Mongoose - Starting (at last!)

[WonderLlama]

Thank you so much. You're the best!

I'm curious what you will be come out with Wonderllama :-)

Illithid, both young and old, have been having a nice time outside Caelum's fortress. That location has been deemed a safe location for the Illithid families to have good, whole hearted fun for the entire family at by the administration. The numbers of Illithid and auxiliaries only grow as time passes as more and more people hear of the fun being had on the ground level beneath the mountain fortress.

And there is much more fun to be had! Just this month, a new skiing resort just opened! Qubeley the Starspawn is the head figure of this entire endeavor of turning Caelum into an amusement park, and his fun sayings such as "R'lyeh is Rising" and "Fhtagn" are sweeping the nation! There is also an observatory for the young ones to watch the locals hiding inside their fortress. It's all jolly good fun!

In other news, Gouf the Starspawn, whom was thought to have been lost forever in time and space, came back the other month and in R'lyehian territory for once. And there was much rejoicing! He's just a bit crazy now, but no one's perfect!

It seems there has been some miscomunication and some of my demonic forces killed a little pangaeans army in Eribon(76) , we mourn the passing of so braves soldiers ;/

[BigandScary]

Aldrick, my general who survived the fiasco with R'lyeh many months ago has been killed by my other ally. He will be mourned.

I've been trying to send my turn in for the last 30 minutes, but hotmail isn't working. (It says the server is too busy.) There is currently a little over 2 hours until the turn. I expect I'll get it through in time, but if I don't, is it possible to fix it?

[fabio80mi]

Guys let us know how the battle in caelum capital goes !

There are so many troops there it will be an awesome thing to see, actually if some of you can film it trhough fraps or something similar would be most appreciated!

[Sensori]

Yeah, when it happens, it'll be a big one, and since he's not coming out, it's gonna be VERY disadvantageous to me when I eventually storm the fortress. I'm not seeing myself winning it, and if I do, it'll be because of crazy lack of luck on Caelum's side. Having checked out his army just now I can see that.

And based on what I saw... I'm getting the feeling that Arco and Marignon really did send all their gems most of the time to him. I can't explain how he has so much magical infrastructure left STILL even with like 2 provinces (which are besieged) otherwise. 25 gems from globals + 5 from your cap isn't that much, especially when you'd need to alchemize the Earth and the Air gems for Astral.

And now WonderLlama, your remains of the "alliance of good" really has gone to new lows - you're using blood slaves yourself. ;p

How do you explain THAT?

[WonderLlama]

My allies did send me the gems they had left just before they went out, but not before. Most of my income is my own, and I'm perfectly comfortable in my castle until my dominion runs out. Arco sent me his blood slaves when he went out. I'm not really sure where he got them. I guessed maybe he took them from an abyssian commander in battle, though I'm not sure if that's possible.

As far as coming out of the castle goes, I was planning on it originally, but then I discovered my fountain can't even patrol/ break siege. Somehow I though I had patrolled with one before. So that was a nasty surprise. Can't see myself breaking out without it.

Went pretty much I expected it to go (lost), but in a way it went better than I had expected as well. Most of my unique item carriers survived the fight (and most of the SCs did too) while everyone else went six feet under or got Master Enslaved/Undead Masteried. Very little I could do against those - only thanks to Sword of Injustice I didn't lose the entire skelly army.
