The news was not good. The battle with Caelum went awry and although 9 of 11 Mammoths perished, the battle was lost.
And the Abysians, having feigned friendship, stabbed deep into Ulm. Two provinces lost.
Time to hie for the hills, thought StormCrow. Turtle until the winds of fortune changed. Although at this time the Abysians appeared to be unbeatable. Not without a coordinated alliance against them. The potential members of which Ulm had already mightily upset.
As he started laughing, StormCrow reflected that Diplomacy was NOT his strongest suite!
It would be a GOOD day to die!
