The Last Breath
 

The Ancient Seraph views the carnage around him. Bodies of burnt, broken, and mishapen enemy jaguars litter the battlefield, some of them struck down in the midst of shapeshifting. Fallen eagle warriors with their false wings attest to the enemies' aspirations of flight.

News came to him of similar successes from other raiding parties, but also of heart wrenching defeats. Of the seven carefully planned raids, four have succeeded and three have failed, a far too costly undertaking considering that surprise was on their side this time.

He had given a good accounting of himself this day. But he is old, his body wracked with disease, his eyes dulled by cataracts, his tired spent wings could no longer lift him up into the sky. He had flung his last thunder this day. He lies back down to experience the breathtaking sunset one last glorious time. Tomorrow, the battle will go on without him.

Under the waves there was joy unconfined as news that the last of the heretics who dared to defy The Great Panjang's Benevolence have broken, abandoned by their false prophets by the Divine Righteousness of Panjang Himself. The minionry, so long chafing under the rule of the deviants, can finally look forward to peace and the rebuilding of their homes. The sharks wept.

Yet, Panjang is uneasy.

Already have the land dwellers on their mysterious hoofed steeds laid claim to the seas that are His by Right. Though they have learnt to venture into the waves no more, Panjang knows that greedy eyes forever lurk from without, looking for the chance to enslave his minionry. Next time, they may come without warning in greater numbers and power.

Panjang will have to learn about the surface world. Panjang will have to seek friends and teachers.

Any chance I could get a 24 hr extension? I suppose that a stale at this point wouldn't make much of a difference (and are we on a 48 hr schedule anyway?)

Re: The Last Breath
 

We are on a 48 hour schedule. Do you need an additional 24 hours?

Re: The Last Breath
 

Ah, no, I should be able to get a turn in sometime tomorrow.

Man would like to thank Eriu for their temporary stewardship of our second fortress - it's in almost the same condition as we left it - and also for the dramatic lightning storm son et lumiere they put on to welcome us home. We're busying redecorating and hiring new staff already.

We're also very grateful over the last few turns for all the magical equipment their thugs' corpses have donated to our heroes.

Yes indeed, the reenforcement I sent snuck in and hid in the bushes to watch the show (still there now). Quite pretty it was with all the flashing and banging. :/

Astrologer Monthly:

1. Ctis had a 2d/2misf dominion scales, resulting in the ruin of many a province. Never ever take misf and death, as that makes for some very ugly depopulating random events.

2. Arcoscephale annexed a couple Eriu provinces to determine what scales a good nature race had. 3 death!!!??? Oh you cruel evil heartless taskmaster. How can you expect your people to worship you when you punish them so?

3. Bandar Log is the only race to not face war. Will that turn out to be a wise or foolish strategy? The stars will not tell all of their secrets.

4. Will the infamous Dr. P perish in a 3 way squeeze between Davy Jones Locker, the righteous crusade, and winged Angels?
For now he still draws breath.
