Bad news follows good news follows bad news, thus the great cycle churns. The giants proved to be craftier than we had given them credit for. After their initial army was destroyed they regrouped and rethought their strategy. Apparently they have allied themselves with a tribe of amazons, for the as our huge host of jaguar warriors marched into the giant's lands we were met not by an army of giants, but by an army that numbered 3 amazon women for every giant in its ranks. As the sky was filled with arrows the amazon sorceresses formed a powerful communion and unleashed truly horrific destruction upon the heads of our holy warriors as they struggled to cross the killing field. The few that managed to make it were met by a frozen wall of grim giantish linebackers as they continued to be decimated by the amazon hell-women. This was truly a grim day for our people...virtually all of our jaguar warriors fell amid booming giantish laughter.

Our people are known as a crafty lot as well however, and as the giants sought to press their advantage and re-invade our lands we lay an ambush for them with our flying eagle tribe warriors. Upon sighting our army the sorceresses quickly tried to form up their communion, but it was too late. Our eagle warriors swooped into their flanks, felling warrior maids with a ferocious vengeance.

Alas, their numbers were great and even with our ambush we were barely able to push them out of our lands at a grievous cost to our warriors and many of the sorceresses managed to escape. Though ferocious, the eagle tribe is not numerous and we will not be able to count on them to continue to hold the line against the arcane power of these communions. Fearing what will happen once the giants are able to regroup once again, I have ordered a deal be struck with the lower planes. This is a fearsome pact, but the bloody god commands it.

We have signed treaties with several of the arch-devils, and a gate has been opened in the holy ziggurat through which our allies enter the world. In exchange for their help, the souls of all who oppose us shall be sent to hell as their lifeblood flows into the sacrificial pits. Tremble giants, for the legions of hell march and they come for you body and soul.
