My, how different the view is above ground, even if it is a little chilly around here. Income's a little low, time to go brow-beat some dwarves.

Mab
Day 1

This land shows promise. Already my faithful servant Narzalal has found a wand unattended in a field. Nearby, the slower members of my small army prepare for an assault upon some dwarven mines.

TS

A very full land around us. Much to clean up.

Mab
Day 2

The mines have fallen, but we curse our luck as we find the nearest node guarded by a foul multi-headed beast.

TS

Mab
Day 3

Today went well as we were able to take much needed resources from some wimpy halflings, and the battle with the dreaded hydra went well with no losses and minor injuries.

TS

Trying to decide which way to go is always a challenge. Found a group of draconions in need of leadership, should finish those negotiationsnetxt turn.

Mab
Day 4

A scout falls to some vicious Dark Elves, but this is offset by some positive developments...

TS

Completed negotiations with the draconions, starting to push at the edge of my vision, but i seem to have a problem with independants mistaking my explorers for targets.

Mab
Day 5

Another triumph today. Soon after, some elves tried to take advantage of our weakened state, but failed miserably.

TS

Mab
Day 6

The search for viable targets is frustrating. I fear that we may fall behind if scouting doesn't become more productive.

TS

Mab
Day 7

A lonely scout stumbled upon a wounded zephyr bird under the leadership of Artica. We considered putting the poor beast out of it's misery, but remembered that other enemies still lurk in this land. Meanwhile a magic rift was converted to our sphere of magic with no losses. Our wounded will slow our expansion for a time.

TS

I've met my first neighbor, Mab, who has offered me peace, and I have accepted. That should prevent any unfortunate misunderstandings while we clear the board of lesser races. Wisely done Queen Mab.

In other news, snow is really slow to walk across.

Mab
Day 8

A distant scout has located the realm of yet another wizard. We should meet them soon. These lands become more crowded with each passing day.

TS

I trudge over the snow to lay seige to an orc town, while my scouts are being picked off one by one by the independants.

Mab
Day 9

My plans will have to change. The rivers make expansion difficult, and I fear that we will fall further behind with each passing day.

TS

Still trudging through the snow to reach the orc town

Mab
Day 10

One of my scouts approached an orcish town. The inhabitants seemed to want something. Evidently they feared an invasion, as they were eager to join my empire.

TS

As I prepare to take the orcish town, I find my good friend mab has taken up residence there. I send in a polite note with decorating suggestions, and then move on to greener pastures.

Mab
Day 11

Independents are running rampant and have caused serious injury to my main force.

TS

I'm doinga lot of walking, but not finding much new.

Mab
Day 12

TS

turn sent yesterday.
