hey, ptb, wouldn't it be easier if you updated the save on the first post each time one of us completes his turn?

[Broseph Stalin]

I'm going to post this as it happens to generate a little excitement.

Spoiler:  The Second Rampage of Takru Deathblow- Part 1 (click to show/hide)

I spent the last month relaxing in my new stronghold of Coastalshins surrounded by my servants- it's former residence. My rest was interrupted by news some elf savage has launched an attack against the Realm of Tours. Once again I must teach them a lesson. As I prepared to depart one of my impudent slaves who apparently did something to make me injure her earlier accosted me.

Since she missed the point of our earlier lesson I explained again.



Afterwards I was very careful to ensure I was understood.


I understood it wasn't her fault she was from an uncivilized people and rather than kill her I accepted restitution in the form of her pet as travel rations.

One of the others took exception to this and she too was corrected.


When I arrived at Leagueshins the dwarven lady I appointed was presiding over the site but a nearby elf had dared to call itself militia commander.



It's been too long since I threw an elf out of a tree.

The guard captain was uninjured by the fall and died in a more boring fashion.





I don't understand how elves do business so I'm not really sure who I have to kill to make them stop being so annoying and insisting this site is still theirs. I elected to go tree to tree finding and punishing anyone who stood against us. I stumbled across a collection of wealth that I decided as rightful master of this place was illegal. There's a lovely silver whip that I believe I can have some fun with. I also there is a new queen in Voicdedvale. I think I'll pay her a visit.

It's been three days since I left Coastalshins and I still can't find the queen or her blasted daughter. I've decided to settle for a militia commander to test out my new toy.



Apparently one of the elves was confused about the natural order of things and tried to restrain me and made the most dire mistake of his life.


It was a very long time before I allowed him to die.


I still can't find the blasted queen. I stumbled across a retreat leader, she seemed very eager to appease me.

I still threw her out of her tree because it's just so damned fun but I didn't chase her when she ran screaming for her life.

I came across an elf woman out for a walk and asked her about the surroundings but she didn't have anything to say about the location of the queen. She began crying but no matter how much I ripped apart her face she wouldn't tell me anything new.

I came upon another retreat leader and her family




I had little interest in them until one of her children mentioned something in passing.


She refused to give more than a very general answer so I decided to begin interrogating.

[Broseph Stalin]

Nemesis error.

[ptb_ptb]

Nemesis error.

Crap.

Where, and did you have a backup save before it hit you?

I got the whip but I haven't killed anyone with it, I was walking back into the forest retreat when it happened.

I asked a few questions and applied a bit of force and soon after the entire family assaulted me. I was forced to defend myself against their savage onslaught and was successful in defeating them.


Even more elves attacked me and one dared spit at my and question the ethics of beheading a child at which point I hacked off his arms and legs and kicked him in the stomach until he died.

I'm sick of these elves being so stubborn. I've gone north to the city to find a band to lead back into Voicdedvales and burn it to the ground. Lo and behold some elf mongrel has murdered the rightful leader of the hamlet. The Elf “lady” claiming dominion has been educated.



I went north in the hope of finding some able bodied warfighters but instead found a human traitor acting as lady. I killed her and both her children, claimed the site for myself, and handed lordship to a local with better judgement.

I went back and tried to reengineer most of this. Some of it's not faithful but very little of that matters. The only stuff relevant to the game is that I am a monster and I took back two sites.

Was that forest retreat the one that Than built? People should probably avoid going there because that Nemesis error is likely to reoccur whenever that location loads.

That says "Size:    20 bytes"
I think you messed up the upload.

[Broseph Stalin]

No I think it was the northernmost retreat.

Should be the right file now.

[ptb_ptb]

Should be the right file now.

Yeah, that looks much more likely

[than402]

what northermost retreat? i took two coastal hamlets. are those the ones you took back, or did you take a site from me?

[Broseph Stalin]

I took both hamlets back, I don't think you can actually claim an elf retreat. When I went back to Elirethithu that was when I got Nemesis.

[ptb_ptb]

I took both hamlets back, I don't think you can actually claim an elf retreat.

Actually, I think you're right. They don't have the right sort of nobility, or some such. Presumably if you killed every resident elf there it would become a ruin though. Er, not that I'm advising you do so.

Also, it is not clear whether correctly claiming a site actually 'works' (e.g. does it switch ownership of that location to your civilization?).

the second village, i was actually wounded, defeated and eventually killed by bogeymen. i think Broseph Stalin killed his own guys...

now that you mention it, i have serious doubts for the first one too. i mean, i didn't even die, i just took a stroll to the motherland and i had two contenders for the position already!

There were dead bodies inside the halls so I assumed they'd been taken.
