[Armok]

((Really, I don’t feel like I always have enough time to write much RP, not because I have to little time for it but because I write to slow.  
I think I’ll mostly keep to the outside stuff unless someone actually tries to enter the cities.

Also, I am not sure if I’m going to have much time tomorrow.

It’s sad; this game would be much more fun if everybody had infinite time and no outside interference…  
Hopefully I’ll get a little more time in a few days, but not certainly.

I dunno how the turns actually go but here is the one after my last one.))

Efil-inira: 42 !!elves!! (degraded to hamlet) (-1 since last turn)
Ariquemera: 35 !!elves!! (hamlet) (+8 since last turn)
In armies/expeditions: 2 !!elves!!
Other: 26 working/travelling between Ariquemera and Efil-inira.
Total: 105 !!elves!!

((Fothacema continues east. (Two tiles because it’s mountains) (how much does he see of the dracon works and the dessert from an large hill in that tile?)
Iranineleni "negotiates", currently unconscious due to pain.
A new scout, Amizoimi, sets out from Efil-inira towards the north. ([T_WORD:COMET:amizo] [T_WORD:CHILD:imi])
Efil-inira has far since stagnated under the weight of red tape.
Lots of various building and science done in Ariquemera:
There is quite a bit of science and development going on, mostly by Ilecaaye.
The great tower is constructed to about 50m so far, the inside stairs whit supports is reaching a bit higher however, maybe to 60m.
Communications by light is established between the towers, Ariquemera declares independence. (I am hopefully going to do some after-the-fact history book page thing to explain all this later) ))

List of important people:
Acathiima, hero and leader of Efil-inira: Legendary organizer, skilled bow!!elf!! (Doing paperwork and ruling from The Seat of Authority, in Efil-inira.)
Yanenirica-Awidi, advisor and secretary of Acathiima: professional lawyer, professional diplomat, legendary organizer, master politician, legendary liar, legendary flatterer. (Doing paperwork and ruling by The Seat of Authority, in Efil-inira.) ([T_WORD:CRAWL:awidi] [T_WORD:PAPER:yane] [T_WORD:VERMIN:nirica])
Ilecaaye, ground-breaking geologist: grand-master miner, grand legendary geologist, talented metalworker, master chemist, skilled mechanic, master mathematician. (Making science in Ariquemera.)
Fothacema, scout/diplomat: professional scout, skilled ranger, talented diplomat (travelling east from Efil-inira)
Iranineleni, lawyer: professional lawyer, professional diplomat, skilled organizer, novice politician, dabbling jackass, dabbling scout. (“Talking” whit the giants)
Amizoimi, scout/diplomat: skilled scout, skilled ranger, talented bow!!elf!!, talented diplomat, novice middlemanagement. (travelling north from Efil-inira)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I agree whit Riet, Fenneth, you was kind of cruel towards Nietzsche” Armok accuses, looking up from the board for a moment.
“Now I’m of to get some more snacks” And Armok disappears.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((Just some general facts that I don’t really have the time or willpower to make into proper RP:

Fothacema is happy about the monotony ending, travelling mountains again, and seeing the dessert.
Amizoimi is something in between Fothacema and Iranineleni.
Yanenirica-Awidi is just some fun char I thought up.
There is of coarse more science in Ariquemera, hopefully I can get in some summary of it in later posts again.
There is lots of stuff about the ongoing in the !!elf!! cities in general I have just never gotten to tell.))

[Greiger]

((My roadworkers are gunna be in limbo until Jamini gets back as I don't have any idea what was planned.  Other than that nothing of note really happens.  The north forest starts getting clearcut and a small mining camp is set up directly north of Forestslayer.  The wood from Forestslayer will get to riversnake(which doesn't really have much use for it) in two turns.  Campcastle in three turns, and Boatland in four.

Armok your ‼elf‼ can see Campcastle well enough to know that is a decent sized settlement, can also see some smoke on clear days coming from within the settlement, the metalworking district working with what little coal and wood they can get is making the smoke.  The ‼elf‼ can also make out (with enhanced elven vision) the road, and some figures traveling on it, but they are too distant to make any details.

At night there are many campfires scattered within a few miles of campcastle, which is the military on patrols and exercises and along the road structures are also more visible due to the light of the fires inside.  If thats a smart ‼elf‼ they may notice that the dracon have difficulty with the cold nights.  There are no scout patrols at night.  And even if they see the ‼elf‼ at night, they cannot investigate until daylight.  

It should also be known that while famous heroes and such often worked with elves, they generally dislike them.  Not to the point of outright hostility, but they would treat any elf suspiciously, particularly one on fire.  High ranking clergy and magicians know elven from their land, but it's up to you if it's the same or a different elven. The high priest can cast a spell{Tongues} to allow her to speak and understand any language if necessary.))

the engineer group
(15 zefies w/ engineer training, currentally in Hopegem.)
After spening an alarmingly long period of time building the first section of road from Angelshield, the engineers had been greatly pleased by the reinforcements from Gouzzi. With the help, they finished in no time at all. They were very pleased at the founding  of Hopegem, Yankee had made it out alright after all. They spent a bit of time setting up the beginings of a paliside, then prepared to build roads to the location of the future mountain fort.

Settlement group C
(21 zefies, heading south.)
Gearm and her band of 20 zefies from the reinforcements that Angelshield had sent haad benn told to procede south and slightly east until they found to border of the forest, there they would establish a fort to withstand any army.

Felu's group
(20 zefies and Felu the blob)
After he had helped with the original setting up of Hopegem, Felu had been ordered west by Yankee. The prince had told Felu to set up when the terrian changed. The engineers told him that they would be laying road behind him, so Felu detailed he zefies to mark good paths with strips of cloth.

Messenger zefie
(not on map, lone dude who's traveling back and forth to hopegem and angel)
Natin really wondered what he had been thinking when he had told Gouzzi that he was an excellent distance traveller. He had completed his mission when he found Yankee and told him the Gouzzi was wondering what was up, but Natin, as per usual, had been given more work. Ask Gouzzi to apoint a competent mayor and procede to Hopegem. Grumble. Natin then thought more about the warthogs that he had seen in the capital. They might be big enough to ride. . .

Yankee
(in hopegem)
The construction of his (HIS?) fortress was going okay. It was not even asgood a spot for defense as the mud covered logs on a hill, but it would have to do. Once he could find stone, Yankee would raise walls to rival his old home. Yet, for now, trees had to be cleared, houses built, farms plowed, wagons constructed, plans to be made. Gouzzi really had a good mind for this. Yankee wished that he would get here soon.

Angelshield    farming       21 zefies+Gouzzi  Hamlet   Moderate defense
Hopegem        Capital/wood  50 zefies+yankee  Village  Low defense
Felu group     Settlement, west 20 zefies+felu     Min. trained + one elite
settlement group C     South     21 zefies         Min training
engineer group  Hopegem (not in population total)  Some crossbow training

**Can groups move diagnaly?

[Nhiphanter]

I dont think theres any restrictions at what direction the group can move as long as the direction is terrain that can be traversed.

[Akroma]

(( The turn will change in 3-4 hours, so you are a bit early Armok. If anyone hasn't done his turn yet, do so now))

((oh, and for those who think the Tengu look like birds:

   
They do have very small wings on their back, but they do not need them to fly. The flying is more of magical nature
))

The ninja sat crosslegged at the bottom of the cage. This was the greatest embarrassement he had ever felt. He, the second best spy of the Tengu, captured by these primitive creatures. Deer-demons, wearing nothing but a hood, their bottom completely exposed, as they were unable to feel shame and embarrassement with their primitive brains. Their houses were simple wooden huts, not even build of stone, architectural primitive, something even some animals were capable of. And now they were adressing him, in their ugly primitive language, probably not even aware that there are languages other than their own. Disgusting.
Completely ignoring his captors, he sat down to meditate. The knot that was tying him down was as primitive as it's makers, all he needed would be 10 minutes without supervision and he would be gone with the clouds...

"It's time," adressed Madara his first seated squad leader."Bring the men in position and await my signal. If you don't get a signal in 2 hours, you know what to do."

With these words, the Tengu rose into the sky above the city, low enough for their presence to be noticed, but high enough to be passed as vultures circling above the city. They were nervous. It was their first time, even for the trained soldiers.
Lord Madara knocked at the city doors with his golden staff.
"I am Lord Madara of The Awe-inspiring Wheels Of Fortune! I am here to discuss urgent matters with the Lord of this city!"

----------------------------------

Not knowing that on the others side of the ocean her father was waging war, Sanae was on a mission of peace. After a long march, she and her group finaly spotted a native city. With the friendliest smile she could muster, she moved towards the city of what appeared to be dwavres fo some kind.

----------------------------------

Mohayiga+harbour: village : 77
Eientei: village: 59
Murakami: hamlet : 29
Makai : hamlet : 23
Divine shrine : cloister : 10
Madara's army: 60 men in arms, 40 untrained dsoldiers, 15 trained soldiers, 5 elite soldiers

((This is the same turn as before, due to how the times happened I just don’t make a new on today than the one I posted yesterday.
So, this means I might finally have time to flesh some stuff out.
Also I’m fixing some errors, so it’s worth rereading.
Hope people are not annoyed whit the way I post every turn twice, only the last time “for real”.

I assume everyone has read the latest Threetoe story, mine are the same kind of elves as those there, and some are or could just as well be the exact same individuals.
Except tortured for eternity, put on fire, and withhold from all of nature in the mountains, that is.

I have been waiting for answers about Iranineleni for quite long now

Warning for the monster post…))

Efil-inira: 42 !!elves!! (degraded to hamlet) (-7 since last turn) (It will probably be stable at this for basically forever, because the emigration to Ariquemera will balance growth)
Ariquemera: 35 !!elves!! (hamlet) (+8 since last turn)
In armies/expeditions: 2 !!elves!!
Other: 26 working/travelling between Ariquemera and Efil-inira.
Total: 105 !!elves!!

((Fothacema continues east and spots Campcastle, setting course towards it and will arrive next turn. (Two tiles because it’s mountains)
Iranineleni "negotiates", currently unconscious due to pain.
A new scout, Amizoimi, sets out from Efil-inira towards the north. ([T_WORD:COMET:amizo] [T_WORD:CHILD:imi])
Efil-inira has far since stagnated under the weight of red tape.
Lots of various building and science done in Ariquemera:
There is quite a bit of science and development going on, mostly by Ilecaaye.
The great tower is constructed to about 50m so far, the inside stairs whit supports is reaching a bit higher however, maybe to 60m.
Communications by light is established between the towers, Ariquemera declares independence. (I am hopefully going to do some after-the-fact history book page thing to explain all this later) ))

List of important people:
Acathiima, hero and leader of Efil-inira: Legendary organizer, skilled bow!!elf!! (Doing paperwork and ruling from The Seat of Authority, in Efil-inira.)
Yanenirica-Awidi, advisor and secretary of Acathiima: professional lawyer, professional diplomat, legendary organizer, master politician, legendary liar, legendary flatterer. (Doing paperwork and ruling by The Seat of Authority, in Efil-inira.) ([T_WORD:CRAWL:awidi] [T_WORD:PAPER:yane] [T_WORD:VERMIN:nirica])
Ilecaaye, ground-breaking geologist: grand-master miner, grand legendary geologist, talented metalworker, master chemist, skilled mechanic, master mathematician. (Making science in Ariquemera.)
Fothacema, scout/diplomat: professional scout, skilled ranger, talented diplomat (travelling east from Efil-inira)
Iranineleni, lawyer: professional lawyer, professional diplomat, skilled organizer, novice politician, dabbling jackass, dabbling scout. (“Talking” whit the giants)
Amizoimi, scout/diplomat: skilled scout, skilled ranger, talented bow!!elf!!, talented diplomat, novice middlemanagement, novice cartographer. (Travelling north from Efil-inira)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I agree whit Riet, Fenneth, you was kind of cruel towards Nietzsche” Armok accuses, looking up from the board for a moment.
“Now I’m of to get some more snacks” And Armok disappears.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the governments of Efil-inira and Ariquemera:

Efil-inira is a strict despotic communist community under Acathiima, by The Seat of Authority that nobody can disobey, and partially her double-faced right hand Yanenirica-Awidi.
In structure it is heavy on form and paperwork, something in between ancient Rome, France before its famous revolution, and soviet Russia.
Indeed; in Efil-inira elves put fire on YOU.  

Ariquemera is in many ways the complete opposite, informal and efficient. Its basically some form of hippy-like socio-anarchy were everyone knows everyone and share everything.
The social structure is based primarily on scientific authority, the community is in practice lead by the “professors”, 10 or so leading scientists at various areas and also all close friends, and these in turn are headed by Ilecaaye, who claims no authority but who’s word is more or less law, because everyone knows by experience he is ALWAYS right.
This structure is far superior in all except one area: it completely and utterly crashes as soon as the population goes over 150 or so.

This structure makes science in Ariquemera explosive, they have already modern day materials or better (due to magic) when it comes to metal, however none of the plastic or carbon-based materials.
However, due to population and the lack of any kind of economy there can be no real industrial revolution.
When it comes to mechanics and precision manufacture they are at steam age level.
They have no electricity or explosive, or anything that requires flammables, however they can drive steam engines whit magical/nuclear alloys, making then in practice go on water only.
Of course, the tech continues to evolve constantly.
Mostly none of this tech has spread to Efil-inira.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fothacema had been travelling for two years now, and had the endless plains continued he would have turned around again months ago, however the last month or two he had finally been travelling mountains again.
Still, he was going to turn back from this meaningless travel anyways.
Then he stepped up yet another hill and a completely new landscape lay before him.
The desert was even huger and flatter than the plains, but almost by the horizon was a thin line. That could only be a road.
Then, his eyes wandered north, and he saw the city, and he immediately knew that was were he was going.
He set of towards it, a new glint in his eyes and strength in his legs.
He was finally going to see other living creatures again.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Structure of Efil-inira and Ariquemera:

Efil-inira has the design of a 2d version dwarf fort, there is a notable difference between the outer old sections that were designed to be as open to the air and sky as possible, and the newer, richer parts that are more efficiently planed. The outer sections are absolutely horrible for defences and most defensive structures are in the one corridor between the new and the old section. The Seat of Authority and the tunnel to Ariquemera are the deepest and most defended parts. The outer parts are empty now due to the decreased population, even no guars because they are either in the “lighthouse” or the defence perimeter between old and new part. The old parts are really ruins, and were it not for the light in the “lighthouse” at night sending messages back and fourth to both Ariquemera and various travellers nearby one could believe to have happened upon a ghost city.
Efil-inira has a militia of about 20 bow!!elves!! equipped approximately like Amizoimi below, minus the backpack and diplomatic stuff and plus helmets indicating rank.

Ariquemera is more reliant on technology for it’s defence, the only access tunnel coming from Efil-inira has only two breaches; one directly to the beautiful river bank, the other to an hot pressurized underground spring, both are blocked by massive titanium clad iron floodgates linked to a mechanism so that if one closes the other opens, this mechanism is controlled from a room whit a thick water-, pressure- and heatproof glass window so the guards can see everyone arriving. There are also several more classical weapon traps in case the water one fails.
The settlement itself is elongated along the banks of the river, most “buildings” have a window towards the big cavern and almost every room a window.
The Professors make sure there is always 33% more living space than inhabitants.
There are also many warehouses, workshops, and laboratories in the city, ass well as many a cavern room dedicated to various abandoned half-finished engineering projects.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amizoimi, scout/diplomat: (Travelling north from Efil-inira, nearby the zefies)
Skilled scout, skilled ranger, talented bow!!elf!!, talented diplomat, novice middlemanagement, novice cartographer.

Inventory:
•   <<Iron>> (fine formal but practical armless iron dress and pants studded whit aluminium, and some tungsten jewellery, including a diplomat crown.)
•   ¤Titanium composite bow¤ (these are great weapons, this one is not at all like the marvels from Ariquemera, but has still quite better aim and trice the range of a normal wooden bow.)
•   =Magnesium tipped iron arrow=[50] (Looks like quite ordinary arrows at first, good quality, heavier than wooden ones. However the neat thing is the magnesium tip, that an !!elf!! can put on fire before letting fly. That stuff burns “at a temperature of approximately 2500 K (2200 °C, 4000 °F)”! This also makes them very visible at a distance, they look quite like a modern signal flare and indeed it’s the same magnesium that is used in those. Being shot whit them might give the impression of a falling star coming for you, and the light is probable to blind you momentarily.)
•   <<Titanium>> (Beautiful and efficient, studied whit diamonds and menacing whit spikes of tungsten, on the item is and image of an !!elf!! and an office in aluminium, the !!elf!! is rising the office. This is not an artefact, just decorated.)
•   -magnesium signal roods-[4] (two are needed to signal, the others are reserve. These are basically aluminium staffs about a metre long whit magnesium flares on, these can be used for signalling at a distance, any text in the elven alphabet can be transferred this way and it is rather fast. The communication works as long as the ones communicating are able to see each other. From the ground to the tower in Efil-inira the range is about 3 squares. The flares burn slow and there is virtually no problem whit running out if you use them to often or anything like that.)
•   <<Aluminium>> (Studied whit tungsten.) Contains:
o   Various small tools, mostly made of tungsten, this includes pencils and such.
o   Plenty of iron sheets to write on.
o   Some diplomatic documents of various kinds, written in fine formal calligraphy, identical to those Iranineleni got.
o   About 10kg of various radioactive foodstuffs, will last for about 8 years, or 16 (+-5 or so) turns.
o   About 10kg of various trade goods, crafts made from aluminium, titanium, tungsten, and various gems mostly.

He doesn’t really like the system of Efil-inira, but follows it anyways, if he wasn’t such a passive coward he would be a rebel. Had he not gotten this assignment he’d have been whit the ones fleeing tyranny to Ariquemera.

[Impending Doom]

Lord Flavvius sat at his desk, working delicately at a small device mounted on a pedestal. Carefully, he held back the tension of a tiny leaf-spring with one hand, and with his free hand he reached into a small tray off to one side...

"Lord Flavvius, come quickly!"

The captain of the royal guard burst into the room, crossbow held at the ready. His concentration broken, Flavvius' grip on the leaf-spring loosened, then released, sending tiny cogs and sprockets to every corner of the room.

"Wha? Damn it all, captain! Can you not see I was in the middle of-"

"My lord, this is a matter of utmost urgency, you can tinker with your confounded contraptions later!" At this, the captain walked over, carefully avoiding the many small components scattered across the floor, and withdrew the curtains from the nearby window. Flavvius looked out the window, and recoiled with shock. Outside, dozens, perhaps hundreds of strange creatures were wheeling about in the sky high above the city, brandishing many strang weapons.

"Their leader is at the city gate," the captain spoke, "and he demands audience with you immediately. My lord, how can we trust them? If they come for a fight, then how can we possibly fight against so many? What shall we do?"
Flavvius pondered for a moment, allowing the tactics of the situation to sink in. Finally, he spoke. "Call up the town watch, I want every single one of them geared up and ready. Send them into the sewers, tell them to keep out of sight until the call goes out. Escort all of the civilians into the archives. Bar the doors, make sure no one comes in or out until all is clear. As for you, captain, you and your men will accompany me to the gates to speak with thisman. If they HAVE come looking for a fight, then by Lord Imp's name, they'll get one."
"as you wish, my lord." replied the captain, who promptly sprinted off down the corridor, shouting orders to everyone he met.

-----

"Still not any closer, cap'n." replied the spotter. "They're keepin' out over th' land, none of 'em comin' near th' harbor."
Captain Aramis lowered the spyglass from his eye. "Good, then they haven't seen us. Keep the canvas over those ballistae, lads, perhaps we can pass off as a merchant vessel. If they do come near, we'll give 'em one Hell of a surprise."

-----

Several minutes later, the gates of Zurinth swung open, admitting Lord Madara inside. Just inside the gate stood a single, blue-robed Valtan, flanked by a semicircle of ten guards clad in steel plate, holding their crossbows at the ready. The robed figure called out to Lord Madara:
"I am lord Flavvius Reo Sicarius, son of House Kel-Manil. This," he gestured all around him. "is my city, and these are my people. Tell me Lord Madara, what business have you here?"

((EDIT: Quick nitpick: Flavvius is Sicarius' THIRD son, not first.))

[ June 01, 2008: Message edited by: Impending Doom ]

[Akroma]

" I am lord Madara, highest ruler of the kind of the Tengu, son of Genma, son of Yuyuko. High priest and voice of the one and only godess.
I have come to inform you of a mistake, king of dogs.
This is not your city. This land is claimed by the awe-inspiring wheels of fortune, the clan chosen by the godess, rulers of the southern hemisphere. This town, and every man, every woman, every child, every house and every single stone the streets are paved with are in my possession.
Listen well now, because I will only say this once. I will tolerate you and your kind on my land, if they accomodate to my mandates. From today on, every month, you will have to pay tribute in money and livestock, 10% of everything you have.
Not a single one of you dog-men is allowed to wear, possess or construct any kind of weapon, armor or war constructions. You have the right to continue worshipping whatever gods you may worship, but your priest are not allowed to preach outside of closed doors. Once a year, you will present offerings to the one and only godess, at the night of the mid-summer. Your men are my men, if we are at peace, you will be at peace, if we ar at war, you will be at war, if we strive, you will strive."

As he spoke, he could see the valtan begin to shake with rage, his hands tightly grasped around his crossbow. Before he could answer, Madara's voice again spoke up.

"If you fail to meet these demands, allow me to demonstrate what will happen to you and "your" city"

With a swift motion, he produced a glass vial from his kimono, pouring the contents on the ground.

"This is a mixture of animal tallow and strongly distilled wine". He hit two stones against each other, producing sparks, immediatly igniting the small puddle on the floor.
"I have 60 men flying above "your" city, well outside the reach of your bows. Your larders, your warehouses, your schools, your hospitals, your palace, your temple, your houses and all of your dogs will become ashes, under a rain of fire. And now put this weapon down. My death would ineffitably mean the end of this city, as everything I possess will die along side with me. Put it down and bow before your matser, king of dogs!"

[Armok]

Armok entered the room carrying a few bags of !!elves!! and a bottle of cider the size of himself, he was annoyed because he had not been able to find any cider strong enough. He sat down at the game board and began eating slowly.
At the words "strongly distilled wine" Armok suddenly listened carefully, and made a sweeping gesture from the game board towards the bottle.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All at once 60 Tengu suddenly noticed a decrease in weight.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Armok looked into the furious face of Kanako and Suwako.
"What? I'm thirsty! This stuff wasn't strong enough!"
He summoned a bucket sized goblet, filled it, and gave it to Kanako and Suwako.
"Hope this makes you feel better about it." ((   ))

((Ok, that's actually probably it for me today.))

[Akroma]

((Armok, you just suddenly come into someone elses battle, ruin my whole strategy at a whim, and destroy everything I have planned for days. Unless the Valtans (who obviously don't know the bombs are now harmless) surrender peacefully, this will end in a blood bath, reducing the valtans to rubble and most parts of my army. How nice for you, crippling two of your enemies, dare I say, opportunistic ? I swear, no matter what the outcome of this battle, it is now my highest goal to completely  erase the "elves" from the board, by both military and divine means. And if it takes me 100 turns, you are going down. not to mention that I will also fuck up something up by divine means, I am not just sure what.
PS: fuck you))

Watching Madara's little show, Flavvius' anger faded, and he let out a chuckle.
"Is that your best trick, old man? Fire? Here, let me show you a little something. BOMBARDIERS, make readaaaay!"

He indicated one of many ballistae left unattended along the city walls. At his command, each of the guards produced a small ceramic jar plugged with a wick, and a small flint striking device. As one, the soldiers lit their wicks, and hurled the now flaming jars at the ballista. There was a terrible sound like thunder, and an immense column of flame. Splinters and shards of metal were strewn about as far as ter eye could see, and even some of the foundation stones that once held the siege engine in place were hurled several paces away. Flavvius grinned.

"You threaten us with fire, old man? Then we will return that fire to you one hundredfold. We will scorch your army from the skies above OUR city, and OUR people will strike you down as one. So now," he answered, "perhaps you'd like to try that line again?"

[Impending Doom]

((Wait a minute Akroma, calm down. What did Armok DO, exactly?))
((EDIT: Oh, wait. I see))

Just as Armok lifts the bottle of volatile spirits to his mouth, it vanishes, leaving him clutching an empty bottle. Imp spoke up.
"Armok! 'Ow dare ye! Now I mayn't like Suwako an' Kanako's little strategy 'ere, but ye don' see me complainin' now do ye? I'll 'ave a fair fight here, I will."

Still puzzling over these odd occurences, the Tengu army suddenly flounders in the air as the missing weight now returns to them.

((He took away the alcohol from the bombs, making them impossible to ignite by a mere spark. If one of them would be it by your ballistae, it would still ignite, together with the soldier who carried it. But hey, what am I saying ? Hitting fast moving targets at a distance of 400 feet with a stationary giant crossbow. Common sense trumps, even if you are lucky, you'd hit 10 of them at most. Also, I am too lazy to re-read all your posts, but I assume the guy who is talking to Madara is not your immortal hero, or is he ?))

edit: ((thanks, fairness is not granted if it makes your chances worse.))

((Akroma: I figured it out, and if you REALLY want, I'll let my little fix stand. And they're not fired by ballistae(well, not THESE, at least.) They're thrown. As for Flavvius' immortality, he's got it for now, but if he fails me here, I'm giving it to Larika as 'punishment'  ))
((EDIT: missed your edit. So does that mean you want me to leave it as is, or give it back to them?))
