When the sun had risen to its highest point, the 2nd Lizard Men army group raced to engage
the defensive position of the 2nd Ranger army group led by General Arias Blackstar. Aware
of the political situation that had declared the Ranger to be treated as an enemy of their
interests, the Lizard Men troops were invigorated and had their morale raised as they
prepared to battle their declared enemy! Aware of the political situation that had
declared the Lizard Men to be treated as an enemy of their nation, the Ranger troops were
clearly anxious for battle and had their morale raised as they prepared to fight their
declared enemy! As the attackers advanced through the green fields, the battle began.

- Archers -

The long range Lizard Men skilled spear throwers and the highly efficient bowmen of the
Ranger force initiated their attack. The Lizard Men forces caused light damage upon the
Ranger forces as the Ranger caused minor losses to their enemy. The short range Lizard Men
skilled spear throwers and the highly efficient bowmen of the Ranger force initiated their
attack. The Lizard Men lines caused minor losses upon the Ranger ranks and, in return, the
Ranger inflicted light losses to their enemy.

- Magic -

Lizard Men mages dismounted barely beyond the range of defending bowmen and began an
animated incantation. Incanting forcibly Blue Tongue's presence wizard force impacted the
course of the battle. Blinding light shot forth from his position. Yellowskin also let his
presence be known in similar manner. Constance likewise had his presence be seen in
similar fashion. Power-3 Wizard Constance slowly spoke in an arcane language, gestures
building to a crescendo. He then created a powerful warding, which would protect the
heroes and wizards of his force from the black magics of any opposing spellcasters. Ranger
mages dismounted just beyond the range of defending bowmen and began an animated
incantation. Stormbringer's presence was evident. Earth tremors shot forth from him.
Power-5 Wizard Stormbringer incanted in a low forceful tone. He then created a powerful
warding, which would protect the heroes and wizards of his force from the black magics of
any opposing spellcasters. Power-2 wizard Malkan threw back his hood and gestured in an
animated fashion which caused his image to disappear from the battlefield! Power-1 wizard
Kazanor while seemingly detached from all else, seemed to draw within himself and began to
incant which caused his image to disappear from the battlefield! The Lizard Men forces
imposed minor losses upon the Ranger forces in response, the Ranger inflicted minor damage
to their foes.

- Cavalry -

The outcome of the battle was still very much in doubt. Quickly, Captain Mezloc led the
Lizard Men riding Saurus beside unmounted Saurus down upon the deadly expert riders of the
Ranger. The Lizard Men forces dealt out light losses upon the Ranger ranks in response,
the Ranger caused light losses to their foes.

- Conclusion -

Ranger casualties had now exceeded acceptable levels in the judgement of General Arias
Blackstar so the order for retreat was sounded. Losses in retreat for the Ranger were
minor. Lizard Men casualties were put at 25.36%. All Lizard Men leaders survived the
battle. In the heroic tradition of the Lizard Men kingdom, a valiant leader has
distinguished himself in this battle. He is Centurion Slithermojo. All the Lizard Men

distinction was an Rock Golems brigade. They are now a Veteran brigade. An Skeletons unit
earned promotion to Veteran status. The troops are eager for more victories: morale is up!
Ranger casualties were put at 18.63%. All Ranger leaders survived the battle. Arias
Blackstar impressed and has been elevated as a Major General. Fighting gloriously was Vor

And then there was the Ancient Ones....*sigh*

I assume you are referring to me sending an emmisary to your town in southern sands. Since you took my town in arcania without provocation you can hardly complain.

[Thunderb0lt]

If that is the extent of the action then it is of no consequence, doesnt help me, doesnt hinder me. And for LI to make an implied objection about that seems ... impertinent? By the way Sinestro, how many brigades did you lose?

[Sinestro]

Sorry I had to edit this post Thunderbolt. I really don't want to say everything because it will give away intel that I know. But I briefly looked at my turn at 2 am. I saw the AN move into a pop center and the other turn he denigrated me twice with his councils.

So you know. I only took your pop Center because it was in Arcania. I did not want to start a war with you Ancient Ones.

I lost 4 brigades. You?

Where was my help friends of Alamaze on the high council issue?

I'm surprised you did not intercept my group again. I honestly thought you were going to try to wipe out my group. I never played the RA but I do know they have a good military and the best leaders.

[Sinestro]

What's going on with the Elf and cimmerians? You guys are quiet up north
