Silvan, Running

JimMorrison · #1 July 21st, 2008, 08:19 PM

(If your scouts missed the first decisive battle between R'lyeh and Mictlan, at Pan's former capital..... Well, you may not be doing so much wondering.

Unsure what they have left, but following the reasoning that they may be more interested in doing as much damage as possible in lieu of winning - the only army I see now is marching towards my weaker flank, rather than my stronger.

And just to point out, I do feel bad on a personal level, but I cannot let my own feelings get in the way of R'lyahn war decisions. I was fast running out of people to fight other than Ermor - something I'm still not so much looking forward to.

First the mighty Van army will win back their capital, then they move on Ermor!! ...or die trying... >.<

Dear JimMorrison,

That is officially the most messed-up battle I've ever witnessed. To think, I would have won had your Vastness not been paralyzed. Of all the spells to be successfully cast twice, it had to be paralyze. Yet every mindburn happened to bounce right off. Also, your luck with mind blast is amazing. One of these days I will manage a battle where both Air Shield and Antimagic both get exectuted.

In regards to Mind Hunt, you are apparently new to the spell and are unaware of the dangers. It is why I myself haven't mind hunted your mages away. Give my regards to O'ngai, Yarni Zai, Yarni Zai II, Yig Goloth, L'ghux, N'ktun, Swatopluk, and Igg Yad.

Sincerely,
AreaOfEffect

P.S.: Why don't your people beleive in normal everyday names like Chalchiuhtlatonal and Mictlantecuhtli.

Well. O.O

New yes, unaware of "dangers", nooooo, not that, quite so much. Perhaps unaware of the potential that 100% of them would be found, even with a relative disparity in Astral levels (I sort of assumed that might play a part. o.O).

Oh MAN that battle with the Vastness was epic! I've never seen one of them pull that sort of thing off without dying - just pure insanity.

As for the luck with Mind Blast, it's not entirely luck, though hitting a key buffer to interrupt the script is very nice.

Oh and just so you know, Yarni Zai happens to be the deep one version of Billy-Bob. True story.

Now, where to come up with some more chaff to support all of those mages who didn't die.

Well, humbled hardly begins to describe how I feel now.

Fortunately, I still have tricks up my sleeve. Oh yes, buried in there where only I know.

I sure wish Wolven Winter had gone before Murdering..... 15 killed? 15?? Out of 500.

Awesome.

The only pleasure I got from that battle was watching your flaming slings (!) kill your own men by the dozens as I routed.

You have to account for the fact that my dominion speards heat. Even after wolven winter that province still has heat 1. As for the timing on the spells, wolven winter triggers when random events do, which is after most other ritual spells. You did however surprise me and I am somewhat pleased to see a change in strategy. Good luck.

P.S.: You understand that Light of the Norther Star boosts all astral mages on the field, both your's and mine, right? The spell pretty much helps me just as much as its helps you.

JimMorrison · #7 July 25th, 2008, 09:11 PM

You know, I just triple-checked because you said that..... I was positive that it functioned differently than the Banner of the Northern Star. I guess that is an insane notion, as even though I've never used the Banner, for some reason I didn't think that it was the exact same effect.

Anyway, I have a new master plan - beyond "gotta try everything once" - oh yes, something even better than that.

We'll just see if it's suicide or not. I'm still crying over the fact that Arrow Fend affects Nether Darts. 8*(
