The dwarves also struck with their gargoyle army but performed quite poorly. With the skies clear the great Tigran army has been able to extract a swift and brutal response. The dwarves will not be so foolish in the future.

We see the reinforcements in the tower, but they should know that we too are regrouping. and soon shall be on the move.

TS

The dwarven nation is no more. Our great hunters have surged through the caves and claimed their holdings. Now there is just one enemy left and we have several routes to their domain.

We are surprised by the rapid demise of the Dwarves. The cats are moving quickly in the underground. The envelope is feeling the heat.

TS

The remnants of the Dwarves continue to harass us. We hope they are doing the same to the Tigers.

Elsewhere, a Rogue spy was riddled with arrows in the caves, and a little hatchling was chopped to its death. The Tiger perhaps underestimates the Envelope.

TS

A few dwarven loyalists have also been slain allowing us free movement within the dwarven mines.

Scouts continue to grab and run while combat forces journey toward war.

These damned Dwarven remnants are really wreaking havoc! We kill one, they come back overnight and kill 3! Where are they coming from??? And why not go after Tiger, their executor???? Arghhh!

TS

Once again, much blood was shed today, some of it quite needlessly. Tiger sure has a lot of troops! but now he's got a few less...

TS

All-in-all: plans are progressing as scheduled.

*sorry about the delay KD.

We got rid of one of those pesky poison spitters, now we'll just have to hunt down the Gladrerunner. Or let it be. Elsewhere, we see that Tiger has taken a shine to the Dwarves, and is now commanding their renegade outfits. Bad news, but not unexpected. [/whisper]

TS

Troop movement but not much more. Our scouts are still in the process of sending reports that we need before we strike.

No fighting today, just watching.

The envelope doesn't look so great today, despite the bravura of our Shade in the face of the surprise Draco attack...

TS

In the underground caves line after line of feeble nomad spearmen werre thrown at the chokepoint secured by Zacyrian and his mammoth Earth elementals. After weakening the creatures, our real forces was sent to battle the creatures and easily dispatched them. We now have property in the elven domain.

Sorry for the delay again. Now that September is over I should be able to get my pace up to a more acceptable level.

Ufff! Our troops fought well through the first two assaults, but unfortunately spells were cast in the battle against our Hero the day prior and we were not able to delay the arrival of the Majourazz's main force as we had intended to do. Things get a bit tricky now for the Envelope.

TS

Today our troops noticed that the elementals have moved from their perch trying for a haste berry tree. Our stealthy forces managed to steal both and now our badly injured foe is stuck in our domain. I wonder what he'll do?

Majourazz has troops everywhere!

TS

Edit: Expecting a Druid from that shopping expedition

Hopefully, we shall be prepared to engage the dark elven forces again in about 3 days time.

Ok, time to think up a new plan. We'll take it as a given that Majourazz has troops around every corner and behind every tree. Probably under the lily pads too!

TS

Explored a bit deeper into the caverns to take a little glimpse at the dark elven capital. Hope our plan works.

Doing what we can now to fend off the Orange Threat.

TS

Our ploy to slow down the Tigers failed, owing to the presence of a Manticore in the area. And in the caverns, our troops chose to defend in stages rather than join all in battle together. Lord Majourazz has sent us the offer of surrending our troops, and judging by the numbers of his forces closing in on us from all sides, we determine that our best alternative is to seal our collective tail in the Envelope and crawl off into the dark corners of shame.

Well played, Majourazz

TS

Majourazz of the Tigrans

Today Zacyrian, Lord of the Dark Elves, showed his hand. Spider webs were cast upon the mainland cave leading to his lair, while the remainder of his forces pushed forward against our army. To cast the webs, Zacyrian was forced to stand alone, caught in his own web. A prize that could not be ignored. A manticore quickly swept in, over the webs and voided the wizard. Troops now advanced upon the spell-less army of evil and easily dispatched them. Not to be over-looked, the manticore's speed allowed him to continue and capture the vacant Dark Elven castle.

Zacyrian's void is not permanent because he still controls the former elven capital, but that kingdom shall soon be under seige as well. Rather than offer blood, a diplomat has been sent to the Dark Elven realm with terms of surrender.

Edit: We have received word from the wise Lord Zacyrian and accept his offer of surrender. He shall forfeit his hold over the last wizard tower and leave these lands. We have agreed to hand over all of the dwarven renegades that caused him so much trouble so that he may repay them for the trouble before he leaves. We didn't like the fat little people either. (GG K.D!)
