The turkeys of Mictlan were sent on a special mission to apprehend two heroes of Man who are suspected of possessing various contraband, including Magebane, Virtue, the Aegis, the Tartarian Chains, The Sickle Whose Crop is Pain, Aseftik's Armor, Krupp's Bracers, and other toys that rightfully belong in a museum instead of being hoarded by Man. The lands of Man are vast indeed, that they span two continents, and range from the mountains of the far North to the deserts of the Southwest and Southeast!

Ships are too damned expensive to make, and Mictlan would never dream of disturbing the neutral nations lying between us. So, flying turkeys was the best we could do on short notice. However your heroes were nowhere to be found when we arrived.

We were very impressed by the spirited defense your Mother of Avalon mounted against the Earth Elemental that attacked her. Little sprites killed my rock! Her subsequent demise was unfortunate, after such a heroic performance. We will eat some magical jungle mushrooms to contact the spirit world and sing her praises.

As for the castle in the mountains, Mictlan advises that you abandon all lands formerly belonging to TC, since they are devoid of peasants and pretty much worthless. With your superb scales, there should be plenty of peasants for your nobles to occupy themselves with in Man's homelands. Please, take the example of Brave Sir Robin to heart, and run away. You will prevent much suffering and bloodshed by doing so.
