Lords of Alamaze,

Recent troubles facing the Warlock empire have made us far less competitive on a grand scale.  In order to continue our ongoing experiments with game mechanics, we have decided to accept a diminished role.


With this in mind, I'd like to introduce you to our new venture, TrollsNmages4hire.  For a nominal fee, we can destroy land-based non-fortified towns and villages.  Negotiable rates, satisfaction guaranteed.  No payment accepted until the job is done.  Just post region and PC type, after the per-PC fee is negotiated, we'll do the rest.  Specific PCs, cities, fortified PCs and small groups can also be targeted, and while rates for this elite work are quite high, financing is available.

RD - WA.  

Perhaps you would be willing to consider a retainer for the services of a group of three wizards and there entourage of leaders/troops.   Perhaps 50k a turn.  Maybe not as much as one could make for a single action but consider the consistent income a value add.

WA -> RD  Thank you for your interest in TrollsNmages4hire!  We would be most interested in work were our trolls get to get their hands dirty, but we absolutely would consider different supporting roles, as well as retainer for extended service.  We are currently specializing in small groups, but can scale up, or even offer wizard-only groups for the right price.


You mentioned wizards, leaders, and troops, obviously the most versatile group with all three components.  For your offer of 50k per turn we can do a 3-troll 2-wizard (5,4) group with a Marshal leading for your offer of 50k per turn. If our arrangement goes well, we can add another wizard (4) at a later time.  This is a great entry level choice as your group will be able to cast Bounty, plunder villages and towns (with little to no recovery time, trolls heal well), and obviously all the classics: hidden ore, fertile fields, sleep, ward as well as meteor strike that stubborn PC.  This group configuration also teleports invisible and is highly capable of recovering artifacts in the field.  With advanced notice, this group can be split, temporarily, for your convenience (while supplies of empty groups last).

If you would be willing to divulge the task at hand, perhaps I could offer different solutions?  If you absolutely need 3 wizards for 50k, (and please specify levels required) perhaps there are other components of the group you can do without?  For instance, protection duty for dragon groups would require only wizards and we might be able to do 3 wizards for 50k.

How much for a bounty spell for Her faithful? She is willing to consider multiple turn arrangements.

For a single power 5 wizard for one turn, including a travel turn and related expenses, we could perhaps do 45k, with a single re-cast on possible failure for an additional 15k.  A bundle of three turns we could do for 120k with one free re-cast on a possible failure.  Financing available, first month in advance. (Disclaimer: trollsNmages4hire inc. is not responsible for possible spell failures.  Regional spells are subject to events and conditions in your region and are not predictable by your magic using professional.)

These low introductory rates are subject to change without notice and dependent on availability.  Payment may be acceptable in food rather than gold, at between two and three times times the gold rate, depending on our needs.

Thank you for your interest in trollsNmages4hire and we hope to fulfill all your troll and mage needs!

RD - WA.

We would like a three wizard group. P5, p4 and another low level is fine. Initially we would likely be paying to raise them. Troops we ask to summon later but will of course pay for there upkeep.

Wonderful news!  We can have a 5,4,4 group available immediately, which can (I think) be ready to teleport to your chosen location this turn.  With your initial deposit of 50k this turn (runs in 11 hours, by the way) we can also upgrade this to 5,5,5 but then would not be able to teleport to your chosen location until next turn.  Please specify 5,4,4 this turn, or 5,5,5 next turn, and choose with or without leaders and trolls.  Either way, please issue the standing order to trade 50,000 gold for our 1 food.

You may be interested in a new product we are testing that we may be able to include with the 5,5,5 wizard package, (but with an additional upkeep fee).  We call it the "Rock-N-Troll" a contingent of rock golems join the trolls for substantial boost in attacking power, and we suspect this group will be easily capable of capturing cities and plundering towns each turn without rest.  With the triple power 5 wizard strength, the army can teleport invisible each turn and still have a mage available for that earthquake spell to soften up PCs.

Raising wizards beyond level 5 will be a problem as adequate facilities may not be available for some time (the DE is about to lay the smack on our capitol).  However, with substantial additional financial support, this may be possible in the future.

Please note this low introductory rate of 50k per turn is subject to change, as 3 power 5 wizards can sit comfortably in the safety of the lab and create 30k gold per turn all by themselves without risk and without paying and feeding the trolls.  (If the trolls are having fun though, all will be well.  The main goal is to engage the combat mechanics and specifically observe the conditions of brigade promotion in various types of troops and battles.)  

Upon confirmation of your order, we will begin processing it immediately.

Thank you for using trollsNmages4hire for your troll and mage needs!

WA -> DE

TrollsNmages4hire would like to extend a special offer to your kingdom.  While it is not legal to arrange non-aggression pacts, or alliances of any kind (if I understand correctly), the Warlock kingdom would like to "surrender" and offer a 3-turn bounty package for Darkover in return for allowing us to keep our capitol plus a single land based PC anywhere in Darkover or Diamond coast, your choice of PC.

I think it would be legal to promise not to plunder any PCs in your regions of Darkover or Diamond Coast unless it is at the behest of another kingdom paying us to do so.  We would also like to be allowed to enamor to "suspicious" for troll moral purposes, and to run a merchant ship lane in the endless sea.

Additional services are negotiable.  And congrats on a very well-executed surprise attack, really at the perfect time right before we were able to further fortify our capitol.

DE --> WA

I believe we can easily reach an agreement. I will move off the capital, and leave you with the village in the water near the top. I will allow you to raise the regional reaction in DC so your troops can recover morale. I will reclaim my PC in the region this turn as well. Plundering villages/Towns in my region would revert us back to our current state. If things remain peaceful i will give an additional PC next communication cycle.
I would like to explore my kingdoms capabilities more as well before the AM or RD sweep the game, and could also be interested in your services in the future.

Let me know if the terms are acceptable

DE --> ALL

Will it be Dragons or fierce fighting woman that take this game? I put my money on the AM as they have recently demolished the holdings and looted the region of the kind old ancient ones. With their newfound wealth of not just gold but food production make it just a turn or 2 before they snatch victory? Will the ancient reds simply let them roll to victory or stop them before they grow to an unstoppable force?
