The RA has invaded Arcania (and undertaken many assassinations against our kingdom) and so we will fight him and invite you to join the fight to defend our Region as agreed.

Brother,
We need your response. Where do you stand vis a vis the Gnome/Dwarf? Also, although it saddens us greatly, it looks as though we are indeed at war with the Giant ... and therefore probably the Black Dragon. The Giant denigrated us in our own region this month.
We await word from you and from the Black Dragon.

I can be at his capital in a couple months.   But need to work out details with the UN.   I think this TR capital has a good starting base of defense and gold to add some magical remodeling and it could make an excellent monument for the UN to hide his trophies he collects with potentially all three of our navies guarding the waters who would dare pass.  To make up for lost time once my military is there I can accelerate the time scale of bringing it up to monument status and the UN could choose say which spells Defense or Gold are cast upon it.

AN - UN/GN
We would propose you allow the GN and I prepare the town for your fortress and give us both exclusive protection from your hit lists and we would provide you with this town that starting base of a former capital and 15 casting of 601/603 of your choosing.  Bottle nose for your part in this of giving up such a valued piece of property I will cover your 5 spells extra spells and claim the property from its unrightful owner, plus we would both declare the UN ally and patrol the seas for added protection of his and our assets.

Is this something both of you can agree to?

(UN->AN/GN)
For the fortress being proposed located behind the protective patrols of allied navies, I would indeed forgo any contracts on Ancient or Gnomish assets.

Excellent, then we are all agreed! I will declare the Underworld an ally this month for Sea Patrol protection, and that will also help avoid getting hit by any regional effect spells. And our sincere apologies for this month's inadvertent hit... the Friendly reaction level in Runnimede after I declare you ally will regenerate that morale in due course.

We look forward to this new and exciting chapter in our relationship!

Best,

Red Mage,

The 1DW army group led by Warlord Galdor is at my town in the Northern Mists at GQ.

If you have any information to share on the Dwarves, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

I know very little about much of anything. I have relocated my own armies to the northeast-most regions of Talking Mountains and will campaign there for a while. I will refrain from turning towns into smoking rubble in this region for now since that will only hurt us in the long run. Although it would be fun.

The 1DW is a significant force, but I do not know how many brigades. It does contain 3 P4 wizards.

There is a 2nd Dwarven group somewhere in the Talking Mountains, but they aren't getting much sleep.

Otherwise the only thing I know about is the location of the population centers, but you already have that info. Whatever you know about would help me as well. If you have a current recon of Hammerhold it would be most helpful. Would you like to claim that city as part of your spoils of war?

DW-WA

Red Mage,

If you can take Hammerhold in the near future, please feel free. We can always adjust if necessary when things calm down, and I promise I will be reasonable and flexible. Worst case, we both show up at Hammerhold the same month, in which case we will have more security.

For the 2DW information, do you have any more specifics? Location, size, when specifically the information was obtained? Or wait, I think I understand, the group was affected by Demonic Visions this month, I imagine.

Finally, I unfortunately have little recon information myself, as well, as I have been repositioning a bit.

Best,
Bottlenose

PS: If you could please Ward the GN emissary UG this turn, that would be wonderful.

Hail Brother!

I did indeed invade the Giant. He is a hostile force that over the last 4 months, along with his Warlock ally, has been taking hostile actions against me.  It is not I who wanted to go to war.  They have continuously undertaken king and agent actions against me including assassinations.  I felt no option as whether we wanted it or not, the GI and WA clearly had their sights set upon us. 

As an example of this, why would the GI denigrate you except that he already had in his mind you were his target?

At this point our only option is to give the Giant the war he so desperately craved. Please direct as much might as you can afford against his northern holdings in Arcania.

Your eternal friend,
LS

RA - BL


Hail Great Lord,

We had not heard back from you.  We greatly desire to remain your loyal vasal.  To this end, we offer you control of Arcania. Please join us in our struggle againt the treacherous Giants and when the conflict is over we will turn control of his region over to you.

Your loyal servant,
Lothaedus

RA - GN


Great friend, these are trying times. Both the Giant and Warlock are our active enemy and have been taking histile actions against us for some time. I sincerely ask you to not make any aggreements with these kingdoms who are threatening the very safety and life of your daughter with their insistence upon war and invasion. If possible, we could greatly use your assisstance against this evil alliance. It has come to my attention that the Warlock is using fouls magics to sway leaders to come to his views. Please employ defensive magic and help us rid this world from his warmongering ways.

Yours always,
LS

Brother,
You are, of course, correct. The Giant clearly wants war.
We stand at your side.
DA - GN and AN
Good Ruler of the Gnomes,
My brother, the Ranger, is your brother too. Let us form a lasting alliance between The Drow, The Ranger, The Ancient Ones and The Gnomes. We will fight all enemies together (except that I will not attack dear Oban), and defend each other as well. We are one family.
DA - DW
Good Oban, 
I regret that events have led to this conclusion. Fare thee well.
DA - WA
Red Mage


The Drow are satisfied that we have had a measure of justice. We now find ourselves with more in common than not. Let us end our hostilities.py
