I'll register the game once everyone played their first turn.

How is it you've played two turns and I haven't?

Shit, that was on the wrong thread.

Lady Godiva - Day 1

Careless servants had not tended my pools for so long that the water has almost turned to swamp. With a hesitant sigh, I place a single toe inside the water - only to have it trying to suck it in like a creature sensing its first prey in months. With shock and disgust, I call my gardener, Jardins and ask him to hold my hand while I sense the presence of Omah through the depths of the pool.

*sigh*
Everyday, I seem to be thinking up more reasons for Jardins to be near me, that brooding tree-hulk with such gentle hands. I could have stayed in that swamp-pool forever only if Jardins would keep holding my hand. I turn around to express my feelings, "Jardins", I start...
*a splash and squishy sound of sucking*
In his haste to bow to his Lady's call, Jardins let go of her hand!

Turn sent to Fubarno.
Bruce, the turn order in the header is wrong. I didnt notice who I should send it to...taking a guess and sending it on to Fubarno.

[/b]Obrynn the Wise - Day 1 Of The New Upheaval[/b]

For a time I have been content amongst my books and scrolls, directing my accolytes, and wisely ruling the Dwarven kingdom. The defeat of the Shadow God by my nephew and his coalition was the portent for a long time of peace, I thought, but I didn't read the signs properly.

Power breeds corruption. The one I once tutored long ago to defend the helpless and uphold the light is overcome by a shadow and now leads a war aginst his very own son, his holy warriors turned to tools of evil. Emperor Purius XI has gone into the darkness.

This has encouraged foul magic wielders of evil intent. Even now they crawl from benath their toadstools to sew their poisonous quilts, adding to the imbalance and chaos.

The muster is sounded but warriors are few. Thankfully the king of the Draconians, one of my most promising students, is eager to gain glory for his warriors. Youthful exuberance, humph! Oh, to be young again.

And then there is Prince Stefanus. I don't know him well, but I sense a pure heart and a hidden strength. I must look to him to renew the land and return it from the brink of catastrophe.

I overlooked the turn order... I used default when I created the game and turn order posting from another game assuming it would be the same. I didn't notice if Swolte created different turn order from one game to another.

So I understand, from posts, that turn order is:

1) Emperor Purius XI (BruceEstrie)
2) Prince Stefanus (Sprinheel)
3) Omah Krimhogde (jsroy73)
4) Godiva (TimeLord)
5) Obrynn the Wise (Fubarno)

... I received the game, so I'll double chech. If this order is our game order than I fear we'll have to restart, 2 players of the same team are one after the other...

This is the game order :
1) Emperor Purius XI (BruceEstrie)
2) Prince Stefanus (Sprinheel)
3) Omah Krimhogde (jsroy73)
4) Godiva (TimeLord)
5) Obrynn the Wise (Fubarno)

Do you rather keep going or restart and make sure 2 players of same team play one after the other ?

Restarting or not, either way is fine with me!
I just hope my dear Bane gets lucky next time around too with a good artifact.

bump?

I dont really mind the order, but if we have to restart then so be it. Too bad, I had a good start, but maybe it will be even better next time

What's the status of this game?

I think BruceEstrie is out of town.

Since there will be a restart since I didn't pay attention at the turn order when I generated the game (And me too I had a very nice start - actually I'm not sure I'll try that gamble again... might not be as much lucky!)

And Fub is right, I'll be returning home in few days (4-5), sorry for the delay.

Game regenerated and sent.
Now order as per sticky post, so all three teams play together (Empire, Obryn-Stefanus, Godiva-Omah)

Ts, though I got some kind of spam-blocker message, so I don't know whether it went through or not.

Lady of the Pools - Day 1

Like a foretelling sensed in a dream, events unravelled the same way they did! If slightly marred by tougher resistance and more opponents and a not-quite useful little artifact, it was still quite a shock that everything happened as they did!
...but I did remember the splash in the dream and if anything can be changed, it should be!! The effrontery of that man - dropping me into a pool like a sack of stone. Sitting a-straddled on his shoulders, I ask him to wade to the center of the pool and touch a delicate toe to the slimy water. Omah - in all her resplendent Goblin glory, beautiful (if only by Goblin standards) and resolute. We are going to make men obey our every whim...and it starts today with Jardins.

Turn sent to Jsroy

Ouch!

***** Emperor Purius XI *****

Good evening Generals,

This is our first meeting since we, Archons, banished evilness. Some minor races leaders now claim what is mine. Even worst, Stefanus the traitor is leading some villages against my Will. This shall not be tolerated.

Phobius will be under siege tomorrow and might even fall, depending how many defenders stay indoor... but they will most likely run for their life, we all know their courage !

Villagers of Tirandu will certainly be remembered who their Emperor is... some might live if they bow low enough.

Averni's garnison just proclaimed themselves independent... I bet I'll be able to teach them the value of gold. But that must wait, budget is still written with red ink.

Today's accomplishment goes to Serverus, who handle 4 guarding elves (I know, only elves... but still.) by himself.

Today's stupidity goes to that fool (now deep in a dungeon! who send 2 warmachines against a lonely ingineer... I know he was alone, but engineers has sabotage!

Now go mighty Generals, and fight as archons !

DUTY AND HONOR !!

The Emperor has hit us hard, as we expected. I don't know how many villages will be able to resist their forces. Unfortunately, our side is quite poor and unable to hire any troops to help. We are trying to decide where to make our stand.

Obrynn - 2

Things progress at a steady clip as I gear up for war.

Lady Godiva

With the old alliances with the Goblins reforged, the Dark Elven nation can start an earnest search for more heroes to carry forth the glory.
Lady Bane has secured enough followers now to start fighting in earnest, though the last battle was not easy at all. Dalviana on the other hand, achieved spectacular successes in her two battles and is poised to advance quickly in her abilities - pray, one of that should be Healing.

Turn sent

Bribed one of the Emperor's generals to join us, but it drained our coffers.

Obrynn - 3

A young lass from the Syron race was persuaded to loin my draco army.

Remabant and his company ran down some rampaging minotaurs.

Lady Godiva - Day 3

Stretching langurously by one of the pools, I engage Omah in conversation and we talk of baubles and men and how easy it is to kill or snare them. It seems that even though all races are different, the males all have the same weaknesses *cough* um, characteristics.

Lady Bane and Dalviana are progressing in strength rapidly, though each is far short of where I stand now. Reminding them of that just seems to spur them on to achieve more in a day than I thought possible. Maybe, women are not so different from men, after all - just different weaknesses. Hmmmm. *thoughtful frown*

Now, Jardins, here is one to take one's breath away just by his mere touch. Of course, he cannot be called a man...it would be so...so demeaning!!! He makes a tree trunk look slim!! My own Jardins!

Turn sent

Obrynn -

Shankur reports some raiders from the desert have infiltrated his caverns and will cause some discomfort. This is unfortunate.

Rembant is saddened by the greedy dwarves he was forced to slay today as they obstructed the necesary steps needed to gear up for conflict.

Lady Godiva - Day 3

My sisters have gone into a sulk! Neither refuses to do anything which might harm her followers. Her?!!!!! They forget everyone are my followers! Something has to be done to remind them of that...and the droplets splashing out of my pools as I enjoy the soothing caresses of Jardins will certainly not do that.

I command Jardins to find a suitable place for me to explore, one which will not harm my delicate senses and yet, give me a chance to exercise my powers. A quest of great importance and Jardins has already set forth, sending scouts in all directions to please his mistress. Till they return, I guess I have nothing else to do other than relax and prepare myself for the upcoming encounter. *Splash*

Turn sent

We seem to be stuck. Is it with JSRoy, and does he require a resend?

I did send it to Jsroy (along with the other email games I had to send to him). I will email him and if he requires a resend, I can send it again!

Thanks Timelord. JSRoy, I know you're out there...

[This message has been edited by Fubarno (edited 09-08-2005 @ 11:37 AM).]

I have resent the turn to Jsroy, just in case...

Thanks for the resend. Dont hesitate to eMail me when games are stuck at my turn if you can. Anyway, I just received the turn and played it.

TS

I just got another message saying my email couldn't be sent because "To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I have approved beforehand."

Obrynn - 5

A hero of the dwarves has rallied to lead my forces. We must now get our finances in better order as gold and especially man is in short supply.

Lady Godiva - Day 5

What wretched lands are these where animals roam freely and have not the respect for witches' holdings as they rightly should have?. And what people are these *tongue curdling in distate* Archons who will go to any lengths to secure these lands?. Dalviana is infuriated!! and so is Lady Bane! Why must a warlord stand guard when he can accompany her growing army?. Why doesn't the earth elemental crumble to the stone it was wrought from at the sight of her fiery self?.
With both questions answered to her satisfaction, I finally decide to step outside to charm two of those cute frostling riders...tomorrow, maybe.

I played my turn during last night... TS
