Turn 18

Chalid was defended by 18 enemies, 50% of them being knights. Most of the militias were mindbLasted, but 4 of the knights were able to get into close combat range. They were bLasted and beaten on the following turn without being able to cause serious damage. The routing knights were chased and killed in addition to the remaining militias. My mage managed to successfully use enslave mind on one of the paralysed knights .

2 Bloodslaves were found in Dunheim and 5 Bloodslaves were found in Gol Phalas. Since I can’t recall how many slaves one of my scouts is able to hold and my scout in Gol Phalas is at 29 (his inventory looks to be fairly full) I will send him back to R’lyeh to place the slaves in my lab.

I keep bloodhunting in Dunheim (28)


My mage Qithas and his troops will return to Nifel in order to either support the siege of Abysia or to support an attack on Gol Ryepe (46) later.

In Abysia my prophet continues to preach, the dom is down to -1 and I will send my newly recruited priest (1As, 1N) with some troops (1 Greater Otherness, 3 Illithids and 6 Lobo Guards) to support the preaching/siege.

Pangaeas spreading dominion to my east is not making me very happy, I think I will move against Pangaea next, after Abysia is destroyed. On the one hand this would eliminate my Last competitor for the south/middle part of this map, but I can’t be sure how far they have already expanded eastwards.

A more conservative option would be to gobble up the numerous indi provinces surrounding my little empire, but I prefer to weaken my enemies while I try to strengthen my position.

I soon have to build up a second task force in order to speed up my expansion. Getting another astral 4 mage would be nice to lead that second task force. Otherwise I will have to stop my acashic record research program in order to build 1-2 astral caps.

I am giving the Clam to one of my star child researchers.

I will recruit a starspawn mage and another Star Child in addition to 3 Illithid Soldiers and 1 Illithid.

To be continued...
