Siang 3rd

Our scouts report that Aqua has surrounded himself with numerous magicians. Also, on Little Algain Island to the north of Aqua's castle is a powerful warlord minion.





The enemy also has a couple of fast-flying harpies making a beeline towards our castle, which is actually a bad idea for them, since our troops are already starting to set out.

In fact, the king has a plan on how to proceed.



Our undead brigade is being set out first, to instill fear into any resistance they meet.

During the night, while we weren't paying attention, Aqua recaptured the town to the north,



and its capturer caught Tadleer by surprise.



35 damage to Tadleer

Siang 4th



A combination of frightening lich and the king's magic allowed our elven archer an easy victory.



After pulling off this attack before we could stop it, the harpy was easily dispatched.

I told the king we should think of equipping our men, and he told me it was my choice as his trusted treasurer what to do with our hard-earned money: recruit, or buy equipment.

When put that way, there was only one choice.



Sairek is a magician-in-training who wishes to get out from under his father's thumb, and so he joined the Holy Army.

I still think that is a silly name for our army, but it is what it is.



Vespera is a young woman who has trained as an adventurer and is proficient with a sword. I hired her to be a cool head to complement our female berserker, Ladywinter.



In other news, the enemy sniper decided to try and sneak-attack us by crossing the mountains rather than taking the main road.

(this is Fluffy's damage to him with his eruption breath.)



It was also easily dispatched.

The sun has set today, and I have decided on two more recruits, both elves.





We have an equal number of elves and dwarves, now. If only a few more hobbits would join.



About halfway to Aqua, our undead brigade finally met resistance.







We are very lucky that liches have high HP.



Well, at least there's that?

Siang 5th



We, or rather, I (when does the king sleep?) awoke to find MJ in need of help, which the king provided through magic.



Our liches have taken care of that enemy warlord for the moment.



Do you remember that berserker that Aracna was obsessed with using Mega Restore on?





Yeah....



Rinse & repeat.



Mugenai reclaimed the northern city, and is now planning to enter Little Algain Island by crossing the bridges far to the north. It will take him some time to make his way around the sea.



The king used his powerful magic to defeat a mage before it had a chance to use any magic.



Meanwhile...

However, an enemy wizard stepped forward to take its place.



[FREEZE IS CAST]

It's not fair that it can target next to Squishy to avoid friendly fire. I can't do that when I use Freeze.



Meanwhile...



Yumekai was in a perfect position to use his own magic.



No earth spells on Squishy's watch!



Squishy looked pretty hurt there, so we used Mega Restore on him. Hey, if the enemy can spam this spell, why shouldn't I?





Meanwhile...



The enemy wizard, apparently having no other spell than Freeze and reluctant to hurt its allies with the spell, attacked Squishy with his staff, and the hellion appropriately countered. Now, the wizard likely regretted this action in his last moments as Squishy finished him.



Level 1 confusion spell.



Meanwhile...





69 damage to Flimzy

Siang 6th



Flimzy was severely wounded and had to pull back.



Squishy continues to annoy his enemies with his paralytic breath.



Mugenai is still working his way around the northern islands.



The hydras were toying with the helpless manticore Bob, and so the king restored him to his full fighting form.





Our liches failed to paralyze the warlord, and so Aqua chose a different target for his restorative spell.



A waste of effort on Aqua's part, since Squishy is still on the job.



Bob recovered from petrification only for our knight to succumb.

To everyone's surprise, the warlord did nothing. Perhaps it forgot that it had been healed. Regardless, that has been remedied by one of our liches.



Though bleeding from his intense wounds, Flimzy took a chance and took out a paralyzed hydra.



Yumekai loves his AoE spell.








HP +26, attack +4, defense +1, and the Cold spell (level 1 ice)

This spell is kind of useless, but it can be cast at range, unlike her current earth spell.



We were very close to defeating the warlord





but failed to do so.
