Turn 71
Success! The hideous Vampire Count was destroyed! Here is a shot of one of my Yakshinis banishing the lesser vampires.
Success also with Devarama: while scouted the province he was attacked by a Dark Knight mounted on a Griffon. He slew the Dark Knight swiftly and then left the province. Here is a shot of the action:
Honestly I think that Devarama and Balastha on their own could probably take out the raiders, but I will put together a support team to help. Ananda, the Yaksha who has a third eye, is now equipped with an Ethereal Crossbow, which means instant death for anyone hit (unless they have very high resistance to magic). Ratheldun the Elludian Stalker is heading out this turn, armed with a lucky sword (and a sword of swiftness), a pair of boots of quickness, and some missile protection. I think he should be able to take most anyone down so long as he can get to them quick enough. He's certainly going to be hard to kill, being ethereal, and having some thick armour now (18), plus pretty impressive defence (27).
Apala and Thalassa the Queen of the Sea are attacking an ocean province this month. Hopefully resistance will crumble at their arrival...
I am being slow in preparing for war - having too much fun making magical items
