Finally I've shrugged of the yoke of my oppressors and am ready to reestablish order in what was our ancesteral home. My resources are few, but with time, I will be mighty.

All-Devourer - Day 1

Translation: The hive senses rebelious Syron slaves and portals to the non-shadow world. The hive must feed.

The nearby mine seems to be protected by beings of extreme light. Time to explore elsehere.

All-Devourer - Day 2

1st swarm of the hive is forming for the feed.

All-Devourerer - Day 3

My 1st swarm slaughters two baby dragons for the resource pile they gaurd, and feeding. One spawn shows promise for an earling molting. The 1st swarm heads of for more feeding.

I begin the hatching of a new swarm.

I seem to have found an unwelcome humon on my doorstep as I went through the entrance into the world of light. As he was clearly hostile, I had to eliminate him. Unfortunate, they could have been interesting allies.

All-Devourerer - Day 5

In the non-shadow world my 1st swarm ambushed a lone chaplain of the human wizard Vorsar. One of my larva feasted on him and is a step closer to his molting. Another chaplain is spotted and my swarm shambles toward him trailing salivatious slime.

All-Devourerer - Day 6

A day without feeding is a day without darkness. Tomorrow the swarm shall fill its multi-chambered bellies.

All-Devourerer - Day 7

The feeding went as planned.

How easy a life these strange creatures have lead, here under the sun with no demons to devour their children. They claim to be neutral, but they no not the nature of what they fail to oppose. We must teach them kindly, but teach them, before the shadow reach us.

Elven flesh, a bit sweet, but nutritious enough for my spawn nonetheless.

hmmmm. loose balistae running around. I'll need to take care of that.

All-Devourer - day 9

My flying scout spotted O'neron's forces possibly preparing to attack Vorsar. This is troubling.

All-Devourer - Day 10

My flying scout observes the movements of O'neron's forces headed south, past Vorsar.

My troops capture a human village from O'neron and one of my hero's kills a spying boar.

Thought about taking the human capital, and decided against it. Perhaps later, but for now it is too costly. as it is I will have to spend more dealing with the counter-invasion that I would have prefered.

All-Devourer - Day 11

My spawn lick their mandibles and rub their multi-chambered stomachs in anticipation of syron flesh.

Some mystical force prevented my troups from attacking the human capital. Hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow.

(I restarted cause my computer froze up. I didn't think it appropriate to do the big combat on a turn with a restart.)

All-Devourer - Day 12

My spawn feasted on a syron warrior.

The loss of a warrior is a seroius blow. If we are to retain our freedom, we will need to refocus on our priorities, and worry about the humans later.

All-Devourer - Day 13

O'Beron's troops seem confused and can't decide who would like to be devoured first.

Evidently the financial reserves of the shadow people were good. I return to the circus tent to find it bare of those I would ahve hired. I'm not sure I have the troops to achive my goals here without them.

All-Devourer - Day 14

The misguided of O'neron marched onto the field and dared to taunt my army inside the walls of the human village. I ordered a scout to look closer. Shremlok(shadow demon curse)! The trickster had a leprachaun. My scout didn't have the speed to make it to safety before the enemy could attack. What to do? Risk one or all?

I ordered the attack. The results are both good and sad. Good in that victory was had. Sadness in that my two larvae died in the battle and didn't get the oportunity to mature and metamorphasize into greater demons. I will produce an even greater army of larvae to take up their soul consuming purpose.

All-Devourer - Day 15

I order scouts to investigate from where O'beron's forces are coming.

Trudge Trudge Trudge.

All-Devourer - Day 16

The scouts spotted another O'neron force. The archon priest Arcos leads the potent force of 3 lightning catchers and 4 lurkers. The scouts flee having fulfilled their recon.

Note: the game seemed to lock after I ended turn, on the screen where it says independents are moving. I closed the game, reopened the turn and was able to send. All should be ok, no restart, but if the game won't start, you know the reason. Email me and I'll have to replay my last turn, a quiet day of rest and no battles.

My priest is not sure he has the troops available to achieve his mission. Indecsion reigns.

(Game played fine, so I'm notsure what the problem was.)

All-Devourer - Day 17

Arcos and company disapeared.

My prest has fallen to enemy knights. Night is falling.

I have repurchased my town. We'll see where it goes next.

turn sent

All-Devourer - Day 20

my larvae takes O'nerons watch tower in the shadow land.

All-Devourer - Day 21

My larvae take a goldmine and still no sign of O'neron's troops in shadow land.

I have defeated the larvae. It may be my last victory, but I'm enjoying it none the less

All-Devourer - Day 22

Consumed the souls to make more larvae. Soon I shall have Yaru.

Havn't received the turn yet. Please resend.

All-Devourer - Day 23

I smell Yaru. I devour his soul tomorrow.

Yaru starts to write out a will, and then realizes that there isn't anyone left to leave anything to, and soon there will be nothing left to leave.

All-Devourer - Day 24

Yaru devoured. Victory is mine.

Post it up and we can do this map again from switched sides if you'd like. Let me know. You can start it if you have time. I need to run out right now. Thanks for the game. Talk later.

Thanks for the game. I did a couple of truly unwise things, hopefully I've learned a few lessons from them.

I'm almost always up for a rematch. I'll get that set up now.
