You know, Rabe, there's a disturbingly large Ulmish army building up on my border. For somebody who just lost his precious heroine - to indies - this disturbs me, because one tactical error begets others. And invading me would certainly be a tactical error...

Unfortunately, it would seem that you have so many priests in that province that they are actually listed as a major component of the army. Should I assume that they are for defensive purposes?

The loss of the unicorn wench is regrettable. I had some trinkets on her I hoped would keep her alive in extremis, but apparently my smiths overstated their efficacy... again. They will be chastened.

The priests are in fact intended defensively. Proof of concept, if you like. As of Last turn you has ~800 units tangent to my new castle, I just wanted to make clear how quickly they can be massed, if needed. Point taken?

They will disperse after they have dealt with the local effects of your odious influence.

Winds of freedom indeed.

Rabe, I am a very honest and trusting... um, being. I love my neighbors. But sometimes my citizens get suspicious of unusual border activity... and one thing they REALLY HATE is priests. Too darn preachy. Act all holier-than-thou, then smite you.

Anyway, if you could fill me in on your intentions... my citizens would be much more restful.

I have no intentions. Your citizens are, I agree, very much in need of a rest from their decidedly idiosyncratic state of arousal, but the time is not yet come.

I have not decided whether I am rescuing the illithids or the firefolk from their respective perils... new come to power as I am, I have not sorted out my friends from my interests.


P.S. An arrow struck one of my commanders from out of the blue. Having no flesh, it seems to have gone right through his ribcage, doing no damage! How funny! I wonder who it could have come from? [/QB][/quote]

You might check with someone else...perhaps with air sorcery at their disposal? The four elements are represented quite distinctly in our world, and air is not mine.
