More like fowl trickery. AM I RIGHT?! (I deserve to be invaded for that )

The Bandar are quite content in sitting around with their thumbs in their asses (all 4 of them) doing nothing but burning through gems on fancy summons. I will eventually have to do something I suspect.

Nations of Forseti, we have some sympathy for Man this month. For there was what can only be described as a cl*st*rf*ck of the most ginormous proportions outside the walls of his beloved castle in the forlorn plains of Tien Chi.

A Shadow Seer of ours was just having a wee bit of a peek around the castle walls, but was caught by patrollers. He had scripted Returning, but Man's army was fierce, and an Air Elemental whacked him before he could get his spell off. How sad for our poor mage.

But that is not the end of the story! For one of the patrollers was a Spectral Mage named RotBrother, wearing Boots of Quickness and wielding the Horror Harmonica. And man, did he play that harmonica well!

RotBrother summoned Horror after Horror after Horror, only stopping when he was free to flee the battle. Man's patrolling army must have a terrible fear of solo Shadow Seers, for they had conjured up great battle enchantments to resurrect the dead, poison the living, and inflict rigor mortis.

Our Shadow Seer lay dead on the field of battle, but now Man had to fight an army of Horrors. Zhukov the immortal false god of Man was shot by his own archers three times, and was banished to his home to recuperate from the shock. The Horrors almost carried the day, but in the end were overwhelmed by undead, as Plaguetongue the Demilich still stood to provide leadership when most of Man's army fled.

Such are the great plans of Man unwound by his dabbling in arcane magics which should be left to those with a history of dealing with the perils of blood! Man is not content to rule Nature and Air, but invests his resources in the darkest and most dangerous necromancy.

A true sight!

So accurate is the situation report of the Mictlan that we have to congratulate their shadow seer for observing events to come after he's own death!

What a miraculous sight have the battle been from the perspective of the dead who rose from the stacks of men falling down to die and to come back again as the undead of men.

Many fell and never came back but now the Mictlan might be a little less eager to visit us second time! It's sad that us and horrors our nimble fingered musician summoned din't meet the Mictlan army in the field of the battle and thus we managed only to harm ourselves a bit. We wouldn't have been victorious but we would have seen the Mictlan army badly battered we hoped.

Eager to face the mictlan army in fair battle but concerned of the movements of the armies of the Agartha! Shall we face dismissal of our 3-month non-agression pact and thus face a yet another foe?

Though I would very much like to send another round of assassins at Man's commanders who are set to cast/cause a Battle Enchantment then Retreat, can we please find out if Whollaberg can play the next turn?

It probably won't do his nation a whole lot of good to stale two turns in a row.

By the way, there were a few more artifacts liberated from the clutches of Man this month. Mictlan urges the world to check your mages to see what wondrous items you can craft this month!

[Whollaborg]

Staling was one a helluva unfortunate accident, i missed it by hour (the lamaserver was a bit late to install summertime, or something i think.) But i am going to be more carefull next time!

Whollapax

Yep, that probably wasn't the best turn to stale. But glad to see you're still in the fight!

R'lyeh staled two in a row, but I don't think they are in a war. Does BigAndScary just need more time with his turns? Did his PC die again?

[vfb]

And interesting month, to say the least. Mictlan is pleased to see Rlyeh has once again waken from their slumber, but we are surprised at the manner of their return.

Micltans's scouts note that Tartarians have been spotted in the capitol of Man. If the threat Man poses to the free world was not made clear by his Forges, the clear and present danger Man poses is evidenced by his tapping the very roots of evil in Tartarus itself!

Mictlan

[Whollaborg]

Yet another nation has joined to feast on the carcass of the Man even thou there is no carcass available yet! R'lyeh's invasion on the dry land was stopped short as their abominations were wiped out of the face of the ground and the remains of their army dived back to deep, into very deepness itself.

Tartarians, no, but Prometheus Yes,
Man has called one tartarian, the Prometheus himself. For aeons has the man known the deeds of Prometheus as he is the lightbringer, the one who took the fire from the gods and gave the fire to the man.
Now he's fighting for man again!

Man is ceasing casting for a while as long as the R'lyeh is allowed to tap and to suck from the very lifeforce of the magic! This trickery surely will alter the balance in the world as the Mictlan is bogged down in vain attempt to damage the man while cowardly running away from the army of man.

We are now at war with three nations simultaneously. We would very much like to see this mess end up and evolve into peace as neither one of the three attackers are unable to make their case. Mictlan is fleeing from our army, Jotunheim fled our small taskforce and R'lyehs mighty invasion was repelled by local defence taskforce assigned to patrol some borderprovince.

Zhukov

[vfb]

We cannot deny Man's tales, they are true. Mictlan's scout indeed saw a huge Tartarian spirit towering over Man's army! But we did not stop to ask his name, for he wielded fearsome chains, and smelled of fire, brimstone, and death. Is it not wise, to flee from such madness?

One clarification though, we are not cowardly running away! We are, uh ... executing a strategic manoeuvre to reinforce the rearguard of our forces, by rapidly redeploying all units formerly in offensive positions.

Mictlan pleads with the neutral nations to join in this battle. Now is the time for action! Will you stand by, and see Mictlan, Jotunheim, and R'lyeh enslaved in the evil iron chains of the corrupted Spirit of Prometheus? Zhukov, the evil Lich overlord of Man, has even turned his own Mothers of Avalon into horrible zombie mages. Your nations may be next!

I am becoming uncomfortable sitting between the two juggernauts! Poor poor monkeys; they are gonna have to do something soon. If only we had some score graphs or someway of judging the world climate other than these theatrical stories!

I was waiting to attack the nation who got the upper-hand, but it seems so neutral to me!
