Farewell my worst starting location. You won't be missed.

A dragon...
now what to do with it?

Hello there, Kraken!

Herbs is an interesting resource. Let's see if it will be useful

Oh no! A dragon in our midst! Run around waving your arms in panic, tripping over each other.

The bronzed lord stared at the hive of activity that was the beach.  It was most bogus; glassy waves crashed unsurfed upon the beach as everywhere dudes and dudettes packed their belongings and added final coats of wax to their boards.

But they would find new beaches.

..... (There is no honking this month, it seems that all the geese are bowing their heads in a moment of silence for their fallen leaders :( )

Well... the storm geant seems to be giant and to launch storms.... not good ...

Wistfully full of cold

Love, death & goblins

Season 3, episode 3

The underworld. A bedroom in cave. Goblin Mom, Goblin Papa and many goblin children (number of children continued to grow).

So kids! How did the tale of how Gazzyoll was caught end? And that's what! Allyello and Floyello understood what was scaring Gazzyoll so much in the trap they had prepared. A huge swarm of flies descended on the meat, under which the steel trap was hidden. And they were buzzing so terribly and there were so many of them that from a distance it looked like a terrible monster.
And then Allyello and Floyello moved the trap to the forest, where there were many different birds and frogs, who happily caught and ate all the flies.
And then Gazzyoll saw the meat, jumped on it and sank his teeth into it... But then his teeth broke, and the steel trap snapped shut!
The Gazzyoll beeped plaintively! He realized that he was trapped, and he could not escape from the trap! And his accomplices realized this, they screamed and wailed. And Floyello asked Allyello: can we let Gazzyoll go? 
No! Said Allyello! He need to be responsible for your actions! Evil must be punished!
And they tore out all the teeth of Gazzyoll, took away all the weapons and ships and made sure that Gazzyoll would never again pose a threat to other inhabitants of this world. Well, except that it will spit. But it's not scary anymore and it won't do much harm to anyone.

The rumours arise about some significant entities that are supposed to be appearing it game. Trader Enclave reports that after exploration department has scrutinized each and every region report no sign has yet be found. Rumours sounded important but are probably false.
Meanwhile Expedition managers are still trying to sum up all accounts of mithril equipment needed to take down devil and the amount is staggering. The project has been but to hold until better times.
Otherwise, a trader has discovered that underground caverns can actually contain the valuable admantium. This finding while interesting is also unfortunately very late, as it would be way important to find it a few years earlier to be more useful. Otherwise rumours of heavily armoured attackers materialising from thin air in town of Seshec shows that our expeditionary forces are underequipped for such developments. 

"A Village"
"yes, our village."
"Who those people?"
"Village elders.  We kill those, then we take the village"
"us?"
"No.  That is why we bring the little ones. They die for us to win..."
"Ah, I thought they were just fish bait"

While the cat is away the mice will play.

Now, where is that cheese.

Damn.

The ruins of The Nest - satisfied!

Fly!

The Council of The Four Winds eagerly scanned the Times. No, they weren't looking for the greatest loss of life (that was probably in their own internal battle reports) but for any mention of anomalies. Were they any strange clues to the mystery island in the ocean?

Rumors are flying that the pirates suffered a big loss. Does this mean that things will calm down on our island, or is the next war about to begin?

Making visits

No time like the present.

Rare metals are rare indeed

Some people don't know how to communicate. We've tried in Orc, Goblin, Wood Elf, and a variety of languages. I'm beginning to think it may just be social rudeness and not a language issue!

Clocks are ticking

The Way of the Goose: the art of crapping on everyone and everything but still comes out smelling like roses

50 Shades of Hostility

Ahhh, the quiet before the storm.  The swarm awaits the next invasion.

Maps Maps Maps!

Screams could be heard through out the town. strange forms had amassed via the strange gate that was kept locked off in a tower, to ward and guard against the denizens from within. 
Alas, a force so truly powerful had now stepped through. supported no doubt by hidden wizards of great renown. 
The poor town stood no chance. The Pied Piper began his song for the town. a sad ballad, describing the humble start and recent successes the small musicdom had enjoyed.
alas, he feared it was all over

oh well he thought, plenty more music throughout the lands. he would start again if needed.

The giant was slain, despite some unneeded helpers from adjacent hexes that got killed due to lack of armour....
This combat and tactical thing needed attention and work...
A kraken was next on the hunting menu and then other targets would be achieved in the next few months.
Slowly the spoils trickled in.

Silver

.

Hooonnnkkk    :(

doesn't really matter why, but you always needs silver, even if its to just run away

Accustomed to the sound of hooves when riding, this silence seems atrocious to him.

You flatter yourself! I've overseen the assimilation of countless millions. You were no different!

...

Where are they?
