Tempest - Random Nations, Early Era (Micah Wins!)

[Baalz]

The lizard king has fallen.

The nation of C’tis has gone to the honorable grave of a warrior as the Mictlan wind blows south. Seeing an opportunity as they feuded with other neighbors, the holy warriors of the land of the jungle fell upon the swamplands like an avalanch of boulders. Eagle warriors dropped on all sides like hammers as a solid core of jaguar warriors marched down the center as the anvil. After several bloody battles our generals gazed upon the home citadel of the lizard folk and considered the options.

The sauromancers are well known for their command of the undead, and the slaying of undead is cold methodical work not worthy work for raising the blood of the holy warriors. So a score of priests were brought forward in preparation before the bloody army marched on the last stronghold of the lizards. In the face of taunts from the forked tongues, we waited until the time was right, then marched in force.

Indeed hundreds of walking dead were raised as the C’tis militia tried once in life, and once again in death to repulse us. The eagle warriors were not able to make to the back lines in time to stem the flow of undead by slaying the sauromancers, so the sweaty work of hacking bodies into pieces too small to shuffle forward fell to the anvil of jaguar warriors. Many of the weaker eagle warriors fell, and the rest routed, but the core of our army blasted through the brittle bones and clumsy shuffling long dead as chime after chime of banishment rained down around them.

Warriors until the end, the sauromancers retreated after the walking dead inflicted significant casualties, only to return the following month summoning another large group of undead in a last show of defiance before we could storm their castle. Unsupported by an army however, the undead did not last very long alone and the last of the sauromancers was slain as the wave of our holy warriors overwhelmed the flow of undead.

Now, fittingly, we digest our large meal like a snake- outwardly dormant but already thinking about where our next meal will come from.
