The raid on Dierdriu's coastline was a disaster! Nearly all the troops, upon first sight of the voluptuous Amazons, instantly deserted and became husbands/slaves. Every man's dream? Anyway, Archimedes ordered a halt to the invasion. "Besides, the extra troops are needed to die, um, uh, fight! closer to home." Word has reached Galifil that a bunch of Amazon blondes are sailing toward the coast in some large yachts. You can imagine what this is doing to Elvish morale! "Okay! That's it - no more magic to research!" the lead apprentice was heard to tell Archimedes. "That's it!!!??? Couldn't you research a 'DO ANYTHING YOU WANT SPELL' or something like that? Dang! I'll have to fall back onto Plan B." (See Below) Nardel's tactics continue to out-maneuver and out-guess the Elvish captains. The idea of using dogs to fight bone dragons was a fiasco. It was the bone dragons that ate the dogs - and everything else. Hmmm... Maybe when the Pyramid of Power is completed... Other conflicts had mixed results. A large (Nardel) Gnomish force has been quickly established near the Galifil border in Bafsma. They continue to grow in numbers of large quality troops. Meanwhile, Elvish recruitment continues with peasants lined up to receive large pointed sticks guaranteed to kill an unarmed and sleeping opponent. "Remember, the Minotaurs are nothing more than a bunch of bull - or a bunch of Minotaurs are bullies - or something like that", Archimedes was quoted as saying. (There still is an opening for a speech writer in Galifil) It is believed that there are no more heroes in the world. Even after sponsoring THE MOST EXPENSIVE TOURNAMENT last month, the winner turned out to be a Halfling with a sling named David. Most people were betting on the Storm giant, Goliath. The story has quickly spread across the world of the outcome. David turned down the offer after winning. Great! That leaves us without a hero this month... Meanwhile, secretly, the Elves have come up with the idea of releasing the actual DREADLORD from his captivity. The only Elf with an IQ over 100 was nominated. The idea is that the Dreadlord will be so grateful that he'll grant us three wishes. Guess which 3! As of the time of this printing, White, the Bishop, was seen at the Wizard's Pyramid where the dreaded Dreadlord is imprisoned. "Open Sesame!", he screamed at the large, magically locked doors. A loud "kathunk" and a slow creak of the doors... (Continued next week at this same time and same channel)

Trade with the darkelves of Blazar |
Storiesby: Hydarcus MorianAlive without breath; as cold as death; never thirsting, ever drinking; clad in mail, never clinking. Drowns on dry land, thinks an island is a mountain; thinks a fountain is a puff of air. So sleek, so fair! What a joy to meet! We only wish to catch a fish, so juicy-sweet! | |||

Dierdriu diary, month 36. War
The dance around the mountains with Arcwelder continues. It is becoming boring. The moment we think we will
encounter his army, we find only the remnants he left.
Magic The last research is due this month. Heroes, Mercenaries and Trade Only one caravan showed up. But they had just the goods we hadn't produced ourself. Everything was bought. Army
A 1000 man will strengthen our army, to replace the losses we will enevitably have with the battle in Stargazers
capital.
