HEAVEN SHALL BURN - Hunters Will Be Hunted

This is the end of all endurance
No mercy for assassins
Violence against violence
And hunters will be hunted
Until the slaughter ceased to be
Believe me, you'll regret your deeds

We took a stand and won't retreat
Until their malice ceased to be
Nothing justifies your greed
You will not succeed

You shall regret your felonies
We took a stand and won't retreat
And hunters will be hunted
Until the slaughter ceased to be

Across the open seas, together through the storm
You'll make no creature bleed, nevermore, forevermore

No drawing back, direct actions strike upon you
No compromise, no giving in
Defending those who cannot fight
Justice must prevail
A campaign for relief

Across the open seas, together through the storm
You'll make no creature bleed, nevermore, forevermore

I looked him straight in the eye
This moment of compassion
I found my mission in life
We send them to the bottom
Forevermore

We took a stand and won't retreat
Until the malice ceased to be
Justice must prevail

You shall regret your felonies
We took a stand and won't retreat
And hunters will be hunted
Until the slaughter ceased to be
And hunters will be hunted
Hunters will be hunted
And hunters will be hunted

The air it smells of burning
The skies are filled with smoke
I'd have a bigger army

Ed celebrates enchanted slumber.  This world looks rather different than it did six months ago.  Many Celebrants have died.  Much Celebrant treasure is gone.  Our southern lands are locked in ice.  Panssy has survived, and shall now attempt to rescue Observes Ice and Describes Southern Islands, but her mission may be difficult now.  It appears there was, during the Celebrant sleep, a brief time when travel would have been easier, but it is unclear whether that is still true today.  Panssy gathers some silver and heads south as fast as she can to try to rescue the two scientist observers at Wretched Castaway's island.  She takes some extra silver in case the wretched castaway also wants to be rescued.  Perhaps Wretched Castaway shall decline, staying behind to watch, and to turn out the lights at the island when everyone finally departs.  First Panssy has to get there, which might take awhile in this weather.

Ed celebrates the life of Gives Marsh Grain.  She tried to learn to make cookies, travelling to a place where ingredients were available, spending months studying cooking, and then she was slain in a battle between two allies.  Sad.  Note to self; when two allies fight, try not to join the festivities.  Gives Marsh Grain will be missed.

Observes Ice and Describes Southern Islands celebrate a mysterious benefactor.  Observes and Describes have been saved from starvation by a mysterious benefactor.  Now if only they had some way to get this information back to the mainland.  Observes Ice wonders if Pansssy is even now freezing her tail off trying to get back and rescue them.  Observes Ice wonders how far the freeze has progressed during the Celebrants' long sleep, and wonders how the mainland is coping with the freezing.

Chieftess Oma celebrates autotax.  Chieftess Oma wakes from a long slumber to discover that sleeping Celebrants do not tax, at least not when in so deep a sleep that they miss the turn entirely..  Celebrants have never tried this "autotax" thingy, but now wonder whether it is made for just such possibilities...

Spite of Daspol wonders who here thought he should study carpentry.  Spite guesses he might as well farm; we certainly don't need any more wagons.

Ciriko Ifiipiro, or perhaps the ghost of Ciriko Ifiipiro, celebrates the truce of Feldsale.  Ciriko wonders what ever happened to that truce during the Celebrants' long sleep?  It seems that the truce did not hold.  Ciriko doesn't expect to survive, he wonder sif any of his friends nearby will survive.  Once upon a time Ciriko thought he could fight, but the standards of skill, weapons, armor, and squad size all seem to have increased during the Celebrant long slumber.  

Chieftain Wishes celebrates new factions.  Where are the CATO factions that used to be my neighbors?  And who are these new factions, General Disasters, Dark League, Children of the Four Winds, Mantzikert who are my neighbors now?  Weren't they all far away at the edges of the map before?  Six months and flying mounts make distances short.
