Without word one way or the other from Arco, we must continue what harassment we have left to us. If you wish us to stop, just say the word.

I think Arco is just taking back his territories. He probably would have left troops in 24 if he were planning on continuing to attack you. If you need a way to withdraw your PoD without fighting Arco let me know and we can route him through my territory (though I just realized he has pills of water breathing so retreating through the water is another option).

This was a quiet turn but there may be some fireworks next turn: Arco's chariots and elephants vs. Pan's naked women and carousing revelers. Be sure to get your scouts to 46 and 33 so you don't miss the fun!

Pan will have to keep an eye out for those troublemakers as well. In Man and Pan's previous short war some of those rabble rousers caused discontent among the populace. They were never found and are likely still hiding in our territory. However, harpies are patrolling in force and the troublemakers will surely be discovered and dealt with appropriately.

In the northeast, Man's troops have again massed in 66. However, the defense of the fort in 62 is strong and it seems unlikely that the walls will be breached before reinforcements arrive.
