I forgot to mention here who is what Wizard. may fill in later.

Orc of War, Day 1

We kill, kill, kill, and kill some more.

Strange world in which we've awoken.

Tomorrow we will kill some more.

TS

Muradin Falstad the Clever named, Day 1

Who would guess it? We are breaking from prison.
We did a little bit less of killing than orcs, but on the other hand we made some sketchy friends.

Turn sent.

Dark Elves, Day 1

We took our Storm Priest with us into the first battle. This was on shadow terrain, so the weak guards were able to surround and kill him while our shade was netted.

Then we fought a pair of efreets, whose fire is potent against shades. We defeated them as our hero had 1 HP and was burning, and our shade on half health. Then we found some other dark elves, including a Storm Priest.

All of this was perfectly calculated and according to plan.

ooc: Restart message is either because I started the game without being the first to have a turn, or because I pressed 'cancel' after bringing up the end turn dialog the first time. Or both.

Mr. Underwood, Day 1

I ended up in jail for something I didn't do. I wasn't even there that night, no matter what the supposed witnesses said. At any rate, I shouldn't have ended up there so I decided to leave. Luckily the guy in the cell next to mine also wanted to get out (and I'm sure he is innocent too) so I had a little help.

Turn sent.

Orcs, Day 2

Was probably supposed to zig, but we chose to zag. Got to kill some people which made up for the empire building delays. And we got an awesome cloak of grass concealment.

ooc: Not much better when escaping from endless caves and fighting the AI than a cloak of grass concealment. I should really stick to the script on these heavily scripted maps I guess. ;-)

TS

Muradin Bronzebeard, Day 2

Seems like there is a lot of helpful guys in nearby cells in this world.
Nothing like gaining bunch of evil units for my good leader.

Turn sent.

Day 2, Dark Elves

Having one priest instead of two is really tiresome.

Mr. Underwood, Day 2

I was able to reach the guy in the next cell today. He looks a little weird but seems nice enough, and he knows how to dig our way out of here.

Turn sent.

Falstad Wildhammer, Day 3

Who let the dogs out?
And R.I.P. my precious sweet... cannon fodder (don't you love it when fight starts and suicdie bombers are able to reach you before you react? I certainly do.)

Turn sent.

Dark Elves, Day 3

We are in reach of a Wizard's Tower, but it's sad that we lost our Shaman. At least he got us a wolf, shame that hellhounds don't count as animals.

Off to the side, a brigand of ours is wading through spiderwebs. He is deeply unamused by this mission.
Is this a reference to something?

He is known cheater.

Mr. Underwood, Day 3

Tunneling we go.

Turn sent.

Orcs, Day 4

Wow. We thought we killed a lot of folks on Day 1.

Today the streets ran red with blood. We killed Elves, we killed Dwarves, we killed Humans, and to put a little icing on the cake, we even killed some Orcs. Buggers should offer their services for free to their one true Master. Lesson taught!

TS

ooc: That sure was a lengthy and interesting turn. Didn't even need to wait till Turn 22 to execute my cheating ways. ;-)
