Boot Camp - Finished - Soyweiser/Jotunheim wins! - Page 20

Connection seems to be fixed.

For anybody wondering where I get my creepy Skrattir names from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortal_%28band%29 This band seems to go pretty well with the general themes of Jotunheim. Cold icy forests. Darkend frostbitten northlands. Crushing of the Church (Marignon

) Etc. Works nicely. But I'm running out of song titles to name my Skrattir.

Okay, so the Erinyes are beings who have sworn to slay all practitioners of Blood magic, but when one of them encounters a Skratti surrounded by five blood slaves, what does she do? Go around butchering the innocent virgins one by one until the Skratti kills her. Class act, Megeara, really. Additionally, sometimes they kill death mages without a single path in blood, which I'm pretty sure wasn't in the contract. Let's keep on track here, gals! It's bad enough that there turned out to be a second (semi-)blood nation still in the game; I can't afford to have you crusading against the OTHER two nations on top of it.

Also...

Dammit, Jotunheim! I just finished cleaning the giant blood off of the fields in Cerne. Now I need to start over. Why couldn't you have learned your lesson last time? The dudes who annihilated your last army literally haven't moved from that spot since then.

Yeah, that was dumb. I need more scouts. Sucks to be me.

Nice army btw. It scares the hell out of me.

To be honest, after what happened last time, I'm extremely worried that this invasion will turn out to be another fiasco if anything goes even slightly wrong, but there's nothing to do at this point but give it a go. The loss of those five Skratti does embolden me somewhat, though; at the very least it gives me a lot more leeway than I thought I was going to have.

Of course the last time I beat you with a totally different set of mages. Without the gear I just lost.

But most of my army is currently moving against Bandar. He is right next to my lands, you still have some way through your own old provinces before you get tot the castles.

I'll think up a nice strategy to kill you before that

. Or Bandar whipes me before that and it is all moot.

I'm still having fun so that is what counts.

No problem; the hosting time has been set to 4:46 GMT Tuesday.

Valerius · #7 December 28th, 2010, 06:11 PM

I've been postponing hosting so that C'tis doesn't stale. Pjoo hasn't logged in since Dec. 13 but he also hasn't been staling so he may be away for the holidays.

Ok. Thanks for giving me the Christmas break.

Zwago shivered in the frozen darkness. How long had it been? Months? Years? It was impossible to know; time had no meaning in this wretched place. No sun or moon ever ascended over the bleak horizon.

What he did know was that he was alone. He knew no word that described the feeling, but the half-numb ache in the lumps of scar tissue by his left and right shoulders were a constant reminder that it was there. It was worse than the hunger; the hard, rancid flesh of the occasional unwary Frost Fiend was barely able to sustain him. Worse, even, than the cold, so very far from the balmy jungles and volcanic isles of their youth. His youth.

The crunch of the snow under his talons echoed across the tundra as the trail of footprints behind him stretched closer and closer towards infinity...

At last he could take no more. He collapsed with a dull thud into a snowbank, unable or unwilling to take even one more step. The beating of his heart grew slower and slower as he welcomed death with silent revelry.

Suddenly, he saw something shimmer in the corner of his eye. No, not a light, but a sort of ripple in the air, almost imperceptible against the monotonous expanse of the lifeless realm. He recognized it instinctively: it was a planar rift. It could take him home! Filled with a sudden burst of energy, he jumped up and leapt through the veil before the opportunity was lost. Almost immediately he felt the heavy warmth flow over him. Home...

"? Zwago the Zmey drowned in Utterdeep."

Thanks for the update on Zwago.

Doesn't seem right that he survived all that only to return to a water province and drown.

Also, we had an unfortunate stale last turn as I didn't see Soyweiser's postponement request until too late. Sorry about that; I know you two have a tough fight going on.
