"And so here we are, unable to enter our ancestral home... poor Argavens and Barguedocs of old, they're restless corpses. We will put them to sleep." Lady Isabeau Argaven then began giving orders to the mercenaries and the loyal guards alike, directing them to all the important but not central places; the stables, the storage rooms, the kitchen, the towers...

Until only five people remained free and willing to take arms against the walking corpses.

"Stephen, Anna, Myrdwyn, Camille and Soren... you will go and cleanse the chambers of my family. It is not that I consider this an honour, as they will surely be infested with undeath the most... but I do not trust other servants with treasures of my family that are possibly still laying, undisturbed, in their coffers. I would rather see you retrieve and use them than have them be plundered by the common men or sold on the market. For that purpose, I will give you these, Stephen." A small keyring of intricately-looking keys went into the bard's hands.

"May the Golden Candle, or whichever divine being you believe in, guide you safely through the ruins." And the group stepped forth toward the charred, roofless ruin of Argaven Keep... only hearing shuffling and clunking of the restless corpses still pacing about its halls.

Stephen gets Chest Keyring!

Stephen Reglos, Anna Candar, Myrdwyn Callaghan, Camille Rhys and Soren Varan are now active!

Kill all enemies.

Enemies stats are here!

You send the quickest messenger you have, instructing the governor to spend all money set aside as yearly revenues on mercenaries.


The siege of House of Lech continues, althought casualties and damage to the fortifications are both heavy. The Army sent to relieve the siege instead got caught in a bloody slaughter with one quarter of Damdamian invasion force.

4*

The battle was won and the Damdamians retreated south of the House, but in the fighting, sixteen Oliphaunts were lost to the crossbowmen and wicked Damdamian siege engines with shoot sharpened wooden logs capable of splitting a man in two, and also proved to be very good at gouging the Oliphaunts' eyes or pierce their thick skulls.


The fighting against the Damdamians continues, while with trumpets and cheering, two thousand Tven longbowmen and same number of light cavalry passes through capital of Luathbas as the Duke's sister, Lady Envynn, leads them!

You have them all sent to the frontlines.

Not as such great news come from Augas; the mixed soldiers and mercenaries troops are faring badly against the experienced and clever foes that are Damdamians. The province continues to fight, though.

6*

Victory! Two thousand Damdamians fell in a brilliant tactical performance by Luathbas Army, led by Ceodwell! While a third of that number also died on Luathbas side, a victory is a victory.

4*

House of Lech continues to fight on and actually managed to grind down some of the Damdamian siegers. However, reports place the outer walls in terrible state and the main keep itself is in ruin. The soldiers there are fighting basically on a fortified pile of rubble.

A guard arrives in your throne room - bringing a letter full of anguish and horror.

"What does that mean!?" You toss the parchment on the floor.

"It means what it is written, my Queen. King Beren, your vassal, has renounced your rule and pledged loyalty to Damdamian Republic. I assume that's why a quarter of the Damdamian Army moved there - either to pressure him or to protect him." The advisor bows his head.


The Spymaster confirms the worst; King Beren have willingly been scheming with Damdamians for past few months, and secured independence and future ownership of 'western Luathbas' in exchange for betraying you!

A heavily-breathing messenger runs into the throne room and kneels before you.

"Your Majesty! Report from Augas! The forces of the Governor are having terrible time against the Damdamians and several outposts fell into their hands, but there might be hope; approximately three thousand of Gubta skirmishers and swordsmen are marching through Khosra, reports say, to offer you military assistance."

A) "Excellent news! Inform the Governor that he is given full ability to use the Gubta troops for defense of Augas!"
B) "Wonderful! Tell the Governor to split the Gubta reinforcements and keep half of them at his side to boost the defences of the province.
C) "Splendid! Have the Governor make sure that Gubta won't be harassed, and can reinforce central Luathbas with their full numbers."

What is the name of the most funny Roman?

Pretty positive there was a standard peashooter, and also at least two or three different types of beams v:

It wasn't a bullet hell, for sure; there was never as many enemies/projectiles on the screen at once.

Whoops. Guess who thought that the decision was being made much later today and so had plenty of time to finalize their character? :v

Well duh make it for Chapter 1 then v:

Let's be the guy who arrives basically at the last possible minute on account of having literally just recently registered!

Where do you come from :v

Are you one of Pyon's doods from that other forum?

A caravan of gold is qucikly prepared and sent to the Damdamian Senate.

Few days later, there's an emissary from King Anktuk.

"Greetings, Queen Elana." He bows in respect. "My master, King Anktuk of Dahnia, wishes to know if Princess Eirike has been found, and if yes, if we can proceed with the marriage?"

A) Nah, no marriage.
B) Of course! We will send Eirike at once!
C) Ask if Anktuk would like Aife or Elga (the latter after she grows up few years) as a wife instead.

After fifteen years, third outta four childhood mysteries of mine have been solved! :V

An old RPG game RuneSword 2 had some classical pieces as combat music, and I played that game intensely so they were stuck in my head, but this week I managed to find out them all, the last bits being parts of Mahler's 'Titan' symphony.

This intense feeling of satisfaction makes me happy
