Reverend Zombie said:To what do I owe the honor of Anya's visit to my southernmost holdings?

She must have thought she was visiting Pangaea. I can assure you that the
warlock apprentice who scried the two provinces in question has been harshly
punished - he was thrown into a fire pit and left there.

Reverend Zombie said:Oh come, now. One province a turn, randomly selected from all coastal provinces (not necessarily yours)??? A mere nuisnance, surely, and not a declaration of war.

Not even a nuisance anymore! Your undead decided to socialize with my undead,
and droped at my annual undead/demon get-together. Sadly, there was a dispute
over who gets to suck the brains of a recently deceased bloodhedge druid...
I am sorry to inform you that no one from your fleet made it back to the ships.

Lingchih said:Well, you had plenty of time to take that province, and you never did. I assumed you didn't want it

Oh, it's just that with Caelum and then Vanheim attacking me, I never had the
time to grab it. But now that Vanheim seems to be willing to stop harrassing me,
we may drop by to visit Anya's believers.

[Lingchih]

Yes, by all means, come for a visit. Anya's believers are quite delicious. I'll prepare a feast of them for your arrival.

[Reverend Zombie]

The great kingdom of C'tis wants to thank Abysia for their very generous book-loan program. Anubis needed some light reading this month, and the Tome should do quite nicely.

[Tuidjy]

You are welcome. I cannot say I am happy about it, but what can I do? The
fashion seems to be rings of wizardry, this season. No one cares about books
anymore, so they end up on the battlefield... something about them stopping
arrows (doesn't work).

But can you tell me who's the impostor that shows up after 'Summon Air Queen' and
what you have done with the real Thuella? As far as I can tell, this is the
impostor's record:

Summoned by Vanheim.
Changes sides, to Abysia, in the first battle she's in.
Dies, next turn, to a single scout employed by Jotunheim.
Summoned by Vanheim.
Changes sides, again.
Teleports into battle, panics, forgets that she can fly, and dies while running.

That does not sound like the Thuella I know. So, whoever has the real Queen of
Air under lock, prepare to face the full wrath of her sisters.

Due to his recent DEATH, Anubis may be a little late returning the Tome to the Abysian Library, and would like to inquire as to the overdue fees.

Usually it is nothing exhorbitant, something like half your provinces. But
with all this fighting, our Empire needs resources, so I think we will double
the fines.

Surely Abysia must be close to the requisite two-thirds of the map's provinces for the victory condition, yes?

[Lingchih]

You would think. He has about half of mine now, and just killed my Pretender.

[Tuidjy]

I do not insist on using the 'number of provinces' win condition. It is fine
for breaking stalemates, but stuff is still happening all the time in this game.
If everyone feels like surrendering, sure, but I think that we can take the game
at least to the point when Man has joined the fray.

By the way, I have 67 temples and at least 21 uncastled provinces, thus about
ninety total. This is closer to half than to two thirds.
