The ulmish command were surprised to see that the lizards had used so much pure chaff, indeed it never reached the battle proper, though the rest of the lizard infantry and assorted serpents comported themselves quite well, unfortunately they were still no match for the superior ulmish firepower.

None the less, the forts may be sieged, but the battle is not won by any stretch, ulmish scouts assure us that the lizards and their mother may yet have some surprises saved for us when the time for the assaults finally arrives.

C'tis indeed faced long odds against 2 nations, but saddly thus is the way of this world, as Atlantis can equally attest.
