Act Three, Scene Two
A hut in the forest near the northern border. Centurion, magicians, forester.
"Thank you, Forester! Your information is very useful for future development. What else is known about the inhabitants of the north?"
"I won't be able to say much. The migrant Orcs did not reach them. There was no harm from them either. They didn't climb our outpost much. They occupy vast lands. But either the center of their state is in another place far away, or they are basically unable to develop. We don't see any outstanding results here. There are settlements over there. Other strange personalities appeared there. But their abilities are questionable, so far they have not been able to expel the centaur tribe from the rich plain. There's a big city over there. There was a gate not far from it, but I couldn't get that far. I haven't been able to yet."
"It's clear. I don't think they'll even notice if we move them a little. We will try not to offend too much and not cause much harm. We will try not to kill unnecessarily. We fight only where they will resist or interfere. The Keeper is ready to take them under his protection, but it seems to me a bad idea. This should have been dealt with as soon as we discovered them. Now we will just reduce their territory, put guards on the border and move on. Fortunately, the goal is known and understandable. We'll send a messenger to them, offer to get out of our way voluntarily. If they will start to resist, they will lose more. Every next sentence will be worse than the previous one, and this is not someone's principle of education. It's just a clear goal, a well-thought-out strategy, the right tactics, limited time and honesty in the relationship. Now we cannot take everything, we are ready to give in. But if we had to spend resources on their education, they will have to pay something for it, so the next offer will cost more. And so on to the very goal!"
"So be it, Centurion! The next moon will show what awaits us..."

Mantzikert (39)
The scout had been briefed in advance. As a centaur, he'd been chosen for his sheer sprinting speed to rush from underforest to underforest before the dragon could spot him. Unfortunately, a completely different dragon was wandering by, and as the plucky little centaur tried to make it past, he was hit by fiery breath. He ran back, only to be grabbed by the original dragon he had tried to sneak past.
The dragon looked up and said "I hate it when you toast them for me first."

Squirrel Chatter second August

World population growth rate rose sharply this month, to
more than 5000 per month. 300 of that is because we finally
recruited a hill dwarf, so our graphs no longer exclude the
world hill dwarf population. But even without the 300 this
month would have still been the fastest world population
growth yet seen.

We seem to have stumbled upon a third crypt. Is it only the
third? It seems we have found so many undead, some in
crypts, some in lairs. This crypt has with 40 skeletons, 3
undead, and a lich. This is the first lich the squirrels
have found. I wonder whether liches are as friendly as
illyrithids? Well, I guess the best way to find out is to go
visit the crypt and find out.
--Believers, Sylard
Oh, look, a fourth ice cave with yet another an ice dragon.
How many ice dragons are there? Well, the last ice dragon
was friendly, perhaps this one is too.
--Senior Carrot, Cia'o
You know, I think I knew this magician's tower was here. No
one else who went to visit ever came back. It must be a
really irresistable place. Well, I was never good at
resisting temptation, let's see what the evil magician, 3
evil sorcerers, and 29 evil warriors have that is so
wonderful that no one ever wants to leave.

Landfall in Lialse/Riplutt! Jeremy's gating has brought us to a new, unclaimed land! And it only took two attempts, too! Scouts have been sent to see if this land is as good as it seems. Should their reports be favorable, long-term operations will be set up. In the meantime, let's gather a bit more silver from our landing site. We'll need it for the turns ahead.
The sailors, meanwhile sail around the east edge of the island. They'll reach their destination around Turn 22. May this second colony effort go well. Dispersion increases chances of survival.
The Observers have changed plans and decided on a whim to head Northwest through The Order's now abandoned former territory and beyond. What awaits these two brave adventurers on the road ahead? Only time will tell.
Finally getting somewhere. It only took me 20 turns :)

A troupe of beetle bards were murdered for entertaining the locale farmers. No offence given other than their presence! No communication offered! Seems a little harsh. Hard to mistake the 6 legged clowns for the usual population, so mistaken identify couldn't be it. Perhaps this is just another short-sighted despot hoping to murder his way to the top. Don't we already know one of those?

Carnival of Shadows Unleashes the Beast Tamer’s Menagerie
Last night, the Carnival of Shadows wowed spectators with the debut of the Beast Tamer’s Menagerie, a jaw-dropping display of wild, mystical creatures unlike anything Atlantis has ever seen. Led by the fearless and enigmatic tamer, Sorvath the Untamed, the beasts performed tricks that defied belief—dragons breathing ice instead of fire, shadowy hounds vanishing and reappearing mid-leap, and winged serpents soaring through the tent.
Old Jobobo, as always, had his own cryptic words to share:
"In the Carnival, even the wildest beasts know how to put on a show. But beware—tame isn’t always safe."
Atlantis is buzzing with excitement, as the Menagerie promises more surprises and thrills with each passing night.

Come on. You thought that it was over

Far as you want to go down in Dragontown

Local residents are calling on the authorities to step up maritime patrols after the body of local fisherman, Knurril Skarfang, was recovered earlier this week.
Skarfang was reported missing last month and many attributed his disappearance to the growing list of recent kraken victims. However, Skarfang’s body showed traces of deep cuts, which experts say are consistent with sword wounds.
Is there no end to the dangers lurking in our oceans?

Miss Leza has become the first sister to swim the Undersea.
Many of the family are preparing for a long boat voyage. Once they arrive in a distant unknown they will explore.
Others are training in horsemanship in the underworld and will soon ride out to find other branches of the undersea to swim. Is there such a thing as an underisland?

The Great Map Grows,
with new contributions from several factions the map now covered a grand total of 1417 total hexes!
Mercator Jnr was pleased, pouring over the vast map before him, the lands, seas and underworld took shape. Factions and alliances were identified and the shape of empires were beginning to form.
He desperately sought two factions maps. he had spotted their units in nearly every place he had visited. one day to hold before him a complete map!
Last message from the HQ-
to all, please contact to discuss contributing to the great map. At this stage of the game, a segment double or more of what is provided will be offered. once we have traded a few times then the full map will be shared. although we are not aligned with any major alliance, and may soon lose our base of operations, our scouts and cartographers still roam the globe. Please welcome them as non threatening. our chance at global domination is far far gone..... now the joy of maps...
Cartographers (69)
Excitement was in the frosty air.
the three gathered with the others.
the morning fog started to part in the weak sunlight.
Suddenly a Lute strummed out of nowhere, cutting through the air.
The three turned as one and glared at the lone musician.
the music faded on the still morning air, the moment shattered by the sudden music.
muttering to themselves, they once more turned their attention to what lay before them.
