You sure you arent going for your 4th region now Sinestro LI ? This battle went better than i expected. What i dont understand, i had a group with Estimated value vs. PC: 51,203 led by Major General and used a Pow 4 to parley with your town with 10,274 defense in tolerant region and it failed !? wtf. Also like the way i killed your captain and then he was reincarnated as a centurion.

Late in the afternoon, with a deep throated bellow from its commander, the 2nd Lizard Men
army group raced to engage the defensive position of the 3rd Ranger full army commanded by
General Airetar. Holding that their nation had declared the Ranger to be an enemy of their
nation, the Lizard Men forces were clearly anxious for battle and gained a morale boost as
they prepared to battle their declared enemy! Aware of the political situation that had
declared the Lizard Men to be an enemy of their nation, the Ranger troops were noticably
energized and had their morale raised as they prepared to fight their declared enemy! As
the attackers advanced through the high plains, the first missiles sang out.
- Archers -
The long range Lizard Men skilled spear throwers and the highly efficient bowmen of the
Ranger force initiated their attack. The Lizard Men lines claimed light damage upon the
Ranger ranks as the Ranger inflicted light casualties against the enemy. Short range
missilers from both sides stepped forward and let loose a volley of arrows. The Lizard Men
forces caused noticable casualties upon the Ranger forces as the Ranger imposed light
damage against the enemy.
- Magic -
Lizard Men wizards dismounted just past where the defensive missiles were falling and
began an elaborate incantation. Blue Tongue's presence was noted. Sonic blasts shot forth
from the wizard. Constance likewise had his presence be known in like fashion. Ranger
wizards dismounted scarcely beyond the range of defending bowmen and began an
incomprehensible spell. Delefont's presence was clear. Earth tremors shot forth from the
wizard. Rhiannon also had his presence be known in similar fashion. Power-6 wizard
Rhiannon threw back his hood and gestured in an animated fashion. With a horrible shout, a
black ray shot forth from his hand and instantly struck dead one of the opposing heroes,
much to the dismay of the enemy! The Lizard Men ranks dealt out minor casualties upon the
Ranger lines in return, the Ranger caused light damage to their enemy.
- Conclusion -
Losses to the Ranger had risen above expectations: General Airetar ordered the retreat.
Losses in retreat for the Ranger were minor. Lizard Men casualties were put at 7.60%.
Unfortunately, the Lizard Men Captain Great Wyrmikan was found dead in the vanguard with
many wounds. Despite our kingdom's special healing abilities, our skilled physicians could
not save him. Mezloc again distinguished himself and has earned a promotion to Major
General. In the proud tradition of the Lizard Men kingdom, a valiant champion has emerged
in this engagement. He is Centurion Great Wyrmikan. All the Lizard Men wizards survived
the fray. The troops are anxious for more victories: morale is up! Ranger casualties were
put at 18.13%. All Ranger leaders survived the battle. Knight of Kyr demonstrated tactical
awareness and has been recognized as a General. All the Ranger wizards survived the fray.
The toll of battle has diminished the group's morale.

Greetings fellow Kings.
Congratulations to the Rangers in regaining Arcania this turn. The ancient ones have always pursued their own secretive agenda. However we watched with alarm the lizard men's successful takeover of Arcania. Seemingly the ranger king was effectively neutralized which had the result of an aggressive lizard man Kingdom making up the majority of our northern border. This prompted us to put our former goals on hold and launch a preemptive attack against them. Possibly this action of ours will result in a lessening of the pressure our treaty partners the rangers have been dealing with up to now.

Salute to Ancient Ones. We the Ranger Kingdom appreciate your involvement in this matter. Currently we are regaining control of other PC's in Arcania despite the unwarranted violent kidnappings and assassinations of our court and military attacks on our region. It appears that several LI groups still remain in Arcania and the 2LI army group sits at Avalon. Although it does appear by LI king statements that they have abandoned Arcania, the prevalence of military and emmisaries in the region have cast doubts. We shall take his word at face value but will continue to verify.
The next pressing concern is the Cimmerian gain , and Ancients, of a 3rd region. With 4 seasons remaining, and no ill will toward either kingdom, the Rangers offer our hand in friendship. We ask for a report from the Elves as to how dire the situation may be.

Trust me, the Elves are doing fine, even if they don't seem interested in fighting any actual battles. Seriously, a probing attack, in the woods? That's his favored terrain. It should have at least been a tac 2.
I might have lost the Mists this turn if I hadn't retaken Viperhead.

Game 547 ended by the Ancient One Rex victory.
The earlier game had a lot of uncertainty. The lizard men seemed poised to attack in Southern Sands and the elves in Runnymede. I think everyone contemplated invading the center of the board as numerous players had agents operating there. When the lizard attacked Arcania, I decided to try to pick up as many artifacts as I could in case the game went 24 turns. It was only after the lizard men appear to be beating the Rangers easily did I become concerned that Southern Sands would be his fourth region and I invaded him. He appears to have dropped the very next turn which influenced me to move on into the Eastern steps before anyone could react.
