Late fall would be remembered as a dark month for Arcoscephale. Just as the armies of rightousness were about to attack north into Recenna, they were the victims of a sneak attack from the same army they sought to overcome. All three myrmidons and all but one of the peLasts were overcome by the Pythium armies, and they were forced to retreat to the Isle of White Oak. There was some good news, as Syren and Lady Andromache are both safe... but the same cannot be said for Anthros.

Even worse news came from Recenna, as Lord Klepohon, unaware of the vicious sneak attack, continued with the plan to attack. While he escaped, word came from Avocca that he had been murdered attempting to return to our base there. On the Isle of White Oak, only Syren and Lady Andromache, aside seven myrmidons and 3 light infantry remain of the once great Arcoscephale army.

The only good news comes from the university, where word comes that both quickness and stoneskin have been added to Syren's repitoire of spells. This will be useful, as I have decided that our nest battle will be hers and hers alone. Mesthies will return to the capitol, leaving Lady Andromache with the remains of the army. Perhaps she can find some sources of magic on that desolate rock. It will be Syren who will exact our revenge on the armies of Pythium.

A replacement for Lord Klepohon will be summoned to the capitol. This warrior I will not waste so incautiously.
