That would be False Fetters, right? I must admit that I’ve never played an Air nation.

Also: Nice writeup, dfs! My favorite part is the bit about the wine tasting funny.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-07-29T10:34:27.000Z

I forgot to mention that I loved the writeup, too. (And yours, tenuki, last week!)

Maerlande · 2012-07-29T18:06:50.000Z

Yeah superb write ups guys. You make me feel role playing challenged. I’ve been too caught up blogging and answering questions lately to concentrate on RP.

Maerlande · 2012-07-29T18:13:55.000Z

dfs:

Thank you. Lucky is what it was, but I’ll take luck even though it isn’t in my scales.

My first instinct was to have them sneak out of town and leave Ailbe alone, but then I thought a last stand would fit the theme.

Honestly, staving you off another couple of turns never crossed my mind.

Well for a pair of unplanned teams that was an epic battle.

Maerlande · 2012-08-01T08:03:21.000Z

OMG Nate! That was horrible! I forgot my prophet! Jesus wept. I did my turn while my 5 year old was nattering at me.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-08-01T08:04:18.000Z

This Crooked Trunk game is amazing. I love these settings.

tenuki · 2012-08-01T08:07:24.000Z

The scores suggest I lost the battle (as expected), but did I do some damage?

Really, I hate looking at the score tables when I can’t see my turn. The only worse thing is NOT looking at the score tables when I can’t see my turn.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-08-01T08:12:02.000Z

I saw the battle. Want to know? :)

I’m currently without internet access during my move due to an internet service provider typo, so give me all the gory details. I just hope the flaming arrows went off.

tenuki · 2012-08-01T08:18:30.000Z

Ummm… maybe?

Out with it! (lest I lose control, cross the Atlantic, and remove some more cartilage from your knee)

tenuki · 2012-08-01T08:19:15.000Z

double post

Dave_Perkins · 2012-08-01T08:21:39.000Z

Egad! Sir, I have but little cartilage left. I shall comply.

There was a mighty kerfuffle at Eriu’s capital. The spiders carried the day, and it looked to me like your mages were all trampled. However, the remaining spiders look like pincushions.

What I want to know is: were you helping Eriu, or making a capital grab? Delicious mysteries all over this map!

I can’t! I can’t watch past turn 2 when I realize no bless! It’s TOO painful. Suffice it to say here’s the summary:

Friendly
Commanders 3, killed 0
Regular units 47, killed 41

Enemy (you)
Commanders 17, killed 0
Regular units 139, killed 33

tenuki · 2012-08-01T08:28:21.000Z

‘Remaining’ spiders sounds good. Did I kill non-insignificant number then?

As for my intentions, it was all about upkeep management. Mine, and Maerlande’s, too.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-08-01T08:29:14.000Z

I sort of fast-forwarded through so Maerlande’s the best one to ask.

You kind of bounced off those spiders. They are tough.

But that other report…that sounds promising.

That’s a good question. FWIW, I don’t know the answer either.

pyrhic · 2012-08-01T09:35:02.000Z

Lol, I was watching that thinking ‘Did Maer not script a priest in there, those spiders are running in unblessed’? Even still, I thought that Nate was in trouble, as not enough spiders were going down, and they were right on his lines - but enough chaff got in the way, and those arrows, they finally took their toll.

Tenuki, I think you killed…um, 4. Or so…

Awesome. What was the old adage? “If your counters don’t fit, you must attrit.”

Thanks for the info; I think I can now bear waiting another 6 hours or so to see the carnage.

Sleipnir

Thanks for waiting gentlemen, the game is back online.
