Turn 74
Good News! Bogus and his cohorts died easily. Here's a shot of Bogus just before he fell to the combined blades of Devarama and Balastha.
Sadly my troops only managed to salvage one magic item from the battle: Bogus' Greenstone Armour. Still, this is a fine memento of this conflict.
Ananda's much vaunted ethereal crossbow is not so impressive: he only managed to kill one enemy before retreating! Vanheim counter-attacked and took one of my border provinces I wasn't really defending.
I summoned some Gandharvas this month, and will summon more this month, and then next month (hopefully) attack. I also summoned a great eagle, because why not?
I myself am traveling to the front to oversee the preparations.
