((Urgh, I am sorry for the lack of updates. I have not felt well today.
Niph, are you planning to move Hjolf?
For my turn the Vulpinan scouting group west of Liliaceleba returns to the Town and reports on the position of the Storm Giant's settlement. A group of seven Vulpinan Crossbowmen armed with high-quality steel equipment depart from Romilath, going upstream on the Lathmaile towards Aveceleba. They are escourting a merchant ship that carries three times that in equipment (steel bows, arrows, swords, and a significant amount of armor.). They may be accompanied by other units, but I cannot be sure until tomorrow when Grieger and I finish the situation in Romilath. (sorry about the delay!)
Akroma: an important aside. The area around Aveceleba has been on high alert ever since the last battle. Regular patrols of five vulpinans pass around the capital. Every patrol is accomanpied by a hunter, who would be very likely to recognize that the Tengu are not naitive birds even if they fly at a high altitude. If you march on Aveceleba I must insist that your party run into one of the patrols first.
Current Military Manifest of Aveceleba:
7 - Accomplished Bowvulpi/Spearvulpi (Career soldiers from Liliaceleba)
3 - Competent Axevulpi (Drafted Woodcutters from Liliaceleba, they have been training since arrival.)
2 - Great Bowvulpi/Spearvulpi (The Captain of the Guard and his aide. They have been training for many years, and were hunters before that)
4 - Expert Bowvulpi (Town guards)
2 - Talented Bowvulpi/Talented Ambushers (Drafted Caravan Gaurds)
2 - Proficient Spearvulpi/Proficient Wrestlers (Drafted Caravan Guards)
2 - Proficient Swordvulpi/Proficient Wrestlers (Drafted Caravan Guards)
5 - Assorted Bowmen, ranging from No Lable to Skilled with similar levels in Ambusher (Local Hunters)
8 - Axevulpi/Wrestlers (Recently drafted woodcutters)
1 - Legendary Miner/Wrestler (The head miner, drafted)
3 - Master Miners/Wreslter (Drafted miners)
The carreer soldiers and caravan gaurds have a mix of bronze and copper equipment, the recent draftees are wearing hardened leather and wood.
Twelve more vulpinan citizens arrive and settle in Mutheithru along with a vulpinan trade caravan, expanding the settlement into a Town. A number of them are actually workers.
The first Vulpinan trade caravans begin arriving in Karomatica.))
The first of a number of riverboats fought against the firece current of the river as they approached it's mouth, the merchants not busy with tacking their ships against the river staring at awe at the great statues that ringed the city.
Tomi grinned happily as she thought of Graed's words about the city. Marvels of glass, magical contraptions that everyone used, they had even given him a copy of the blueprints of their fishfarms, which no-one could say was ineffecient in any way. As the first of the ships docked near the edge of the wall, the leaders of each riverboat stepping onto shore and loping up to the gatehouse.
"Hail to the Roshani of Karomotica!"
