Silent Seas AAR

[Daynarr]

Yeah, you see all damage done in battle by both normal or magic damage. Poison included.

[Agrajag]

Ohhh, turn 32, you should be escaping your prison soon.

[Nerfix]

Nice Gandharva regiment you got there! How easy is it to summon them?

And Kinnara? What are they?

Any chance of getting screenies of new spells?

And Yogis, you've mentioned them but we've only seen a Guru...

[st.patrik]

re. Agrajag - I hope I will be escaping soon. It's a long time to be without your god!

Gandharvas require skill of 2 Astral to cast, so any guru can do the ritual

Kinnara you will see as soon as I can summon one

and finally here's a picture of a yogi:

Turn 33
An arena death match has just been announced. I have the opportunity to send one champion to vie for the prize. After much deliberation I have decided to send a recently recruited Yaksha by the name of Carusara. Carusara is a gifted individual, but unfortunately the yogis haven't yet come up with too many useful duel-like spells. I guess he'll have to make do.

Devasura would likely be more effective, but his loss would be awkward right now, whereas Carusara is a little more expendable. Of course that's not the story I'm telling him...

My instructions are for him to summon an Earth Elemental, and then bless himself, but after this, press ahead and attack. I am going to load him up with earth gems to make sure he doesn't get fatigued.

Other than this event things are pretty stable. Asamati is attacking the last of the independant provinces next month, and then it will be time to gear up for invasion of one or other of my unsuspecting neighbours.

Turn 34
I swear the death match was rigged! Somehow I got put in fighting Caelum first thing. I summoned my earth elemental, he summoned an air elemental. So far so good.



I blessed myself in preparation for the attack, he summoned another air elemental. Things still might have been alright had Carusara gone all the way to the rear before cutting across to attack, but instead he decided he would attack the air elementals. While he was on his way the Caelian summoned a third air elemental, and at that point Carusara's fate was well and truly sealed.



Here is the culprit - one of Caelums dirty Eagle Kings. Now I'm really mad.



After this T'ien Ch'i entered the arena against Caelum. I guess the Caelian (may his name never be uttered until he is dead) had used all his good gems on killing Carusara, so all he had left was small water elementals to buffet the noble that T'ien Ch'i sent in to the arena.



The noble managed to take out the elementals, and had a long duel with the Caelian, throwing magical attacks against each other, until in the end the noble from T'ien Ch'i lost his nerve and retreated from the field, which of course is a win for Caelum.

Vanheim did not send a representative.


I will be presenting the judges with an official complaint - I'm sure that they were bribed to allow the Caelian to attack me first, rather than after his strength was depleted!


Back home in Kailasa, Asamati took the last independant province around these parts, and now is heading home. I need to decide if it's going to be T'ien Ch'i I attack or Vanheim...tough decision.

[Nerfix]

Ouch! Caelum may have lost on the field but they won in the arena. That Eagle King sure looks nasty.

I would recommend Tien Chi. Unless Vanehim is losing really badly to them you might be able to break Tien's power.

[Sindai]

Yeah, how much of that is random picks? 7 magic plus 2 holy is pretty amazing.

[ioticus]

Are arena matches worthwhile now? What is the prize? Does the AI still send its pretenders foolishly into battle?
