elephant breeding grounds have been restored and the elephants are back to their daily rituals with the statues of Amonozako. While the coffee shop Arcos hippies are happy about this, they don't seem to realize the heavy price paid for the elephant's future as Jomon fields a massive army to the west, ready to strike down with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy his brothers.

Beware the growing power of Tien Chin. We think their legions of ancestor vessels, spirit spamming mages, and heavy barbarian calvary will one day rule the world, even more so when they come to enjoy the rich troves of magical gems, forge bonus magic sites, and fabulous indie wizards we have discovered in Arcos!
