Actually we sent a troop to his lands. A scout in fact. He is soon dead to a wasting disease

, but he managed to witness that battle in particular. We have never before heard of a MR of 29. Our priests were quite amazed. We can easily understand the frustration of the Illithids.
My scout said there were losses. And had not the Illithids continously targeted the false god (there can only be one, All Hail GrayZ!) out of fear, there would surely have been more even losses.
