After two years your nations finally return to the battlefield. The time apart has not done anything to alleviate tensions and the two armies seem to hate eachother more than ever!
The boiler room is a mixed bag for both sides. Goria invested in some leather armor, but when it comes to the actually fighting, the Vunicos can't help but to laugh. The Gorians all seemed to be dressed in, what looks to be, leather boxes. And while they are certainly better than the old armor, it does make them less able to move freely. This humor disappears once the Gorians reveal their newest weapon, little ice dragons that charge into the Vunico forces. Now they are easy enough to slay, but killing them doesn't seem to be the problem. When the little dragons get into the fray, they explode in icy shrapnel! This is devastating to the Vunico front lines. Vunico counters with kamikazes of their own. Apparently they found a way to induce their crossbow bolts with patriotism, and fire. Tiny voices scream out "
FOR VUNICO as they wiz through the air. Now this wouldn't be so bad, if they didn't explode into flames upon impacting the Gorian forces. By the end of the fighting, neither side really gained an advantage, but both sides lost a signifigant number of soldiers.
The expanse tells a very different story. Skirmishes here are mostly won by the Gorians, giving them an advantage in the coming melee. And what a melee it was. Giant slimes led charges of smaller slimes, with devastating effects. These giant slimes were hard to take down, but with the new exploding (and incredibly patriotic) bolts, it was possible for Vunico to regain control of the fighting. They had gained floating shields that covered for their soldiers before entering the fray, however they were easily struck down after they gave up their defensive positions. Of course, the Demon of Vunico slaughtered dozens of men, and inspired his own to do the same. In the end, Vunico gained a small advantage.
The mushroom caverns were completely crazy. Skirmishes of spiders and Vunico-seeking-suicide-lizards, made the early fighting very interesting. Vunico gained a small advantage here, their spiders ability to climb things was simply unparalleled. Vunico boasted larger carpets, that helped alleviate the slowing effect of the enemy slime mages. And when they began raining bolts down from the sky, well, that certainly was spectacular. Too bad for them they were getting slimed and frozen on the ground by the Gorians. With Goria being outgunned by anti-slime explosive bolts, but Vunico being unable to press their advantage, neither side could really make any advances.
Goria wrecked the frozen tunnels. From the get go, they managed to win every skirmish, which left the Vunicos in complete disarray when the melee broke out. The close quarters, and freezing suicide dragons, did massive damage to the Vunico forces. Enchanted swords could only hold them back for so long, even though their new magic shields actually managed to absorb a lot of crossbow bolts here, it just wasn't enough to stop the giant slimes from slithering forward. By the end of the fighting, Goria had managed to retake the ground they lost two years ago.
Strange glowing symbols have appeared in the expanse. They are on the walls, the floor, and some even float midair. It seems some long forgotten artifact is activating in the Expanse next year. You have no idea what it means, but some of the symbols are similar to those you found in your notes.
