Thanks for the staff, just tell me when you want it back.

Given what seemed to happen in 26 recently, I think first Hinnom and later Jotunheim tried to take it from the Special Monsters but there's a bunch too many of these there.
Hinnom is happily swimming in the eastern sea, but its main forces are cut from it...

And woot! 71, 69 and 59 are white forts besieged by white forces!
I'm building a lab in 63, for there lies the mighty fortress of the Pyriphlegeton, or whatever its name, which means I can buy F1 mages for 60 gold and F3 for 180, who will help my research a bit without needing a castle - F3 mages will be nice for flaming arrows too.
