Jotunheim:Utgard AAR

[Arryn]

Turn #30, Early Fall of Year 3
A spider's weave.

Part 2 of 2

I recruit another 6 Jotun spearmen in Pythium, 2 Jotun spearmen plus 3 Jotun huskarls in Jotunheim, and Commanders in the Iron Range and Ultima Typhia. I recruit a "red" Wizard in the Black Alps. (I'm hoping for another 2E caster.) I raise 20 provincial defenders in The Promised Land. I also recruit (7) more scouts in The Promised Land, Ancyrna, Hoburgdorf, Jotunheim, Gwyrth, Eribon, and Pythium. These preparations drain the treasury of 895 coins.

I lower the taxes in The Promised Land to zero to quell the unrest caused by the battle.

The Enchantress Pladina forges Earth Boots, at a cost of 10 earth gems. The Skratti Tunne forges another Clam of Pearls, and I allot 10 water gems for the task. The Norna Rimdriva forges a Ring of Sorcery, which will consume all 40 astral pearls in the treasury.

It was a mistake to forge the Lightless Lantern Last turn. I should have forged another Sceptre of Authority instead, but I simply forgot about them until I was reminded by watching the Ashikaga battle replay. Sigh.

Ualgo, with a 11 Jotuns in tow, moves from Hoburgdorf to the seige camp at Ashikaga. Tahmar with a half-dozen fresh Jotun recruits, heads out from Pythium to Hoburgdorf.

I'm not going to go into detail on where each of my new scouts is going, or where each of my priests is preaching, as the quantity of them that I have continues to grow, and it's probably boring for you to read and it's certainly very tedious for me to write up. It should be obvious where the scouts are going from the second turn map at the bottom of this post. The location and effects of the priests can be seen from the changing candles each turn. Priests will preach down enemy dom, and preach up mine, until they max out. Then I send them on to someplace else where they can be useful.

Jorgun, my wyrm, moves from The Promised Land to Barra where I expect some two-score heavy footmen and fanatics.
