Sleepless in C'tis: Turn 19
Everytime Void summoning is successfull one has high hopes of something great. This time, like all times save one before, the summoner defaulted:
But this aint exception. The turn 19 was full of default over all.
For example, our well planned ambush and assassination attempt of C'tis prophet, they both failed.
Shub-Niggurath, the first Vastness, indeed secured the province where it teleported, and Dagon marched his army to meet up with it... but the army of C'tis stayed put!
Ok, then there was the spell Vengeance of the Dead.
The spell needs the target to fall asleep (well suited for Dreamlands, I have to admit. Love thematical approaches), so could it be the prophet suffers from sleep deprivation or insomnia? Or, then, he just got too high magic resistance (If you look one turn back, you see in the picture that his MR is 18 at the time).
This situation leaves us again with multiple options, none apparently much better than the others. We still have not incited enough trouble to be directly in war with these hideous lizard-like creatures – which is a good thing, because it allows us some freedom of (Vastness) movement. So, we could march South and seize the indie province. It looks like a good choise, and Vastness supported traitor king Dagon should have no problem what so ever doing it. However, it would separate Gath and C'tis from each other. That is something we should not do. We need to keep these frontiers open in order to let them fight each other.
Neither are we willing to extend our supply lines and march away from the safe water province by attacking primates with yellow flags in East. Man, on the other hand, is out of question also. Overall we are not really willing to risk an open war yet. Therefore we do something completely different.
Shub-Niggurath flies North, where Robert Olmstead reported an indie province next to Abysia's seat of power. What an opportunity to spread our influence a bit without risking a direct war while doing it. It looks like a good target. We can secure several provinces around it. If Shub-Niggurath makes haste it means we can actually hope establishing a permanent presence next to Abysia's capital.
The vigilantes in the city of Glimmerin Fields managed finally root out my cultist cells. The census reported 17550 people alive the last time we heard of them. Our temples are many, however. Now we have 9 of them. Also, our troops gather near R'lyeh to march finally West.
