<pre>      </pre>
<pre>      </pre>
<pre>        Paid informants revealed that Boldagor showed the defenses of a developing city. Strong</pre>
<pre>    walls, stone towers, a dozen or more ballistas on the ramparts. When the sun had risen to</pre>
<pre>    its highest point, Grand Marshal Ari Strongbow commanded his 1st Elven army to advance</pre>
<pre>    upon the city. The 1st Elven group proudly led the Elvens. As the attackers advanced</pre>
<pre>    through the high plains, the first missiles sang out. </pre>
<br>
<pre>                                  <a style="color: maroon">- Long Range Missilers -</a> </pre>
<br>
<pre>    In the initial minutes of battle, defending missilers were able to disrupt the first ranks</pre>
<pre>    of the invaders. The Elven lines imposed substantial casualties upon the city's defenders.</pre>
<br>
<pre>                                        <a style="color: maroon">- Magic -</a> </pre>
<br>
<pre>    Elven wizards dismounted scarcely beyond the range of defending bowmen and began an</pre>
<pre>    incomprehensible incantation. With a mere glare from his fiery eyes Mithrandir's presence</pre>
<pre>    arcane impacted the course of the battle. Arcs of searing fire shot forth from the wizard.</pre>
<pre>    Power-4 wizard Mithrandir incanted in a low forceful tone. A swirling wind began, which</pre>
<pre>    quickly escalated into a full scale tornado that swooped down upon the main ranks of the</pre>
<pre>    enemy! Lor Goldenwood likewise had his presence be seen in similar manner. Power-3 wizard</pre>
<pre>    Lor Goldenwood glowered intently and issued indecipherable utterances. A massive ball of</pre>
<pre>    fire sped toward the main ranks of the enemy and exploded! The Elven Kiri Blackmind</pre>
<pre>    (Power-1) was not a factor in the battle. The Elven mages imposed devastating damage upon</pre>
<pre>    the protectors. </pre>
<br>
<br>
<pre>    Within a few hours, the city defenses were obliterated and an unconditional surrender was</pre>
<pre>    offered. The Elven banner now waves nobly in Boldagor! Elven casualties were put at</pre>
<pre>    12.85%. All Elven leaders survived the battle. Ari Strongbow again shown great valor and</pre>
<pre>    has earned a promotion to Lord Commander. Glidefoot once again shown great valor and has</pre>
<pre>    earned a promotion to General. Surpassing expectations was Thuridil, who once again has</pre>
<pre>    won further glory. He is now a Captain Major. All the Elven wizards survived the fray. The</pre>
<pre>    troops are eager for more victories: morale is up! </pre>
